Hold the Safe belongs to the Luxury category by all means — it is glamorous, the symbols are presented as expensive items and, most importantly, it holds a high RTP. The minimalistic design is something development companies seem to prefer over complex 3D graphics and heavy animations, as it is a lot easier for total beginners to catch up with the fundamentals this way.
Hold the Safe RTP
Eyecon lives up to the Playtech’s principle to always be the best and the first when it comes to the technical elements of slot machines. Hold the Safe has the return to players percentage of 96.3%. This is a reasonable percentage when it comes to games with 15 symbol fields.
Hold the Safe Gameplay
The design is not the only simple thing in the Hold the Safe slot machine. The betting system is also pretty straightforward:
- There are 25 fixed paylines
- The minimum bet is 0.01 per line
- The maximum is 0.60
Adjusting the bet size is quite simple as well, thanks to the giant slider that pops up on the screen when a player clicks the stacked coins on the right-hand side of the reels.
Hold the Safe Symbols and Bonus Features
Eyecon did an outstanding job at designing and organising symbols in the paytable in a way that the value of the items presenting the symbols corresponds their value on the paytable.
Symbols
Eleven regular symbols consist of six card values (nine through ace) and five luxury items — diamond rings, diamonds, watches, suitcases full of cash and gold bars. Five gold bars award 200x, and it is the only symbol which gives something in return for connecting only two of a kind. All the other symbols require at least three on one of the 25 paylines.
The Wild can be connected with any other symbol on the board, except for the two Scatters.
Features
Let’s take a look at the two Scatters we previously mentioned and see what’s their role in the Hold the Safe slot machine:
- The diamond scatter — Awards 6 free spins whenever three or more diamonds appear at any position on the reels,
- Hold the Safe scatter — Activates the Hold the Safe Feature when at least three Hold the Safe Scatters appear on the screen at the same time.
In case three Hold the Safe and three diamond Scatters land in the same round, the bonus feature named after the game will be played before the free games.
Final Verdict
The game has a slight learning curve to it, so try it out in the free mode, for at least a couple of spins or until you see how the features play out. Of course, if you are a veteran, feel free to dive into the real money version right off the bat!
