Heaven of 7 Releases Kitsune's Fortune, a Japanese-Folklore Hold and Win Slot With a 5,000x Max Win

Heaven of 7, described as the proprietary slot studio of VeliTech, has released Kitsune's Fortune: Hold and Win, a Japanese-folklore slot with a stated 5,000x maximum win, according to a company release dated 6 November 2026.

Kitsune's Fortune is a Hold and Win title, a format in which special symbols lock in place while a small number of respins play out. It runs on a 5x3 grid with 15 paylines and uses two special symbols, Bonus and Collect. The studio says every Bonus prize depends on a Collect symbol landing first, which makes the Collect symbol the center of the game's design.

The launch follows a run of new slots this month, including Pragmatic Play's Sweet Loot and BGaming's Wild Cash Gold.

Key specifications

The figures below are the company's own. Return to player (RTP) is the share of wagers a slot is designed to pay back over a very large number of spins.

How the Collect symbol drives payouts

Bonus symbols can land only on the first and last reels, according to the company. Each carries either a fixed value between 1x and 8x the bet or one of the four jackpots. None of those values is paid on its own. They are collected only when a Collect symbol lands on the middle reel, at which point all visible Bonus values are added together and paid on top of any payline wins.

The Hold and Win feature starts under a similar condition: Bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3 and a Collect symbol on reel 2. The feature awards three respins. Any additional Bonus symbol that lands resets the respin counter, so a round can run longer when symbols keep arriving. It ends once no respins remain.

The respin-and-reset structure is a familiar one. Gamingo has covered earlier takes on it, including BGaming's God of Wealth: Hold and Win and Sky Pearls: Hold & Win. Kitsune's Fortune differs by tying even ordinary Bonus values to a Collect symbol on a fixed reel.

Pile Feature and Buy Bonus

The Pile Feature can trigger on any base-game spin. It adds Collect and Bonus symbols at random, which can produce a collect win or set off Hold and Win without the usual landing pattern. The company presents it as a way to keep base-game spins eventful between bonus rounds.

Players who prefer not to wait can use one of two Buy Bonus options. Each gives paid access to the Hold and Win respins. A Buy Bonus lets a player pay a multiple of the bet to enter a bonus round directly. Availability depends on the rules of each operator and jurisdiction, and the release does not list prices.

Link-style respin mechanics are also appearing elsewhere this week, as in Games Global and Foxium's Arthur Kingdom of Spins Link&Win.

What the studio says

Irakli Kakhidze, named in the release as CEO at VeliGames, said the respins lead to wins of up to 5,000x. He called the slot "another must-play addition to operators' line-ups." The release gives no operator partners or rollout schedule.

The 94.5% RTP is lower than the roughly 96% quoted by many headline slots, so operators comparing portfolios may weigh it against the game's medium-high volatility and the 5,000x ceiling. The 5,000x figure also sits well below the 10,000x and 25,000x maximums stated for the other new slots Gamingo has covered this month.

Status reviewed on 6 November 2026. The key figures come from the company's launch release as republished by trade press. More slots news and EMEA coverage.
