Play Cupid's Arrow for Free

There are 5 reels and 20 paylines in this game, offering a classic set up from the start. The symbols are large and colourful and look as though they are actually floating in mid-air. The background of the slot is a lilac sky with fluffy clouds, while a moon and glittering stars add to the angelic atmosphere.

The first thing to do is select your bet by clicking the casino chip icon on the left of the screen. This opens up the sliding betting scale where you can choose to bet a coin value of €0.01 to €1.00. You can choose to play from 1 to all 20 paylines, giving a total bet per spin of up to €20.00. Once you have decided on your bet, press ‘ok’ to return to the main screen.

Other features to make your gameplay easier include an autoplay option, which allows you to play up to 25 spins automatically. You can also set a loss limit and a win limit while using autoplay.

Although there is no bet max button, there is another useful feature, which is the ‘turbo’ mode, accessible from the left pop out menu. This speeds up gameplay so every spin is faster and you can win – or lose – your cash more quickly! However, for those who enjoy their slots play, it makes more sense to play in regular mode so you can enjoy the atmosphere of this gentle slot and have a relaxed game.

The payouts in this game are reasonable, though not particularly high. The pay table is accessible from the side menu from where you can study which symbols will reward you with the best cherubic returns.

The biggest win you can pocket from this game is up to 3,000x your bet from the little cherub firing an arrow – the cupid of the title. This is also the wild symbol, which substitutes for all the other symbols in the game, except the scatter, to create more potential wins.

The second-best paying symbol is the pink present wrapped up with a green bow, which pays up to 1,500x your bet for 5 symbols. Other returns include 500x your bet for 5 of the male/female symbols, 250x your bet for 5 of the white doves, 175x your bet for 5 of the love necklaces, 150x your bet for 5 of the lips symbols, and 125x your bet for 5 of the roses.

The lowest paying symbols are the swans, chocolate box and teddy, which pay 100x, 75x and 50x your bet respectively for spinning 5 symbols together.

The free spins feature in this slot game is triggered by the scattered red heart. This symbol pays 20x your bet when you hit 5 icons together anywhere on the reels. The free spins awarded depend on the number of hearts revealed – and there are some generous multipliers available on top for extra potential payouts.

Three hearts awards 10 free spins with a 4x multiplier, 4 hearts triggers 15 free spins with a 4x multiplier and 5 hearts at once awards the maximum 25 free spins with a 4x multiplier.

Cupid’s Arrow includes a gamble feature, which gives you the option of gambling your winnings after each spin for the chance of doubling your return. If you fancy your chances, click the gamble sign on the left to enter the card game screen where you can choose red or black, or pick a card suit. A correct colour choice awards 2x your payout, while a correct card suit awards 4x your payout.

This is a potentially highly lucrative feature if you are lucky with your guesses, but always be aware that a wrong choice will cost you’re your winnings from that spin. The maximum you can gamble with is €500.

This is a relatively simple game with a cute theme, although it may be too lovey-dovey for some players with its heavy romantic imagery. The same jingle playing constantly for every spin can become irritating after a while, but you can turn this off if you like by toggling the music sign in the top right.

With wilds and free spins there are plenty of potential winning chances here, but with no more features or bonus game we found our romance with this slot soon faded.
