About Energy Joker: Hold and Win
Energy Joker: Hold and Win is a classic fruit slot by Playson. Its central feature is a Hold and Win bonus that stacks gold BONUS coins across the reels until the jackpot is within reach. The game runs on 5 fixed paylines across a 3x5 grid.
There are four special symbols: the BONUS coin that locks in place and pays, and the COLLECT coin that sweeps up all visible values. The Joker WILD substitutes in the base game; the MULTIPLIER Joker boosts coin payouts inside the bonus. The top prize is the Grand Jackpot at 5,000x.
Slot Aesthetics & Design
The reels carry the standard fruit set: watermelons, grapes, oranges, plums, cherries, a red seven, and a BAR symbol. The Joker is center stage, appearing both as WILD in the base game and as MULTIPLIER in the bonus. The bright palette and energetic coin animations mark the "Energy" identity.
RTP and Volatility
RTP: 95.74%. Volatility is medium. Reaching the Grand Jackpot at 5,000x requires filling every cell during the Hold and Win bonus. That is a low-frequency event, but the re-spin mechanic makes it reachable.
Free Spins Bonus in Energy Joker
The Hold and Win bonus triggers when 6 or more BONUS symbols (gold coins) appear on the reels – either as BONUS alone, or as a combined count of BONUS and COLLECT symbols. The WILD Joker plays no part in the bonus and does not appear during it.
At the start of the bonus, the counter is set to 3 re-spins. Every new BONUS or COLLECT symbol that lands resets the counter back to 3. All symbols except MULTIPLIER stick where they land. Each coin carries its payout value directly on the symbol: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, or x10 the bet. The bonus runs until re-spins run out or every cell on the grid is occupied. At the end, all visible BONUS coin values are summed and paid out in a single total.
Pile of Gold
Any BONUS or COLLECT symbol that lands during the base game has a chance to trigger the Pile of Gold Feature. When it fires, additional BONUS and COLLECT symbols are added to the reels in a quantity sufficient to reach the 6+ threshold needed for the bonus to activate.
Pile of Gold is not guaranteed on every BONUS or COLLECT hit.
Multiplier Feature
The MULTIPLIER symbol appears only during the bonus game. When it lands, it places a random multiplier value – x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10 – into the cell, then vanishes. It does not stick and does not occupy that cell permanently.
If a MULTIPLIER lands in a cell that already holds a multiplier, the existing value increases. Stacking is additive: x3 followed by x2 produces x5. When a BONUS coin later occupies that cell, its payout is enhanced by the full multiplier value. The Joker gives in the base game; the Joker multiplies in the bonus.
Collect Feature
The COLLECT symbol is a blue lightning coin. When it lands during the bonus game, it instantly sweeps the total value of every visible BONUS symbol on the reels into a single payout.
COLLECT acts as a snapshot: it captures the sum of everything on screen at the moment it lands. Unlike regular BONUS coins, COLLECT does not stick. COLLECT also counts toward the 6+ trigger threshold in combination with BONUS symbols.
Symbols & Paytable
Paylines pay left to right, from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win per payline counts. All 5 lines are fixed and active on every spin. The WILD Joker substitutes for all regular symbols but cannot replace BONUS or COLLECT symbols. It appears in the base game only.
| Symbol | 5x | 4x | 3x |
|---|---|---|---|

$100.00 | $20.00 | $7.00 |
 |
$50.00 | $10.00 | $4.00 |

$10.00 | $3.00 | $1.00 |
Special symbols:
- WILD (Joker) – substitutes all regular symbols; base game only
- BONUS (gold coin) – triggers the bonus; pays only during the bonus game
- COLLECT (blue lightning coin) – collects all reel values during the bonus
- MULTIPLIER (Joker with overlay) – drops a random multiplier into a cell during the bonus, then disappears
Jackpots in Energy Joker: Hold and Win
Three jackpot-level BONUS symbols appear randomly during the bonus game, each carrying a fixed payout:
| Jackpot | Value |
|---|---|
| MAJOR | $150.00 |
| MINOR | $50.00 |
| MINI | $25.00 |
All three values are also collected by the COLLECT symbol when it fires. The Grand Jackpot pays 5,000x ($5,000.00) and requires every cell on the grid to be filled with BONUS symbols by the end of the bonus game.

FAQ
Landing 6 or more BONUS gold coins – or a combined count of BONUS and COLLECT symbols totaling 6+ – starts the Hold and Win bonus. The Pile of Gold Feature can also complete the trigger from a single BONUS or COLLECT coin in the base game, by adding enough coins to reach the threshold.
The MULTIPLIER Joker places a random multiplier – x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10 – in the cell and then disappears. The cell stays open for a BONUS coin to land. When a coin does land there, its payout is multiplied by that value. Multipliers can stack: two multiplier events on the same cell combine additively.
When the COLLECT blue lightning coin lands, it totals all BONUS coin values currently visible on the reels – including the fixed values of Mini ($25.00), Minor ($50.00), and Major ($150.00) jackpot coins – and pays that sum immediately.
Yes. If a second MULTIPLIER symbol lands in a cell that already holds a multiplier, the values add together. A cell with x3 that receives a new x2 multiplier becomes x5. That combined multiplier then applies to whichever BONUS coin lands in that cell.
Every cell on the 3x5 grid must be filled with BONUS symbols by the time re-spins run out. The Hold and Win re-spin mechanic resets the counter to 3 with each new coin, which gives the grid time to reach full coverage. The Grand Jackpot pays 5,000x the bet.
Pile of Gold is a base-game event. When any BONUS or COLLECT symbol lands during regular play, there is a chance the feature activates and fills the reels with enough additional BONUS and COLLECT symbols to reach the 6+ trigger count. It is not guaranteed on every hit – the chance-based nature is what makes single coin landings in the base game consequential.
