Introduction to Harvest Heroes
Harvest Heroes is a casino slot from LeoVegas Studios that takes you to a small, quaint farm where big wins grow right out of the ground. While thematically quite simple, LeoVegas Studios, for being a new studio, has been pretty good at spicing up some of the more standard themes that we see in the industry. Harvest Heroes isn’t anything crazy, just a couple of anthropomorphic animals that decided that life at the farm may not be so bad, deciding to grow some standard crops. However, we’re not here for any other crop, as the real weight comes in the Carrot Harvest Collection mechanic, where you have Cash Carrot Symbols worth up to 250X the bet, with a handful of farmers that can bring with them some additional modifiers such as Respins or Expansions. This is tied in with the Free Spins feature that comes with progressively more volatile spins as you level up and add on more and more Farmer bonuses to your spins, so you can reach the max win of 5,000X the bet.
Take to the field and start nourishing your own big wins. If you want to try your hand at farmlife, then be sure to check out Harvest Heroes.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Harvest Heroes is a video slot from LeoVegas Studios with 5 Reels, 3 Rows, and 20 Paylines. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.2 and a Max.bet of 200. Harvest Heroes comes with a lower-than-average RTP of 95.08% and high volatility, where wins can come in big spikes and have a long time between them, but at any moment, you might just hit the max win of 5,000X the bet.
Set on a rather big farm, here you’ll find a wide range of crops, tools, and of course, the occasional gopher trying to snag a snack. While nothing crazy, this is coupled with a cozy banjo soundtrack that makes you feel like part of the South. You can play the game on most notepads, mobiles, and desktops.
The lower-paying symbols are Spades, Hoes, Rakes, Scythes, and Clippers. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are carrots, watermelons, pumpkins, berry bushes, and gophers. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 10X to 100X the bet. The Special Symbols that you’ll find are Wilds, Cash Carrots, and the different types of Collect Farmer Symbols, but more on those in the next section.
Special Features & Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Harvest Heroes?

What features are available in the slot Harvest Heroes?
The features are Wild Symbols, Carrot Cash Symbols, Farmer Collect Symbols, Reveal Bonus, Free Spins, Feature Buy, and Ante Bet.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols help farm winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Scatter and Farmer Symbols.
Carrot Cash Symbols
Carrot Symbols both work as a standard payline symbol and as a Cash Symbol, as when they land, they will come in 3 different forms with varying Cash Prizes based on the current bet, ranging from 0.25X to 250X the bet. The Cash Prizes can only be collected by landing a Farmer Symbol on the same spin.
Farmer Collect Symbols
There are 3 types of Farmer Symbols, which, when landing on the reels, will collect all Carrot Cash Symbol values. The 3 different Farmer Symbols are as follows:
Goat Farmer Symbol = Will collect all visible Carrot Cash Symbols.
Cow Farmer Symbol = Whenever the Cow Farmer Symbol lands on the reels, it will trigger a Hold n Spin modifier, giving the reels a Respin for a chance to land Carrot Cash Symbols, and will continue to Respin until no additional Carrot Cash Symbols land. After this, it will collect all visible Carrot Cash Symbols.
Bunny Farmer Symbol = Whenever a Bunny Farmer Symbol lands, an Expansion modifier triggers, expanding any Cash Carrot Symbols on the reels, before collecting their value.
Reveal Bonus
During the Base Game, the Reveal Bonus can trigger randomly to help trigger any form of feature, be it by landing 2 Scatter Symbols, it will show up with an extra 3rd to trigger the Free Spins bonus game, or if you land Cash Carrot Symbols without a Farmer, the Reveal Bonus may trigger to randomly add a Farmer Symbol to the reels.
Free Spins
By landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 10, 12, or 15 spins. During the Free Spins feature, all Farmer Symbols are active, and for every 4th Farmer that lands, the bonus game will level up, awarding +5 Spins and a new Multiplier. The levels go from 1, 2, 3, and 4, with Multipliers rising as 1X, 2X, 3X, and 10X. After the 4th level, no more retriggers or additional Spins can be won.
Feature Buy
Through the Feature Buy option, you can instantly enter the bonus game for a price based on the current bet.
60X = Instantly awards the Free Spins feature.
Ante Bet
By turning on the Ante Bet, you increase your chance of landing Scatter Symbols, but for an increase of 100% to your current bet.
Final Thoughts on Harvest Heroes
LeoVegas Studios really loves to take any type of theme and turn it into animals, for some reason, as we’ve seen with Capybara Carnival, Where Pigeons Dare, and Hoodlums Bark City. Personally, we’re not complaining, as these games are pretty fun and come with quite some charm that we do enjoy. Harvest Heroes is kinda in the same vein, as while gameplay-wise it’s nothing spectacular, and neither is its theme, but the way it has been delivered is quite fun, with some good visuals to boot. But we think most of you are more interested in its gameplay and features, so let’s move over to discuss that in more detail.
Starting with the stats, we sadly have a pretty low RTP of 95.08% and an okay max win of 5,000X the bet. When it comes to the gameplay loop, there are a few fun bonuses that can make a spin interesting, and those come from the Farmer Symbols, but more importantly, the Cow and Bunny Farmer Symbols, as the Goat one doesn’t really do much special. In the base game, all of these are active and can land on any spin, and while the payouts are nothing crazy, they can be balanced out by the pretty solid paytable. The features really shine when we enter the Free Spins feature instead, as here we have a progressive level system whenever we land Farmer Symbols, awarding us extra spins and Multipliers, up to 10X, which can make any Carrot Cash Symbol a bountiful harvest. Harvest Heroes isn’t anything crazy, but it's a cozy and fun game at its core that delivers on volatile spins and the occasional big wins through a combination of features. If your interest has been piqued, then be sure to give the Harvest Heroes demo a try.
Harvest Heroes is a slot about harvesting Carrots for big wins, and the Farmer Symbols and the Free Spins feature are here to help.
