History and Evolution

The Coin Strike: Hold and Win game was developed by XYZ Slots, an up-and-coming casino game creator known for blending slots and puzzle games. Their games aim to provide an extra level of skill and engagement beyond just pressing a spin button. Coin Strike builds upon popular locking symbol features seen in other slots while adding a match-3 element. Players must actively choose where to place special coin icons to line up winning combinations across paylines. This concept originated from classic arcade games like Columns and Puzzle Bobble where players eliminate colored bubbles to progress. Over the years, the Coin Strike series has expanded to include sequels like Coin Strike: Pyramids and Coin Strike: Treasures of Asia. The franchise continues to innovate the match-3 slot genre and provide players with a truly unique gaming experience.

Gameplay Mechanics

Coin Strike: Hold and Win is played across a 5×3 reel set with 25 paylines. The main gameplay mechanic involves coin symbols that can be held in place for subsequent spins. On each spin, a random number of coin icons appear on the reels. The player chooses where to lock each coin in place. All other symbols then respin while held coins remain fixed. The goal is to strategically locate coins to complete winning element combinations across paylines. Matches of 3 or more identical symbols result in a payout based on the symbol value. Players can also win free respins and multiplier bonuses. With skillful use of held coins across multiple spins, players maximize their winning potential with each round. Completing more icon matches equals bigger coin payouts!
