Slot Summary

Cooked occupies the narrow space between character-led Food comedy and a modifier-heavy Cluster Pays game. Hold Your Hat uses its debut release to follow a shipwrecked chef whose island kitchen is interrupted by animal feature symbols. Cascades, an expanding play area, symbol changes, and multipliers turn each qualifying cluster into a chance for several different effects to interact before the sequence ends.

How It Plays

Winning clusters remove their symbols and allow replacements to fall into the cleared positions. Another qualifying group repeats the Cascade without requiring a new paid spin.

Feature symbols collected from a winning arrangement enter an inventory and activate after the refill. Their effects can transform symbols, improve values, or enlarge the available area.

Theme & Atmosphere

Food becomes the source of conflict rather than simple decoration, with a stranded chef attempting an extreme recipe from a makeshift island kitchen.

Fantasy enters through the animal cast that resists the chef and directly affects play. The comic premise gives each modifier a character role instead of presenting abstract icons.

Fantasy Food

Features & Win Potential

Cascading and Cluster Pays provide the repeat-win loop, while Expanding Reels create more room for later symbol groups during an active sequence.

Additive Symbols, Substitution Symbols, and Random Multipliers alter the refilled arrangement in different ways. Reelset Changing allows those effects to reshape the available play area.

Bonus & Free Spins

The Bonus Game retains a Multiplier across its continuing drops, allowing later Cascading sequences to benefit after earlier results have raised the value.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (94.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
