Barn Festival Hold & Win Slot Review
Barn Festival is a farm-themed cascading slot from Pragmatic Play, with a 6×5 grid and Scatter Pays mechanics, where wins are formed when 8+ identical symbols appear. The RTP is 96.45%, the volatility is high, and the maximum win reaches a multiplier of 20000x. The bet size varies from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has Hold and Win mechanics and a bonus buy feature.
Symbols and Paytable
The game has low-paying symbols in the form of card denominations, as well as high-paying symbols – images of fruits and vegetables that pay from 10x to 50x for a combination of 12+ symbols. Money symbols trigger the Hold & Win round, pay from 1x to 500x, and form a general win multiplier if 3+ Money symbols appear in one cascade.
Bonus and Special Features
Cascades
Barn Festival has a cascading mechanic that triggers new symbols to fall in those places where the winning combination was collected. As a result of removing some and the appearance of other symbols in the same places, players can count on several consecutive wins in one spin.
Hold and Win Mechanic
The Money Respin feature is triggered when 4+ Money symbols appear. They are fixed on the grid, after which 3 respins are launched, which can be reset and restarted if a new Money symbol appears on the grid. There are 7 types of special symbols with different functions in the Hold and Win round.
| Special Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
| Add Value | Adds a random value to all Money symbols and turns into a Money symbol. |
| Multiply | Multiplies 2-5 random Money symbols by x2, x3, x4, or x5. |
| Collect | Sums the values of all Money symbols. |
| Unlock | Opens an additional reel and turns into a Money symbol. |
| Persistent Add | Adds value to all Money symbols on each respin. |
| Persistent Multiply | Multiplies Money symbols on each respin. |
| Persistent Collect | Sums the values of Money symbols on each respin. |
Filling all cells with activated additional reels brings a bonus with a multiplier of 500x.
Bonus Buy
Players can buy a round of Money Respin for 100x the bet, which guarantees 4+ Money symbols to drop.
