Frontier Falcon: Hold 'N' Link

Frontier Falcon: Hold 'N' Link Overview

Frontier Falcon: Hold 'N' Link is a Wild West nature slot from NetGame. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 25 fixed paylines, and combines free spins with a giant 3x3 symbol, a Hold 'N' Link bonus with cash spheres and three fixed jackpots.

NetGame’s own game data lists an RTP of 96.16%, medium volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x the bet, with a release date of 5 July 2024; SlotCatalog gives 9 July. The numbers below come from our own demo session, played at bets of 20 FUN and 10 FUN.

Eagles, Horses and Bears

The reels sit inside a carved wooden frame against a purple mountain sky. The premium symbols are frontier animals – a bald eagle, a black horse, a grizzly bear, a moose and a bighorn ram – and the low symbols are the letters A, K, Q and J, decorated with feathers and beads. Three jackpot plaques run along the top of the screen: GRAND, MINOR and MINI.

The Story Behind the Reels

NetGame describes the game as a journey that “blends the spirit of the Wild West with the majestic beauty of nature”, and it asks the player whether they will “soar high like a falcon, or run wild like a stallion”. The symbol set follows that idea closely: every premium symbol is a North American animal, and even the low letters carry feathers, beads and small bone charms, as if they were hung from a trapper’s belt.

The official symbol list is short and tidy: one Scatter, one cash sphere, one Wild, four high symbols and four low ones. That keeps the paytable easy to learn, and it leaves the screen space to the features.

The Paytable

The eagle is also the wild. It substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter and the cash spheres, and it pays 100 for five in the paytable – ten times the bear, which pays 10. The moose, the horse and the ram pay 5 for five, and the letters pay 1.50. The scale shows that the wild line is by far the most valuable win on the reels.

In our first capture a stack of three eagle wilds on reel 2 linked several lines for a win of 42.00 at a 20 FUN bet, or 2.1x. The base game at that stake moved the balance gently: it read 738.00 in the first capture and 668.00 when the Scatters arrived, a pattern that fits the game’s medium volatility – small line wins between the features rather than long silent runs followed by one large hit.

Free Spins with a Giant Symbol

Three Scatters trigger the free spins. In our session they landed on reels 2, 3 and 4, paid 40.00 – 2x the bet – and started a round of 5 free spins. In the free spins the three central reels are joined into one 3x3 big symbol, so a single giant eagle, animal or Scatter covers the middle of the grid.

According to SlotCatalog’s description, the spheres can land in the base game, in the free spins and inside the Hold 'N' Link bonus itself, so every mode of the game feeds the same collection. The cash spheres kept landing during our free spins. On the third of five spins a giant Scatter filled the centre while spheres worth 120, 140 and 60 sat on the fifth reel, and the round had reached 390.00 at that point.

The Hold 'N' Link Bonus

Collecting six or more spheres starts the Hold 'N' Link bonus. The spheres lock in place, carry cash values of up to 9x the bet or a Mini or Minor jackpot, and filling all 15 positions awards the Grand jackpot. The jackpots are fixed multiples of the bet: MINI 10x, MINOR 50x and GRAND 2,000x – 200, 1,000 and 40,000 at a 20 FUN bet, and exactly half that at 10 FUN.

Our bonus, triggered inside a free spins round at 10 FUN, produced a giant sphere worth 360.00 in the centre, with 50, 10, 10 and 80 on the outer reels. The spheres added up to 510.00, or 51x the bet.

Jackpots at Every Bet

The three plaques at the top change with the stake, so the jackpots are always easy to translate into multiples of the bet. At 20 FUN the screen showed GRAND 40,000.00, MINOR 1,000.00 and MINI 200.00. After we lowered the stake to 10 FUN, the same plaques read 20,000.00, 500.00 and 100.00. The Grand is the prize for a full screen of spheres in the Hold 'N' Link bonus, and at 2,000x it is less than half of the game’s 5,000x ceiling, so the biggest results have to combine the jackpot with other wins.

Lines and Rules

The paytable draws all 25 lines on a small 5x3 dot grid. Wins pay from left to right along a line, only the highest win on each line is paid, and the paytable closes with the usual note that malfunctions void all pays and plays. It also confirms that both the free spins and the Hold 'N' Link bonus can be activated through the Buy Bonus menu, and it lists the free spins under the name Big Spin Feature.

Buy Bonus

The Buy Bonus menu offers both features directly. At a 10 FUN bet, 5 free spins with the big symbol cost 850.00 (85x), and a spin that is guaranteed to start the Hold 'N' Link bonus costs 550.00 (55x).

We bought the free spins, and the balance dropped from 1,082 to 232. The Hold 'N' Link bonus landed during the round, and on the last free spin a giant eagle wild covered the centre of the grid and linked line after line across the reels. The round closed at 1,065.00 – 106.5x the bet, and more than the 850 it cost.

The Numbers to Keep in Mind

A 96.16% return is in line with the market average, and the 5,000x ceiling is high for a 25-line game with medium volatility. NetGame puts the hit frequency at 28.6%, with a feature about once every 105 spins and a big win about once every 157 spins.

NetGame also lists a maximum exposure of 250,000 EUR. With bets from 0.20 to 100 in SlotCatalog’s listing, the game covers both small and large budgets.

Who Should Play It

Frontier Falcon suits players who like Hold 'N' Link games with a second feature on top. The giant 3x3 symbol makes the free spins easy to follow, the jackpots are printed on screen for every bet, and the Buy Bonus menu lets impatient players go straight to the part they prefer.
