Spinomenal has introduced a new seasonal title, The North Star Express – Hold & Hit 3x3, presenting a holiday-focused online slot designed to capture the spirit of winter celebrations. The game launches with a snowy setting and a soundtrack built around cheerful seasonal themes, pairing visuals and audio to create a consistently light atmosphere.
“The North Star Express – Hold & Hit 3x3 arrives at the perfect time to deliver a fun, festive game for the holiday season. This new title brings joy and festive spirit in equal measure, giving players a ticket to ride the reels in search of jackpots and more,” said Spinomenal CO-CEO Omer Henya.
Holiday-Themed Gameplay and Core Mechanics
The North Star Express, an eye-catching addition to Spinomenal’s fast-expanding content portfolio, places an ornate golden pocket watch in the role of the Wild. It replaces every regular symbol other than the Bonus and Bonus Collect icons. The game uses two special symbols with set reel placements. Bonus symbols can land on the first and third reels, while Bonus Collect appears only in the middle position.
A session of the Bonus Game begins when a Bonus Collect symbol coincides with at least one Bonus symbol. Any symbols that trigger this shift stay in position during the move into the separate mode, which starts with three spins.
From that point onward, the reels display only Bonus or Bonus Collect symbols. Multipliers available during this stage span x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15. Players also have chances to encounter in-game jackpots.
When a Bonus symbol appears in the feature, the game gathers its value into every active Bonus Collect icon, then removes the Bonus symbol from the grid. Either type of symbol resets the spin count to three. The feature ends once three spins pass with no new symbol or when the total reaches the x5,000 multiplier. The game includes Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini jackpot symbols, each tied to its own reward tier.
The title can also trigger the Bonus Blast Feature. This sequence drops extra Bonus and Bonus Collect icons at random moments, increasing the likelihood of entering the Bonus Game. If a Bonus Collect symbol lands with one or more Bonus symbols—including jackpot symbols—but the special round does not start, it still gathers those values and adds the total to the payout.
Expansion of Mythology Series With Mega Zeus Hold & Hit 3x3
Alongside its winter release, Spinomenal has added another game to its Mythology line: Mega Zeus Hold & Hit 3x3. This title centers on the realm of Zeus, positioned above the reels as part of the visual framing. The game uses the temple of the gods as the Wild, which substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus and Bonus Collect icons.
Like North Star Express, Bonus symbols appear only on reels one and three, while the Bonus Collect icon lands only on the center reel. When all appear together, they trigger the Bonus Game, carrying their positions into a three-spin feature containing only Bonus and Bonus Collect icons.
Multipliers from x1 to x15 and jackpot symbols can land. Each Bonus symbol adds its value to every Bonus Collect icon, then disappears, and each hit resets spins to three. The round ends after three dead spins or at x5000.
A Bonus Blast can drop extra symbols, and Bonus Collect can absorb values even outside the feature.
