Romeo - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Step onto the Venetian balcony and see whether the starry skies make you fall in love with this Romeo slot from Booming Games. Perhaps you will be drawn in by the Shakespearian romance of the setting or by the wilds, scatters and free spins that are designed to make your heart skip a beat as you play. 

Romeo theme and story

The stage is set for romance and enchantment in this 3x3 game. It seems as though you are standing on a balcony in romantic Venice - rather than the Verona of the Romeo and Juliet play - but the reels are backed by the heavy drapes you would find on a theatre stage. This makes you think you are starring in some form of Shakespearean production, with reels filled with flowers, hearts, champagne and chocolate taking centre stage. The spins are accompanied by piano bar music, which is relaxing if nothing else.

How to play Romeo

Booming Games slots tend to have similar controls. If you have played the likes of Vegas Wins from Booming Games, Romeo may feel familiar; if you haven’t, don’t worry. We are on hand to tell you what you need to know:

1. This choice of free play slots starts out by showing you the crucial controls you need to play. Take note of where the tabs are located, then press the tick button to enter the main game.

Romeo bet & win sizes

The opening stake in the Romeo slot is a cautious 0.10 per spin, which should suit you if you like to eke out your playing balance for as long as possible. At the other end of the scale, the maximum bet is 500.00 per spin. Booming Games offers plenty of pretty high top bets but this is large even for this brand. High rollers should enjoy this upper limit, but make sure you only ever bet what you can reasonably afford when you play this, and any, online slot. 

Wins are awarded for matching three symbols, with the prize sizes matching the low volatility of the game. Wins for three-of-a-kind combinations range from 3x to 20x the line bet, although scatters and wilds will pay up to 50x. This means the maximum wins on offer, based on playing at the maximum bet level, are:

• Romeo scatters = 2,500.00
• Rose wilds = 2,500.00
• Romeo = 1,000.00
• Juliet = 750.00
• Ring = 500.00

Romeo bonus features

There is a range of bonus features in the Romeo game, so let’s take a look at what is on offer:

Gamble 

You will be offered the chance to gamble after landing a win. If you decide to take up the opportunity, you will be taken to a second screen for a double or nothing round. You can gamble your prize up to 10 times or until your win total reaches 10,000. Remember that a wrong guess will leave you with no win at all.

Wild

The rose wild offers a 50x prize for combinations of its own and will also trigger the two-way-pay mechanism. Land three wilds and you will be awarded 10 spins during which wins pay out from right to left in addition to left to right. Landing three more wilds will add more two-way-pay spins to your total. Wilds can also substitute for other icons except the scatters to help you build the best win possible.

Free spins

Three scatters will launch the free spins bonus. You will be awarded 10 free spins, which can be retriggered by landing three more scatters as you play.

Romeo review: our verdict

This romantic theme won’t be to everyone’s taste but it is the type of game that might persuade you to crack open a box of chocolates, pour yourself a drink and spin a few rounds whilst listening to the schmalzy piano lounge music. It is more relaxing than exciting but fans of low volatility games will enjoy the consistency offered by the frequent small wins. There is also a decent selection of bonus features, including the free spins and the wilds that start the two-way-pay mechanism.
