Spinomenal has reimagined its hit title with the launch of Baba Yaga Tales – Hold & Hit, a supernatural-themed slot steeped in eerie Slavic folklore. This new iteration invites players into a shadowy realm dominated by the legendary witch Baba Yaga, where the haunted forest backdrop, swirling mist, and mystical symbols set the stage for suspense-filled gameplay.
A Dark Forest Awaits in This Folklore-Inspired Adventure
Encased in a frame of twisted branches and occult emblems, the reels are filled with thematic icons including Baba Yaga herself, her crooked woodland cottage, and a blazing phoenix. As the atmosphere intensifies, players are drawn into a supernatural experience where every spin deepens the mystery.
Colossus Symbols and Free Spins Fuel the Suspense
The base game revolves around the pursuit of the elusive Blue Moon Scatter symbols, which appear only on reels 1, 3, and 5. Landing three of these triggers the Free Spins feature, awarding players with three spins and a payout equal to three times the total wager.
Once Free Spins are activated, the game shifts dramatically. Symbols can randomly become colossal 3x3 icons stretching across the central reels—2, 3, and 4. Only colossal Scatter symbols can trigger additional features. If a Free Spins Colossus symbol lands, players receive an extra three Free Spins and a payout worth triple their total bet.
Unlock the Bonus Game with Hold & Hit Mechanics
The highlight of the new version is the Hold & Hit feature. Triggered by landing six Scatter bonus symbols, this mode keeps all triggering icons locked in place as the bonus round begins. Players receive three spins to try and fill all 15 reel positions with new symbols. Each time a new symbol appears, the spin counter resets.
The Hold & Hit feature offers a wide range of rewards. Symbols can award multipliers from 1x to 10x the bet. Additionally, players may land jackpots: the Mini Jackpot grants 25x the total wager, the Major Jackpot yields 50x, and the Mega Jackpot delivers a 250x payout. The ultimate prize—awarded to those who fill every spot—is the Grand Jackpot, offering a massive 5000x the total bet.
Revisiting Baba Yaga Through a New Lens
Omer Henya, Co-CEO of Spinomenal, emphasized the enduring appeal of the title’s central figure: “The lure of Baba Yaga has always been powerful, and now players can experience the iconic title with our Hold & Hit feature. Players will love returning to the heart of Slavic folklore — where every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown.”
By integrating atmospheric design, innovative mechanics, and familiar mythos, Baba Yaga Tales – Hold & Hit positions itself as both a fresh chapter and a fitting homage to its predecessor, delivering mystery, intensity, and potentially huge wins for players eager to explore the unknown.
