Pho Sho Hold and Win

We hope you are hungry for some pho as Betsoft’s Pho Sho slot is all about delicious Chinese food. From tasty meats to noodles and vegetables you will be creating your very own recipe by landing different food symbols in 20 active paylines. In the meantime, you will notice cash prize symbols appearing on the reels. These will trigger the exciting Hold and Win bonus game for additional prizes.

But that’s not all, Betsoft also has free spins prepared for you and even wilds have their own payout values. You can win up to 4000x the bet in this slot and the maximum bet is $100. RTP values go up to 96.20% which is well above average with high volatility gameplay. Let us get some quality pho and dive into this Pho Sho slot review for more details.

When you first launch the Pho Sho slot by Betsoft you will find yourself in a cozy Chinese food market-themed street. The pho vendor is eagerly waiting for your order on the 5 reels that have 4 rows. Food symbols from vegetables to noodles to meats are everywhere and you will have to arrange at least 3 identical ones in a payline. There are 20 paylines in total and wins are scored by arranging symbols starting from the left-most one to the right.

Regular symbols include the 5 low-wins that appear as card symbols A, K, Q, J and a 10. The 5 high-wins are more delicious appearing as various pho ingredients. There is also the wild symbol that looks like the pho chef and it appears in the base game and free spins on all reels.

Players can also enable autospins by clicking on the icon to the left of the spin button. This is pretty much the standard gameplay loop of the Pho Sho slot as there are not that many features in the base game.

Betsoft’s Pho Sho slot features two main ways of betting – regular bets and buying free spins. Regular bets include you wagering anywhere from $0.20 to $100 and spinning the reels. This will get you a 96.20% RTP experience. Volatility is quite high since there are two bonus modes to trigger with highly random outcomes.

Alternatively, you can buy 5, 7 or 9 free spins for 90x, 126x or 160x the bet respectively. This high-risk high-reward playstyle automatically takes you to the most exciting mode of play. In both regular bets and free spin purchases, the maximum win of the game is 4000x the original bet.

As for the 10 regular paying symbols, the most you can get is for landing 5 of them in a payline. Low-wins will pay out 5x to 7.5x the bet. High-wins will get you anywhere from 10x up to a whopping 200x the bet for noodles. Wilds also have their very own payout value which goes up to 200x the bet as well for 5 of them in a payline.

Seeing as there are no features in the base game, let us cover the bonuses of the Pho Sho slot.

Cash prize symbols land in the base game with random multipliers to the base bet. These do not serve any function in the base game and can only be collected in the bonus game. Speaking of which, landing 6 or more cash prize symbols triggers the Hold & Wins. The triggering symbols lock in place while the rest disappear from the board. You get 3 respins to fill the other spaces with as many cash prize symbols as you can.

Every time you land at least one cash prize symbol the respins refill to full. The bonus game ends either when respins run out or you fill the entire board. Note that free spins cannot trigger Hold & Wins and vice versa.

As for free spins, you only need to land 3 scatter symbols in the base game. That is, you need to land 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 5, 7 or 9 free spins. Wilds appear in free spins as well.

These two bonus game features are the main and only attractions of the Pho Sho slot by Betsoft besides wilds.
