The new Heart of Rio online slot from Pragmatic Play first arrived at some of our featured UK casino sites in June 2021. If you hadn’t already guessed by the title, this brand new slot has a Rio/Brazil/Samba/Carnival theme and there are 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines. Let’s now take a closer look. Low rollers can play from as little as £0.25 per spin. High rollers can spend up to £125.00 per spin, and the top coin prize you can play to win on any lucky spin during the main bonus feature is worth up to 10,500x times your total stake.

The most important symbols to keep an eye out for as you spin the reels are the Purple Glitter Ball Money Symbols, the Conga Drum Bonus Symbols, the Carnival Queen Wild Symbols, and the five different Collect Symbols, the latter of which can only ever land on reel 5 (the rightmost reel). The Purple Glitter Ball Money Symbols can only ever land on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4, the Wild Symbols can only ever land on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the Congo Drum Bonus Symbols can only ever land on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Each Glitter Ball comes with a random monetary value attached. Now, we can take a look at some of the bonus features you can look forward to in this game. First up is the Money Collect feature, which will instantly trigger when the Money Symbols land on the reels at the same time as a Collect Symbol on reel 5. If you land a standard ‘Collect’ Symbol, you will be awarded all of the Glitter Ball cash values that are currently in view.

If you land ‘Extra Credit’ Collect, all of the Glitter Ball cash prizes on display will be enhanced by the Extra Credit value that’s currently displayed. If you land ‘Multiplier’ Collect, the prizes will be boosted by the multiplier displayed. If you land ‘Expanding’ Collect, extra cash prizes will be added to the reels with Glitter Balls, and if you land ‘respin’ collect, all Glitter Ball money symbols will lock in place, and the remaining symbol positions without Glitter Balls will respin once, for free, to give you an extra chance at winning even more cash prizes.

There’s also a Free Spins Bonus Round to win prizes from, which will instantly kick into action when at least 1 Scatter Symbol lands in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. The good news is that the same Money Collect feature that I mentioned above is also active throughout the Free Spins Bonus. If you want to be one of the first players to try out the new Heart of Rio slot, go to Casino.com or Mr Green Casino today and register your free account.
