American Idol pioneered the trend of reality talent TV shows and now there is a minimum of one such themed show in every country around the world. Spadegaming is using this concept for its latest slot “Love Idol“.
Players are taken to Japan where they get to meet some of their idols on the show. The game takes place on a concert stage, with the game’s grid at the center of it all. The game soundtrack is also full of pop tunes to get bring this theme to life.
The action takes place on a 5 x 3 grid. There are 243 ways to win the max cash jackpot of $4,000. The betting range for this game starts out at $0.50 while the maximum wager of $100.
The high minimum bet of $0.50 will make it difficult for players with a limited bankroll to enjoy this slot. The betting range makes this slot more suitable for mid-stakes and high stakes players.
The lower part of the table is occupied by the card royals which are the low paying symbols. Players will then be hoping to score the premium symbols like headphones, earrings, sunglasses, a microphone and lips. There are a couple of special symbols. One is the Pop Star Wild and the other is the Heart Scatter which is useful for getting some special wins.
Special Features
The game is pretty good when it comes to special features which make things exciting. The Wild symbol can substitute for all other regular symbols but only appears on the last four reels. When they land, they stay on the grid and move one step to the right with each spin. This can mean more wins for the player in the long run.
Players can also activate the Ante Bet Feature. This increases the total bet by 1.2x. The main benefit is that when a player enters the free spins round, they have more Wild reels. For free spins, players need to land three or more scatters. They will get eight free spins and one or two wild reels if the Ante Bet feature is active. These reels will move one step to the right or left during reach spin. Wild Reels make it even easier to win so paying for them can be worth it.
Spadegaming‘s Love Idol is a medium volatility slot that is definitely worth a few spins.
