Rhyming Reels: Hearts and Tarts Slot

Hearts and Tarts is another game of the Rhyming Reels series that is centered around a traditional nursery rhyme that goes about a queen who baked some cookies; a knave stole the cookies and was then punished by the king. Symbols used in the slot seem to relate this short story in a graphical way, and here we see a fat queen as a high-paying symbol, oven gloves, tarts to name but a couple. The slot features stacked wilds and free spins with the potential to win over 2 million coins. Coin denominations are available in three values: $0.01, $0.02 and $0.05. Each of the 30 paylines accepts 1 to 10 coins so a bet starts at $0.3 and reaches $15 per spin.

Most of the wins on the paytable are quite good, especially high-paying symbols represented by themed symbols. Playing cards are traditionally low-paying symbols, with the top prize being x100 for five Aces. The top prize that regular symbols produce is $500; this is awarded for getting five fat queens along an active payline. Special symbols reviewed below create more profitable combos.

Bonus features

The Queen is a regular symbol that comes stacked in a base game and free spins. This means that Queen symbols often appear on top of each other on a reel, thus, covering a part of or the entire reel. Stacked symbols normally increase chances for creating a combination and lead to multiple winning paylines.

The Hearts And Tarts logo is a wild and also the top jackpot symbol. It pays x4000 ($2000 at max) when five occur on a row. Four wilds produce the third largest jackpot of x1250 ($625 at max).

The slot has a scatter symbol depicted by the Golden Crown. Along with paying scatter wins of x2 to x200 ($3000), three Crowns give access to 10 free spins that add a x2 multiplier to all winning values. Moreover, all payouts are multiplied by x4 when the wild is a part of a winning combination. Finally, the wild appears in stacks in free spins, so there is a probability (though certainly very small) of getting the entire gaming screen filled with wilds.
