The Auction House - Demo & Slot Review

The Auction House uses a 5 reel, 4 row layout with 20 fixed paylines, a 96.15% RTP, very high volatility, a 13.00% hit rate, and a maximum win of 10,000x stake. The stake range is 0.20 to 40.

Wins pay left to right across fixed lines, and the core special symbols are Wild, Scatter, and Bonus. The game’s structure is simple but feature-led: 3 or more Scatters trigger Free Spins, 6 or more Bonus symbols trigger Hold & Win, and a Random Wilds feature can add 4 to 19 extra Wilds in the base game when a Wild lands without triggering either bonus feature. There is also a Buy Bonus menu that lets you purchase 5, 7, or 9 Free Spins directly.

• Basics: The Auction House uses 20 fixed paylines on a 5×4 grid. Wins pay from left to right. The top regular symbol is the red sports car, paying 1x for 2 of a kind, 2.5x for 3, 15x for 4, and 200x for 5. The painting pays 0.5x, 2x, 7.5x, and 25x. The necklace pays 1.75x, 4.5x, and 15x for 3, 4, and 5. The bust pays 1.5x, 4x, and 12.5x. The diamond pays 1x, 3.5x, and 10x. The Fabergé egg symbols pay between 0.5x and 7.5x depending on symbol and combination length.
• Wild: The gavel holding auctioneer is the Wild. It substitutes for every regular pay symbol except Scatter and Bonus. It can appear on all reels and supports both normal line wins and the Random Wilds feature.
• Random Wilds: In the base game, if at least one Wild lands on a spin that does not trigger Free Spins or Hold & Win, the Random Wilds feature can activate. When it does, the game adds 4 to 19 extra Wilds across the reels, then evaluates wins after the extra Wilds land. This is the main base-game enhancer and the clearest way the regular spin can suddenly jump in value without entering a bonus round.
• Free Spins: Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers Free Spins. The feature awards up to 9 Free Spins, and the buy menu mirrors this by allowing direct purchase of 5, 7, or 9 Free Spins. Free Spins are retriggerable, and the same Wild and Random Wild pressure continues to matter inside the bonus, which makes this the more traditional of the game’s two bonus routes.
• Hold & Win: The gold coin is the Bonus symbol. Landing 6 or more scattered Bonus symbols triggers Hold & Win. All triggering Bonus symbols lock in place, and the feature starts with 3 respins. Any new Bonus symbol that lands during the feature also locks in place and resets the respin counter back to 3. Bonus symbol prize values range from 1.00 to 500.00, based on the triggering bet. The feature ends when no respins remain or when the grid is filled with Bonus symbols. This is the main high volatility engine in the game and the most direct route toward its bigger payouts.
