Love and Riches: Eldorado Slot Review

The Love and Riches: Eldorado Slot Game

As is always the case with GoodLuckMate reviews, you can find this slot’s demo-play here and acquaint yourself at no cost! It’s advisable so as to understand the mechanics and features and find an ideal playing style before risking your dough.

In the Love and Riches: Eldorado slot, Habanero sets you on a journey to the fabled city of gold. It happens in a not-so-dense jungle populated by multiple pyramids surrounding a meandering river. The lustrous graphics reflect the region’s suspected gold deposits and treasure.

Admittedly, it’s a picturesque presentation that should create an adventurous atmosphere. Luckily, even the 5 by 3 reelset has floating symbols to allow you an uninterrupted view of the appealing backdrop.

Symbols and Payouts

Even the design team knew it wouldn’t make sense to include conventional playing cards or suits in this slot’s paytable. In my opinion, it would have diluted the design’s uniqueness.

Anyway, the Love and Riches: Eldorado splits its eight regular symbols into minor and major ranks. Further, the slot has 25 paylines, translating to generating wins when at least three identical symbols appear successively along the predefined lines from the leftmost column.

A payout equals the winning combination’s paytable value multiplied by the selected stake! Only the highest win per line is paid, and wins from different combinations are added.

The minor symbols include the Pink, Red, Green, and Blue Gems encased in gold. They all are worth 0.2x to 0.6x, 1x, 1.8x, and 2.4x the bet, respectively. Then, the premium symbols include:

• Aztec Totem - 0.32x, 2x, and 6x the bet.

• Dagger - 0.4x, 2.4x, and 10x the stake.

• Explorer - 0.6x, 5x, and 16x the bet.

• Princess - 0.8x, 6x, and 100x the stake.

The Chieftain and Chieftess are both wild in Love and Riches: Eldorado. They land on the odd-numbered reels and don’t pay, but substitute for all the regular symbols. Then, a wooden Treasure Chest is the scatter, which pays 3x, 20x, and 500x the bet for 3+ of the same anywhere on the grid.

Love and riches: Eldorado Slot Bonus Features

No features grace your base game. However, the free spins with expanding wilds await alongside the super bet and bonus buy options!

Free Games Feature

When 3, 4, and 5 scatters appear anywhere in Love and Riches: Eldorado, they activate 8, 15, and 30 free spins, respectively.

An expanded wild symbol will appear on the middle reel at the beginning of the free spins and remain sticky for the rest of the bonus.

Other wild symbols cannot appear during the feature. Up to 3 low-paying symbols will be replaced by any high-paying ones, with the replacement happening on every spin (if applicable). Further, if 3 or 4 scatters appear anywhere during the feature, they award 8 or 15 free spins, respectively.

Bonus Buy

The Love and Riches: Eldorado lets you trigger the free spins instantly from the base game for 65.6x the bet. Once bought, 3 to 5 scatters will appear and play according to the free spins rules.

Super Bet

Then, the super bet doubles the cost of your bet when toggled on. In return, it increases the odds of triggering the free spins feature. Also, once the free spins are triggered, you get 10, 20, and 40 free spins for 3+ scatters anywhere. Finally, the odds of replacing 2 or 3 low-paying symbols increase.

How to Win at Love and Riches: Eldorado Slot

A floating 5-reel, 3-row platform awaits you in this video slot, fixed with 25 paylines. To win at it, match three or more identical symbols along a predefined payline successively from the outermost left reel to the right. The payout rules also apply during the free spins.    

Any player whose budget allows them to wager between €0.25 and €5,000 per spin is welcome to gamble here! Setting an ideal bet entails adjusting the bet level (1 to 10) and/or the coin value (€0.01 to €20).

You play a single Love and Riches: Eldorado slot by pressing the Play button or hitting the Spacebar once. Otherwise, you can gamble several auto-spins using the Autoplay button.

The slot also has a Turbo option, represented by the Lightning Bolt, which speeds up the reel spins. Finally, use the “i” button to access the paytable and game rules.

Love and Riches: Eldorado Slot RTP & Volatility

After enduring this slot’s very high volatility, you can only win up to 2,525x the bet. Furthermore, the slot’s theoretical RTP varies between 86.39% and 98.09%.

The Concluding Verdict

For many years, explorers have incessantly searched for the mythical city of gold, El Dorado, located in South America. Believe me, the obsession has also engulfed the iGaming world, prompting game developers to create hundreds of slots inspired by the subject.

The Love and Riches: Eldorado won’t be the first time Habanero ventures into the South American jungle in search of the lost city. Previously, the premium slot developer created Fruity Mayan, which mashed the appeal of ancient civilisation and a juicy theme. So, I expected this new release to come from an experienced point of view.

This new game is about love, adventure, and treasure. While it embraced a high-quality, alluring design, its gameplay didn’t have much for players to work with. It was a ‘more visuals, less action’ experience revolving around free spins with expanding wilds.

No wonder the slot’s win cap was an insignificant 2,525x total bet. The brighter side is that it’s a more realistic maximum payout. Plus, it’s standard for Habanero releases to be minimalist, making this a tolerable game!
