Booongo pokies at gday007: how Hold and Win works, game by game
Most Booongo slots at gday007 share one bonus idea: special symbols lock in place, you get a set of respins, and each new symbol that lands keeps the round going. Here is how that round and its jackpot tiers work, then how each of the 16 BNG games twists it.
Booongo at gday007 in brief
Booongo, usually shortened to BNG, makes video slots, and most of the ones at gday007 are built around a Hold and Win round. Its official list has 208 released games, each with a published reel grid, line count, feature list and any jackpot tiers. The 16 covered here run from two small 3×3 coin games to Aztec Fire. Booongo publishes no RTP or volatility, so the table shows a figure only where review sites agree; otherwise the game's info panel shows it.
How a Hold and Win round works
Hold and Win is a respin bonus. When it starts, the special symbols on the reels lock in place and you get a set of respins. Each new special symbol that lands during those respins locks as well, and landing more keeps the round going. When the respins run out, the round is over.
Treat it as a second game inside the slot. The base game pays along lines, from 5 in 3 Coins to 30 in Magic Apple, while the bonus round follows its own rules. In 3 Coins, three coins start it. Elsewhere, the trigger, the number of respins and each symbol's value are in the rules screen, so open it once before your first real-money spin. Each title then adds its own twist: extra rows, multipliers, mystery or collect symbols, or a Boost feature.
Where the jackpot tiers fit in
Most of these games name a jackpot tier, set as a multiple of your bet. On an AU$1 bet, a 1,000x Grand jackpot is worth AU$1,000; on a 50c bet, AU$500.
- 500x the bet: Coin Volcano's Grand jackpot.
- 1,000x: the Grand in Black Wolf, Sun of Egypt, Dragon Pearls, Aztec Sun and Wolf Saga.
- 2,000x: the Grand in Hit the Gold!, Gold Express and Magic Apple.
- 5,000x: the Grand in Tiger Jungle, 15 Dragon Pearls and Queen of the Sun.
- 10,000x: the Royal jackpot in Aztec Fire and Sun of Egypt 3.
3 Coins and Super Sticky Piggy list no tier. A tier is a jackpot prize, not the most a game can pay, and Booongo publishes no max win for these titles. How each tier is won is explained in the rules screen.
Three Hold and Win games to learn on at gday007
Coin Volcano
The same 3×3 grid with extras. Coin Volcano is built entirely around Hold and Win and adds volcano multipliers and an Ultra bonus game. Medium volatility, agreed RTP 95.66%, Grand jackpot 500x the bet. Play it after 3 Coins to see what the extras change.
Black Wolf
The step up to a full-size slot: a 5×4 grid with 25 pay lines, medium volatility and an agreed 95.65% RTP. It adds mystery jackpot symbols and a Boost feature, and lists a 1,000x Grand. The rules screen shows how both fit into the round.
How the other 13 games change the round
The classic pattern: Sun of Egypt, Dragon Pearls and Aztec Sun
The closest to a standard Hold and Win slot: 25 lines on 5×3 reels, respins, free spins and a 1,000x Grand. Sun of Egypt and Dragon Pearls add top symbols to their free spins. Only Dragon Pearls has agreed figures: medium volatility, 95.01% RTP.
Collect symbols: Tiger Jungle and 15 Dragon Pearls
Both use 25 lines on 5×3 reels with a 5,000x Grand. Tiger Jungle adds collect symbols and sticky wild free spins (RTP 95.86%); 15 Dragon Pearls runs a bonus game with two collect symbols (95.71%).
Mystery symbols: Sun of Egypt 3, Queen of the Sun and Hit the Gold!
All three use 25 lines on 5×3 reels. Sun of Egypt 3 has Bonus and Super Bonus games and a 10,000x Royal jackpot (95.61%). Queen of the Sun pairs mystery symbols with sticky wild free spins and a 5,000x Grand (95.77%). Hit the Gold! puts its mystery symbols in the bonus and lists a 2,000x Grand.
Boost: Gold Express and Wolf Saga
Gold Express has 20 lines on 5×4 reels, power wilds in free spins and a 2,000x Grand, and it is the only game here agreed to be high volatility, so expect longer quiet runs. Wolf Saga has 25 lines on 5×3 reels, a Boost symbol, giant symbols in free spins, a 1,000x Grand and the page's highest agreed RTP, 96.06%.
A bigger board: Aztec Fire
Aztec Fire starts on 5×4 reels with 20 lines, and its bonus board unlocks rows up to 5×8. It carries the other 10,000x Royal jackpot.
Free spins first: Magic Apple and Super Sticky Piggy
Magic Apple has 30 lines on 5×4 reels, stacked symbols, free spins with x2 wilds, a 2,000x Grand and medium volatility. Super Sticky Piggy is the odd one out: 20 lines on 5×3, sticky piggy wilds, super free spins and a jumping wild up to x10.

Nine games have an agreed figure, from Wolf Saga's 96.06% down to Dragon Pearls at 95.01%. For the other seven, check the info panel.
