Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot Slot Features

Flaming Wilds

May appear on any reel and substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning combos.

Sticky to Infinity Symbols

Mystery Symbols and Jackpot Mystery Symbols hold no cash value in the base game, but each comes with a Sticky to Infinity label. Whenever they appear, they will remain locked in place until the Hold the Jackpot Round is triggered - before revealing their prize at the end of the bonus round.

Cash Symbols

These Flaming Sun icons each contain a number representing a cash prize. These prizes have no value in the base game, but Cash Symbols count towards the six Special Symbols required to trigger the Bonus Round.

Hold the Jackpot Bonus

Land six specials of any type (Cash Symbols, Mystery Symbols, or Mystery Jackpot Symbols), and you will feel the temperature rise as you move into the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game.

Don’t despair should you have a near-miss in the base game. Whenever four or five Cash Bonus Symbols land on a single spin, they will become sticky for one spin – granting you a second chance to trigger the round.

The fiery fun of this round utilises the familiar “Hold and Win” mechanic. You will begin with three re-spins, with all special symbols that triggered the round remaining in place. On each spin, the remaining unoccupied positions will reveal either a blank or a special symbol. Land at least one new special symbol, and your re-spins tally will reset to three, but hit only blanks, and you will lose a spin.

Special symbols ALL become sticky during the bonus round and come in the following varieties.

Cash Symbols: These great balls of fire contain a cash prize of 1x-10x, 12x, or 15x.
Collector Symbols: This swirling ball of fire will suck in all cash prizes in view and apply a multiplier of 1x-20x to the total value. These symbols can only appear if revealed by a Mystery or Jackpot Mystery symbol.
Jackpot Symbols: Three varieties of smouldering suns containing one of the following three jackpots:
Mini: 20x
Minor: 50x
Major: 150x
Mystery Symbol: Mysterious Red Gems which will open at the end of the round to reveal a Collector Symbol or a random Cash Symbol.
Jackpot Mystery Symbol: Beautiful Purple Gems which open at the end of the round to reveal a Collector Symbol or one of the three jackpots.

The bonus round will continue until you run out of spins, in which case you will be awarded the combined value of all prizes in view, or you manage to fill all 16 positions with special symbols. Fill the screen in this way, and you will lose all individual prizes, but gain the rather glorious 5000x Golden Jackpot!

Bonus Buy

Players in eligible jurisdictions may wish to skip waiting for the Hold the Jackpot round to trigger via the five Bonus But options. Prices start at 80x for the Standard option and climb up to 1,200x for the Double Extreme Bonus, which comes with three Mystery Jackpot Symbols.

This feature is unavailable to UK players.

Our Verdict: A suitably scorching bonus game. The presence of three possible jackpots is always welcome, with the huge multipliers of the Collector Symbols adding further to the excitement, anticipation, and win potential.

Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.19%	No	Adjustable

At 96.19%, the fixed Return to Player (RTP) percentage of Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot is a nice nudge above the industry-average RTP of 96%.

In the majority of online slots, you simply have to accept the volatility rating on offer. That’s not the case here, thanks to the three-tiered adjustable volatility feature accessed via the Peppers Button. Select one Pepper for the smooth ride of a low-volatility game, three Peppers for a high-volatility rollercoaster ride, or two Peppers for a balance between the two.

Our Verdict: We love the adjustable volatility setting of Wazdan games, with the feature immediately improving the replayability of the slot. The ability to customise the game also extends into the reel speed settings – ranging from the tortoise, for slow coaches, to the panther for those who like things a little more rapid. The above-average RTP of 96.19%, meanwhile, represents solid value for money.

Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

The visuals of the game take you up close and personal with the titular Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot, with the reels almost resting on the surface of our shining star. Oranges, reds, and yellows dominate the colour palette, with the whisps of flame and surface animations bringing life to the scene. The theme of fire and flame extends into the game symbols, all of which blaze brightly against the dark star-studded background.

Burning Sun Hold the Jackpot (Wazdan) 1 — Base game spins

Burning Sun Hold the Jackpot (Wazdan) 2 — Mystery symbol on the reels

Burning Sun Hold the Jackpot (Wazdan) 3 — Big bonus round win

Audio

Filled with pulsing bass and sweepingly ominous synths, the soundtrack accurately interprets a slots space odyssey, bringing a real sense of drama to the experience. The reel effects are more traditional, as they clink, thud, and whoosh in a comfortingly familiar fashion, only moving into a gear which threatens overdrive when a bonus trigger is near, or during the Hold the Jackpot game itself.

Our Verdict: The title is Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot, and the design team certainly haven’t overcomplicated things in bringing that title to life. From the cinematic backdrop to the incandescent symbols, everything truly blazes from the screen which - in a game centred upon the sun - is really all you want.

Burning Sun: Hold the Jackpot Slot on Mobile

Wazdan has ensured that mobile slots fans will have no trouble sizzling their fingers with this release. Fully optimised for the small screen, the graphics, gameplay, and features shine brightly on Windows, iOS, and Android-powered devices.
