Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link is a new casino slot from Stakelogic. The game developer focuses on myths, allure, and the powerful immortal Phoenix bird associated with Greek mythology. The game has several bird symbols, but the most valuable symbols are the wild symbol depicted by a redheaded woman and a golden tree. Phoenix Queen has the Hold ‘N’ Link feature that you might recognize from games like Desert Riches Hold ‘N’ Link; also similar to the Hold&Win feature found in games such as The Magic Orb Hold&Win. Both of these features give the player three spins that can be reset when new symbols hit the reels. In Phoenix Queen, the Hold ‘N’ Link feature can give you a jackpot up to 500X the bet, and a free spins session always follows it.

Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link is a video slot from Stakelogic on a classic casino setup with 5 reels and 3 rows. Players can land wins on 30 paylines, betting from the Min.bet of 0.20 to the Max.bet of 100. The RTP is 96.06%, and the max win is 4752X the bet in this highly volatile game.

When dealing with ancient mythical creatures, it’s clear that you need some magical tools to guide you. The features in Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Hold ‘N’ Link Feature, Cashpots, and Free Spins.

The game is set in a quiet, calm environment with trees full of pink flowers. It is probably dusk or dawn, with a purple sky embracing the trees. The reels are placed on top of the natural background without really blending in. They have golden frames, and the four jackpots are displayed in golden frames on top of the reels. The buttons are very familiar to any Stakelogic player, with the spin button to the right and the rest to the left. To make a win, you’ll need to land at least three of the same symbols on any of the 30 winlines going left to right, starting on the first reel to the left. Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link is available on desktops, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols in this mythological saga are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They all pay the same, giving back 0.25X of the bet for landing 3, and 2.50X the bet for a combination of 5. The higher-paying symbols are three very similar birds in purple, green, and blue, a golden bird, and a golden tree. They pay from 0.50X to 1.25X the bet for landing 3 and 5X-12.50X for a combination of 5. The Wild Symbol is a redheaded woman with a golden tiara. She substitutes all mentioned symbols and also pays on her own, from 1.50X for 3 to 17.50X for a combination of 5. The Wild Symbol doesn’t substitute the Scatter Symbol, which is depicted by a blue round flower containing a multiplier value and the text “free spin”.

What features are available in the slot Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link?

The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Hold ‘N’ Link Feature, Cashpots, and Free Spins.

Wild Symbol

The redheaded woman is as wild as possible, substituting all regular paying symbols but not the Scatter Symbols. She is also the best-paying symbol on her own, paying up to 17.5X the bet for 5 on a payline.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol says “free spins” and also has a multiplier value. Landing six or more Scatter Symbols activates the Hold ‘N’ Link feature and the free spins. The scatter symbols are first used to play the Hold ‘N’ Link that can award the player with the Maxi Cashpot of 500X the bet. When the first feature is over, the player gets the same number of free spins as the number of symbols that landed, between 6 and 15.

This feature usually stands on its own, but it’s just sweet foreplay before the free spins in this game. The feature is triggered whenever you land 6 or more scatter symbols on the grid. The scatter symbols are held in their positions while the other positions on the reels spin. The player gets 3 spins that are reset every time a new scatter symbol lands. The feature is over when the player runs out of spins or all 15 positions are filled with scatter symbols. As soon as the feature is over, the free spins start with as many spins as the number of scatter symbols collected (6-15).

Cashpots

If you land 12 or more scatter symbols in the Hold ‘N’ Link feature, you’re awarded any of the Cashpot prizes.

12 Scatter Symbols = Mini Cashpot 10X the bet.

13 Scatter Symbols = Minor Cashpot 25X the bet.

14 Scatter Symbols = Major Cashpot 50X the bet.

15 Scatter Symbols = Maxi Cashpot 500X the bet.

Free Spins

The Free Spins trigger after the Hold ‘N’ Link feature, no matter if you win a Cashpot or not. You get as many free spins as you collected scatter symbols in the previous feature. Every scatter symbol has a multiplier value starting at 2X, and the symbols are being sorted from the lowest multiplier to the highest. Every free spin is connected to one of the scatter symbols, multiplying any win with its connected multiplier. Hence, you’ll get a better chance of scoring big wins for every free spin since the highest multipliers are kept to the end. Stakelogic hasn’t published any information on how high the multipliers can go. We experienced multipliers between 2X and 20X while playing. The free spins are over when the player runs out of spins.

Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link is a nice-looking colorful slot without anything exceptional. We like the Phoenix theme, but it could have been more prominent. There are analogies of the immortal Phoenix bird in many cultures, and it is thought that the story originates from Ancient Egypt by the Greek historian and geographer Herodotus. The Phoenix bird, who rises from the ashes by being regenerated or reborn, is often seen as a character who doesn’t give up but comes back even after hard times. There isn’t much of that fighting spirit in this slot, though.

Nothing happens in the background of Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link. The game has a picture without any animations in it. The graphics of the reels are more impressive, and the symbols are all cristal sharp and well done. There are also some nice animations on winning lines and in the features. Speaking of features, the Hold ‘N’ Link scatter symbol spins deliver good excitement. The max win of the feature is only 500X the bet, but we have to say that win is pretty good, considering that the free spins always start after the Hold ‘N’ Link. It is also a bonus that the collected scatter symbols depict how many free spins the player gets and how much every win will be multiplied by.

Even if the features are nice, we can’t help but think that they are few, especially since the Hold ‘N’ Link and the free spins are played after each other. Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link is highly volatile, and the max win of 4752X feels alright but could have been higher. The RTP of 96.08% is pretty much average in the slot world, making the game well worth trying out.

Phoenix Queen: Hold ‘N’ Link from Stakelogic has high-paying birds and scatter symbols that trigger free spins and the Hold ‘N’ Link feature that can award Cashpots.
