Hen Heist: Hold & Win Slot Review

Hen Heist: Hold & Win Slot Overview

Hen Heist: Hold & Win is an iSoftBet video slot set on a farm under alien attack, played on 5 reels and 3 rows with 243 ways to win. Cunning chickens guard their golden eggs while a UFO hovers above the barn. From my sessions, the mix of cartoon animals, sci-fi sound effects and Hold & Win action gives the game a cheeky, fast-paced feel without losing that classic ways slot structure.

The base game alone carries plenty of punch, with bets from 0.20 to 20 and a stated RTP of 96%. It is a high volatility release, so you can expect dry patches broken by sharp bursts of action. On top of the 243 ways, you get Golden Bet for increased modifier frequency, Wild Barn multipliers, Wild Abduction stacked wilds and the quirky Hold & Winfinity Bonus centred on collecting golden eggs.

Hen Heist: Hold & Win Slot Information

Hen Heist: Hold & Win keeps the mechanics straightforward. You spin a 5x3 grid where combinations pay on adjacent reels from left to right using a 243 ways engine, rather than fixed paylines. Each spin is staked with 20 credits, and you simply pick a coin value to set your total bet. Autospin and quickspin options are available, but even at faster settings the rhythm feels controlled rather than frantic.

Hen Heist: Hold & Win Symbols and Paytable

Symbols in Hen Heist: Hold & Win follow a classic split between low and high pays. At the bottom, you have blue spades, green clubs, purple diamonds and red hearts, each paying up to 1.5x the bet for five of a kind. Premiums are the armed farm animals: hen, pig, dog, ram and bull. A full screen of bulls can be very satisfying, as they pay 2x, 5x and 12.5x for three, four and five.

The barn wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, substituting for regular symbols and sometimes carrying a multiplier. There is also a stacked wild pile of eggs that can cover entire reels during the Wild Abduction modifier. Golden egg scatters carry the Bonus label and are the keys to the Hold & Winfinity round; land at least five in view, or have the chicken lay an extra egg, and the special feature kicks in.

Hen Heist: Hold & Win Bonuses & Special Features

Hen Heist: Hold & Win leans heavily on reel modifiers, which keep the base game lively even when the bonus is being stubborn. Golden Bet is an ante option that increases your stake by 50% without touching paytable values, but in exchange you see the modifiers and golden eggs far more often. When I toggle Golden Bet on, the grid feels far more volatile, with stacked wilds and multipliers dropping in clusters.

Three random modifiers can fire on any spin. Wild Barn Multiplier Modifiers attach x2, x3 or x5 values to wilds, and if more than one lands the multipliers add together before applying to wins. Wild Abduction sends a UFO across the middle of the screen, turning reels 2, 3 and 4 into stacked wild reels. Finally, the Chicken or the Egg modifier can drop extra golden egg scatters to edge you closer to the feature.

The Hold & Winfinity Bonus is the highlight. Triggered by five or more golden eggs, it shifts to a hen house with five floors and three reels, each row starting with a 1x multiplier. Eggs carry the value of their row, and filling a horizontal line collects them to the total win basket while raising that row’s multiplier. Up Booster symbols increase multipliers, Collect Booster symbols gather all eggs, and non-UK players can buy this feature for 80x bet.

Hen Heist: Hold & Win RTP, Volatility, And Max Win

From a numbers angle, Hen Heist: Hold & Win runs with a 96% RTP in standard mode, nudging slightly higher when Golden Bet or the Bonus Buy are active. Volatility is on the high side, with long stretches of modest hits offset by the chance of sizeable bursts during stacked wilds or Hold & Winfinity. The stated max win reaches 20,000x bet, so careful bankroll management is vital when chasing those egg-laden screens.

Hen Heist: Hold & Win Our Verdict

After many spins, Hen Heist: Hold & Win strikes me as one of iSoftBet’s more entertaining Hold & Win outings. The humour in the artwork, from weapon-wielding livestock to cheeky UFO animations, lightens what is otherwise a punchy high variance slot. The lack of a conventional free spins bonus is noticeable at first, but the stacked wilds and multiplier wilds in the base game pick up much of that slack.

I would say Hen Heist: Hold & Win suits players who enjoy volatile Hold & Win mechanics with extra twists rather than pure simplicity. The modifiers can feel confusing at first, yet once you have seen a few Hold & Winfinity rounds build multipliers across several rows, the design makes sense. If you approach it with a solid budget and realistic expectations, this farmyard caper can deliver some very satisfying egg collections.
