- A new hold and win slot from Iron Dog Studios
- Win three different jackpots up to 1,000x your bet
- Different modifiers during the free spins bonus
Stampeding Strike slot from Iron Dog Studios is a new hold and win game from the developer, offering respins, jackpots and free spins that come with extra modifiers and a different reel layout. There’s a lot going on here so I’ll be sure to cover it in detail in this review. Let’s start with the basics though and that begins with the design. It’s nice a bright with clear symbols that are made up of different animals, although some of them don’t really seem to go together. I have to say this theme is a bit overused and doesn’t really stand out, but it’s not exactly a dealbreaker. You have 5 reels and 4 rows giving you 40 pay lines. Just try and get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols that are ranked as followed in ascending order:
- 10
- Jack
- Queen
- King
- Ace
- Bison
- Deer
- Racoon
- Wolf, Eagle or Bear

Stampeding Strike Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbols. As you might expect, there is a wild symbol as well that substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the non-paying symbols. These are also the most valuable symbols in the game on their own in a combination of 5.
Hold And Win Bonus. In order to trigger this, you need 6 or more golden nuggets anywhere on the screen at the same time. You’ll then be given 3 respins, removing other symbols from the board. Now, only nugget symbols can appear and these carry values on them that will be awarded when the bonus is over. If the whole screen is filled, the total payout is given a 2x multiplier.
Jackpot Feature. You can also win jackpots in this game, as seen above the reels. There are just 3 of these, mini, minor and major, giving you 50x, 250x and 1,000x your stake, respectively. To win a jackpot, you need 3, 4 or 5 strike nuggets on the screen at the end of the respin bonus, and this will also increase the total payout from the bonus by giving a multiplier up to 5x.
Free Spins Bonus. If you want to trigger this you’ll need 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols. This will award you with 8, 12 or 20 free spins, respectively. You play on an enlarged 4-6-6-6-4 screen with 60 paylines and separate modifiers are in play that include extra wilds and expanding symbols.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the main bonus for 100x your stake.
Conclusion
Stampeding Strike slot from Iron Dog Studios is their latest game to include the hold and win respin feature that is proving quite popular at the moment. It’s relatively simple but it does work well and being able to get nice multipliers and jackpots is great. The free spins bonus changes things up by offering more pay lines and additional modifiers, making it rewarding but also entertaining to play. I think this is a solid game overall with little to complain about and I hope to see more of the hold and win feature again.
