Moon Spirit Hold & Win Review

The cartoonish visual style is polished enough to make a decent first impression, and it does make Moon Spirit Hold & Win stick out a bit from the get-go. The vibe is more relaxed and less serious than in popular installments like Eyecon’s Shaman’s Dream, to give one example, but you still have to strap yourself in for a somewhat bumpy ride in the untamed North American wilderness.

iSoftBet has hardly revolutionized the Hold & Win genre with this release, but it comes with a few twists and turns that makes it somewhat interesting. Aside from x2 multiplying multiplier wilds and mystery symbols in the base game, you will benefit from upgradable cash symbols in the Hold & Win feature. A range of okay jackpots are also thrown in for good measure, and we go into more details below.

Moon Spirit Hold & Win Features

The howling wolf Wild can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combos. It also comes with an x2 multiplier, and the wild multipliers can multiply up to x8 if you land 3 as part of the same win. The wild holds no value of its own, and the premium symbols pay between 2.33 and 13.33 x your stake.

The Moon Mystery Spin feature can trigger at any time, and you will then see stacks of mystery symbols fill a good portion of the 5x3 grid. The mystery symbols all reveal the same matching pay symbols once the spin stops, and this can lead to larger base game payouts.

You need 5+ Moon Spirit scatters in view to trigger the Dreamcatcher Hold & Win Respins feature.

The triggering dreamcatchers are all “level 1” symbols, but landing new sticky dreamcatchers upgrade all adjacent (above, below, left and/or right) symbols to the next tier. The cash values of the respective symbols are hidden until the feature ends, and this is when the Spirit Wind blows to reveal what each symbol is worth. There are 3 dreamcatcher levels, and they pay as follows:

• Level 1 (green dreamcatchers) - award cash prizes between 1x and 5x, or the Mini Totem Jackpot worth 10x your stake.
• Level 2 (purple dreamcatchers) - award cash prizes between 6x and 20x, or the Major Totem Jackpot worth 100x your stake.
• Level 3 (red dreamcatchers) - award cash prizes between 25x and 250x, or the Grand Totem Jackpot worth 1,000x your stake.

The 200 Spins Moon Spirit Hold & Win Experience

The 4:24-minute highlights video starts right as we trigger the Moon Mystery Spin, and this gave us a larger payout. We grind along in the base game for a good while, before the Dreamcatcher Hold & Win Respins feature is finally triggered around the 3-minute mark.

Review Summary

We like the cartoonish visual style of Moon Spirit Hold & Win, and the x2 multiplier wilds very seldom went to waste in our experience. You can get plenty of dead spins for a while, before a boosted wild win tops up your balance. Also, the Moon Mystery Spins feature will usually provide a decent top-up, while more significant payouts are bound to come from the Dreamcatcher Hold & Win Respins feature.

Overall, this is a pretty run of the mill effort in the Hold and Win genre though, with a few decent tweaks to make it interesting enough for a spin or two. We like the 3-tier dreamcatcher upgrade system, but the 1,000x Grand Jackpot isn’t all that impressive. Plenty of red dreamcatchers will create a tense Spirit Wind reveal moment in the end though, and the overall 6,480x potential is pretty solid.

Pros

• x2 multiplier wilds on 3 middle reels
• Random Mystery Symbols Spin
• Hold & Win w/ 3-tier cash symbol upgrade
• Win jackpots up to 1,000x your stake
• Overall max win of 6,480x your stake

Cons

• Decent installment, but nothing spectacular
