Lobster Bob's Sea Food and Win It Slot by Pragmatic Play

Oysters sit beneath the reels collecting pearls from landing symbols. When they randomly open, the Hold & Spinner bonus replaces the standard reels with a new set that lands only blanks and money symbols. Each money symbol carries a cash value between 1x and 50x the bet. The round starts with 2 to 5 locked money symbols and three respins - every new money symbol that hits resets the counter back to three. Respins continue until three consecutive blanks end the round, and all collected values pay out at once.

Three scatter symbols trigger free spins with up to 30 rounds available. A win multiplier of up to x5 applies throughout the entire bonus, and a Hold & Spinner round is guaranteed to fire at some point during the free spins. Crab symbols work independently from the main paytable - landing three or more anywhere on the grid awards an instant payout ranging from 1x up to 500x for a full set of ten.

Two buy options sit at the same price point: 50x total bet each. One triggers free spins directly, the other launches Hold & Spinner. The Hold & Spinner buy has a random chance of upgrading to free spins instead, which then guarantees a Hold & Spinner within the bonus - effectively giving both features for one purchase price. The ante bet raises the cost by 50% (not the usual 25%) but increases the chance of both features triggering naturally.

Worth noting: the ante bet mode reduces the max win from 3,000x to 2,000x. That trade-off between higher feature frequency and a lower ceiling is the core decision point in this sequel to Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack.
