Hearts Desire review

Theme and Storyline

Hearts Desire is themed around hearts and fruit.

In this vintage casino world, players will dance their way to a selection of fruits, including grapes, oranges, and watermelons. All the while, players will need to watch out for gleaming golden hearts and sparkling diamonds.

This slot will particularly appeal to players who enjoy fruit machine themes.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack brings to mind ‘80s sci-fi films, with plenty of digital notes and a dreamy melody. The reels spin with a dramatic swish as the rhythm of the music picks up. The chimes that celebrate wins give a nod to classic casino games.

The reels are filled with vivid animations of fruit, including glossy cherries that look ripe and ready to be eaten, and a cute bunch of yellow bananas.

Rounded hearts made of gold give a nod to the slot’s name, but the gleaming diamond symbols are the most striking. With fiery light catching them, these gems seem to be lit from within.

Upon spins, tiny glowing hearts float up among the reels, adding some on-theme excitement.

Together, the soundtrack and animation give Hearts Desire a retro casino feel.

Gameplay

Hearts Desire is a five-reel, three-row slot, with 30 win lines.
