The character lineup looks like it escaped from an animated film pitch meeting. A horned red dragon, a purple tentacled creature, a pink blob with a grin, and a stocky green monster fill the premium symbol positions with the kind of illustrated personality that most alien-themed slots never attempt. Galactic Riches Hold and Win from SpinOro pairs these creatures with a UFO collection feature, three visible jackpot tiers displayed permanently beneath the reels, and a free spins round where the middle three reels merge into a single MEGA symbol. The 95.60% RTP sits above most of SpinOro’s catalogue, which gives the charming presentation a stronger statistical backbone than the provider’s usual offerings.
Six or more UFO symbols landing on a single spin trigger the Hold and Win round. All non-UFO symbols are shaded out and the UFO positions lock in place. Three respins are awarded, and only UFO symbols can appear during the feature. Each new UFO resets the counter back to three. The round ends when respins expire or when all 15 grid positions fill with UFOs. Every UFO carries a coin value, and the accumulated total is paid at the end. The feature runs cleanly and the locked-position visual feedback makes progress easy to track.
Three jackpot levels sit beneath the reels throughout every spin: Mini ($75 at a $2.50 bet, equivalent to 30x), Maxi ($250, equivalent to 100x), and MEGA ($2,500, equivalent to 1,000x). Mini and Maxi jackpot symbols can appear on UFOs during the Hold and Win feature. If every position on the grid fills with UFO symbols, any Mini or Maxi jackpots already collected upgrade to the MEGA jackpot. That visible progression from partial fill to full grid to MEGA conversion is the feature’s highest-ceiling outcome.
Three broken moon Scatter symbols appearing on reels 1, 3, and 5 trigger 5 free spins. During the feature, reels 2, 3, and 4 combine into a single 3×3 MEGA symbol. The MEGA symbol is treated as 9 instances of the same symbol type on the board, which concentrates matching coverage across the middle of the grid and increases the chance of multi-payline wins. Three additional Scatters during the feature add 5 more spins, and retriggers have no cap.
SpinOro’s output spans several distinct engine types. The Paris Touch reskins (Easter Reels, Fruit Loot Stacks, Paris Touch) share a 20-payline Super Stack format at 94% RTP. The expanding symbol games (Book of the Forest, Shrine of Olympus) use a “Book of” framework with the same 94%. Montezuma’s Missions adds cascading wins. The Court of Hearts introduced a potion-selection multiplier system. And Travelling to Earth brought sticky Wilds with individual multipliers at 96% RTP. Galactic Riches adds Hold and Win to the mix, which is the first coin-collection format in the catalogue. The 95.60% RTP makes it the second-highest return in the provider’s lineup behind Travelling to Earth, and the three-tier jackpot display gives it a visual hook that no other SpinOro title offers.
The jackpot meters sitting permanently beneath the reels change how you evaluate every spin. Mini, Maxi, and MEGA values update with the bet level, and their constant visibility means you always know the stakes before a UFO lands. The 5×3 grid runs 25 paylines, with wins forming from the leftmost reel across adjacent positions. The Wobble Giant Wild replaces everything except Scatter and UFO symbols. Scatter symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5 only.
The Hold and Win feature, free spins with MEGA symbol, and all jackpot interactions all work identically whether playing for free or at real stakes.
The alien creature hierarchy runs from a horned red dragon at the top through to a stocky green monster, with four smaller creatures occupying the lower tier. At a $2.50 total bet.

Galactic Riches Hold and Win introduces SpinOro’s first coin-collection format with alien characters that look borrowed from an animated studio and a three-tier jackpot display that keeps the stakes visible on every spin. The MEGA symbol merging three reels during free spins adds genuine structural interest beyond the standard Hold and Win formula. The 95.60% RTP sits near the top of SpinOro’s catalogue. The session ran flat and the features did not trigger during our sampling, but the character quality and feature architecture suggest a game with more to offer than one session revealed.
An asteroid drifts past the top of the screen. The reels float against a deep space backdrop with nebula colours bleeding through behind the grid frame. Each alien character carries expression and posture that goes beyond static icon design. The red dragon looks irritated. The purple tentacle creature appears to be scheming. The pink blob grins with oblivious contentment. These are characters, not symbols, and the distinction matters when you are watching them spin past for fifty consecutive spins between features. The visual investment keeps the game interesting through stretches where the paytable alone would not.
Standard play at $2.50 across this review produced a relatively flat session. The 25-payline grid generated small wins with enough regularity to prevent the balance from dropping sharply, but neither the six-UFO Hold and Win threshold nor the triple-scatter free spins trigger landed during our sampling. The jackpot meters sitting beneath the reels served as a constant reminder of what the Hold and Win could deliver, which maintained engagement even as the standard returns remained modest.
The MEGA symbol during free spins is the feature that distinguishes Galactic Riches from generic Hold and Win entries. Merging reels 2, 3, and 4 into a single 3×3 symbol effectively places 9 instances of the same character across the middle of the grid, which creates payline coverage that individual symbol landings cannot match. Combined with unlimited retriggers from additional Scatters, the free spins round has structural potential that the Hold and Win format alone does not provide.
Among SpinOro’s growing catalogue, Galactic Riches occupies a unique position as their only Hold and Win entry. The Paris Touch reskins, expanding symbol games, and feature-selection titles like The Court of Hearts all run on different formats. The 95.60% RTP makes this the second-most generous return in the lineup, behind only Travelling to Earth at 96%. That statistical positioning combined with the character-driven visual identity gives Galactic Riches a combination of appeal that the flat session experience on its own does not fully communicate.
