With their 2021 release, iSoftBet takes you on a trip to the Far East. Pearl Legend: Hold & Win is a 5-reel, 20-payline slot machine. As its title suggests, it is another addition to the developer’s Hold & Win slot series where players can benefit from respins with triggering symbols held in their positions to award instant wins. The fun does not end here because your odds can be enhanced by Reel Boosters during the bonus feature and Pearl Legend Modifiers in the main game. Stay with us to learn how they can help you win up to 8,230x the bet in a single spin.
Pearl Legend: Hold & Win uses a strong Asian theme with the golden reels set in front of a temple. On the left-hand side of the reels, you will see an animated dragon. The reels are home to four high-value symbols represented as the dragon, phoenix, frog and golden coins. The rest of the positions are filled by generic playing card icons. The game also features two special symbols, Yin Yang Wild and Pearl Scatter.
To play the Pearl Legend: Hold & Win slot, you can wager from $0.20 up to $20 per spin. Push the Spin button or activate up to 1,000 automatic spins to get the reels going. You have to place at least 3 matching symbols on a payline left to right to get paid.
The Ying Yang symbol represents the game’s Wild that replaces all regular symbols. In the base game, you can trigger Pearl Legend Modifiers at random on any spin. They can turn between 3 and 5 symbols into Wilds, transforms random symbols into Pearl icons or upgrade low-value symbols into high-paying ones.
Land 5 Pearl icons anywhere in view and you will activate the Hold and Win feature called Pearl Legend Respins. Triggering symbols will be kept in their positions during 3 respins awarded initially. Within the feature, only Pearl icons and Reel Booster symbols appear on the reels. While Pearl symbols carry instant wins of up to 1,250x the bet, Reel Boosters award modifiers. Both symbols reset the number of respins to 3.
As for modifiers within respins, you can benefit from extra rows, the increased value of Pearl symbols on the grid, extra respins and up to 10x multipliers. To trigger any of them, you need to collect 3 gems of the same kind. You can activate each modifier up to three times.
Hold & Win is a bonus feature we have seen in other iSoftBet slots. Still, in Pearl Legend: Hold & Win, the bonus feature is highly exciting thanks to modifiers that can improve your odds and help you win big. If you get lucky and activate the modifiers available in the base game, they will keep you entertained as well. Although the theme and structure of the slot are pretty standard, the bonus features can take the gameplay to the next level and boost your winnings. The iSoftBet title is a medium variance slot with an RTP of 96% which promises balanced gameplay.
