Slot Glossary
34 terms covering Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Hold & Win coin mechanic, four jackpot tiers, Excalibur Expanding Wilds, Avalon Free Spins, and the path to 5,000x.
Autoplay
Spin Golden Avalon: Hold and Win on automatic for a chosen number of rounds. Optional stop conditions: stop on Hold & Win trigger, stop on Free Spins, or stop on a specific jackpot tag landing. Useful because the 6+ Coin trigger sits at roughly 1 in 220 base spins — autoplay grinds dry stretches without manual clicks.
Avalon Free Spins
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's scatter feature. Triggered by 3 scatter symbols on the same base spin. Awards 10 spins. During the run the coin appearance rate roughly doubles, making Hold & Win retriggers inside Free Spins genuinely realistic. Excalibur Wilds also pull double duty — when they expand they carry a 2x multiplier on any win they complete.
Base Game
Regular spins on the 5×3 grid before Hold & Win activates. Wins resolve through 20 Lines left-to-right starting from reel 1. Hit frequency around 28%, so roughly one in three spins returns something. Most session profit waits on Hold & Win triggers, not base line wins.
Bet Range
$0.20 to $50 per spin on Golden Avalon: Hold and Win. Bet covers all 20 paylines automatically. Bonus Buy where legal scales with your bet — same proportional value at any stake level.
Bonus Buy (Feature Buy)
Skip base spins and jump straight into Hold & Win or Avalon Free Spins. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win offers Bonus Buy at roughly 100x bet. Maintains the 95.96% base RTP. Restricted in UK, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands. BGaming distributes through licensed crypto-friendly operators globally.
Coin Symbol
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's headline mechanic. Each Coin Symbol carries a printed value from 1x to 500x your stake plus a small chance of a jackpot tag (Mini, Minor, Major, Grand). Six or more Coins on a single base spin lock the start of Hold & Win. Coins don't pay on base spins — they only count toward the trigger.
Counter Reset
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's respin extender. Hold & Win opens with 3 respins. Every fresh Coin that drops resets the counter back to 3. A productive board where new coins keep landing can stretch the round to 6-10 effective respins. The reset rule is what makes full-board Grand fills possible (~1 in 12,000 features).
Dead Spin
A spin that returns nothing. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's medium-high volatility produces dead spins around 65-70% of the time at base. Excalibur Wilds give the base game some teeth between coin triggers — a wild on reel 3 can stretch into a vertical bar that completes paylines across all five reels at once, converting some near-miss spins into wins.
Excalibur Wild
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Wild symbol. Expands vertically to cover its entire reel when contributing to a winning combination. From reel 3, the expansion can complete payline wins across all five reels at once. In Free Spins, expanded Wilds carry a flat 2x multiplier. Substitutes for everything except Coin Symbols and scatters.
Feature Trigger Rate
How often features activate. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Hold & Win 6+ Coin trigger sits at roughly 1 in 220 base spins. Free Spins 3-scatter trigger sits at ~1 in 290 base spins. Combined feature rate brings entertainment cycles into the 130-spin range on average.
Four Jackpot Tiers
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win carries Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpot tiers tied to special Coins during Hold & Win. Mini ~10x stake, Minor ~25x, Major ~250x, Grand 5,000x. Tiers land via the jackpot tag on Coin symbols. Major requires multiple jackpot-tagged coins combining; Grand requires the full 15-cell board fill.
Grand Jackpot
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's top fixed prize. Awarded when all 15 reel positions on the 5×3 grid lock with Coins during a single Hold & Win round. Pays 5,000x your bet — this is the path to the 5,000x cap. Realistic odds: ~1 in 12,000 triggered features. Individual coin values are added on top.
Grid Layout
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win runs 5×3 — five reels by three rows, totaling 15 cells. The 15-cell board doubles as the Hold & Win surface. Filling every cell during the bonus is the Grand Jackpot trigger condition. Standard slot grid where the bonus mechanic gives every cell additional functional weight.
Hit Frequency
How often Golden Avalon: Hold and Win lands any winning combination. Base game hit rate sits around 28% — roughly one in three spins returns something. Excalibur Wilds boost effective frequency by completing payline wins across multiple reels when expanded.
Hold & Win Coin Respins
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's headline feature. Trigger: 6+ Coin Symbols on one base spin. Coins lock in landing positions, 3 respins start. Each new coin resets the counter to 3. Round ends when respins reach zero or all 15 positions fill. Final payout sums every locked coin value plus any jackpot tags hit.
Major Jackpot
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's third-tier jackpot. Pays around 250x your stake when multiple jackpot-tagged coins combine during the same respin sequence. Hits roughly 1 in 600 triggered features. Session-defining when it lands — substantial enough to flip a losing session positive.
Max Win
The absolute maximum a slot can pay on a single round. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win caps at 5,000x. The path runs exclusively through Hold & Win Grand Jackpot (full 15-cell fill) plus accumulated coin values. No other feature combination reaches the cap. Modest by 2025 standards but reachable through medieval Hold & Win design.
Mini Jackpot
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's smallest fixed jackpot tier. Pays around 10x your stake. Most common jackpot outcome — roughly 1 in 14 triggered features land Mini. Treat it as a steady consolation prize during the chase for higher tiers.
Minor Jackpot
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's second-tier jackpot. Pays around 25x your stake. Hits at roughly 1 in 40 triggered features. The Mini-and-Minor pair are the practical outcomes most Hold & Win triggers produce.
Multiplier
A value that multiplies your win. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Excalibur Wilds carry a flat 2x multiplier on wins they complete during Free Spins. Coin values during Hold & Win don't multiply against each other — they sum. The multiplier mechanic lives only in Free Spins; Hold & Win uses straight value addition.
Paylines
Predefined lines across the reels where matching symbols form a win. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win runs 20 Lines on the 5×3 grid. Lines pay left-to-right starting from reel 1. All 20 lines are always active. Standard density for medium-high vol Hold & Win designs.
Paytable
The reference chart showing each symbol's payout. Access through the game's info menu. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's premium symbols (Arthurian knights, golden chalice, sword) pay the most line wins. Mid-tier symbols include medieval banners and shields. Card royals (A/K/Q/J/10) fill out the bottom across the 20-line layout.
RNG (Random Number Generator)
The cryptographic algorithm determining every spin outcome. BGaming uses iTech Labs-certified RNGs — independently audited for fairness. Each spin in Golden Avalon: Hold and Win is independent of the last; previous Coin counts or jackpot history have zero influence on future outcomes. Provably fair variants available on certain operators.
RTP (Return to Player)
The theoretical percentage of wagered money a slot returns over millions of spins. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win runs at 95.96% — slightly below the 96% benchmark but typical for Hold & Win slots where part of the return concentrates in jackpot tiers. Always verify the exact percentage in the game info screen before spinning.
Respin
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Hold & Win mechanic spins only the unfilled cells while locked Coins stay in place. Three respins start the bonus; each new Coin landing resets the counter to three. The respin loop ends only when three consecutive respins produce no new coins or the board fills completely.
Scatter
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Free Spins trigger symbol. Three scatters anywhere on the reels open the 10-spin Avalon Free Spins round. Distinct from Coin Symbols (which trigger Hold & Win). Two separate scatter-style mechanics drive Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's feature density.
Session Variance
The gap between actual results and theoretical RTP. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's 95.96% RTP and medium-high volatility produce meaningful session swings. A 500-spin session can return 40% to 200% of stake. Most expected return concentrates in Hold & Win triggers — sessions without one tend to track close to a flat loss rate.
Sticky
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Coins lock in place once they land during the Hold & Win trigger spin or during respins. They stay frozen for the entire bonus round. Standard sticky behavior — locked coins display their face value plus any jackpot tag throughout the respin sequence.
Volatility (Variance)
How a slot's payouts are distributed. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win is rated Medium-High — meaning stretches of empty respins between coin triggers, but the four-jackpot ladder gives you visible mid-tier targets along the way. Bankroll requirement: 500x stake minimum for a realistic shot at riding out the gap between Hold & Win triggers.
Wild
A symbol that substitutes for any regular symbol to complete winning combinations. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Excalibur Wild substitutes for all regular symbols and expands to cover its entire reel when contributing to a win. From reel 3, expansion can complete wins across all five reels. In Free Spins, expanded Wilds carry a 2x multiplier on completed wins.
BGaming Provider Catalog
BGaming is a Cyprus-headquartered provider known for crypto-friendly distribution and provably fair variants. Golden Avalon: Hold and Win (2024) sits in their Hold & Win catalog. iTech Labs certification covers their RNG. Distribution skews toward European regulated markets and crypto casinos. Recognized for clean Hold & Win math models like Bonanza Billion and Deep Sea Wild.
Coin Density Inside Free Spins
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's Free Spins multiplier on Hold & Win. During the 10 Avalon Free Spins, the coin appearance rate roughly doubles compared to base game. A Hold & Win retrigger inside Free Spins is statistically more likely to finish with 11-13 locked coins, putting the Major and (rarely) Grand within reach. The single biggest reason Free Spins matter beyond the spin count itself.
Hold & Win Trigger Mathematics
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's 6+ Coin trigger probability. Single-spin trigger rate: ~1 in 220 base spins. Trigger with 7 coins: ~1 in 700. Trigger with 8+ coins: ~1 in 2,800. Higher-coin triggers leave fewer empty cells to fill, dramatically increasing realistic Major/Grand probability during respins.
5×3 Grid with Hold & Win
Golden Avalon: Hold and Win's structural format. 5 reels × 3 rows = 15 cells. Standard slot grid where the entire board doubles as the Hold & Win bonus surface. Filling all 15 cells during a single bonus round is the only path to the Grand Jackpot and the 5,000x cap.
