Play Puppy Love for Free

Behind the 3D graphics and big-brown puppy eyes you’ll find a 5 reel by 3 symbols deep 20 win-line slot. You can select the number of win lines to play, though with stacked wilds I prefer to stay with the full 20 lines and adjust the coin amounts instead. You can choose the size of your coin from between 2c and $1, and also bet up to 5 coins per line, making the minimum spin 40c and the maximum $100. Auto-play follows the standard BetSoft method of confirming your spin amounts before you start.

Kennels have the biggest single win in this game. 5 of these are worth 500 coins, with 80 for 4. The other symbols are all different dogs. The black one and beige one are worth 200 coins for 5, what could be a young boxer and the pug are worth 80 for 5 and the other 2 are worth 40 each. Keep in mind that you will get multiple wins with the name-tag wild, which makes up for the relatively small amounts for each of these dogs.

In addition to the tags, there are 2 more special symbols. The yellow sign (which says ‘puppies for sale’) takes you to the break out puppy shop bonus. The dog bowl, which comes complete with bone, gives you 10 free spins as well as paying 100 coins.

BetSoft make a big effort to include bonus games that keep you engaged in their slots – and Puppy Love is no exception. The first game is in-reel. If you get 3 name-tags which are stacked, these turn the whole reel wild. This reel then specifies a number of respins between 1 and 4, and remains wild for those spins. These are free – there is no extra charge for the respins. You can get more than one wild reel, or even trigger other features while this is running.

3 dog bowls on the reels gives you a standard free spins round. This appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and gives you 10 free spins each time. There is no special behaviour on the reels, though you can retrigger for 10 more spins with 3 more bowls during play.

2 of the ‘Puppies for Sale’ signs, takes you to a puppy shop. You’ll see some dogs on the shelves, and the back of people who are shopping for them. Underneath this there is a list of dog breeds (American Boxer, Bulldog, Greyhound and so on). You pick one of these, and get a prize in coins which then float to the top of the screen. You keep picking and collecting wins until one of your picks also includes the word ‘Collect’.

This slot has the same high quality which runs through the entire BetSoft range. The graphics and animations make it stand out from the crowd, and the bonus games keep you engaged. The answer to my question in the header about whether BetSoft could do a ‘cute’ slot is a definite yes. My favourite is the free spins that come with stacked wilds. This is a simple bonus in many ways, but does keep you engaged in the game. This slot is wayyy too cute for me, though if you enjoy this type of game you’ll be hard pushed to find better.
