Japanese Coin: Hold The Spin Slot by Gamzix

Free spins work on a rotation here. Three levels, each with different rules, and the game tracks which one you're on between sessions. Level 1 strips the reels to high-pays, Wilds, and Coins only - 8 spins on a cleaner board. Level 2 opens everything back up but gives you 15 spins instead. Level 3 returns to 8 spins and picks a random symbol type each spin to convert into Wild (anything except Wilds and Coins). After Level 3, the cycle resets to 1. The buy option triggers whichever level is currently queued, so there's a reason to pay attention to where the rotation stands before spending.

Six or more golden Coin symbols on the reels fire the Hold The Spin bonus - works in both the base game and during free spins. Three respins, reset on every new Coin landing, and each Coin carries a value between 1x and 16x your bet. Four fixed jackpots sit inside the round: Bronze at 20x, Silver at 50x, Gold at 150x, and Platinum at 5,000x for filling all 15 positions. Mystery Coins only show up during the bonus. They stay face-down until the round ends, then flip to reveal Bronze, Silver, or Gold jackpot values - so you don't know what they're worth until the final tally.

Cherry blossom branches drape over both sides of the grid, pink petals drifting across a bright blue sky with Mount Fuji and a pagoda off to the left. The torii gate crowning the reel border is painted in red and gold. High-value symbols are a folding fan, golden koi, a waving maneki-neko in a red frame, and a green 7. The Scatter is a painted scroll showing Fuji at sunrise - three of them on the middle reels trigger whichever free spin level is next in line. Card royals from J through A fill the lower tiers, each in a different bold color against the dark blue reel background. It all leans bright and cheerful, closer to Sunny Coin 2 in tone than the moodier entries in the Gamzix coin catalog.
