Pirate Chest: Hold and Win by Playson is a clean, well-executed pirate-themed slot that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—but nails the experience for players who love classic bonus features and sharp visuals. Think treasure maps, gold coins, and skull-emblazoned loot, all sailing on a polished 5×4 grid with 25 paylines.
The base game keeps things simple with wild substitutions and decent win potential, but the real treasure lies in the Hold and Win feature. Land 6 or more bonus symbols (gold coins), and you’ll trigger a bonus game with 3 respins. Every new coin resets the count, and special symbols can unlock one of three fixed jackpots—Mini, Major, or Grand.
Land 3 scatters and you’ll activate the Free Spins mode, where more bonus symbols appear on the reels, giving you a better shot at triggering Hold and Win. It’s a tight feature loop that works well, especially for players who enjoy frequent bonus action.
The RTP is 96.1%, and with medium-high volatility, you get a nice mix of consistent small wins and occasional bursts when the features line up. The max win of 3,000x is solid, though not earth-shattering—but it’s achievable, especially in a good Hold and Win chain.
