Rhyming Reels - Hearts Tarts

If you're not British you may not understand why small heart-shaped cakes would be a theme for a slot machine game. But Microgaming has done their homework, and the result is that this beloved English poem and nursery rhyme, which dates back to the 18th century, is now the inspiration for this surprising, entertaining slot game. And in case you're curious, here is the nursery rhyme:

    The Queen of Hearts
    She made some tarts,
        All on a summer's day;
    The Knave of Hearts
    He stole those tarts,
        And took them clean away.
    The King of Hearts
    Called for the tarts,
        And beat the knave full sore;
    The Knave of Hearts
    Brought back the tarts,
        And vowed he'd steal no more.

The game has five reels. There are 30 pay lines. You may want to check the pay table or bet line buttons on the playing screen before playing, as when the reels hit on a win, the pay line shows behind the icons, and it's not very clear.

Icons include ten, jack, queen, king, and ace in big, bold graphics, plus heart-design oven gloves, heart-shaped tarts, girls in French maid uniforms serving tarts, The Queen of Hearts offering you a tart, and a schoolboy, known as the Knave, sheepishly eating a tart.

The game's logo is the wild card. It can substitute for whatever you need to make a win. All wins it makes will also pay off double their normal value.

Get at least three scatter icons to unlock 10 free spins. All wins will be doubled during this feature. And luckily for the player, this also means that all wins with wilds will pay out four times what they usually do.

The minimum bet is .01 credits. The maximum bet is 15 credits per spin.
