What are Flash Holds/Holds After Nudges/3 Holds?
When you are offered nudges, the machine will often give you one less nudge than you need to get a win (surprise surprise!). If this happens, always attempt to bring at least two matching fruits on the line. If the machine then offers holds straight after, let them all spin to get the win. Most new machines will now tell you what to do anyway, so this is pretty self explanatory. Believe it or not, back in the early 1990’s this was a trick people would have wanted kept quiet. Like every little trick (see barcodes above), it’s now pretty much common knowledge among novices and players alike. Another “common knowledge” trick is getting three holds in a row when two like symbols are on the display (e.g. holding two jackpot symbols). On the third hold, you’ll get the matching fruit for the win. Surprisingly, there are still a few machines out there where three holds DON’T work but these are rare!
