Heartbreakers Slot Review

Ever wondered why a heart shape doesn't look anything like an actual heart? We've been drawing the seed pod of an extinct Roman birth control plant 💗 called silphium.

Romans loved it so much they harvested it to extinction but two millennia later, the heart symbol's still kicking.

This is Heartbreakers slot from Pragmatic Play. No plants were harmed in the making of this game.

Gameplay

So we find ourselves looking at a theatre production. The grid sits on a stage, flanked by red crushed velvet drapes with staircases leading up to a higher tier.

There is a bit of naughty burlesque action happening as we’re about to find out. The game is accompanied by that typical saloon piano playing that we've seen in a million Westerns - it got on my nerves after a while, but that's maybe just me.

The 5x4 grid has 20 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.53%, volatility is medium/high, and the max multiplier is 10,000x. The max win is $340,000, with bets ranging from $0.20 to $34. The game is unavailable in Japanese yen.

Each reel has a multiplier above it in the special top row, which takes a new random value on every spin. Possible values are 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, and 100x. That row is where the feature payout comes from, so file it away for now.

The 10 symbol and J each pay 1x for 5-of-a-kind, while Q, K, and A all top out at 1.5x.

A taxidermy deer head (with underwear hanging off it, I’ll point out), a martini glass (with a lipstick smear), and a pair of legs strapped into cowboy boots each pay between 4x and 5x for 5-of-a-kind.

The burlesque dancer (a blonde with a blue fan held strategically over her ample charms, and who looks like she could empty your wallet by lunchtime) pays 25x for 5-of-a-kind. The red burlesque dancer (she’s opted for a cowboy hat to hide her goodies) tops the chart at 50x.

The Wild is a pink heart that pays 100x for 5-of-a-kind and replaces all symbols except the Collect and Scatter symbols. The Scatter symbol is a gold medallion and only lands on reels 1, 3, and 5.

The Collect symbols come in three colors. The Green Collect always carries a value of 1x base bet. When a Green Collect lands, the multiplier above its reel multiplies that value.

The Red Collect carries a random value of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, or 100x. When it lands, its value is multiplied by the top-row multiplier above its reel, and the result is multiplied by your base bet.

The Yellow Collect carries the same value range as the Red. When it lands, all five top-row multipliers are added together and that sum is multiplied by the symbol's value. Yellow is the most kick-ass of the three.

The mobile version looks ok, albeit a little bit busy. As is always the case with pragmatic games, you get a battery saver option, and you can also situate the SPIN button where you want.

Features

RESPIN FEATURE:

Land 3 Scatter symbols across reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger this. You get 3 respins initially, but each time a new Collect symbol hits, the respin count resets to 3.

The grid clears out to only the Green, Red, and Yellow Collect symbols (everything else is a blank). The top-row multipliers reset to 1x and start getting modified by every Collect that lands.

The Green Collect adds a random value up to +100x base bet to the multiplier above its reel. The Red Collect multiplies the multiplier above its reel by a random value between 2x and 10x.

The Yellow Collect gathers all five top-row multipliers and adds that total to the multiplier above its reel.

When the respins run out, the five multipliers in the top row are added together to form a final multiplier, which is multiplied by your base bet. That's the payout.

If multiple Collect colors land on the same spin, they pay out in this order: Green, Red, then Yellow. The round ends early if you hit the 10,000x bet cap.

BUY BONUS AND ANTE BET:

There are 4 different ways to spend extra to get yourself in the money-making modes:

Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. (3x base bet): close to 5x higher chance of triggering the Respin feature on a natural spin. RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.: 96.50%.

Super Spin (10x base bet): the top-row multipliers can ONLY land as 10x, 25x, 50x, or 100x, and any Collect symbol has a higher chance of hitting.

The catch is that you can't trigger the Respin feature during Super Spin, so you're trading the feature for souped-up base-game pulls. RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

Performance

I ran a long desktop and mobile session and didn't bump into a single glitch.

Maximum Win

You can scoop the max win of $340,000 by combining the 10,000x max multiplier with the top bet of $34. The smallest bet you can place is $0.20.

Conclusion

The Yellow Collect is what makes Heartbreakers slot worth playing. When one lands during the Respin feature, it sweeps the top row's multipliers and dumps the whole total onto a single reel.

Of the special bets, the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. is the smart spend. Natural respin trigger comes in at roughly 1 in 200 spins, and the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. drops that to about 1 in 40 for triple the cost. It pays for itself over a session of any decent length.

Super Spin is the stranger sibling. You pay 10x for a guaranteed chunky top row, but the Respin feature is locked off entirely. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. barely moves a hair (96.51% vs 96.53%). If the feature where the money lives isn't on the table, then what are you paying for?

Between the Buy options, Super Respins is the only one worth pressing. Standard Buy Respins is the same trip an Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. gets you for far less cash.

The Super Respins minimum on Green and the boosted Collect frequency change the math of what you're walking into. It's a different ride, not the same one for more money.

The max win hit rate is 1 in 9.4 million spins. Feel free to dream, but don't budget for it.

Heartbreakers slot suits a player who wants a base-game grind they can sustain (1 in 5.6 base hit rate will see to that) and a feature trigger they can chase rather than wait for.

If you're chasing the feature, the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. is the one. If you've got money to spend on a feature buy, Super Respins or skip the buys altogether.
