22 October 2025 – ESA Gaming has expanded its popular Hold+Win series with three brand-new titles — Dazzling Reels, Clover Rush, and Chip Rush — following the recent success of Ankh of Fortune and Octopus Riches.
The trio of classic-style 5×3, 20-payline slots continues ESA Gaming’s focus on combining timeless casino aesthetics with modern, high-engagement mechanics. Each game features stacked wilds to boost base game wins and a Hold+Win bonus round, triggered by landing six or more money or jackpot symbols, where players can unlock prizes of up to 5,000x their bet.
In addition to the Hold+Win feature, all three titles include a free spins round activated by three scatter symbols. During free spins, wilds double payouts, and players have the chance to claim one of four jackpots, enhancing replayability and reward potential.
The games are being released immediately through exclusive partners, with a wider rollout planned over the next three months.
This release marks ESA Gaming’s second batch of Hold+Win games as the studio continues to ramp up production using its OpenSlots rapid development framework. This flexible framework allows the team to streamline content creation, enabling faster delivery of bespoke, branded, and seasonal titles for operator partners.
Like all ESA Gaming releases, the new slots are mobile-first and fully compatible with both desktop and sportsbook integrations, including availability through the company’s EasySwipe™ widget, which lets players seamlessly transition between casino games and sportsbook activity.
Thomas Smallwood, Chief Commercial Officer at ESA Gaming, said:
“Dazzling Reels is a standout in terms of playability, and these new releases reinforce our commitment to publish a wider catalog of popular mechanics.”
He added:
“We expect to follow on rapidly from this game batch with more unique content for certain markets and operators thanks to OpenSlots, which optimizes the game development process to provide rapid deployment — ideal for bespoke games, branded, promotional, and seasonal versions.”
With its growing lineup of Hold+Win titles, ESA Gaming continues to strengthen its reputation for delivering fast, accessible, and highly engaging slot experiences optimized for today’s dynamic iGaming market.
