Cheetah Chase - Hold & Win is a Rival release set across a city skyline after dark, where a masked cheetah is out collecting diamonds. The game runs 5 reels with 20 paylines and pays left to right from the leftmost reel. The return to player is 96.41% and the win cap is 5,000 times the bet. Stakes run from $0.20 to $50.
The emerald amulet heads the paytable, followed by the blue scarab and the jewelled crown. Below them sit a framed portrait and a marble bust, with the A, K, Q and J ranks closing the table. A cheetah serves as the Wild on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. It substitutes for every symbol other than the Scatters, and only the highest multiplier on a winning combination is applied. Diamonds act as Prize symbols, with four jackpots above the reels, Mini, Minor, Major and Grand.
The Hold and Win round is triggered by six or more diamonds landing anywhere on the reels in one spin. All Prize symbols are then locked for the duration of the round, which starts with three respins. Diamonds carry no value in normal play and pay only once the round is running. Jackpot prizes are awarded within the same round.
In normal play a winning combination is cleared from the reels and replacement symbols drop into the empty positions, which can form further wins and further drops until none are left. Wilds and regular symbols both qualify. Prize symbols do not clear, they drop in and remain on screen. A bonus buy carries its own return figure, and the 5,000x ceiling is listed at odds of 1 in 31,300,000.

Cheetah Chase - Hold & Win from Rival has you up on the rooftops with a masked cheetah and a city full of diamonds. You play 5 reels with 20 paylines, paying left to right from the leftmost reel. The RTP is 96.41% and the win cap is 5,000 times your bet. Your stake runs from $0.20 to $50.
Your top symbol is the emerald amulet, then the blue scarab and the jewelled crown. The framed portrait and the marble bust come after them, and the A, K, Q and J fill in below. Your Wild is the cheetah, on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only. It stands in for everything apart from the Scatters, and where a win carries multipliers only the highest one counts. Diamonds are the Prize symbols, and the four jackpots above the reels run Mini, Minor, Major and Grand.
Six or more diamonds on the reels in a single spin puts you into the Hold and Win round. Everything you have landed locks in place for the round and you get three respins to work with. Diamonds are no use to you outside of this, they only pay once the round is live. The jackpots come out of this round too.
In the base game your winning symbols clear and new ones drop into the space, and that can set off more wins and more drops until the board settles. Wilds count towards it as much as the regular symbols. Your Prize symbols never clear, they drop and hold their spot. A bonus buy is on offer with its own return figure, and the 5,000x cap sits at 1 in 31,300,000. Mask up and go to work.
