Frank Pantera and the debut of Spinmatic’s Hold&Win

The neon glow of New York City is casting a new light on the igaming market. Spinmatic is proud to announce the release of Frank Pantera, a high-production slot that blends the timeless allure of a 1950s jazz club with cutting-edge volatility and mechanics.

More than just a stylish addition to your lobby, Frank Pantera marks a technical milestone for Spinmatic: the introduction of our first-ever Hold&Win feature. Designed to drive player retention and maximise lifetime value, this title is the ultimate headline act for operators looking to elevate their portfolio.

The scene is set on the rain-slicked streets of Manhattan, where the flickering signs of jazz clubs reflect in the puddles and the air is thick with anticipation. Amidst the flashing bulbs of the paparazzi, the "Star in Town" emerges. Frank Pantera isn't just a character; he is the anchor of a narrative-driven experience that keeps players immersed in a world of "darkness to dazzling lights."

The main event: Spinmatic’s first Hold&Win

The true innovation lies within the rhythm of the game. For the first time in Spinmatic’s history, we are introducing the Hold&Win mechanic—a fan-favourite feature proven to boost engagement.

• Triggering the beat: When 6 or more Coin symbols land in the base game, the music shifts. The player enters the Hold&Win arena, where the standard reels disappear, and the hunt for gold begins.
• The Respin rhythm: Players start with 3 respins. Every time a new Coin symbol lands, it locks in place and the respin counter resets to 3, creating a "near-miss" psychological loop that keeps players on the edge of their seats.
• The Grand Finale: Minor and Major Special Coins award immediate rewards, while the ultimate prize—the Grand Jackpot—is awarded to those who fill all 15 positions on the screen.

While Hold&Win is the star, the supporting mechanics ensure the base game remains just as lucrative and engaging:

• The Wild: Frank Pantera himself acts as the WILD, substituting for all standard symbols to create the highest-match wins. He stays active during Freespins to ensure the payouts keep climbing.
• Giant Symbols & Freespins: Landing Freespin Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 triggers 8 Freespins. During this round, the center reels merge into Giant Symbols, significantly increasing the hit frequency for prize lines.
• Infinite encores: If a Giant Freespin Scatter appears during the bonus round, an additional 8 Freespins are awarded, allowing for extended play sessions and increased player satisfaction.

Why Frank Pantera belongs in your portfolio

In a crowded market, Frank Pantera stands out by offering the perfect blend of aesthetic prestige and heavy-hitting mechanics. It caters to both the "casual explorer" who enjoys high-end themes and the "hardcore gambler" chasing the excitement of a Grand Jackpot.

By integrating Spinmatic’s first Hold&Win title, operators can leverage a proven retention tool wrapped in a unique, cinematic package.

Prepare for the premiere. Frank Pantera is ready to take the stage—don't let your players miss the show.
