Spinomenal has expanded its portfolio with the release of Magical Genie - Hold & Hit 3x3, a new slot built around Arabian fantasy imagery and Hold & Hit bonus mechanics. The game presents a compact 3x3 reel format placed inside a gold ornamental frame, complemented by palace-themed visuals and a soundtrack designed to reflect an exotic setting.
The title introduces a Wild represented by the Golden Palace symbol. This element substitutes for standard symbols during base gameplay while excluding Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols. Two bonus-related icons define the core feature activation: Bonus symbols appear exclusively on reels one and three, while Bonus Collect symbols only land on the middle reel.
Feature entry occurs when Bonus symbols align on the outer reels simultaneously with a Bonus Collect symbol on reel two. Once activated, those symbols remain fixed on the screen. The feature begins with three spins and restricts new symbol appearances to Bonus and Bonus Collect icons only.
The gameplay structure also includes multiplier rewards linked to player bets. Spins within the bonus round may produce values such as x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15. Each newly landed Bonus or Bonus Collect symbol resets the spin counter back to three, extending the round’s duration under qualifying conditions. The bonus session concludes either after three spins without additional symbols or when collected winnings reach a ceiling of x5000.
During the bonus feature, Bonus symbols feed their values directly into the Bonus Collect total. The process accumulates winnings continuously until the feature ends. Jackpot symbols may also appear at any time in regular gameplay and deliver instant payouts tied to four tiers: Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini.
A separate random mechanic, the Bonus Blast Feature, may add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols to the reels. This event increases the probability of triggering the main bonus round.
The game also includes a collection mechanic active outside the bonus round. When a Bonus Collect symbol lands alongside Bonus symbols without forming the required triggering combination, the values still transfer immediately to the player’s total spin win. This functionality operates during the base game phase.
Spinomenal positioned the release as part of its continuing focus on thematic slots with familiar folklore inspiration. The company emphasised visual presentation, jackpot integration, and Hold & Hit-style progression in the design approach.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Magical Genie - Hold & Hit 3x3 brings the timeless appeal of Arabian folklore to life in a way that only Spinomenal can. The Hold & Hit mechanics, the beautiful graphics, and the four jackpot levels all work together to make something truly special: a game where every spin feels like one wish closer to the genie granting it all.”
