Dr Love Slot

"Emergency, paging Dr. Beat" sang Gloria Estefan in Miami Sound Machine's hit record, Dr Beat. Dr Beat was a mythical character, but we like to think that if he existed he'd be something like the star of the online slot game, and the game's namesake Dr. Love. So, without further ado, let's perform a bit of slot surgery on this game and see if we can come to a diagnosis.

Dr Love features twenty pay-lines over five reels in a format almost every slot player out there will feel comfortable with. Bets ranging from a miserly 2p up to an extravagant £25 can be placed on Dr Love so that a max bet on this slot machine (only for the high blood pressure rollers) will be £1000. If you like to lie back when playing your slot games, locally anesthetised, Dr Love can even cater for that with an auto-spin function that'll play the game whilst you relax in your bed eating grapes.

This is an online slot with a lot of humour around the graphics. The tongue in cheek symbols are straight out of a comic book and the animations are delightfully cheesy and gauche. Dr Love himself features as the wild in the game, operating under the usual conditions of substituting for every symbol other than the scatter. This is one of the only slot games on the market that features a hot symbol; what do we mean by this? Well take a look at that red-haired nurse and tell us you don't know what we’re talking about. This online slot's audio is good (for a change from the usual gambling game offering) with a 1950's Swing/Jazz flavour that manages to hit just the right level of fun and noise without being overly intrusive into the game; many slot developers could take note from Dr. Love. Finally scatter symbols in the form of Love Meters feature as the last reel symbol we'll mention, with the power to take you into the Dr Love sub game surgery.

Dr Love features a Free Spin bonus game. This type of game is a treasured favourite of the best slot game players out there. The number of free spins allocated to the game is dependent on how many Love Meter symbols took the player there in the first place. Three Love Meters equals ten free spins, four Meters will give fifteen spins and the maximum five Meters awards the player with a whopping twenty free spins. The stakes and active pay-lines played by the player are preserved into this lovely little sub-game with one difference; all wins are tripled (just like Uncle Nathan's heart bypass!). The sub game is a nested bonus, which means the Love Meter symbol still features on the free spin reels, so you can carry on adding to your spins as you pump the slot dry of its cash money lifeblood.

So, in our final analysis, is Dr Love the prescription most slot game players need to cure their gambling ills? Well, the game certainly features all the novelty elements that should keep the casual slot patient happy. Equally terminal slot jockeys will be kept going on the slow life support drip of the Free Spin game that can jerk any bankroll back to life with its triple wins.
