Even if Valentine’s Day may have passed us all by for another year, that’s no reason to ignore those games which have themes of love and romance. Love Bugs is an online slot from Microgaming which squeezes in every romance-related cliche and symbol in what at first glance is an attractive-looking game. Herbie does not feature.
Love Bugs plays out over five reels and twenty paylines and when you load up the game you will immediately notice the bugs themselves on either side of the reels. Cartoon hearts flood the foot of the screen and there’s a row of cute-looking houses under a cloud-dotted sky in the background.
All the symbols are related to the theme and include a love letter, chocolates, flowers, champagne, a gold necklace, perfume, a violin, a huge diamond ring and a heart shape containing a view of Venice.
The two love bugs are wild and they also trigger the main feature while there’s an arrow-pierced heart which acts as the scatter symbol.
Bonus Features
Love Bugs Free Spins
There are up to forty free spins up for grabs here and to win them you’ll need to land the Lady Bug on reel one and the Love Bug on reel five.
You will now get to watch a short sequence in which the bugs float along a Venetian canal and beneath four bridges; prizes fall from these bridges and that might be a diamond ring which will double your price money or a necklace which will be worth ten spins. Catch all four necklaces and you’ll win forty spins but catch none and, as you can see in the video below, you’ll just win some prizes. When this has been completed the spins will begin.
Gamble Feature
If you’d like to wager that most recent win then all you have to do is click the ‘Gamble’ button below the reels. You can now try and double or quadruple your winnings by correctly picking the playing card’s colour or suit.
Love Bugs Online Slot Playing Tips
Take care with the gamble feature – using it constantly is a surefire way to lose all your winnings. Use it only occasionally and don’t bank on trying to beat the odds.
Verdict
This is a really nice-looking slot with some interesting sound effects and lots of cute characters. Forty free spins and a potential doubling of the prizes gives the feature an extra attraction.
