How to Play Golden Pinata Hold and Win (BGaming)

Golden Pinata Hold and Win has the simplest possible rules: a piñata llama hangs in the center of the playing field. The player needs to click on the piñata to hit it. Each hit = 1 bet. There is a chance that when you hit the piñata or give a multiplier, or crashes and throws 2 special symbols. The first one will start the Hold And Win bonus round, the second one will give free hits (analog of free spins in pokies). The player can choose the "tool" to hit - a baseball bat, golf club, or a special bat for the piñata. The rules of the game are not affected by the "tool".

The betting range is 0.10-45.00 in the currency that the casino has set as the main currency. The maximum possible winnings from 1 bet is just over x5000 (if you are lucky enough to catch the jackpot).

The following symbols can be seen in Golden Pinata Hold and Win:

• Coin. Can fall out of the piñata when struck. It activates and participates in the Hold And Win bonus round. A random multiplier is written on the coin. It can be x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x12, x14, x16, x18 or x20.

• Horseshoe. If the piñata throws it away, the Free Hits round (10 free hits) will start.

• Collect (purple circle with gold frame). Can only appear in a Hold And Win round. It collects and pays out values from the Coin symbols that are on the field at the moment, and then turns into a Coin with a random multiplier. That is, for a Hold And Win round, the player will first receive a payout with Collect, and then another payout at the end of the round.

• Fireworks (Plus Spin). Can only appear in a Hold And Win round and add +1 spin.

Bonus games

There are 2 bonus features added to the game:

• Free Hits. This is analogous to free spins in pokies. The 10 Free Hits will automatically trigger if the Horseshoe symbol falls out of the piñata. Launch Free Hits can also be purchased for x50 of the bet.

• Hold And Win. Bonus round with a guaranteed payout and a chance to catch the jackpot. Starts automatically when the Coin symbol falls out of the piñata. The round has a field of 15 cells. The player has 6 free spins. In each spin, there is a chance that a Coin symbol will fall on a free cell with a random multiplier. If this happens, the Coin remains on its cell until the end of the round. Also in the round may fall symbols Fireworks (adds +1 spin) and Collect (will immediately pay the amount of multipliers that are currently on the field). If by the end of the round all 15 cells will be filled - the gambler will receive the amount of multipliers on the field + jackpot x5000. If there are empty cells left, the gambler will receive only the sum of multipliers. The round start can also be bought for x40 of the bet.

In Golden Pinata Hold and Win there is a chance to catch a jackpot of x5000 of the bet. This will be paid out if all 15 cells of the field are filled with coins in the Hold And Win round.

RTP, Volatility & Hit Frequency

The size of the RTP in Golden Pinata Hold and Win depends on the game mode. In the Simple game (when hitting) it is 96.14%. When you start Free Hits, the return gets a bit worse - up to 96.01%. And in the Hold And Win round the RTP is 95.91%.

Strategy: How to Win

In Golden Pinata Hold and Win, all hits on the piñata are randomized. There are no regularities in the gameplay, everything is influenced only by random. That's why it's impossible to come up with a strategy that will help you win. But it is better to play at the minimum bet to stretch your deposit for a large number of hits.

Interface

I liked the interface in Golden Pinata Hold and Win - it's designed in a festive, modern and logical way. A piñata llama swings in the center of the window. Underneath it is a bat that you need to hit the piñata with. In the upper right corner, the current jackpot size is displayed, depending on what bet the gambler has chosen. To the left of the piñata is a button to buy 10 free beats, and to the right is a button to start the Hold And Win round for a fee. In the bottom left corner of the window, you can select the tool to hit (the odds are not affected). Along the bottom border of the window on a purple background there are a few more interface elements: balance, i (rules description) and gear (settings) buttons, a block for changing the bet, and in the right half - a button for hitting and for autoplay. You can also hit the piñata by pressing the bat on the screen, and on the computer - also by pressing the Spacebar button on the keyboard. Here are a few recommendations for those who first launched Golden Pinata Hold and Win:

1. First, evaluate the design - not everyone likes bright colors. In my opinion, everything is drawn nice and neat.

2. Learn the interface. It won't cause any difficulties: everything is designed as simple and clear as possible, and it's easy to use both on a computer and on mobile gadgets.

3. Launch the Hold And Win round (button to the right of the piñata) to see what it looks like and how it works.

4. Play Golden Pinata Hold and Win in demo mode to evaluate the gameplay.

Mobile Compatibility

If you open the game from your phone or tablet in any common browser, its lightweight mobile version will load. I tested it working in Chrome and Opera on the Samsung Galaxy 20 and on the iPad Air. On both iOS and Android Golden Pinata Hold and Win worked about the same, I didn't see any problems. It loaded quickly (for about the same amount of time as on a computer), the interface automatically adapted to the size and position of the screen. I didn't see any animation freezes, and all the buttons were easy to use.

Expert's conclusions: Golden Pinata Hold and Win left me with double feelings. On the one hand - the game looks beautiful and has a user-friendly interface. I also liked the bonus round, which is launched frequently - during an hour and a half of playing the demo it happened about 16-17 times (I even forgot how many exactly). But in general the gameplay is very monotonous - during the test I already got bored of playing.
