Olympus Coin Link — review

While the rest of the Olympus shelf tumble over each other to make yet another cascading game with multipliers, Fugaso has chosen a completely different family: Hold and Win. Coins, locked symbols, respins and fixed jackpots — the mechanic that normally belongs in western and dragon slots has here been moved up to Olympus.

Review

Olympus Coin Link under the microscope

Key figures: 96,12 % reported RTP, high volatility, max win 5000 times the stake. Release is 24. april 2025. These aren't the wildest numbers in the category, but it's a completely different kind of game, and that's exactly why it's worth a closer look.

01The coin round: how Hold and Win works on paper

The feature list includes Hold and Win, Respins and Sticky Symbols, and the three are inseparable. The basic principle is that a certain number of coin symbols trigger a separate round where the landed symbols become sticky and the respin counter resets each time a new symbol lands.

The round ends when the counter hits zero, or when the grid is full. All values on the locked coins are summed at the end. It's a fundamentally different pacing than cascading: instead of a single chain that builds up in seconds, you get a slow, counting accumulation.

The list also shows Additive symbol and Symbols collection (Energy). That points to a collection system where symbols add value to each other or fill a meter — but the exact rules are not provided by the sheet, and I won't invent them.

02Fixed jackpots — what we know and what we don't know

Fixed Jackpots are listed, which means fixed amounts rather than progressive pools that grow with players' stakes. In the Hold and Win format they typically appear as special symbols you can land in the coin round.

The number of jackpot tiers and their size are not specified in our data. That's a significant omission, because in this game type the jackpot structure is often the difference between an interesting and a trivial bonus round.

Note that the total cap is still 5000x. That sets a limit on how large even the highest fixed jackpot can be — there is no hidden million tucked away in the mechanics.

03Two bonus tracks and a buy button

In addition to the coin round, the list shows Bonus Game and Bonus symbols as separate entries. That suggests at least two separate bonus paths: the classic Hold and Win collection and another track, likely with free spins or a pick mechanic. The sheet does not specify this.

Buy Feature is present, and in Hold and Win games the buy function is often what actually sells the title — the base game in this genre is rarely entertaining on its own. On Danish gambling sites, however, the button is not always enabled.

Multiplier is also on the list, but without a stated cap. In Hold and Win formats the multiplier typically multiplies the total collected value at the end, and that is the most likely route to 5000x.

04Fugaso vs Pragmatic: who wins on the numbers

96,12 % is better than the original's 95,51 % and better than several of the more hyped follow-ups. It's the kind of detail players rarely notice, because the cap at 5000x doesn't look impressive next to 15.000x and 50.000x.

But a high ceiling is only worth anything if the path to it exists. Here you instead get a mechanic with a clear, readable structure and a decent payout percentage — and a gameplay feel that actually sets itself apart from the rest of the shelf.

High volatility still means a spin can take a long time to pay out. Playing on Danish sites requires you to be 18, and if the chase for the next win starts to control your pace, ROFUS is available via the Gambling Authority or StopSpillet at stopspillet.dk.

From the demo round

Screenshots from Olympus Coin Link

Olympus Coin Link from Fugaso is a three-reel machine with fruit machine symbols: 7s, BAR and colored gems. I played the demo with DEMO BET at 1,00 € and a balance around 2.995,00 €.

The jackpot ladder sits to the left of the reels and does not change: GRAND 1000,00, MAJOR 150,00, MINOR 50,00 and MINI 25,00. The coin symbols themselves carry amounts — I saw 1,00, 2,00 and 4,00 being collected by the lightning.

The Buy Bonus menu has two options with real prices: Bonus Up: Running Spins cost 3,00 € and make each spin five times more likely to trigger the bonus, while Running Wins costs 75,00 € and takes you straight into the bonus game. The purchase must be confirmed in an extra dialog that repeats the price 75,00 €.

The rule set

Game rules

Base game

The game is played on the provider's default setup with 5 ways to win. The published return is 96,12 %, and volatility is listed as high.

Additive symbols

Values from multiple symbols are added together before the total win is calculated.

Bonus games

In addition to the main round there is a separate bonus game with its own rules. Access is triggered via bonus symbols in the base game.

Bonus symbols

Special bonus symbols count toward triggering the game's extra rounds and do not necessarily pay out themselves.

Bonus buy

The bonus round can be bought directly for a fixed amount of the stake instead of waiting for scatters. The price is shown in the game's buy window — and some operators turn the feature off.

Fixed jackpots

The jackpot amounts are fixed multiples of the stake and therefore do not grow with players' wagers.

Hold & Win

Coin or prize symbols lock in place while a limited number of respins run. Each new coin resets the counter; the round ends when the reels stop with no new symbols.

Final word from the summit

The verdict

Plus
  • Hold and Win is a genuine alternative to the category's cascading monoculture
  • 96,12 % RTP beats both the original and several major follow-ups
  • Sticky symbols, respins and collection meter provide a clear structure
  • Fixed jackpots rather than opaque progressive pools
Cons
  • 5000x cap is modest in today's Olympus field
  • The sizes of the jackpot tiers are not specified
  • The base game in Hold and Win formats is rarely a strong feature on its own
7,6

Fugaso has done what no one else in the category dares: built an Olympus game that's not a Pragmatic clone. The coin mechanic works on a different logic, the RTP is above average, and the structure is transparent. The 5000x ceiling and the unspecified jackpot values keep its profile modest, but as a change of pace in a tired category it's one of the more well-founded choices.
