Play Secret Romance for Free

Secret Romance is taking love very seriously, as you can judge by the entirely pink background, with purple command buttons to match. The reels are simply floating in the centre of the screen, covered in matching symbols as we will see next.

Subtlety isn’t exactly what the Microgaming developers were going for with Secret Romance. That being said, the different symbols and background decorations look shiny and crisp, and the reels flow smoothly from start to finish. And there is much more to Secret Romance than a simple pink universe, after all.

The betting range of Secret Romance is quite short, with possibilities to bet from 0.15 to 3 credits on each spin only. You still have 5 reels and 15 fixed paylines to deal with, but your options are still a little limited here. Adjust you wager as you see fit, but remember that the more your risk on the reels, the more money you are susceptible to win in the end.

Beyond the classic card symbols on the paytable, you will find a few more romantic tokens such as rings and roses scattered all over the game screen. The game’s volatility is quite average, which means that you shouldn’t expect to score a big prize right away in Secret Romance. Overall, the game felt a little limited at first sight, but if you dig deeper you may uncover a very decent array of bonus features.

The Secret Romance mystery symbols are the most prominent bonus feature of the entire game. They often appear stacked and can reveal blocks of any symbol, potentially triggering several winning combinations at once. The one icon that cannot be hidden here is the heart, which plays the part of the wild card. Hearts can replace the basic icons and give you a little boost on the reels as well.

Scatters, however, can be revealed by the mystery symbols or appear on the reels as regular icons. Three scatters trigger 14 free spins, during which all cash prizes are multiplied by 2. You can increase the win multiplier up to x5 by scoring more scatter combinations, making the Secret Romance jackpot worth 6000 times your current wager in the process.

The most interesting feature of Secret Romance is clearly the abundant mystery symbols that often come and literally flood the screen all of a sudden. Every time it happens, your chances to score multiple winning combinations sharply increase. Moreover, a “full house” with only scatters on all reel positions award an additional bonus of 1,200 credits.

Overall, playing Secret Romance was a great experience that proved more exciting than we thought it would be at first. Do not let the cute, pink visual universe of the game fool you, the stakes can be pretty high here. And if you are in the mood for even more romance, check out Love Machine from Roundstone. You will find just as many hearts on the reels of this game, but with a lower volatility and fewer winning possibilities than in Secret Romance overall.
