Lovefool Slot ᐈ Demo game + Review

Lovefool slot review

With the release timed perfectly for Valentine’s Day (Sunday 14th of February 2021, in case you needed the reminder), Playtech Vikings comes up with a sugar-sweet darling called Lovefool. These kinds of games offer the casinos a chance at coughing up theme-specific promos a couple of days a year, with the faint hope that some romantically inclined punters might also find their way to this title for some off-season indulgence.

The non-ironic, glossy and sugar-laden visual presentation will turn off a lot of players up front. However, underneath it all is a pretty decent math model, and some features that might just be enough to keep a certain crowd interested. You can land 50,000x jackpots here, which is more than enough to impress your dream date, and the classic Streak Respins feature is spiced up with a guaranteed multiplier.

Lovefool Slot Features

The gift box wild can land on the 3 middle reels only, and it will step in for all regular pay symbols, like wilds usually do. Whenever you land a gift box wild, it will expand to cover the full reel. You can thus land up to 3 fully expanded wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 via the Expanding Wild feature.

The heart symbol lands on reels 1, 2 and 3 only, and it comes with cash values between 1x and 100x your stake. To collect the cash symbols on the 3 first reels however, you’ll need to also land 2 bouquet scatters at the same time. The scatters will land on reels 3, 4 and 5 only.

One of the bouquet scatters turns into a heart cash symbol, while the other scatter turns into a random multiplier up to 5x. The cash values are then summed up, and the multiplier is applied in the end. Landing 2 bouquet scatters alone is enough to trigger this feature, and this can lead to a 500x payout with maximum luck.

Landing 3 bouquet scatters on the same spin triggers the Valentines Bonus Round. All present heart cash symbols become sticky, and 2 of the scatters turn into sticky cash symbols also. The third scatter becomes the sticky multiplier symbol.

A Hold & Respins feature (also called Hold & Win or Streak Respins sometimes) will then ensue. You will only land new heart cash symbols, blanks or special award jackpot symbols during the feature, and a spin with only blanks will effectively end the bonus round.

Once you’ve filled the screen with symbols, or you land a blanks only respin, all your cash values are collected and the multiplier is applied. There are 3 fixed jackpots up for grabs during the Streak Respins feature, and the Special Award symbols will reveal which Jackpot prize you win once the cash symbol winnings have been summed up. You need 3 matching jackpot symbols to win the corresponding Jackpot:

• Minor Jackpot equals 250x your stake.
• Major Jackpot equals 2,500x your stake.
• Grand Jackpot equals 50,000x your stake.

The 200 Spins Lovefool Slot Experience

We landed an okay 2 scatters win which revealed a 2x multiplier. Nothing else worth remembering happened in the base game, but we trigger the Hold & Respins feature at 1:28 into the 3-minute highlights video you can check out below. A 3x multiplier was revealed, and we ended up winning just enough for a romantic Valentine’s dinner on McDonald’s alone.

Review Summary

Lovefool slot is a perfect symbol of what Valentine’s Day has come to represent as a cultural phenomenon. It’s about as cheesy, superficial and commercialized as you can get, with a pair of glossy hipster couples that look like D-list wannabe actors from a reality show thrown in for good measure. Nothing spells romance like a plastic heart gemstone with cold, hard cash values in front, right.

What saves this from total disaster is the math model. A 50,000x jackpot is respectable, although it’s far from easy to land 3 matching jackpot symbols of the most valuable kind. The guaranteed multiplier saves the day when it comes to Hold & Respins feature, making larger payouts possible. Fans of chick flick shows like Sex and the City might enjoy this game, while others might find it nauseating.

If you love Lovefool Slot you should also try:

Stacked Valentine Hearts - is Inspired Gaming’s contribution to this rather ephemeral genre, and it’s a reskin of Fire 7s. You can land wilds on the 3 middle reels, and only higher paying symbols and wilds will land in the bonus round.

Wild Valentines - is a somewhat clever low/med volatility title from Spinmatic, and you can look forward to moving couple wilds meeting up on the reels to generate multiplier love. All the features are spun around this concept, and you can win up to 500x your stake.

Lucky Valentine - is a Red Tiger title with 5 reels and 20 win ways. The volatility is medium to high, as in the game at hand, and you can win up to 800x your stake. You’ll benefit from wilds, bonus games and free spins here, and the cartoon style visuals are refreshingly non-serious.
