About Heart of Romance
Developed by Konami – who are usually more famous for their console-based games – Heart of Romance is a 5-reel, 30-line slot which debuted in 2017. The slot machine is loosely based on a masquerade ball and features a rather simple but adjustable wagering range. Players will find that below the reels of diamonds, gemstones and fancy masks are a set of options which allow them to select coin values which range from 0.01 up to 0.25 and bet either 1 or 2 coins per line. All 30 lines are fixed, though, so players are looking at total bets which stem from 0.30 per spin up to 15.00 a spin, respectively. This inexpensive slot can see you win up to 500 coins if you land 5 masked woman symbols on a payline. The game features an RTP (return to player) rate of 96.06%.
Special Features
Substitute symbols appear as crystal hearts, and these icons can substitute for all other symbols barring scatters. They can only appear on the third reel of the slot, though, which is bitterly disappointing.
Scatter icons appear as golden diamonds and these symbols can dish out wins worth up to 1,000 coins (more than the standard paying icons) if you land 5 anywhere on the reels during a base game spin.
Bonus Feature
When 3 or more of the scatter icons appear on the reels of the game, a free spin bonus round will begin. In that feature, players can select one of 5 possible free spin options. A total of 3, 5, 10 or 20 free games can be selected, with wilds turning into wild multipliers. The value of the multipliers rises the fewer free games you choose to play with. The fifth option is a mystery choice, with players able to land a random number of free spins with random multipliers selected for the free spin bonus round. The feature can be retriggered if players land 3 or more scatter icons on the reels while the bonus is being played.
