Money Hive: Hold 'n' Link

Money Hive: Hold 'n' Link Overview

Money Hive: Hold 'n' Link is a fruit slot from NetGame with a honey-and-sunflower theme. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 25 fixed paylines, and mixes classic fruit symbols with honey jars that carry cash prizes into the Hold 'n' Link bonus.

Symbols

The reels hold watermelons, plums, oranges, lemons, cherries, bells and a red 7. The sunflower marked Money Hive is the scatter and pays in any position. The Wild is a golden star that covers the whole reel when it lands. A honeycomb Bonus symbol opens a pick’em game, and the honey jars show either a cash value or a jackpot name.

Our Base-Game Wins

At a total bet of 10.00, three sunflower scatters paid 20.00 (2x). On another spin an expanded Wild on reel 3 linked several fruit lines for 12.48. A honey jar worth 50.00 landed on reel 1 at the same stake.

The Four Jackpots

The jackpot bar above the reels scales with the bet. At 1.00 it reads Mini 40, Minor 200, Major 500, Grand 1,000. At 10.00 it reads 400, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000. The jackpots are therefore fixed at 40x, 200x, 500x and 1,000x the bet, and a green jar marked MINI shows a jackpot can sit on the reels in the base game.

Honey Jar Values

The cash values on the jars scale with the stake like the jackpots do. At a bet of 1.00 a jar showed 2.00 (2x), and at 10.00 a jar showed 50.00 (5x). The jar colours tell the two kinds apart: yellow jars carry cash and green jars carry a jackpot name.

Hold 'n' Link

Enough honey jars start the Hold 'n' Link round. SlotCatalog describes it as a classic hold-and-win feature with 3 respins that reset whenever a new jar lands. At the end each jar pays its cash value or its jackpot.
