Dumplings have been mentioned for the first time in a Chinese poem more than 1,700 years ago. Basically, this is a dish made of pieces of cooked dough. Inside the dough, you can find various ingredients, such as meat, fish, tofu, and cheese.
Over the centuries, dumplings have been adopted in different cultures and different continents and now, this delicious treat is loved worldwide. For me, the best ones are made from dough, cheese and meat.
I cannot tell you what the secret ingredient in chef’s dumplings is. However, I do know for a fact that each dumpling that lands on the reels carries a prize. Dumplings come with cash values and act as Scatters that trigger the Hold the Spin feature.
Apart from dumplings, the Japanese chef prepares other types of traditional Japanese food, such as sushi and noodle soup with eggs and meat. He also offers fried dumplings with soya sauce. Chef is the top-paying symbol on the reels. Wild is there to substitute for all regular symbols.
Yummy Dumplings: Hold the Spin pokie is not a complicated game. It is played on 3 reels and 5 rows. The 2025 release offers 125 ways to win. You need 3-of-a-kind to win a payout. Rather simple, eh? Betting starts at $0.10, and the biggest wager is $100 per spin.
Such a betting range will satisfy the needs of both penny punters and high rollers. Yummy Dumplings: Hold the Spin is of medium volatility and offers a 10,000x max payout. If you want, you can speed the reels up a bit by activating the lightning next to the Spin button. Also, the Gamzix title comes with 250 automatic spins. Yummy Dumplings: Hold the Spin RTP is 96.02%.
Apart from experiencing extraordinary flavours and spices, you will also be on a hunt for the Hold the Spin Bonus Game. For this, you will need 6+ dumplings on the reels at the same time. During the Bonus Game, you may end up pocketing several jackpots.
Another important thing to mention is the available multiplier that is only active during the Bonus Game. If you don’t manage to land 6+ Scatters in the same spin, you can trigger the Bonus Game through the Heap of Dumplings feature, or you can buy it.
When 6 or more dumpling Scatters land on the grid, you will trigger the Bonus. Dumplings will carry 0.5x-5x values, as well as different jackpot values. Grand Jackpot is worth 2,000x, the Major Jackpot comes with a 50x prize, while the Minor Jackpot will reward you with 20x. As for the Mini Jackpot, it is worth 10x.
Also, a dumpling carrying a multiplier may appear on the reels. You get 3 respins. Each time a new dumpling lands, the number of respins is reset to 3. Each dumpling that lands on the grid will then move to the lowest possible position on that reel.
When you land 3 dumplings on the lowest row, you collect the values of those dumplings. Then, these dumplings disappear, making room for new ones to fill the lowest row. When a multiplier dumpling lands on the lowest row, and when that row is filled, the total win multiplier, which starts at 1x, is boosted by 1x.
So, this is basically a Hold and Win feature. The feature ends when you run out of respins. I managed only once to trigger the feature by landing 6+ dumpling Scatters. My total win was 45x.
Above the reels, you will notice 2 dragons trying to eat a dumpling. They act as a sort of Bonus Meter. Each dumpling Scatter that does not trigger the Bonus Game contributes to this meter. Once the dragons are filled with gold, any consecutive spin can randomly trigger the Bonus Game.
I triggered the Bonus Game twice through the Heap of Dumplings feature. It took me around 300 spins. My biggest win here was 55x.
Another way to trigger the Bonus Game is through the Bonus Buy option, which costs 50x the bet. I do not recommend this option because, in most cases, you will win less than you paid for. The most I won through it is 30x.
Yummy Dumplings: Hold the Spin pokie machine is extremely easy to play. It made my mouth water and I craved Asian food while I tested the Gamzix product.
The Hold the Spin Bonus Game is something that you can find in plenty of slots from Gamzix.
What the 2025 release lacks is action. I would have liked it if the Yummy Dumplings: Hold the Spin offered an additional feature, such as free spins, for example.
Nevertheless, I think that all Kiwis who love dumplings will try this pokie machine. I rate Yummy Dumplings: Hold the Spin 7.7.
