Popular iGaming content provider BGaming summons a mystical cat-genie to help players’ wishes come true in the brand-new Golden Paw Hold & Win slot.

Golden Paw Hold & Win provides a fresh perspective on the classic Hold and Win gameplay mechanic. The game boasts 1,024 ways to win on every spin, with a variety of five exciting progressive bonus rounds, expanding reels, and a mesmerising leading character.

BGaming has utilised the same visual style from successful hits like Alice WonderLuck, drawing players in with vibrant colours and a larger-than-life character. This striking visual design ensures the action remains engaging on every spin. The central character in the game is an enchanting cat genie, who transforms from tiny to mighty during the game’s Hold and Win bonus.

This is not the only captivating feature in the Hold and Win round, with every coin collected triggering the reels to expand and boosting the player’s winning potential. Players can get their hands on a maximum win of x2,000, with the slot serving up an impressive RTP of 97%.

Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said, Character-driven slots are always a huge hit with our operating partners and players, and Golden Paw Hold & Win is one of our most magical offerings to date. The design team has brought our concept to life with stunning visuals and a unique main character that we know will be a big hit. 

Hold and Win is a proven, easily readable mechanic for classic players, and improving it with a dynamically expanding board is an unexpected twist that matches the genie’s antics.”
