Heart of Rio by Pragmatic Play

This carnival-themed video slot from Pragmatic Play has five reels and 25 paylines. Money symbols can be collected on reels 1 through 4.

Up to 10,500 times your stake can be won in this medium-volatility game.

Heart of Rio Slot Bonus Features

You can form winning combinations using wild symbols instead of regular pay symbols. In this case, the wild symbol is the woman with red hair ornaments. There are only four locations where the Lady can appear: reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. On reels 1 to 4, you will see cash symbols attached to the disco ball. The following outcomes are available if one of the five collect symbols appears simultaneously on reel five:

Collect – each money symbol's value is added up, and then it is paid out.

Extra Credit Collect – Each money symbol is given an extra credit value.

Multiplier Collect – The multiplier in which the money symbols are collected is multiplied before they are collected.

Expanding Collect – When all pay symbols appear on the reels, all winnings are added up.

Respin Collect - As a result of the respin collect, all money symbols become sticky, and all positions respin again. Money symbols are summed up and paid out after the respin.

Three bongo drum scatter symbols on reels 2 to 4 trigger the Bonus round; this awards eight free spins.

Conclusion

It's a nice touch to have the respin collect feature. The game is similar to hold and wins, but it's better and takes place on the same reels. In addition, Pragmatic Play did a good job creating that carnival atmosphere by combining sound effects, background music, and symbols.

As a whole, Heart of Rio is a solid release that we enjoyed playing.
