Playson adds Expand, Double and Extra features in 3 Roaring Bells: Hold and Win

Playson has released 3 Roaring Bells: Hold and Win, a new slot that pairs a nostalgic bell theme with its Hold and Win Bonus Game and three new bonus features. The game was announced on 15 October 2026.

Multi-coloured Bells that land in the main game are collected by matching Bells above the reels. When one or more Special Bells land, the Bonus Game can trigger with one or more of three features.

The three Special Bell features

• Expand (red Bell): adds two extra rows to the game field.
• Double (green Bell): marks four cells, and any symbol that lands in them has its value doubled. With Expand active, six cells are marked.
• Extra (blue Bell): when the Bonus Game ends, a new round starts straight away, keeping any features that were active at the start of the previous round.

How the Bonus Game works

• Respins: the round starts with three respins, and every Bell symbol that lands resets the count to three.
• Collect symbols: these can land on the middle reel, hold their place for the rest of the round and collect the value of later Bell symbols, up to 8x.
• Jackpots: Jackpot symbols can award the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot, worth up to 1,000x.
• Extra Bonus Feature: any Bell symbol in the main game can also add enough Bonus and Collect symbols to start the Bonus Game.
• Bonus buy: players can buy a standard Bonus Game or a Super Bonus Game at 200x, which guarantees all three Special Bell features.

What they said

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said:

“3 Roaring Bells: Hold and Win gives us another opportunity to evolve a familiar formula by introducing features that can change the shape of the Bonus Game in different ways.

“Expand, Double and Extra each bring their own character, from opening up additional space on the grid to enhancing Bell values and extending the action into another round. Combined with the nostalgic theme and returning Hold and Win mechanic, we have created a title that feels familiar while offering plenty of new elements to discover.”

Gamitas view

Hold and Win sits at the centre of Playson's portfolio, and this release follows its usual approach: keep the familiar mechanic and add features that change how each bonus round plays. The 200x Super Bonus, which guarantees all three features, gives players in markets that allow bonus buys a direct route to the full version of the round.

Playson says it operates in 29 regulated markets with more than 200 partners. Its Gamitas profile covers its licences and products, and operators can compare game providers on Gamitas.
