Welcome to the world of Dracula, as imagined by the online casino game provider **18Peaches** in its slot creation titled **Monster Load-Up Hold & Win**. From the very first time you load this game, it’s evident that this provider went to great lengths to ensure **Monster Load-Up Hold & Win** would appeal to players not just during the Halloween season, but throughout the entire calendar year as well. That’s because this particular casino game starts off with a fantastic introduction video that really helps set the stage for what’s to come as you begin to spin the reels.
And when it comes time to begin spinning the reels, you’ll be happy to know that **Monster Load-Up Hold & Win** features 5-reels with 4-rows each, which results in an impressive 1,024 ways to win on each and every spin. This game also boasts a maximum win multiplier of 5,000x along with a very reasonable RTP of 96.25%, which is perfectly aligned with its medium volatility rating.
While playing this game, some of the features to keep an eye out for during the base game are its wild symbols, random wilds, and mystery symbols. The wild symbol is represented by the green monster and substitutes for all other symbols except the bonus symbol. Anywhere from 2-4 random wilds can appear at anytime in the base game. And when mystery symbols land in the base game, they are transformed into paying symbols or bonus symbols. In the bonus game, mystery symbols can transform into bonus buys or coins, which we’ll tell you more about below.
**Bonus Buy**
When it comes to the bonus round on **Monster Load-Up Hold & Win**, there are a couple different ways to trigger it. The most traditional way is by collecting 3 bonus symbols on a single spin, which only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. If you happen to land bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3 only, you’ll increase the game’s bonus booster progress bar by 1 point. And after you’ve collected 10 points, you’ll unlock an extra spin for the next bonus round. You can also buy your way directly into the bonus round, which will cost you 100x your bet for a regular bonus round or 200x your bet for a bonus round with bonus booster.
**Bonus Round**
Once you’ve triggered the bonus round, you’ll be awarded 3 spins to start or 4 spins if the bonus booster is activated. You will also begin the bonus round with 3 coin symbols placed randomly on the reels. As your spins begin, anytime you land a new symbol the reels, the number of remaining spins will reset. This process continues until all of your spins have been used or all of the spots on the reels have been filled.
To determine your bonus round winnings, the total amount of all values shown on the reels is multiplied by your bet. Silver coins on the reels carry a value between 1-9x and gold coins carry a value between 10-50x. And the symbols for Dracula, Mavis, Frankenstein, and Mummy all have special powers as described below.
-Dracula: Has an initial value of 1-9x and collects multiplier values of all other symbols on every spin.
-Mavis: Has an initial value of 1-9x and collects multiplier values of all other symbols once.
-Frankenstein: Has an initial value of 2-4x and multiplies the value of all other symbols by its value once.
-Mummy: Has an initial value of 1-9x and awards an additional 1x multiplier to all other symbols on every spin.
**Gamble Feature**

With this feature, after any winning spin, you can choose to risk your winnings in exchange for bigger winnings by correctly guessing whether the card shown will be red or black.
