Pragmatic Play launches Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin with 10,000x win potential

• Pragmatic Play has released Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin, a retro-styled slot featuring a neon aesthetic and classic Joker theme.
• The game includes a Hold & Spin bonus feature triggered by money symbols, each offering prizes up to 5,000x.
• Players can win up to 10,000x their stake when filling the entire grid with money symbols during the bonus round.

Pragmatic Play has begun 2026 with the release of Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin, a vintage-themed slot machine combining classic symbols with modern mechanics. The Gibraltar-based software provider launched the game on 5th January.

The 5×3 slot features traditional jester imagery, including lutes and juggling pins, set against a vibrant neon backdrop. Base game wins reach up to 1,000x when players land between three and five matching symbols on a payline.

Hold & Spin mechanic drives bonus potential

The game’s central feature activates when three or more money symbols appear on the reels. Each money symbol carries a cash prize value of up to 5,000x the player’s stake.

Once triggered, the Hold & Spin bonus game awards three respins. The respin counter resets each time an additional money symbol lands on the grid. When respins conclude, all accumulated cash prizes are collected and paid out.

The maximum 10,000x win becomes available when players fill all positions on the grid with money symbols during the bonus round.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said:

“Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin provides a fresh take on a vintage theme, offering classic slots action enhanced by the popular Hold & Spin mechanic and a 10,000x max win.”
