Developed by Pragmatic Play, Heart of Rio immerses you in a world of samba, high energy, and exciting features that can lead to big wins.

Gameplay and Features

The base game of Heart of Rio revolves around collecting money symbols with five different modifier collectors. The wild symbol, represented by the lady with red hair ornaments, substitutes for regular pay symbols to create winning combinations. Watch out for the disco ball cash symbols that can land on reels 1 to 4, each carrying random cash prizes. When you land one of the five collect symbols on reel 5 simultaneously, one of the following alternatives is triggered:

• Collect: The values of all money symbols are added together and paid.
• Extra Credit Collect: The extra credit value is added to all money symbols before they are collected.
• Multiplier Collect: All money symbols are multiplied by a given multiplier before being collected.
• Expanding Collect: Money symbols expand to cover their respective reels, and the total value is then summed up and paid.
• Respin Collect: Money symbols become sticky, and the remaining positions respin. After the respin, all money symbols are summed up and paid.

To trigger the Bonus Round and embark on a rewarding adventure, you need to land three bongo drum scatters on reels 2 to 4. This awards you eight free spins, accompanied by an initial scatter win of 1x. During the bonus round, any money symbols that land are collected in a Bonus Cash Pot. On the final respin, the mega money symbol, representing the total value of the pot, fills reels 1 to 4 while reel 5 respins. If you land a collect symbol on reel 5, you win the entire bonus pot.

Heart of Rio offers the potential for retriggers, with an additional eight free spins awarded if you land three new scatters during the feature. There is no limit to how many times you can retrigger the free spins round, giving you ample opportunities to increase your winnings.

A Carnival Reskin

Heart of Rio is a reskin of Pragmatic Play’s El Dorado The City of Gold, meaning it shares similarities with its predecessor. While the game may lack originality, the Hold & Win feature sets it apart. Instead of traditional respins, Heart of Rio introduces five different collect modifiers that enhance your chances of landing more money symbols. The bonus round provides an opportunity to build a substantial bonus pot, although it can be challenging to land the required collect symbol on the final respin.

Heart of Rio offers a maximum win potential of 10,500x, although the single spin max win is 800x your stake. Pragmatic Play’s attention to detail and exciting features ensure that Heart of Rio delivers an engaging and immersive gaming experience for players seeking the thrill of the carnival.
