William Tell and The Wild Arrows Hold and Win Review
The only thing this reviewer knew about William Tell is that he allegedly shot an apple off the head of his own son. This is according to the legend at least, but he was apparently also instrumental in establishing the Swiss Confederacy by assassinating the tyrannical Albrecht Gessler. This started the rebellion against the foreign rulers, and cemented Tell as a folk hero for the people of what became Switzerland.
Enough with the history lesson already, and this iSoftBet release comes with decent cartoonish visuals and somewhat innovative features. At least the Split Zone you get in the Hold & Win bonus is somewhat original, and it splits both empty position and cash symbols in 4 when arrows hit. You will also benefit from 2 random base game modifiers, and the 535x potential is okay for a low to medium volatile installment like this.

The premium symbols pay between 6 and 16 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and William Tell is the top-tier symbol. You can land wild symbols on all reels, and these step in for pay symbols to help complete line wins. There are a couple of base game modifiers, in addition to the Hold & Win round, and we’ll take a closer look at it all below.

The William’s Wild Arrow can trigger at random times at the end of a base game spin, and this turns up to 5 random symbols wild.
The Gessler’s Greed feature can trigger at the start of any given base game spin, and this removes all low-value royal symbols for the current spin.You need at least 5 Respin symbols in view to trigger the Hold & Win Bonus Round, and the triggering symbols become sticky on the otherwise cleared bonus round grid. The triggering symbols come with random cash prizes worth 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x, or 100x your stake, and you start with 3 respins. Landing new sticky cash prize symbols resets the respins tally to 3 each time it happens.
Arrows can hit empty positions at random times, and this divides the position into 4 positions. The feature is called Split Zone, and it basically gives you more positions to land cash prize symbols. The arrows can also hit cash prize symbols, and this splits the symbol into 4 symbols of the same value as the original symbol.
Hitting a cash prize symbol with an arrow counts as a win, and this also resets the respins tally to 3 again.
This does not happen when an empty position is split, however, and you can also land Special Prize symbols of higher value than the regular cash prizes. These are the Minor, Major, and Grand prizes, and they are worth 20x, 50x, or 100x your stake, respectively.Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the Hold & Win Bonus for 60x the stake. This gives you a higher RTP of 96.4 %, and the feature has an organic hit rate of 1 in 171 spins on average.

You get to see a decent wild win in the base game, before we purchase the Hold & Win bonus round at 1:10 into the almost 3 minute long highlights video. We got the minimum of 5 triggering cash prize symbols, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
William Tell is perhaps most famous for shooting an apple off the head of his own son, but this motif has not been included in iSoftBet’s William Tell and The Wild Arrows Hold and Win. You get plenty of shooting arrows though, and the 2 base game modifiers does help to keep the grind a bit more interesting. This is a typical iSoftBet release in most regards, but at least they have taken the time and effort to try to do something a bit more original than usual.
This developer churns out plenty of hold & win games each year, many of which are run of the mill stuff, but we enjoyed the Split Zone feature you get in this game. It adds randomness to an otherwise tediously common bonus round, but the 100x top prize isn’t all that impressive. The same can be said about the overall 535x potential, but then again; this is a low to medium volatility installment clearly aimed at casual punters.
Pros
- Up to 5 wild transformations at random times
- Low-value symbols removal at random times
- Hold & Win Bonus w/ position/symbol splitting
- Grand prizes up to 100x in the feature
Cons
- Max win of only 535x your stake
