More Hearts (Aristocrat) – Review & Demo Play

More Hearts Slot Review

I rate More Hearts as one of Aristocrat’s classic oddballs that works. It runs on a 5x3 layout with 25 lines, and the symbol mix is gloriously incoherent: a Diamond wild, Heart scatters, a glamorous leopard, Yellow Rose, love birds, a butterfly, and a Gift Box wrapped with dollar bills, alongside 9 to A. The mash-up somehow clicks, and once the reels start rolling the focus shifts to pace and feature potential. I went in sceptical, ended up hooked on the flow.

Lines are adjustable, so you can play a single payline or all 25. Wagers start from 0.01, and with all lines active the total can reach 50 per spin, or 60 if you add the 5 extra coins feature. That Ante option also bumps free spin count. Long-term return hovers around 95.69% to about 96%. Auto Play sits above Spin, offering up to 25 auto spins with manual stop. The game history sits on the bottom bar for real money sessions.

Our More Hearts Opinion

I first met More Hearts on a Vegas floor and it surprised me. No glossy animation, yet the bonus design carries the whole show. The free spins are not frequent, so I pace the bankroll and let the base game chip away. When it hits, the extra reel sets and Diamond-stacked reels can chuck out proper wins, which is why the cabinet still pulls a crowd. Theme is random, gameplay isn’t. I keep coming back for that heart-collecting build-up.

The More Hearts bonus round

Three More Hearts logos start the feature with 12 or 15 free spins, depending on whether you paid the 5 extra coins. The Diamond substitutes for all except the scatters, and free spins can even pop at random after a paid spin. During the round you collect Heart symbols into a meter, which can add extra sets of reels. This is where the slot steps up a gear, because stacked Diamonds begin to flood specific reels across every active set.

Hit 9 collected hearts and you move to three sets of reels, with reel 5 turning into Diamonds that mirror across the sets. At 14 hearts you’re on four sets, and both reels 4 and 5 go full Diamond. Maxing the meter at 30 hearts doesn’t add sets, but it turns reels 3 and 4 into Diamonds on all sets. That shift can turn a modest trigger into a tidy payout if the line-ups land.
