Characteristics and symbols

Parameter table

The main jackpot of Colossus in the bonus game is 10,000x, but with optimal combinations of multipliers and functions, the total win can reach 26,305x.

Bonus functions and unique mechanics

• Hold & Win Respins: activates when 6 or more cash symbols (Cash or Jackpot) land. Barabans fixate, and 3 respins are given. Each new symbol adds to the respin counter. The goal is to fill the entire field.
• Jackpots: in the bonus game, three levels are available:
  • Minor — 50x.
  • Major — 500x.
  • Colossus — 10,000x.
• Expanding Wild with multiplier: appears on reels 2-5, replaces all symbols, and carries a random multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10. Can expand across the entire reel.
• Colossus Rising Flame: in the time of the base game, it can activate the multiplier on Wild.
• The absence of traditional free spins — the feature is fully implemented in Hold & Win.
• Bonus Buy (if allowed in the jurisdiction): purchase of a bonus for 100x the bet.

Expert opinions and recommendations

Colossus Hold & Win — this is a slot for patient players, ready for long 'waits' for potentially colossal wins.

Recommended

• Use low stakes (€0.20–€0.50) to extend the gaming session.
• Do not get stuck on the free spins — they are not there; instead, focus on collecting cash symbols.
• With the presence of the Buy Bonus option — calculate ROI: the entry cost is high, but the chances of hitting the jackpot increase instantly.
