Bonsai Gold - Hold & Win
On Day 13, we went with a game from a known studio: Bonsai Gold from Novomatic, a 5x3, 243-ways slot with x5,000 max potential. We triggered 8 Hold & Win bonuses, hit a x603 win worth 120.58 USD, picked up the Mini and Minor jackpots twice combined, and saw the double-Pot feature in our last bonus. It was one of our top sessions so far. 1000 Spins Approved? BIG YES.

Day 13 - Bonsai Gold - Hold & Win - Slot Review
On Day 13, I decided to go with a known studio, since we’d been playing junior studios for the last 3 days. The game of the day was Bonsai Gold from Novomatic.
If you’ve spent some time in a land-based casinos, you’ve almost certainly played one of their games, at least the classic Book of Ra.
Bonsai Gold was released in 2025. It’s a classic 5x3 slot with 243 ways to win and a max multiplier potential of x5,000.
What we’re chasing here is the Pot symbol, which only shows up on the middle reel and collects all the coin symbols when it lands, each with its own value. To trigger the Hold & Win bonus, you need to land the Pot and at least 4 coin symbols on the reels, and that unlocks the most fun part of the game.
During the bonus round, two more layers are added. The first is the Multiplier coins, which are progressive and accumulate in the Bonsai Tree. The second is the Jackpot coins: even a single Jackpot coin on the reels pays its full value immediately. For the Bonsai Tree multiplier to increase and pay out during the bonus, you need to land both a Multiplier coin and regular coins on the same spin. The coin values are then multiplied by the total multiplier accumulated in the Bonsai Tree.
We triggered our first bonus on spin 97 and then 7 more times after that, so the bonus frequency is massive.
In one of the bonuses, we banked a x603 win, the highlight of our session, worth 120.58 USD.
Our last bonus came on spin 900, and it was so much fun because for the first time in the session we activated 2 Pots in the bonus game, which means everything is doubled. Unfortunately, we didn’t survive long and finished that last bonus with just a 17.54 USD win.
We also hit the Mini and Minor jackpots twice combined during the 1,000 spins.
As if the number of bonuses wasn’t enough, we also hit a bunch of x30 and x50 wins in the base game.
Overall, it was one of our top sessions, with plenty of exciting moments, and we got to see everything the game has to offer.
Is it 1000 Spins Approved? BIG YES.
