Magic Apple Hold and Win Review

3 Oaks is a company that’s closely tied to Booongo. Together, they’ve become masters of the Hold and Win genre, and we’ve already seen plenty of such releases from them in that niche. Magic Apple Hold and Win doesn’t offer all that much in terms of original ideas, but it’s a rock solid slot at its core, so we’ll tell you everything you need to know about it. Let’s start with its playing board, which consists of 5 reels, 4 rows and 30 winlines.

Thematically, Magic Apple Hold and Win is a fairy tale video slot that builds on the popular Snow White tale that we’ve already seen in a couple of online slots. The visuals are well above average in terms of quality, and we like all the small graphics details that are included in the mix. All in all, the designers did a good job overall!

There’s no official word about the slot’s volatility, but we estimate it to be medium. The slot’s jackpot is then 2,000x your bet, and you can play for stakes between £0.25 and £60 at select casinos. Finally, the slot’s theoretical RTP appears to be 95.78%, though we don’t have an official confirmation.

Magic Apple Hold and Win Slot Features

Players can look forward to 9 pay symbols in Magic Apple Hold and Win, and they are split between 4 low-paying ones and 5 high-paying ones. The low-paying symbols feature card ranks from Jacks to Aces, and they offer the same payout values, which means that you’ll get 1.6x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. The high-paying symbols are worth much more, and feature characters from the Snow White tale. Snow White herself is the top-paying symbol, and you’ll win 8x your bet for a full combination.

Aside from all those pay symbols, there are also three special symbols thrown into the mix - Wilds, Castle Scatters, and Magic Apples. Wilds can substitute for other symbols in winning combinations, and they even offer their own payout values. Meanwhile, Castle Scatters and Magic Apples are there to trigger the slot’s two gameplay features.

Magic Apple Hold and Win Slot – Bonus Game

If you land 6 or more Magic Apples on the playing board, you’ll trigger the Bonus Game, which is essentially a Hold and Win feature of sorts. All Magic Apples are sticky during the feature, and you’ll get a set of 3 respins to start with. Each new Magic Apple that lands resets the number of respins back to 3, and the feature continues until you either fill the board with Magic Apples or run out of respins. While standard Magic Apples carry bet multipliers, there are also Jackpot Magic Apples that will net you their corresponding jackpots. There are three of those, and they are called Mini, Minor, and Major. As for their worth, they will net you 20x, 50x, or 150x your bet, respectively. If you fill the entire board with Magic Apples, you’ll win the Grand jackpot, which is worth 2,000x your bet!

Finding 3 or more Castle Scatters then leads to the Free Spins feature, which offers 8 free spins. Retriggers are possible in the same way, as a set of 3 or more Castle Scatters will give you 8 additional free spins. During the feature, all Wilds are transformed into 2x Multiplier Wilds, which means that they double all wins in which they play a role!

Review Summary

If Hold and Win slots are your cup of tea, you’ll certainly want to give Magic Apple Hold and Win a shot for its magical atmosphere. There aren’t that many fairy tale slots out there with Hold and Win features, so it’s pleasant that we have at least one good release at our disposal. Throw in the slot’s free spins, which come with 2x Multiplier Wilds, and it should be easy to see that the game can indeed be a lot of fun. Just don’t go in expecting a lot of original ideas!
