The Hold & Win feature can expand from one active reel set up to a 10×6 area. The main mechanics are Wilds, Random Wilds, Stacked Mystery Symbols, Nudging Multiplier Wild Reel, ATM Bonus, Pick Bonus, Hold & Win, and a Buy Bonus option.

• Basics: The Bonus Day uses a 5×3 layout with 243 ways to win. Regular wins are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the left. The low symbols include office themed items such as an employee badge, phone, cocktail, and piggy bank, while the higher symbols include wallet and worker character symbols. The paytable is modest, so the game depends more on bonus features than on regular ways wins.
• Wilds: The suitcase Wild can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. It substitutes for regular paying symbols, but not for Bonus symbols. Wilds are mainly base game helpers and do not work as scatters or collectors. They become more useful when the Random Wild feature adds several of them across the reels, or when the Nudging Wild Reel lands in the middle reel.
• Random Wilds: Random Wilds can trigger during any base game spin. When activated, the game adds 3 to 12 Wild symbols to positions on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. This can turn a weak layout into a stronger ways win, especially when Wilds land across several adjacent reels. The feature does not add a separate respin or multiplier by itself.
• Mystery Symbols: Golden envelope Mystery symbols can appear stacked on any reel. After the reels stop, all visible Mystery symbols reveal the same regular paying symbol. They cannot reveal into special symbols such as Bonus symbols, Wilds, or the Wild Reel. This is a simple ways win booster, mainly useful when several stacks appear across multiple reels.
• Wild Reel: The Wild Reel appears only on reel 3. It can land fully or partly visible, and if it is only partly visible, it nudges up or down until the whole middle reel becomes Wild. It carries a win multiplier of x2, x3, x5, x8, or x10 for wins it helps create. If it lands but does not create a win, Second Chance may trigger a free respin with the Wild Reel locked while the other reels spin again.
• ATM Bonus: Whenever a Bonus symbol lands in the base game, it is added to the ATM above the reels and can trigger a random event. With 5 or fewer Bonus symbols visible, the ATM can add more Bonus symbols to help start Hold & Win. With 6 or more Bonus symbols visible, it can boost some of their values. The ATM can also trigger the Pick Bonus directly.
• Pick Bonus: The Pick Bonus presents 9 sticky notes. The player reveals notes until 3 matching jackpot symbols appear. The matching prize is then awarded. The fixed prizes are Major at 40x, Maxi at 100x, Super at 400x, and Grand at 10,000x bet. This is a quick pick feature rather than a spin based bonus.
• Hold & Win: Landing 6 or more Bonus symbols triggers Hold & Win with 3 respins. One reel set is active at the start, and up to 3 additional reel sets can be unlocked by landing enough Bonus symbols in the active area, expanding the bonus up to 10×6 with 60 positions. Bonus symbols stick, and each new Bonus symbol in the active area resets the counter back to 3. Bonus symbols can show cash values from 1x to 10x bet or jackpot values between 15x and 400x. When no respins remain, all prizes in active areas are paid. Filling all 60 positions awards the 10,000x Grand jackpot.
• Buy Bonus: Costs 80x bet and triggers the Hold & Win feature directly with 6 or more Bonus symbols. The bought feature uses the same 3 respin system, sticky Bonus symbols, unlockable reel sets, cash values, jackpot values, and 10,000x full grid Grand prize as the naturally triggered Hold & Win.
