Every Fruit Machine has a Hold Feature, other features that must be present for a fruit machine to be considered a fruit machine include Nudge, Gamble Feature, Cash Ladder & Bonus Trail.
The Hold Feature allows the player to hold one or more reels on the next spin, sometimes the player will be awarded a number of holds and will be able to hold several of the reels for a number of spins thus increasing the chance of winning a jackpot.
The Hold feature is offered during the main part of the game and allows you to put a Hold on certain symbols in order to make a winning, or at least a better combination on the next spin. In most cases you have the option to hold one, two or three reels over until the next spin and sometimes you can hold for more than one spin depending on the specific game being played.
