Love Struck - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Love Struck is part of a series of games from Neogames that involves unusual double spiral 5x3 reels that symbols enter from two pathways. The matchmaker is a wild symbol, which substitutes for all paying symbols except the two special symbols that trigger a bonus game when they combine in the centre of the reels.

Three or more matching symbols on a vertical or horizontal line form a winning combination, which is then removed from the screen; at this point, a wild is added and more symbols fall onto the reel and more winning lines can be formed.

If a winning combination includes a wild, another matchmaker will not be added but adjacent symbols will be removed, apart from the lock and key.

If you manage to get the lock and key to combine in the centre of the spiral, the moonlit bonus round sees one symbol chosen to be replaced by the matchmaker, creating more chances to win.

There are six paying symbols. In order of value from highest to lowest, they are the ring, perfume, strawberry, rose, balloon and love heart.

Fans of this designer’s work will find more Neogames slots to play in demo mode right here at Slots Temple, including the Neogames' Fruity Cubes slot. 

Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

Love is the theme of this game, with the symbols reflecting the kind of gifts we might purchase for those close to our heart. The symbols are cartoon style and include classic presents such as a ring and roses. There is also a love heart that will remind many players of the sweet shops of their childhood.

The reel set is a spiral, which will be familiar to those who have played other Neogames slots. This one has fewer symbols than some others and is easier to follow.

In the background, balloons, plants and strange floating objects appear against a pastel backdrop.

The soundtrack is a gentle romantic harp sequence, with the sound of the symbols falling into place overlapping.

Love Struck review: our verdict

 
This is a stripped-back game, despite the designer trying to dress it up with spiral reels. First impressions suggest a fun experience, but Love Struck is anything but. There is just a wild symbol to keep us interested, with the bonus trigger of key and lock symbols really difficult to land.

To add to these frustrations, once again Neogames has been reluctant to reveal the official RTP. Until it does so, we are reluctant to recommend Love Struck; however, playing the game in demo mode here at Slots Temple will give you a feel for the payouts.
