New Classic-Inspired 3×3 Slot Combines Retro Cabinet Nostalgia with Bonus Collect Mechanics and a 1,000x Grand Jackpot
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has further expanded its popular Hold & Hit series with the release of Crown Strike – Hold & Hit 3×3. Designed to evoke the atmosphere of traditional casino floors, the game is set against an easy-going jazz-funk soundtrack that complements its compact 3×3 grid and five fixed paylines.
The game features traditional fruit symbols alongside a 777 Wild that substitutes for all regular icons except for the special Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols. Gameplay centers around two key collection elements: blue Bonus diamonds appearing on reels one and three, and golden Bonus Collect diamonds landing exclusively on the central second reel. When a Bonus Collect symbol lands adjacent to Bonus icons without fully triggering the main bonus, it instantly gathers and pays out their combined values.
Bonus Game and Jackpot Potential
Landing the full combination unlocks the primary Hold & Hit Bonus Game, locking triggering symbols into place while awarding three initial respins. During this feature, only multiplier icons (ranging from x1 to x15 the bet) and jackpot symbols drop onto the grid, with every new symbol resetting the respin counter back to three.
The title incorporates four fixed jackpots accessible during play: the Mini (x25), Minor (x50), Major (x150), and Grand Jackpot (x1,000 the total bet). Additionally, a random Bonus Blast Feature can trigger during base gameplay, scattering extra bonus and collection symbols across the reels to help spark feature entries.
Executive Insights
Omer Henya, Co-CEO at Spinomenal, commented on the launch:
“Crown Strike – Hold & Hit 3×3 combines classic fruit machine nostalgia with a jackpot engine worthy of royalty. A groovy soundtrack sets the pace, while the Bonus Collect mechanic keeps the value stacking as the reels keep turning.”
