Spider Circus Hold and Win

Spider Circus Hold and Win is a Halloween-flavoured carnival slot from BGaming, released on 19 October 2026. A spider in a top hat, called Sir Quintus in the rules, runs a creepy travelling circus where the usual fruit symbols have turned into snarling zombies. The game plays on 5 reels and 4 rows with 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 paylines that you choose yourself, with 60 selected by default. The RTP is 97.00%, the volatility is medium and the maximum win is 5,000x the bet. Expanding wilds, a pay-anywhere scatter and a Hold and Win bonus with a Wheel of Fortune make up the action.

A Fairground After Dark

The reels sit in front of a red velvet stage curtain, with a purple big top and a grinning clown face looming in the background. The jackpot panels for Mini, Minor, Major and Grand glow above the grid in green, blue, purple and red, and a column of round line buttons stands on the right side. Spider symbols already appear in the base game, framed in red boxes with a cash value, so you always see where the bonus could come from. The tone is spooky but cartoonish, and the fruit faces are drawn with a lot of humour.

Choosing Your Lines

Instead of fixed lines, a switcher next to the reels lets you pick 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 win lines. More lines raise the minimum bet, and the number can be changed before every spin. When a win lands, glowing webs draw each winning line across the reels, and with 100 lines active the whole grid turns into a dense red lattice. In the demo, a 6.00 EUR stake at 60 lines and a 10.00 EUR stake at 100 lines both ran smoothly, and the line count is shown on the chosen button.

Zombie Fruit Paytable

Wins pay for matching symbols on a line from the left, and the paytable has eight regular symbols. The leader is the snarling orange pumpkin. Next come the purple eggplant and the red pepper, followed by the green broccoli. The lower group is made of a second, screaming pumpkin, purple grapes, a pair of cherries in witch hats and the green watermelon. Typical wins in the demo were small and frequent: a cherry combination paid 5.00 EUR, eggplants with a Wild returned 27.00 EUR and watermelons with a Wild gave 24.50 EUR with a 6.00 EUR stake.

Wild And Scatter

The red 7 Wild sits on a spider web and substitutes for every symbol except the Scatters and the Spiders. When a Wild on reels 2, 3 or 4 is part of a winning combination, it expands to cover the entire reel, which can bring several winning lines at once. Two expanded Wilds side by side produced a 65.00 EUR win in the demo, and one expanded reel together with broccoli faces gave 46.50 EUR.

The Scatter is a clown in a purple top hat. It pays anywhere on the screen: three or more are enough, and five Scatters make the biggest payment in the paytable. Three Scatters landed in a 6.00 EUR spin and paid 18.00 EUR without the need for a payline.

How Hold and Win Starts

The main feature is the Hold and Win bonus game, which works like the classic Hold and Spin style respin round. It starts when 6 or more Spider symbols land on the reels. Each Spider carries a cash value, and the screen announces the start with a banner reading “You have won Hold and Win bonus with multipliers”, followed by the multiplier symbols (x4, x3 and x5) that drop onto the grid.

The round gives you 3 respins and only Spider symbols can land. Every Spider, including the ones that started the bonus, stays on the reels until the end. Each time a new Spider appears, the respin counter resets to 3, so a lucky streak can keep the round alive for a long time. The bonus ends when the respins run out, when all the positions are filled or when the maximum win is reached, and you receive the total value of all the Spiders on the reels.

Jackpots And The Wheel Of Fortune

Four prize symbols can land during the bonus: Mini (10x), Minor (25x), Major (100x) and Grand (500x) the total bet. They are the same four panels shown above the reels, so the jackpot values scale with the stake. At a 6.00 EUR bet they read 60, 150, 600 and 3,000.

On the right side of the bonus screen stands a striped pole with three markers at 10, 15 and 20 Spiders. Each time one of these numbers is reached, the last symbol to land turns into a Wheel of Fortune. The wheel spins and changes into one of the following:

• a Spider symbol, as it was before the transformation;
• a Spider with a randomly increased value;
• a Prize symbol (Mini, Minor, Major or Grand);
• a Collect symbol;
• a Multiplier symbol.

In the demo bonus round at 10.00 EUR the grid filled with cash spiders worth 30, 50, 100 and 150 EUR, two multiplier symbols (x4 and x5) sat next to them, and a wheel with Mini, Collect and cash sections opened on the screen at the end.

RTP, Volatility And Max Win

The RTP of Spider Circus Hold and Win is 97.00%. The volatility is medium, so the base game pays at a steady pace and the bonus brings the larger swings. The maximum win is 5,000x the bet, and the game shows this figure on the screen before the first spin. Because the Spider symbols appear on the reels in the base game too, there is almost always something to watch even without a bonus on the way.

Who Will Enjoy It

This slot suits players who like Halloween and carnival themes with a lighter, humorous look, as well as fans of Hold and Win mechanics who prefer a medium volatility and a high RTP to an extreme top prize. The adjustable line count lets you set the cost of each spin, and the 4-tier jackpot with a wheel upgrade keeps the bonus round interesting until the last respin.
