Blinded by Love is the third and final episode in the As The Reels Turn slot series. Inspired by a fictional soap opera, each one of these three slot machines shared the same design and most of the same features and symbols, taking you on an adventure as you went from one to the next. In the third episode you see characters from the first two slots, now reunited and part of another story. In most ways it’s very similar to the first two, so it’s not as much about picking this one over the others, as it is playing all three in order to get the full picture.
The 3rd episode of the series comes with the same combo of 5 reels/15 bet lines. However, it improves the original recipe by adding expanding wilds to it, besides the usual bonus games and scatter symbols that were used before. The jackpot has improved as well, offering now up to $15,000.
Features of As the Reels Turn 3 Blinded by Love
This game gives you fewer scatters than the previous episodes, but you do get in exchange an expanding wild, limited to appearances during the free spins. Multipliers are available as well, attached to the same wild, and then there are the bonus games.
Advance to Next Scene
Each of the three slot machines has its own scenes that you get to by having three or more icons with Advance Logo on them on the screen. Their position doesn’t matter, being that they are scatter symbols, but you do need at least three. Getting to the next scene also triggers a bonus game, called Danny Costumes.
Danny Costumes
This bonus game, triggered by the Advance Logo scatter, will ask of you to help Danny get dressed. There are 8 drawers with clothes in them and you pick one to find out what Danny will wear, also revealing the prize in the process.
Free Games Feature
Ivan, one of the symbols that has always been important to this series, is considered a scatter and just as before it will be the one to get you the free spins. 3+ Ivan Fish symbols get you 10 free spins, but instead of getting multipliers you now get an expanding wild.
This expanding wild has Pampers the orange cat on it, a symbol that fills the entire reel when it appears and which applies a multipliers to wins obtained with its help. It’s 3x if one Pampers wild contributed, or 4x if there were two of them.
Betting options and jackpots
It’s a more expensive game than its predecessors in the series, asking for up to $150 per spin, instead of the original $75. The prizes are much better as well, but for that you have to bet up to $10 per line, using 5 coins of $2. The minimums have remained the same, including the $0.01 for a coin, so you can play with the bet as you need to in order to get to an amount you can afford.
The top payout is 1,500x line bet, with up to 7,500 coins on the line, or $15,000. Increasing this amount is possible with the help of the multiplier of the expanding wild, which triples or even quadruples prizes it contributes to during free spins.
Design and symbols
Once again, the developers used the same design as in the first two slots. The character symbols are the ones from both episodes, so they let go the symbols with envelopes, red wine and lobsters, to accommodate the newcomers. Other than that, it’s a game with a rather basic drawing style, but which still manages to look good somehow. I believe you will enjoy playing it, I for one had fun looking at all three slots.
Symbols: Advance Logo (scatter), Pampers Cat (wild during free spins), Ivan Fish (scatter), Chips Stack (1,500x), El Paradiso Logo (1,000x), Jamie (200x), Mrs. Livingston (200x), Danny (200x), Matt G. (65x), The Don (65x) and Vanessa (65x).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s not always that slot series manage to get you to like more than one title in the series. Generally one is older and one is modern, being designed at different times, but here they all offer the same type of design. Add to that the interesting theme and the features, and you get a series of three slots that you shouldn’t miss out on.
