What beautiful carnivals are held in Rio! Sorry, not in this coronavirus year … Don’t be discouraged, you can look at the “main symbol of Brazil” in the new release by Pragmatic Play. It’s a whirlpool of colors, music, and irrepressible fun! In these days of social distancing, this game will bring you closer to recent reality and will definitely help you dream of better times.
But not just the festive theme makes this title stand out from the crowd. The base game features Money symbols that are collected by 5 different modifier collectors. Unlock the Bonus Round and win the biggest prizes by landing Mega symbols. Looking for some samba and energy during tiring isolation? Break free in the Heart of Rio!
Design&Playing field
Set against a backdrop of lush pink feathers, musical instruments, and exotic birds, there is a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines. Compose winning combinations of beautiful women, masks, alcoholic cocktails, and playing card suits to the sound of fireworks and win up to 10,500x the stake! Each win here not only thickens your wallet but also lifts your spirits with vibrant visuals.
Features
Disco balls land on the reels not to color up the party even more, but to give you exclusive prizes and modifiers! After landing 1 of 5 Collect symbols, the slot includes one of the following alternatives: Collect, Extra credit collect, Multiplier collect, Expanding collect, or Respin collect.
Just 3 Bongo Scatter symbols are enough to trigger the Bonus Round and this will give you 8 Free Spins. This is slightly less than in the new Dig Dig Digger slot, but here, all Cash symbols are collected in the bonus money bank, and the total amount is returned as a Mega Cash symbol on the last re-spin. Land the Collect Symbol on reel 5 and hit the entire Bonus Pot!
Today Heart of Rio is the latest game by the constantly evolving provider Pragmatic Play. It follows the latest hits such as Asia-themed Panda’s Fortune 2 and the excellent Wolf Gold. Start your colorful adventure through one of the most iconic street parties in the world, feel the rhythm and enjoy the fun of this fantastic slot!
Fair Verdict
The Heart of Rio seemed like an old friend to us. Why so? Because it is very similar to El Dorado City of Gold that we spun last year. It seems as though Pragmatic Play took the old release and simply changed its theme. But if we close our eyes to this, then our verdict is as follows: it is quite usable!
The cash collect system offers a faster and more intense experience compared to the standard Hold & Win. However, unlike regular Hold & Win, you don’t have the ability to build anything big – at least until you get out of the base game. The extra Bonus Bank is a nice addition to the Free Spins and can get pretty exciting for the final respin. It is difficult to land this “decisive” Collect Symbol on the last spin to get the maximum prize, but when it falls your blood will run cold!
