Heartburst Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction

Do you need a bit of colour in your life? Don’t be fooled, as this is not your average fruit-based slot. Imagine the fruit machines of your childhood improved by the possibilities of technology and you will be imaging something like Heartburst.

The bonus features and icons you remember are all here, such as the lucky seven, the bell and the bar.

This game is free to play in demo mode here at Slots Temple, which we recommend to familiarise yourself with the gameplay before deciding whether to play for real at an online casino.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The fruits here are depicted in a modern, juicy graphic style but are not so futuristic that they detract from the overall nostalgic mood. The playing cards similarly have a nod to the past with the red, gold and green colour scheme so prevalent in physical slot machines, but with luxe touches.
 
The silky purple background bears more than a passing resemblance to the nation’s favourite chocolate brand. If you are going to let this game make you hungry, try to focus on the fruit!

The expanding hearts feature is a sweet addition to the visuals and serves to remind you that this is a romance slot.

The music continues the retro theme but it is not a synthesised imitation of seafront arcade jingles. This is a fully produced synthwave track that sounds like it belongs on the score of a classic movie such as Beverly Hills Cop or Mannequin. It gets a bit messy once you start playing the reels, as it clashes uncomfortably with the game sound effects. You could always turn it off to avoid this, which is a shame as it is one of the best things about the game.

Heartburst RTP & volatility

The RTP of Heartburst is 95.63 per cent. It is a high volatility online slot, which means higher risk and the larger payouts will be few and far between.

Heartburst bonus features

- Scatter

The lucky seven was a fixture of the traditional fruit machines of our hazy childhood dreams; now, it is the game’s scatter symbol. If you land three, four or five lucky sevens anywhere on the reels, you will be looking at 15, 20 or 25 free games respectively. You can retrigger this feature 15 times.

- Heart substitute

This suitably charming symbol only appears on reels one, three and five and can stand in for any symbol apart from the lucky seven. It can expand to cover all positions on the reels before wins are awarded. The prize is tripled when the heart appears in a line win.

- Gamble bonus

When this comes into play, it pays double or nothing on the last win if you select correctly from one of two options. This continues until you select ‘take win’ or have made five correct choices.

Our verdict

Who could fail to be seduced by a good old-fashioned fruit machine? You can almost smell the warm, sugary doughnuts and candy floss; however, don’t fall too hard for the sugar overload. Heartburst is a high volatility slot and could be a devil in sheep’s clothing for those new to online slots. Even experienced players might want to make use of the loss limit feature during autoplay sessions.

Before we get too cynical, how many old-school slots allowed you to retrigger free spins rounds 15 times? Eyecon has done a good job of updating a classic with Heartburst - just make sure that you play with your head and not your heart.
