Brilliant Heart Booster Slot by Fazi

The Heart is the only symbol that matters here, and it lands on just three of the five reels: the second, third and fourth. When one drops it doesn't stay a single cell. It stretches to fill its entire reel, turning every position on that reel into a red brilliant-cut expanding wild that stands in for anything except the two star scatters. With 40 fixed lines threading the 5x4 grid, a single fully wild middle reel clips dozens of them at once, which is why the best results come from two or even three of those reels going wild in the same drop. There are no free spins and no second screen. The whole game is built around getting that Heart to appear.

So Fazi sells you a shortcut. The Wild Booster toggle on the left is an ante switch: flip it on and the next spin is guaranteed to land the Expanding Heart, and it stays on, spin after spin, until you turn it back off. The price is steep at seven times your total stake per spin, so you're paying a heavy premium for a wild that still has to line up with paying symbols to cash. Your line payouts settle on the base bet either way. It's the closest thing to a bonus buy in a game that otherwise has no bonus at all.

The paytable runs old-school. The red 7 sits on top and is the only symbol that pays from two of a kind, with five worth 125x. Watermelon and grapes are the premiums; oranges, cherries, lemons and plums fill out the lower end. Two scatters split the work between them. A blue star pays from any position on screen and is the high earner of the pair, five returning 100x. A red star only counts on reels one, three and five, paying 20x for three. Neither one triggers anything, they just pay where they land.

Every icon is cut and faceted like a loose gemstone, glittering sevens and jewelled fruit set against a deep-red diamond-faceted backdrop with a polished jewellery-box shine. Three mystery progressives, Gold, Diamond and Platinum, run across the top and can drop at random on any spin, with bigger stakes shortening the odds. Win something and the red-or-black gamble doubles it up to a 50,000 ceiling.
