Hearts Desire Slot Review

Hearts Desire Slot Overview

Hearts Desire is a new casino slot from Betsoft where we get soaked with love in a galactic setting. Wait a minute, isn’t Betsoft celebrating the wrong holiday? Christmas is rapidly approaching, and by now, we are very much used to seeing new Christmas slots popping up. But lo and behold, they might be coming to an end. Now, we love Santa and his games filled with gifts and snow, but we have gotten a little too spoiled lately, so we are urging for a change in scenery. Hearts Desire provides just that, with its ever-ascending hearts and pink visuals. It’s set to release a few weeks before Valentine's Day, so perhaps, we’re just shifting holidays. Let’s take a look!

Hearts Desire is a video slot from Betsoft that features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 30 paylines. Players can choose between a wide range of bet sizes, with a Min.bet of 0.30 and a Max.bet of 120. The game has an RTP of 96.13%, but it's unclear how much of that goes toward the jackpot. Its hit frequency of 22.36% means that, on average, you can expect a winning combination on almost every 4th spin. Hearts Desire is played at high volatility and offers a regular game max win of 1787x, but you can win much more than that in the progressive jackpot. 

In Hearts Desire, we are shown love by Betsoft in the form of some intriguing mechanics. The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Stacked Mystery Symbols, Free Spins, and Progressive Jackpot Feature.

Hearts Desire Slot Information

Either we’re hallucinating on some crazy mushrooms, or we’re located on a magic planet. The ground is pink and hilly, with heart-shaped bubbles rising from it. Occasionally, a bright light travels from one side to the other, perhaps it’s an extraterrestrial being. We have no idea; we’re no astrophysicists. We are, however, lovers of beautiful slot games, and although we can’t confirm our whereabouts, we can establish that this is a gorgeous setting. 

Hearts Desire can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels within the game’s lines, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols include cherries, watermelons, grapes, and bananas. A full line of 5 with one of these pays 1.66x-2x the bet. The higher-paying symbols consist of oranges, 7s, and diamonds. Five-of-a-kind with these will pay 6.66x-33.3x the bet. Wild symbols substitute for other paying symbols and Scatter symbols (hearts) can trigger the Free Spins feature.

What is the max win in the slot Hearts Desire?

You can win up to 1787x the bet during the regular game, but the progressive jackpot sits at €80.000 on the demo version at the time of writing this. 

What features are available in the slot Hearts Desire?

The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Stacked Mystery Symbols, Free Spins, and Progressive Jackpot Feature.

Wild Symbol

Wild symbols enable more winning combinations by substituting for other paying symbols. These appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. 

Scatter Symbol

Golden hearts can appear on all reels. Landing 5 or more triggers the Free Spins feature.

Stacked Mystery Symbols

Each reel contains Stacked Mystery symbol positions that are replaced with one random paying symbol before each reel spin is initiated. All Mystery symbol positions are filled with the same symbol. 

Free Spins

Landing 5 or more Scatter symbols awards 5 Free Spins. Before the feature begins, the values on all Scatters are added to a cumulative meter. Landing regular Scatters during Free Spins adds its value to the meter and awards an additional Free Spin. What you want to look out for is pink hearts. These will win what’s accumulated in the meter and can also multiply it by 2x, 3x, or 5x. 

Progressive Jackpot Feature

No specific symbols are needed to trigger the Progressive Jackpot. Instead, it is triggered randomly after all reels have stopped spinning. The chances of activating it increase with the size of your bet. When you enter the feature, you’ll get to spin a wheel, awarding you the Minor, Mini, Mega, or Major jackpot. Since the game is not out at the time of writing this, it’s unclear what the real payouts will be, but since it’s a progressive jackpot, it only gets reset when someone wins it. 

Hearts Desire Slot Conclusion

They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, yet it is very natural to do so. A game’s visuals are the first thing you’ll notice when hitting the enter button, so making a good first impression is crucial. Betsoft has created a pretty game with a distinct look, so we were intrigued from the get-go. The grid itself is not innovative, as it’s a standard 5x3 grid with common symbols, but the frame is something new. Love is in the air!

When we saw the symbols and mechanics, we were a little worried that this was going to be another Link&Win/Hold&Win type slot. Not that we have anything against those, but as they are seen so frequently, we just don’t get as excited anymore. However, Hearts Desire doesn’t function in the same way. Instead of having to land a certain amount of hearts in the same spin to reach a certain threshold, it’s all about building the accumulated value over time, which creates a different gameplay experience.

Hearts Desire by Betsoft takes us on a trippy journey filled with love, stars, and a progressive jackpot!
