Play Valentine's Victory for Free

The aesthetic that 888 have gone for may be one of romance, but it derives from the origins of the Cupid mythology, thus adding a Greek dynamic into the mix. We’ve seen this from a few games, but not nearly as many as you’d expect, which in turn makes Valentine’s Victory rather unique. It isn’t necessarily original with its ideas, but it’s part of a select grouping of titles that explore avenues (mostly) undiscovered.

888 bring that Greek edge into play without needing rows of columns or muscular men, they just place a cute looking, golden curled boy into the mix, floating alongside a row of hearts. It sounds like a flat image, one that doesn’t stir up any emotions, but the written analogy of the game is nothing like seeing it in action. The subtle details of the boundless 5-reels, mixed in with the twists of the ribbon that make up the body of the title, all come together to create a rich tapestry.

When it comes to making a win, things aren’t as normal as they may appear. Those of you that like getting stuck in will have discovered that there’s no paylines, but combinations to create instead. Each pattern has its own worth, which is further dictated to by the symbols that make up said pattern; this is how the wins are determined. It’s a more refreshing idea that graces our screens, but it isn’t one without its flaws.

Some might even say that it’s harder to create a winning grouping due to this very dynamic. We have to admit, we didn’t manage to make any wins when we played, and we were at it for quite some time - it is our job, after all. Therefore, we think it wise to watch carefully when those heart symbols start to fall, for you might be thinking you have a victory on your hands when in fact you had a dud match.

Do you feel lucky in love? Is Lady Luck looking down upon you? If you’re not quite so sure, you could always play a few games of Lucky Valentine, a title from Red Tiger that brings you a lot of puppy love, all for a fee of 0.20 credits. That’s a tad cheaper than 888’s game, and so we have a bit of a competition on our hands when it comes to which is the best value for money. We’d have to say that Lucky Valentine is just as rewarding as Valentine’s Victory, meaning that the decision comes down to general playability and aesthetic quality, both of which are subjective.

When it comes to Valentine’s Victory, we’re hooked and ready for love. We know that it isn’t the one for us, that there’s plenty of other fish in the sea, but for now it’s all we can think about. Day and night. Hopefully you’ll be as drawn to this activity as we are, though if not that means that there’s more for us to enjoy and love. You’d be a fool if you said no to this little number, and we’re certain you’re no fool…!
