Heartburst Slot

Graphics

Retro slots are very much à la mode, so to see our game symbols taking shape as Jacks through Aces, topped off with Lemons, Watermelons, Oranges, Grapes, Cherries, Bells and BARs is as welcome as it is expected.

All symbols shine out from the 5x4 reel setup, and all light up with effervescent brightness when we score winning combinations. The Heart Wild expands to fill the reel it lands on when it forms one or more winning combinations, sending tiny hearts bursting up across the reels floating from the bottom to the top and offering an explanation to the slot’s title.

Expect a freshening of the reels and our backdrop when we land Lucky 7s to launch the Free Games feature, with the backdrop bedecked in bright bold blue.

Gameplay

With 100 paylines on offer, we most likely will want to spin across all paylines. But in true retro slots fashion Eyecon allows us to toggle our bet per line, giving us the option to drop down to even a single payline if we so choose.

Doing so will minimise our chances of winning, but it does offer extra strategy options when playing the long game so is always worth considering. The funky riff that accompanies our gameplay ushers into the Free Games feature when we land three, four or five Lucky 7 Scatters anywhere across the reels.

The muted purple hues give way to a fresh blue background as we enter the feature and, with 15, 20 or 25 free games won respectively, we look to pick up as many regular wins and Wild wins as we can to take back to the base game. Or not. We can retrigger the Free Games feature by landing the requisite number of Scatters during the bonus round.

Verdict

Retriggering a bonus feature just once is always a joyous affair for any slots fan but, if we are to retrigger the Heartburst Free Games feature anywhere near the maximum of 15 times, our own hearts will be bursting with more than just pride.

Overall, the funky soundtrack and lively gameplay make the Heartburst slot one that we are sure to keep coming back to, as playable on mobile as it is on desktop. Any game with 100 paylines and Expanding Wilds is sure to find favour in any casino house’s catalogue, and Heartburst is up there with the best of them.
