Get to know this Hold & Spin slot
Joker's Jewels' Hold & Spin feature. Joker's Jewels Hold & Spin is a 5-reel, 3-row gem-themed slot from Pragmatic Play, released in January 2026. You spin across 5 fixed paylines to land matching symbols like rubies, teal gems, and jester icons. The Hold & Spin feature defines the game: land 3 or more MONEY symbols anywhere on the grid to trigger a bonus round where regular symbols fade away and only MONEY tiles remain. High volatility means wins come less often but can be much bigger.
Who this high-volatility game fits. This slot suits you if you chase big wins and can handle long spells without payouts. The Hold & Spin bonus is the main event; base game wins keep you in play between triggers. With a minimum bet of NZ$0.05 and a maximum of NZ$250, players with different stakes can find their level. High volatility appeals to those who value the chance at a massive payout over steady, frequent returns.
How locked tiles build your payout. Hold & Spin reshapes how a round plays. When you trigger it with 3 or more MONEY symbols, the reels transform into a locked grid showing only MONEY tiles. You start with 3 respins; each new MONEY tile you land locks in place and resets your respins to 3. The round ends when respins run out or the grid fills completely. All MONEY values lock down are summed and multiplied by your total bet, with a possible payout of up to 10,000 times your stake.

RTP is the average return over an extremely large number of spins. This figure applies to the standard game only, and represents what the house keeps over that long run.

Random spins versus known RTP: the gap between numbers and results
When the bonus arrives. The Hold & Spin bonus round arrives by chance. No pattern or bet size changes when it triggers. Your session could run through dozens of spins without landing the Money symbols needed to start it.
This session, then the next one. The 96.52% RTP describes what happens over thousands of spins across many players. Your own session goes up or down by pure chance, not by the RTP. One day you might lose your budget fast; another day you might land big wins early.
The ceiling sits far above normal play. The maximum win of NZ$2,500,000 is the ceiling at the highest bet. It happens extremely rarely. Most of your spins land smaller wins or lose money. Chasing the max means playing long and risking more than most players do.

Play within your means on Joker's Jewels Hold & Spin
Know your spend limit. Set a budget in dollars before you play, based only on money you can afford to lose. Stick to it when the reels are running and stop once you reach it, regardless of what happens on screen.
When to quit after winning. Decide in advance how long you will play and when you will walk away, even after a big win. A win is not a reason to keep spinning; it is a reason to stop and enjoy what you have.
Limits keep you in control. Use your account's deposit limits and loss limits. Set them now, before you forget, and choose amounts that match your budget. Betsio offers deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders and a cooling-off period.
Help is a single call away. Take a break if play stops feeling like fun or if you are chasing losses. The Problem Gambling Foundation, Gambling Helpline New Zealand and the Multi-Venue Exclusion Programme all offer free support.
