Spinomenal has launched a new slot game titled The Midnight Steamer – Hold & Hit 3×3, expanding its Hold & Hit collection. This vibrant game features a 3×3 reel set gliding along golden tracks with a dynamic backdrop of neon skies and sparkling station lights. The gameplay is energized by a lively electro-funk soundtrack that combines disco vibes with contemporary synth-pop elements, creating an engaging atmosphere for players with each turn.
The game includes a 777 Wild symbol that can yield payouts of up to 3x when matched on the reels, serving as a substitute for all symbols except the Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols. The Midnight Steamer introduces two main Bonus symbols: the Bonus symbol, which only appears on reels one and three, and the Bonus Collect symbol, restricted to reel two. Payline symbols also feature a Diamond (offering payouts of 3x to 1.5) and a Bell (3x to 1), increasing winning possibilities through various bonus elements.
Activating the Bonus Game occurs when Bonus Collect symbols appear with one or more Bonus symbols. This triggers a collection phase where these symbols lock in place, initiating three spins. During this round, only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols will appear, and multipliers ranging from 1x to 15x can be won, in addition to the chance of hitting the in-game jackpots.
The jackpot system, structured in four tiers, reflects the escalating might of a locomotive: the Mini Jackpot offers 25 times the bet, the Minor Jackpot is 50 times, the Major Jackpot provides 150 times, and the Grand Jackpot can achieve 1,000 times the bet. The Bonus Game concludes after three spins without a new symbol or when a maximum win of 5,000 times the bet is reached. At the conclusion, the total values garnered by Bonus Collect symbols are paid out as the final prize.
Additionally, the Bonus Collect symbol accumulates values during the feature. If any Bonus symbol lands, all Bonus Collect symbols present will capture its value, and the Bonus symbol disappears while resetting the spin counter back to three. To reach the full multiplier potential of 5,000 times the bet, players must fill all nine symbol positions before the feature expires.
Aside from the regular gameplay, The Midnight Steamer also features a Buy Bonus option for instant access to the Bonus Game, a Turbo Mode for quicker play, and a random Bonus Blast Feature that can distribute more Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols across the reels, enhancing the chances of activation. Even outside the Bonus Game, landing Bonus Collect symbols with Bonus or jackpot symbols collects their values instantly, maximizing winning opportunities.
Spinomenal’s CO-CEO, Omer Henya, remarked on the release saying, "The Midnight Steamer blends high-energy visuals with slick mechanics that keep players engaged from spin to spin. The combination of the four jackpot tiers, the flexible Bonus Collect accumulator system, and player-choice features like Buy Bonus and Turbo Mode make this a game that caters to different play styles while delivering consistent excitement."
