3x3 Grand Crown: Hold the Spin slot by Gamzix

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

3x3 Grand Crown: Hold the Spin is a compact Gamzix slot: three reels, three rows, five paylines and a hold-and-spin bonus built around a Royal Crown that collects coin prizes. Four fixed jackpots sit beside the reels, from a 25x Mini up to a 1,000x Grand.

We played the free demo, read the full paytable and game rules, and bought the bonus once at a 1.00 bet. The demo plays in FUN credits, so results below are in FUN and as multiples of the bet.

How the game works

The grid is 3x3 with 5 fixed paylines: the three rows and the two diagonals. Wins pay when matching symbols land in succession from the leftmost reel to the rightmost, only the highest win per line is paid, and wins on several lines are added together.

Every line win needs three of a kind. At a 1.00 bet the paytable lists three Wilds at 50.00, three 7s at 30.00, horseshoes at 20.00, and bells or grapes at 16.00. Plums, oranges and lemons pay 4.00 for three, and cherries pay 1.00. Because the paytable was read at a 1.00 bet, those figures are also multiples of the bet.

The diamond Wild can land on any reel in the main game and substitutes for everything except Coin, Jackpot Coin and Royal Crown symbols. Bets in the demo ran from 0.10 to 100.

3x3 Grand Crown Hold the Spin base game with Wilds, a Royal Crown on reel 2 and the Grand, Major, Minor and Mini jackpot panel — The 3x3 base game at a 1.00 bet, with the four jackpots on the left.

Royal Crown and the Collect feature

The Royal Crown only appears on the middle reel, in both the main game and the bonus. In the main game it starts the Collect feature when it lands with Coin symbols that sit on only one of the side reels. Collect adds up every coin value on screen, jackpots included, and pays it as part of the spin.

Coins on both side reels plus the Crown in the middle do something bigger: they trigger the Bonus Game. A note in the rules says the pile of coins building up toward the gold crown above the reels is decoration only and does not affect triggering.

Bonus Game: hold and spin

The Bonus Game starts with 3 respins. It triggers from Coins on reels 1 and 3 with the Royal Crown on reel 2, or through the Heap of Coins feature. The symbols that trigger it carry over into the bonus. From then on, every empty position spins on its own.

Only three symbol types can land during the bonus: Coins worth a random 1x to 15x the bet, Jackpot Coins and the Royal Crown. Whenever one of them lands, the counter resets to 3. When a Crown lands on reel 2, it collects every visible coin value on reels 1 and 3, jackpot coins included, and adds them to its own value. It then locks in place, and the collected coins leave their spots free for new symbols. The round ends when the counter reaches 0, and the bonus total is added to the win from the triggering spin.

Jackpot Coins pay fixed amounts: Grand 1,000x, Major 150x, Minor 50x and Mini 25x the bet.

Heap of Coins feature

Any Coin or Royal Crown that lands in the main game can trigger Heap of Coins at random. It adds Coin, Royal Crown and Jackpot Coin symbols to the reels until there are enough to start the Bonus Game. The rules do not give odds for it, and we did not see it in our short session.

Buy Bonus and our demo buy

The basket icon opens Buy Bonus, the only purchase option. It costs 50x the bet and plays one free main game spin that is guaranteed to start the Bonus Game. The game lists the RTP with Buy Bonus as 94.00%, the same as the base game.

We bought it at a 1.00 bet for 50.00 FUN. The guaranteed spin landed 2.00 coins on reels 1 and 3 with the Crown in the middle. During the respins, Crowns kept dropping onto reel 2 and locking in place, and at one stage the middle reel held three Crowns showing 7.00 and 3.00 among them, with the counter back at 3. The round finished with a Bonus Game Win of 55.00 FUN, 55x the bet, a small profit over the 50x price. That is one bonus from one buy, not an average.

RTP, max win and bet range

The game rules list a theoretical RTP of 94.00%, both for normal play and with Buy Bonus. That is lower than many modern slots, so keep it in mind. The maximum award is capped at 3,000x the bet; once it is reached the round ends right away. The rules give no volatility rating. Demo bets ranged from 0.10 to 100, and autoplay offers 25, 50, 100 or 250 spins.

Our verdict

3x3 Grand Crown: Hold the Spin keeps things small and readable. Five lines, one bonus and one buy option mean you always know what is happening. The Royal Crown is the clever part: each Crown sweeps the side reels and frees space for more coins, so a bonus can keep rolling well past its first few respins. The 94.00% RTP is the catch, and the 3,000x cap limits the top end. Our single 50x buy returned 55x, which shows how close to the price a typical round can land. Worth a spin in demo if you like simple hold-and-win games.
