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

Taboo review: introduction

Endorphina has gone on the risqué side of things with Taboo - a game with a sexy theme that is certainly not for the faint-hearted. There are hints of dominatrix and sex games in the symbols, and the graphics are brilliant.

You will have the chance to play on 25 paylines and there are certainly some prizes in store that will impress. The biggest amount you can walk away with is 100,000 coins. There are also a variety of bonus features to help boost your winnings as you play.

Overall theme

Taboo is one of the romance themed slot games that have become popular over recent years. Much like the Immortal Romance slot, Taboo is a slot for people who enjoyed 50 Shades of Grey. There are a lot of kinky symbols on the reels, including handcuffs, whips and paddles. This is definitely a provocative theme aimed at adults.

Taboo RTP and variance

Taboo has an RTP of 96 per cent, which is right on the industry average. This is a good sign for anyone who is interested in playing for free or for real money. The variance for this slot is high, so be careful. There is a lot of risk ahead and you will have to plough a lot of money into this game to get the rewards; however, the prizes will be for large amounts when they do eventually roll in.

Taboo bonus features

- Wild symbol

The wild symbol is represented by the red studded leather pillow in Taboo and can only appear on the second, third and fourth reels. Whenever the symbol lands on the reels, it will expand, helping to create more wins. The wild can substitute for every symbol apart from the bonus. It can only sub for one scatter for each reel.

- Red Room bonus

To trigger this bonus game, you need to land three bonus symbols on the third, fourth and fifth reels. The bonus symbol is represented by the triskele, which is the universal icon for BDSM fans. Once the symbols have landed, you will be taken through to the Triskele Wheel games. The wheel has a number of multipliers ranging from 10x to 25x your bets in addition to the Red Room bonus.

If the arrow on the wheel lands on the bonus section, you will be taken through to the Red Room game. In this round, you will pick one of five items in the hope of getting a prize. To receive a prize, you will need to make your way through five levels. If at any point you see ‘no’ on the screen, the prize for this level has not been won. The round comes to an end when all five levels have finished or when the word ‘stop’ appears.

- Risk game

The risk game enables you to double your winnings up to ten times. You will need to choose a card and hope that its value is higher than the dealers. If you win, your prize amount is doubled and you have the chance to risk it all again; if you don’t win, you forfeit your prize and the game finishes.

Our verdict

Taboo is a very uniquely themed game that won’t appeal to a lot of people. If sexy, kinky slots are your thing and you enjoy the world of BDSM, this Endorphina free slots game may be the perfect game for you.
