The Wild is the lead dancer who knows all the right samba moves to unlock huge prizes. This symbol can not only replace all the others, except the Bonus, Money and Collect ones, but it can also form winning combos with the rest of the symbols. You will also see this symbol only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The bongo drums hit as the Bonus symbol, which can trigger the Free Spins. Landing three on reels 2, 3 and 4 awards the bonus round and a small prize equal to 1x the total bet. Not bad for a pair of drums, right?
The Money Symbol looks like a giant disco ball inside which you will see a certain monetary value. Each time it lands on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4, it takes a random value from a predefined set.
Although there is only one Money Symbol in the paytable, the game features no less than five types of Collect Symbols, adding extra value to the entire gameplay.
How to Win
Heart of Rio comes packed with a Money Collect bonus round that can be triggered randomly in the base game and a Free Spins round that can be unlocked only with the help of the Bonus Symbol.
The Money Collect Feature
This feature goes hand in hand with the gameplay. It can get activated without you having to do anything special. All you have to do is hit at least one Money Symbol on the screen and any Collect Symbol on the fifth reel. The game triggers a particular mode, depending on the Collect Symbol that landed:
- Collect Symbol – it simply adds all values of the Money Symbols present on the screen and awards the total amount;
- Extra Credit Collect Symbol – this symbol hits with a monetary value that is added to the total sum of the Money Symbols in view;
- Multiplier Collect Symbol – the values of all Money Symbols present on the grid are multiplied by the value of this symbol. Then, all increased Money Symbols are added and paid out;
- Expanding Collect Symbol – the reels that hold at least one Money Symbol expand to be filled with Money Symbols of randomly picked values;
- Respin Collect Symbol – all Money Symbols on the screen stay in place, as the other cells respin once, to reveal new wins. After the respin, all values of the Money Symbols are added and awarded.
The Free Spins Feature
To trigger this round, you will have to learn to play the bongo drums. More precisely, you will need to hit three on the screen in order to trigger this bonus round.
This feature comes with two twists that will spice up the gameplay big time! The first one is that the Money and Collect feature is active throughout the entire round. Also, all Money Symbols are collected into a bonus pot which is returned on the reels at the end of the feature.
During the 8 awarded Free Spins, the game collects the values of all Money Symbols and holds them into a bonus pot. When the round ends, the bonus pot in the shape of a giant Money Symbol hits the first four reels. The remaining reel respins and, if a Collect symbol hits, the bonus pot is awarded!
The feature can be retriggered with 3 Bonus Symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4.
