3 Oaks Gaming launches Lord of Thunder: Hold and Win 3×5 slot

• 3 Oaks Gaming has released Lord of Thunder: Hold and Win 3×5, combining classic fruit gameplay with lightning-themed Hold and Win mechanics.
• The game features Collect symbols that gather Coin Bonus values, alongside random Lord of Thunder activations that add extra symbols.
• Players can trigger a Hold & Win Bonus round with locked Collect symbols and potential jackpot rewards through the Coin Metre mechanic.

3 Oaks Gaming has expanded its Hold and Win portfolio with the release of Lord of Thunder: Hold and Win 3×5, a slot game that blends retro fruit aesthetics with electric-themed bonus features.

Lightning-powered Collect mechanic drives core gameplay

The game centres on a Collect symbol that appears on the middle reel and accumulates all visible Coin Bonus values displayed across the reels. These values include fixed Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots.

The Lord of Thunder feature can trigger randomly during any Collect mechanic activation. When activated, lightning bolts strike the reels, adding either Collect symbols or Bonus symbols to the grid, increasing the total win potential for that spin.

Hold & Win Bonus round offers extended play with locked symbols

Players access the Hold & Win Bonus round when a Collect symbol lands simultaneously with Bonus symbols on the outer reels. This triggers a sequence of respins where up to five Collect symbols can lock into position, gathering all visible values throughout the entire bonus round.

During the Hold & Win Bonus, the Lord of Thunder may strike again at any point, delivering an additional Collect symbol or a Jackpot symbol. When Jackpot symbols appear, they provide extra Bonus symbols that extend the respin sequence and enhance overall performance.

Coin Metre mechanic provides alternative bonus entry

The Coin Metre offers an alternative pathway into the Bonus round. This mechanic can award additional Collect and Bonus symbols at the start of the round, giving players an enhanced starting position before the feature begins.

The game combines its retro visual style with electric reel effects and a high-energy Hold & Win framework, positioning it as a feature-rich addition to the 3 Oaks Gaming catalogue.

Viktoriia Vashukevych, Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said:

“Lord of Thunder: Hold and Win 3×5 showcases our continued commitment to producing high-impact, feature-driven Hold & Win content. Its blend of Collect mechanics, lightning-triggered boosts, and jackpot potential creates a strong, well-rounded experience that we believe will resonate across a wide range of markets.”

The release strengthens 3 Oaks Gaming’s position as a distributor of slot content for regulated markets globally. The company’s portfolio emphasises Hold and Win mechanics combined with distinctive graphical styles designed to appeal to local player preferences across different territories.

Lord of Thunder: Hold and Win 3×5 offers operators a visually distinctive game with multiple feature layers, targeting players who favour classic fruit themes enhanced by modern bonus structures.

The combination of random feature triggers, locked symbols, and jackpot potential creates varied gameplay sequences designed to maintain player engagement through extended sessions.
