Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win Slot Review

Classic fruits, coin respins, and a four-tier jackpot stack

A 3x3, five-payline Hold and Win slot released by Playson on 22 September 2022. High volatility, 95.64% declared RTP and a 10.16% hit rate, with four fixed jackpots from 25x to 1,000x and a 4,030x ceiling. No free spins and no bonus buy - everything runs through the coin respins.

Max Win 4,030x
Volatility High
Jackpot 1,000x
4.1/5

Our verdict - solid, but jackpot-driven

The four fixed jackpots are paid for with a 95.64% RTP and a 10.16% hit rate: this is a game about the bonus, not the base game. Worth a look if you like Hold and Win respins and can sit out dry spells - skip it if you want free spins or a bonus buy.

About Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win

Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win is a 3x3 reel slot from Playson, released in September 2022 as a follow-up to their original Royal Coins title. The game sits squarely in the classic fruit slot genre but adds a Hold and Win respin mechanic and four fixed jackpot tiers that push its ceiling considerably higher than a standard retro slot.

The setup is deliberate and uncomplicated: fruit, bell, bar and 777 symbols fill the base reels, three Bonus symbols trigger the bonus, and the bonus is where the game's potential lives. With a max win of 4,030x and a Grand jackpot worth 1,000x the stake, there is enough upside to keep high-volatility players engaged - though the 10.16% hit frequency means you should expect extended dry stretches between meaningful wins.

Playson positions this as a direct competitor to similar Hold and Win titles from 3 Oaks Gaming (formerly Booongo), Spinomenal, and BGaming. The 3x3 format and fixed jackpot structure are a common template across that genre, but Playson's execution here is clean and the game client is technically stable across major platforms.

Playson declares an RTP of 95.64%, and five aggregators - SlotCatalog, SlotsTemple, FluffySpins, AskGamblers and Casinos.com - all list that same figure. Worth being precise about what that agreement means: aggregators republish the provider's declared number, so it confirms the declaration rather than the behaviour of the game you load. The figure sits just below the 96% mark commonly quoted for standard non-jackpot slots, which is the usual trade-off in a fixed-jackpot format where part of the return pool funds the jackpots.

One detail most reviews skip: Royal Coins 2 does not ship with a single RTP. Configurations at 95.71% and 95.90% also circulate, because the operator chooses which build to integrate. Check the RTP shown in the game's own info panel at the casino you are playing at - that is the number that applies where you actually play.

Base Game Mechanics

Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win runs on a 3x3 grid with five fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right, and only the highest win on each line is paid. There are no scatter symbols and no free spins. The 777 symbol doubles as the wild: the game's own paytable says it substitutes for all symbols except Bonus and Royal Bonus, and a line of three 777s pays 50x the bet - the same figure SlotCatalog lists.

The 777 is also the highest-paying symbol. The rest of the paytable, as the game lists it for three on a line at a 1.00 bet: Bell 30.00, BAR BAR 20.00, Watermelon or Grapes 16.00, Plum, Orange or Lemon 4.00, Cherry 1.00 - the fruits in each group share one paytable entry. The figures move with the stake: at a 2.00 bet the game shows 100.00 for three 777s and 60.00 for Bells.

Two coin symbols have no line pays. The silver Bonus coin carries a cash value, lands only on reels 1 and 3 and pays only during the Bonus Game. The gold Royal Bonus coin, marked with a crown, lands only on reel 2 and triggers the Royal Bonus Feature during the Bonus Game.

AutoSpin is available for hands-off play, and Turbo mode increases spin speed for players who prefer a faster pace. Neither feature affects odds or RTP - they are purely UX conveniences.

BASE GAME Royal Coins 2 Hold and Win 3x3 grid with 777, Cherry, Bell, BAR BAR, Plum and Orange, a silver Bonus coin and the gold Royal Bonus coin, jackpot panel above
BASE GAME - six different paying symbols on the 3x3 grid (Plum lands twice), plus a silver Bonus coin worth 10.00 on reel 3 and the gold Royal Bonus coin on reel 2; the jackpot panel above the reels shows GRAND 1000.00, MAJOR 150.00, MINOR 50.00 and MINI 25.00 at a 1.00 bet

A notable design feature: the four-tier jackpot display is permanently visible above the reels during base game play. The values shown there are calculated at the current bet level, so as you raise or lower your stake, the displayed jackpot amounts update in real time to reflect the fixed multiplier at that bet. This is a straightforward way to keep the potential outcome visible without cluttering the interface.

Bonus Features

Hold and Win Bonus Game

Three Bonus symbols on the reels trigger the Bonus Game - that is the rule in the game's own info panel, shown with two silver Bonus coins and a gold Royal Bonus coin. There is a second way in: any Bonus or Royal Bonus symbol that lands in the base game can set off the Pile of Gold Feature, which adds enough coins to start the Bonus Game (see below).

The Bonus Game opens with three respins. While it runs, only Bonus and Royal Bonus symbols land on the reels, and every new symbol resets the counter to three. The round continues until the respins run out.

Each Bonus coin shows its prize in money: 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x or 15x the bet. Jackpot coins carry the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand prize instead. The 4,030x maximum comes from aggregators, and neither they nor the game's rules explain how it is reached.

Royal Bonus Feature

The gold Royal Bonus coin changes how the Bonus Game pays. It lands only on reel 2 and sticks there until the round ends. Each time one drops, it collects the values of all Bonus coins visible on the reels - jackpot coins included - adds them to its own value, and those Bonus coins disappear. When the Bonus Game ends, the totals held in all Royal Bonus coins are added to your win.

Four-Tier Fixed Jackpots

During the Hold and Win bonus, dedicated jackpot coin symbols can appear on the grid. Each jackpot coin type pays a fixed multiple of the triggering bet:

  • GRAND jackpot: 1,000x the bet
  • MAJOR jackpot: 150x the bet
  • MINOR jackpot: 50x the bet
  • MINI jackpot: 25x the bet

These are fixed multipliers, not progressive accumulators. The values displayed in the jackpot panel above the reels already show the stake-adjusted amounts for your current bet. There is no separate jackpot pool shared across players or casinos - each jackpot triggers independently per bonus round based on the fixed multiplier.

Pile of Gold Feature

Pile of Gold works in the base game, not inside the bonus. Any Bonus or Royal Bonus symbol that lands on a normal spin gives a chance to trigger it, and when it fires it adds Bonus and Royal Bonus symbols to the reels - enough, or more than enough, to start the Bonus Game. The title screen advertises it as an extra Bonus Game.

In practice it is a second route into the bonus: a spin that lands only one or two coins can still end in the Bonus Game. The rules do not say how often it fires.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Four fixed jackpot tiers up to 1,000x provide clear, visible upside targets
  • Clean 3x3 layout with no feature bloat - straightforward Hold and Win execution
  • Max win of 4,030x is competitive for the jackpot slot format
  • Jackpot values update in real time as you adjust bet size
  • Pile of Gold Feature gives a second route into the Bonus Game from spins that land only one or two coins
  • Turbo mode and AutoSpin available for flexible play style
  • Technically stable client, confirmed across multiple aggregator platforms

Cons

  • RTP of 95.64% is slightly below the standard 96% mark for non-jackpot slots
  • High volatility with 10.16% hit frequency means frequent non-winning spins
  • No free spins and no scatter - outside the Bonus Game the only extras are the 777 wild and the Pile of Gold Feature
  • No buy bonus option to access the Hold and Win round directly
  • No published odds for the Pile of Gold Feature or the jackpot coins - the rules only say they come up by chance

Our score: 4.1 / 5 - based on the RTP, volatility, feature set and jackpot structure set out above.

How Royal Coins 2 Compares

Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win occupies the fixed-jackpot Hold and Win segment alongside other 3x3 coin respin titles. The closest comparisons within that segment are 3 Coins (3 Oaks Gaming, formerly Booongo) and Wild Cash (BGaming). Both share the 3x3 grid and a bonus round built on locked symbols, but neither carries the fixed jackpot ladder that Royal Coins 2 is built around.

Jackpot Tiers4 (GRAND/MAJOR/MINOR/MINI)NoneNone

Free SpinsNoNoNo
WildYes (777)NoYes

On declared RTP the three sit close together: Royal Coins 2 at 95.64%, 3 Coins at 95.84% and Wild Cash at 96.23%. A 0.2 percentage point gap to 3 Coins is too small to feel in practice, and only Wild Cash holds a real edge - one it pays for with very high volatility and no jackpot ladder at all. Worth noting that 3 Oaks does not publish an official RTP for 3 Coins: 95.84% is the figure reported by aggregators, not a provider number.

Wild Cash from BGaming lets players buy the bonus round outright for 80x the stake, an option Royal Coins 2 does not offer. The trade is a far lower ceiling: 1,059x against 4,030x here, and no jackpot tiers. 3 Coins sits lower still at 750x, so on maximum win Royal Coins 2 leads this comparison by a wide margin.

Royal Coins 2 is a solid choice within its segment. It does not lead the category on any single metric, but it executes the Hold and Win format competently with a clean game client and a four-tier jackpot structure that is easy to understand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RTP of Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win?

Playson declares 95.64%, and SlotCatalog, SlotsTemple, FluffySpins, AskGamblers and Casinos.com all list that figure - though each republishes the provider's declaration rather than measuring the game independently. Configurations at 95.71% and 95.90% also exist, since operators choose which build to integrate, so check the in-game info panel at your casino. This sits slightly below the 96% mark that most aggregators list as typical for standard non-jackpot slots - a common outcome for jackpot formats where part of the return pool funds the fixed jackpot prizes.

How does the Hold and Win bonus trigger?

Three Bonus symbols on the reels start the Bonus Game, and in the base game the Pile of Gold Feature can add the coins needed to start it. The round opens with three respins; only Bonus and Royal Bonus symbols land during it, and each new symbol resets the counter to three. The Bonus Game ends when the respins run out.

What is the maximum win in Royal Coins 2?

The maximum win in Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win is 4,030x the stake - at the maximum bet of 100.00 that is 403,000. The figure is reported by SlotCatalog and AskGamblers; Playson does not state it in the game's own rules, and neither source explains which combination produces it. It is well above the four fixed jackpots added together, which make 1,225x.

What are the four jackpots and how much do they pay?

Royal Coins 2 has four fixed jackpots that scale with your bet. At any stake, they pay: GRAND = 1,000x, MAJOR = 150x, MINOR = 50x, MINI = 25x. These are not progressive jackpots - they are fixed multipliers. The Grand jackpot of 1,000x is the largest value a single coin lands with, though a Royal Bonus coin that collects it can end the round holding more.

Does Royal Coins 2 have free spins?

No, Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win does not have a free spins bonus round. Its bonus is the Hold and Win Bonus Game: it opens with three respins, only Bonus and Royal Bonus symbols land during it, and every new symbol resets the counter to three. There is also no buy bonus feature to access the respins directly.

What is the Pile of Gold Feature?

It is a base-game feature. Any Bonus or Royal Bonus symbol that lands on a normal spin gives a chance to trigger it, and it then adds enough Bonus and Royal Bonus symbols to start the Bonus Game - in effect, a second way into the bonus round.

Where can I play Royal Coins 2 in demo mode?

Right here: the demo block on this page loads Playson's own demo with play money and no account. If it does not start for you, aggregator sites such as SlotsTemple and Clash of Slots also carry free-play versions.

What are the minimum and maximum bets?

In Playson's demo the bet list runs from 0.20 to 100.00. SlotCatalog lists the same 0.20 minimum, while some other aggregators list 0.10. The range a casino offers can differ, so check the bet selector where you play.
