Hold and Win in Morocco: the feature explained
Hold and Win refers to a bonus round where certain symbols lock in place on the grid during a series of additional free spins, called respins. Each new special symbol that lands resets the counter of remaining spins, allowing the grid to gradually fill up before it freezes and the accumulated winnings are paid out.
The player no longer bets on classic combinations during this round: they watch the grid fill up and the amount grow with each added symbol. Variance rises sharply during this phase, since the final result depends on the number of spaces occupied when the respin sequence stops, with no new stake required while the bonus is running.
What this mechanic changes for the stake and the risk
Hold and Win is triggered when a minimum number of special symbols, often coins or chests, appear during a normal spin. Once launched, the bonus plays out independently of the initial stake: the final payout builds up space by space, which explains why slots featuring this function generally display high or medium volatility rather than low.
On Sunny Fruits 2 by Playson, volatility is high and the maximum win reaches 10,000 times the stake, with four fixed jackpots awarded depending on how the 5×3, five-payline grid fills up. On Volcano Millions by Winspinity, volatility remains medium but the grid expands up to 5×4 during the bonus, and multipliers are added to the fixed jackpots to bring the maximum win to 20,000 times the stake.
Variants of the mechanic and where to play with a dirham account
The simplest variant is limited to fixed jackpots awarded when a space fills up, as on Sunny Fruits 2. A more complex variant adds an expanding grid and multipliers that increase the value of each locked symbol, as on Volcano Millions, which explains the gap between a maximum win of 10,000 and 20,000 times the stake between these two slots.
Both games are accessible with a dirham account at 1xBet, Melbet, Linebet and Megapari, four operators offering the Playson and Winspinity catalogues on the Moroccan market.

Sunny Fruits 2 and Volcano Millions are available at 1xBet, Melbet, Linebet and Megapari, four casinos that accept dirham accounts.
