How the respin sequence works

The format runs on a trigger. Once enough special symbols land, the remaining positions respin while those symbols hold, and each new symbol usually resets the respin counter. The sequence ends when the counter runs out or the grid fills.

That structure concentrates outcomes into short bursts, so long stretches of ordinary spins are normal. The rules screen describes the trigger condition in plain language, including how many symbols are needed.

Three prize types on one screen

Values on held symbols are not interchangeable. A fixed amount pays what it says. A stake-linked value moves with the bet you chose. A jackpot label points to a separate pot with its own eligibility rules.

Read all three on the paytable, then choose the stake. Working the other way round is how players end up ineligible for the prize they were aiming at.

Stake level and eligibility

Some lock-and-respin titles tie the top prize tier to a minimum bet. Others pay every tier at every stake. Both designs exist, and only the rules screen for the version you opened says which one is in front of you.

Set the stake once, from the budget you brought, and check whether changing it mid-session alters eligibility. Mid-session changes are the quiet way a plan stops matching the paytable.

Playing it with bonus money

Bonus terms can cap the stake while wagering runs, and a title whose top tier needs a higher minimum bet may sit above that cap. Compare the active bonus card with the paytable before committing bonus funds.

Contribution rate is the second check. If the category counts at a reduced rate, the same turnover takes longer and the session needs more balance to survive it.

Confirming the edition in the live lobby

Type the full title into lobby search, including the number. Series names repeat across editions: the Hold and Win branding is associated with Playson, while other studios publish lock-and-respin formats under similar names.

If the exact edition is missing, the closest match is another lock-and-respin title rather than another dragon theme. Theme is artwork; format decides how the money moves.

Note the full title you opened. It shortens any later support question about a round, a jackpot tier or a bonus balance.
