It’s not too long ago that something like this would be considered blasphemous, or some other nonsense that supposedly proved your Dungeons and Dragons games were a one-way ticket to hell...that is to say, it’s a pretty nice collection of symbols and characters that you get in this Mancala Gaming slot.
But it’s not just the theme we check these games for, what do the wins look like? What else does the Wicked Heart offer? Some delicious line wins to start with and a new take on the gamble feature to top it off.
Theme and Symbols
You’re deep in the pits of hell, or some other such place. There’s loads of lava, heat and brimstone on the screen. Occult symbols take their places on the reels and some really wicked creatures stand guard on both sides of the reels. Animations are a plenty, with really ominous music promising something wicked to be on its way. Perfect immersion.
Betting Options and Functions
Land three to five matching symbols across the five reels, and win prizes ranging from two to 1500 times your line bet. That’s quite a range, and if we compare it to the standards of slot games, a bit higher than the norm...especially so, as the wins are counted from both ends of the reels.
To spice up things a bit more, the game also offers cascading reels. Wins are paid, and the winning symbols then drop off the reels. New symbols drop in place, and score new wins through the same paylines, should any combinations form.
Features
Counting out the cascading reels, there’s just a single feature at play in Wicked Heart slot.
Whenever you land the x2 symbols when claiming a win you have a chance to use the gamble feature. This isn’t just any gamble feature, though the chance of winning is the same 50 - 50.
Instead of doubling the win on each round (where you simply pick between two characters), the winning multiplier also doubles. Starting at 2x, it becomes 4x, then 8x, goes to 16x and finishes with 32x.
Score the main win of 1500 times the line bet, go all the way to the end, and your win is now 48 000 times the line bet. Granted, it’s not easy getting there, but with a bit of a risk any of the small wins can become substantial...
Our Take
Mancala Gaming has long ago cemented their name as a reliable and interesting developer, and they continue to add the unique and entertaining games to the long list of slots that online casinos offer. For anyone looking for a simple slot that keeps you on the edge one spin after another this game offers something worth looking at!
