Tom Horn Gaming will release 3 Pots of Aladdin worldwide on 22 October 2026, a high-volatility Hold & Win slot built around three separate bonus mechanics that can combine into seven feature configurations. The studio says the title uses three distinct "pots" — Jackpots, Collectors and Multipliers — which can trigger individually during Hold & Win or appear together in a stacked Super Hold & Win sequence.

Game structure and the Hold & Win trigger

3 Pots of Aladdin runs its Hold & Win bonus on a 3x3 respin grid. Each Hold & Win round starts with three respins. Coin triggers convert into Value Coins and lock in place; every new matching symbol that lands resets the respin counter to the starting number. The feature ends either when respins run out or when the grid fills with Value Coins. Filling the grid awards the Grand Jackpot.

The studio described the design as a way to vary outcomes on a familiar mechanic without making the feature confusing. Tom Horn Gaming said it implemented a “simple colour-coded system” so players can see which pot a given Coin belongs to and which mechanics are active on the grid.

The three pots: Jackpots, Collectors and Multipliers

Each pot in the title has a single, distinct purpose. Jackpots provide progressive prize tiers ending in the Grand Jackpot when the grid fills. Collectors gather value from normal play and add it to the bonus. Multipliers can increase Coin value up to x10. These pots can trigger:

  • alone, delivering a plain jackpot, collector or multiplier experience;

  • in pairs, creating hybrid bonuses with two mechanics active;

  • or all together in Super Hold & Win, where Jackpots, Collectors and Multipliers share the same grid.

Super Hold & Win is the top-end mode where every special Coin type can appear simultaneously. Tom Horn presented Super Hold & Win as the culmination of the mechanic combinations available in the base feature.

Buy options and market availability

The title includes Bonus Buy options in eligible markets. Tom Horn detailed two purchase tiers for buyers who prefer direct access to the Hold & Win sequences: a 50x total bet Bonus Buy that starts a Hold & Win round with up to three special Coins, and a 120x "Super Buy" that grants direct entry to Super Hold & Win with all three special Coins active from the outset. The studio did not disclose which jurisdictions will enable Bonus Buy at launch; it described the option only as available in eligible markets.

Volatility, maths and maximum exposure

Tom Horn positioned 3 Pots of Aladdin as a high-volatility release. The studio stated the game has a maximum exposure of 15,985.5x the stake. The release note links the high ceiling to the layered pot mechanics and the Super Hold & Win path, where combined mechanics can stack value and multipliers on a single 3x3 grid.

Product positioning and design rationale

Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, framed the title as an evolution of a mainstream mechanic. He said:

"Hold & Win remains an incredibly popular mechanic, but with 3 Pots of Aladdin we wanted to explore how we could give players more variety without losing the simplicity that makes the format so appealing."

Lapides added that the three pots provided a clear structure: each pot has a purpose — Jackpots, Collectors or Multipliers — and when they combine the bonus experience becomes progressively richer, culminating in Super Hold & Win with all three mechanics in play.

The developer emphasised keeping the feature readable for players, which it addressed with the colour-coding and by limiting the Hold & Win grid to nine positions. That choice is intended to preserve the transparent, quick-play nature that drives the Hold & Win format's popularity.

Commercial implications for operators and suppliers

For operators the title presents the familiar attraction of Hold & Win while offering more internal variability through the three-pot architecture and the two Bonus Buy price points. The presence of a 50x and 120x buy option creates clear price tiers for players seeking quicker access to bonuses; regulators and platforms in some jurisdictions will determine whether those options are live at launch.

Platform and content partners will need to check market-by-market availability for Bonus Buy and confirm the certified maximum exposure of 15,985.5x before deploying the title. The studio has positioned the product as a worldwide release on 22 October 2026.

Where this sits in the product roadmap

Tom Horn Gaming is shipping 3 Pots of Aladdin as part of its ongoing Hold & Win catalogue. The studio pitched the release as adding variety to the persistent Hold & Win pipeline while preserving the quick-to-understand feature set operators rely on for conversion.

The title will be available from 22 October 2026 worldwide, subject to market eligibility for Bonus Buy options. For operators and suppliers tracking Hold & Win performance, 3 Pots of Aladdin adds a seven-configuration bonus matrix and a clear maximum exposure figure to the developer's portfolio.

The Hold & Win bonus runs on a 3x3 respin grid that starts with three respins; Coin triggers convert into Value Coins and lock in place while each new symbol resets the respin counter. The feature ends when respins run out or the grid fills, and a full grid awards the Grand Jackpot.

Tom Horn Gaming offers a 50x total bet Bonus Buy that triggers a Hold & Win with up to three special Coins and a 120x "Super Buy" that provides direct access to Super Hold & Win with all three special Coins active from the start. Bonus Buy availability is limited to eligible markets.

The title has a maximum exposure of 15,985.5x the stake, as stated by Tom Horn Gaming in its release information. The developer links that ceiling to the combined pot mechanics and the Super Hold & Win pathway.

What mechanics do the three pots provide?

Each pot serves a separate function: Jackpots supply progressive prize tiers, Collectors accumulate additional value, and Multipliers increase Coin values up to x10. These mechanics can appear alone, in pairs, or together in Super Hold & Win on the same grid.
