A Different Demo

Going Once, Going Twice

Crystal chandeliers hang above a room where every lot carries a price tag measured in multipliers instead of currency. The Auction House from Betsoft dresses a 5×4 grid in mahogany panelling and gilded frames, filling it with Wild symbols that can explode across the reels, a Hold and Win bonus loaded with coin values up to 500x, and a Free Spins round that keeps both features in play. The paytable reads like a collector’s catalogue, running from Fabergé eggs through diamond necklaces to a red sports car that shares the top payout tier with the Auctioneer Wild. A Buy Bonus option offers three entry points into the free spins at escalating costs, while the Random Wilds system can turn a single Wild into a grid covered in substitutes on any given spin. It is a different register from most slots in the current catalogue, trading pixel art and mythology for something closer to an evening sale at a fine auction house.

Under the Hammer

Random Wilds

The Auctioneer serves as the Wild symbol and substitutes for all standard paying symbols. It appears on every reel during regular play and free spins. When at least one Wild lands on a non-feature spin, there is a random chance that one of those Wilds will activate and explode, scattering between 4 and 19 additional Wilds across the grid. Only one Wild can activate per spin, and the original Wild stays in its position while the extras fill random locations. The additional Wilds can land on positions already occupied by Bonus coins, Scatter symbols, or other Wilds, overwriting them for that spin. This creates a secondary layer of anticipation on any spin where even a single Wild appears, as the explosion can reshape a quiet result into something far more productive.

Free Spins

Three or more Invitation Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins round. Three scatters award 5 free spins, four award 7, and five award 9. The round can retrigger during free spins by landing another set of 3 or more scatters. The Random Wilds system stays active throughout the bonus, meaning the exploding Wild feature can fire during free spins just as it does in standard play. Hold and Win can also trigger during free spins when 6 or more Bonus coin symbols land, adding a bonus-within-a-bonus dynamic that extends the ceiling of any given session.

Hold and Win

Six or more Bonus coin symbols scattered across the grid trigger the Hold and Win round. All triggering coins lock in position and display their values, which range from 1.00 to 500.00 at a 1.00 bet level. Three respins begin. Each respin can land new coins in empty positions, and landing any new coin resets the respin counter back to 3. The round ends when the counter reaches zero or every grid position is filled with a coin. The total payout equals the sum of all visible coin values.

Hold and Win can trigger during free spins, layering the two features together. Free spins cannot trigger during Hold and Win, so the feature flow only runs in one direction. The Bonus coin symbol carries no payout during regular play or free spins and only contributes value once the Hold and Win round is active.

The Hold and Win round opens with 3 respins, and every new coin resets the counter.

Buy Bonus

The Buy Bonus menu offers three tiers that skip directly to the free spins round. Five free spins costs 90x the current bet, seven spins costs 126x, and nine spins costs 160x. Each tier enters the same free spins round with all features active, including Random Wilds and the ability to trigger Hold and Win during the bonus. The pricing scales with the additional spins and the compounding opportunities they provide across longer sessions.

The Auction House sits within Betsoft’s THE Series, a lineup that pairs premium visual production with varied mechanical frameworks across different themes. The auction setting gives the paytable a natural hierarchy where each symbol tier feels like a step up through the lots, and the Random Wilds system provides the kind of sudden turnarounds that match the unpredictable rhythm of competitive bidding. The 10,000x cap applies per round, covering both the base game and any bonus features triggered within it.

How to Play

Format and Bet Range

Twenty lines are mapped across a five-reel, four-row frame. Symbols must connect from reel 1 rightward, and each line settles on its single best-paying match. Results from different lines are summed into the total return. Minimum wager starts around €0.20 per spin.

A 96.15% RTP combined with very high volatility places it comfortably above the Betsoft catalogue. The Random Wilds system and Hold and Win feature create two separate paths to large payouts, with the free spins round acting as the bridge between them. When Hold and Win triggers during free spins, the two features compound within a single bonus session. The maximum win is capped at 10,000x per round.

The Wild (Auctioneer) substitutes for all standard symbols but does not replace the Scatter (Invitation) or Bonus (Coin) symbols. The Red Sports Car and Auctioneer Wild share identical payout values, making them co-equal as the highest paying symbols on the grid. The Bonus coin symbol does not pay during regular play or free spins and only carries value during the Hold and Win round, where individual coins display values between 1.00 and 500.00 at a 1.00 bet level.
