Heaven of 7, the slot studio owned by VeliTech, has released Kitsune’s Fortune: Hold and Win, a 5×3, 15-payline slot inspired by the kitsune, the shape-shifting fox spirits of Japanese folklore. Its main feature combines collect mechanics with sticky respins and four fixed jackpots, for wins of up to 5,000x the stake.

Bonus and Collect Symbols

Bonus Symbols carrying fixed values of 1x to 8x the bet, or one of the four jackpots, can land on the first and last reels. Their values are only paid when a Collect Symbol lands on the central reel, at which point every visible Bonus Symbol is added together and awarded on top of any payline wins.

Hold and Win respins

If at least one Bonus Symbol lands on reels 1 and 3 at the same time as a Collect Symbol on reel 2, the Hold and Win feature starts with three respins. Each new Bonus Symbol is collected and resets the counter, and the feature ends when no respins remain. A Pile Feature can also activate on any base game spin, adding Collect and Bonus Symbols to the reels at random, which can create a Collect win or trigger the respins.

Two Buy Bonus options give direct access to the Hold and Win respins for an extra stake.
