In August 2017 a Stockholm based casino game supplier, Thunderkick, launched a video slot with quite an unusual theme, titled Full Moon Romance. The game features Wilds, Scatters, a Clone Feature, a Bonus Round and a RTP of 96.1%.
Rosie and Jack are the main protagonists of this slot, just two sweethearts enjoying a romantic evening in a drive-in theatre, until the full moon starts to rise and nothing is as it seems. The game boasts some standard graphics and animations, followed by a sixties soundtrack.
Two top symbols are, as expected, Rosie and Jack, awarding 1,500 coins when 5 land on a payline. They are called Sweetheart symbols that land stacked, 3 rows high. They act as separate symbols in the main game and provide prizes separately. However, once the Bonus Game is triggered, sweethearts will transform into werewolves, merging into one symbol and providing a payout of 1,500 coins if 5 appear on adjacent reels.
Mid-value icons, the Puppy love necklace and Flowers, award 700 and 600 coins respectively, for 5 of a kind. Playing card symbols, Jack through Ace, will reward you from 300 to 500 coins when 5 appear on a winline. All these payouts are calculated for the top bet, bear in mind that payouts depend on your current bet.
Wild doesn’t offer prizes, but stands for all other symbols except Scatter, to enhance your chances of bigger wins.
The Game interface is fairly simple to navigate. As the game has 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 fixed paylines, you are offered to set the total bet from $0.10 to $100 and click the Action button to start the game.
The only mode you can activate is the Autoplay, which spins the reels automatically for a selected number of times.
Symbols pay when appearing on consecutive reels on a payline, from the leftmost position.
The Clone Feature is activated when one of the Sweetheart symbols lands on the 1st reel, creating up to 4 extra clone icons that are placed randomly on the reels, making your chances of massive wins rise dramatically.
At least 3 Full Moon Scatters landing anywhere on the reels will trigger the Bonus Game.
The number of free spins awarded will depend on the number of triggering Scatters. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters will award 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.
3 or more Scatters appearing during the feature will cause a retrigger.
Done in HTML5 technology, Full Moon Romance is fully optimized for play on mobiles and tablets, retaining the same game quality it has in the desktop version.
Unusual and interesting features, as well as the fact they get triggered quite often, make this slot pretty appealing and rewarding.
