Moon Spirit Slot Review

Moon Spirit: Hold & Win Slot Information

Moon Spirit: Hold & Win drops you straight onto the American prairie with a very spiritual vibe, cartoon style graphics and two towering totem poles framing the reels. I like how relaxed it feels at first glance, yet underneath sits a fairly bumpy ride as the medium volatility and Hold & Win mechanic kick in. The full moon, wolves and dreamcatchers tie everything together into a coherent, slightly mysterious package.

The setup in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win is a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win, so wins land when three or more matching symbols hit on adjacent reels from the left. Stakes range from 0.30 up to 30 per spin, which suits most bankrolls I run. The maths brings a 96.00% RTP, hit frequency around 24.7% and a max win of 6480x your bet.

Symbols and Paytable in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win

The paytable in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win starts with 10, J, Q, K and A as the low paying symbols, then steps up through a deer, an eagle, a bear, a woman and a man as the premiums. The howling wolf acts as the wild symbol on the middle reels, dreamcatchers act as prize symbols during the feature and a full moon emblem marked Moon Spirit works as the scatter trigger.

From my sessions with Moon Spirit: Hold & Win, the high paying symbols can reach between roughly 2.33 and 13.33 times your stake for five of a kind, before any multipliers. That might not sound huge, but once a wild or two joins in, regular line hits can repair a balance that has been eaten by dead spins. All jackpots and big cash prizes come through the special dreamcatcher feature.

Wild Multiplier in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win

The wild multiplier in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win is a howling wolf that only lands on reels two, three and four, one per reel, and every time it lands it carries a 2x multiplier. When two or three wolves connect in the same win, their values multiply together for up to 8x. The wild has no direct payout, but in practice I found it often salvaged otherwise weak spins.

Mystery Spin in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win

The Moon Mystery Spin feature in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win can trigger randomly during the base game and drops stacked mystery symbols over several reels. When the reels stop, every mystery stack turns into the same regular symbol, which can cover large sections of the 5x3 grid. If the symbol chosen is a premium and a wild wolf sneaks into the mix, you suddenly have a serious win on your hands.

On paper the Mystery Spin in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win has a hit rate of roughly one in 238 spins, and that matches how rarely I saw it land. Most of the time you grind away with the odd wild helping out, then a rare mystery screen finally arrives and either disappoints or throws in a chunky base game payout that feels very welcome after a dry spell.

Hold & Win Respins in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win

The Hold & Win Respins in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win start when five or more Moon Spirit scatters land anywhere in view. Each scatter turns into a sticky dreamcatcher symbol and you move to a new grid that begins with three respins. Every time at least one new dreamcatcher lands, it sticks to the reels and your respin count resets back to three, keeping the feature alive for another round.

The round in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win finishes when you run out of respins or the grid fills with dreamcatchers, and only then do you see what everything is worth. During the feature the dreamcatcher symbols sit with hidden values, which creates a nice build up as the screen fills. When the Spirit Wind finally blows across the grid and reveals the totals, you either breathe a sigh of relief or just sigh.

From a session point of view, the Hold & Win Respins in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win did not trigger that often for me, with a stated hit rate of around one in 198 spins. I had long stretches of nothing but small wild wins, then one bonus that climbed nicely as dreamcatchers upgraded each other. It never felt impossible to hit, yet you do need patience and a bankroll that can handle dry patches.

Dreamcatchers in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win

The dreamcatchers in Moon Spirit: Hold & Win come in three levels that upgrade whenever a new one lands next to an existing symbol horizontally or vertically. Level 1 dreamcatchers are green and carry 1x to 5x prizes or a Mini jackpot worth 10x your stake. Level 2 purple symbols hold 6x to 20x or a 100x Major, while Level 3 red or yellow ones show 25x to 250x or the 1000x Grand.

Moon Spirit: Hold & Win Slot Review Summary

As a regular player, I see Moon Spirit: Hold & Win as a solid yet not spectacular Hold & Win slot. The cartoon style visuals work nicely, the spiritual theme feels consistent and the wolf wilds with their multipliers rarely feel wasted. Most of the excitement sits in the dreamcatcher upgrades during the bonus, where chains of adjacent symbols suddenly push whole groups into higher levels and the suspense ramps up quickly.

On the downside, Moon Spirit: Hold & Win recycles a well used mechanic and the 1000x Grand jackpot is not huge compared to some Hold & Win titles, even though the overall 6480x potential is decent. Medium volatility means you can get runs of dead spins between the bigger moments. For me it is an enjoyable choice when I fancy a spiritual theme and a bit of slow burning feature build up.
