As the Reels Turn # 3: ‘Blinded By Love’ Intro

*This game is an i-Slot*

As the Reels Turn # 3: ‘Blinded By Love’ is the third episode in the successful series of i-Slots each called As The Reels Turn. Similar to the previous two incarnations, which are based on the continuing story lines within the hotel and casino ‘El Paradiso’, as you proceed you will follow character development and hopefully win some great prizes too. Beneath all the gimmicks is the same 15 line 5 reel video slot machine, but brimming with extras and the added dimension of being an i-Slot makes this an attractive choice to anyone even partially interested in online gaming.

Don't forget to check out the prequels to this classic game: As the Reels Turn 1 and As the Reels Turn 2.

As the Reels Turn # 3: ‘Blinded By Love’ Slot Review

A new introductory scene starts this new chapter. Jamie is on the court playing tennis with Danny and ends up practically knocking him out with a tennis ball directly in his face! A humorous introduction to a game with serious prizes. As with other episodes some characters have been replaced and newer ones are brought in to continue the narrative but also to keep it fresh. The storyline is a continuation from the other chapters, but if you are not interested in it whatsoever the various extra bonuses will surely become a treat.

As per usual the El Paradiso logo and money stacks are the main regular icons to drop the top line multiplier awards. Spin 3, 4 or 5 across an active payline to get a line multiplier of 30, 150 or 1,000 times (for the El Paradiso icon) or 30, 150 or 1,500 times (for the money and chip stacks) respectively.

Mrs Livingston now makes an appearance as a new regular icon too. Ivan is back, up to his old tricks as the wicked free-spin trigger and now even Pampers the cat makes an appearance as an expanding wild icon during these free-turns.

To not be lost completely on the storyline it’s always an idea to start from the first episode ‘With Fiends like These’. However considering the beautiful depth in illustrations, smooth and gripping animations, luscious sounds and all the extra game devices included to make your time a profitable one, As The Reels Turn #3 ‘Blinded By Love’ is highly recommendable for any slots aficionado around.

Wild Symbol

Pamper the cat (Mrs Livingston’s pet) is the wild symbol. He is only active during the free spin rounds (triggered by an Ivan the Piranha combination). During the free-spins if he appears in any position on a reel, he will make the whole reel act as one huge wild symbol. Any prize he helps create will automatically be TRIPLED. Using two or more Pampers and your prizes will at least be quadrupled.

Scatter Symbol

Just as in the previous two instalments, As The Reels Turn’s ‘Blinded By Love’ contains more than one scatter icon. Firstly Ivan returns doing what he does best...winning, giving you free-spins! Reveal 3, 4 or 5 across the reels to play with at least ten free-spins.

Secondly, the ‘Advance to Next Scene’ symbol needs to be revealed three or more times to let you see the next scene in the story. Not only that but you’ll also get to play the ‘Danny’ bonus game from the previous episode where you can hopefully let him ‘dress to impress’ Jamie for their next date.

Free Spins

As just previously mentioned, Ivan is again the key to the free spins on offer. If you spin three or more you will be given ten free-spins and activate Pamper the cat that is the expanding wild symbol.

Bonus Round

Unlike the previous episodes, Rival Gaming have toned down the need for so many extra bonus rounds in this episode. I imagine they must be thinking that with so many extras already in an iSlot, plenty of bonus games can only add to confusion. What we are left with is the ‘Danny’ bonus game, triggered by the ‘Advance to Next Scene’ icon. Three or more of these scattered across the reels (even during free-spins) will send you to the next clip of this slot-‘soap opera’ but before then, you can gain some fabulous prizes.

Danny is nervous for his date with Jamie and needs help to decide what to dress. Whilst in his underwear the chest of drawers behind him continuously opens. Press stop and fingers crossed you’ll having looking ‘sharp’ so that when Jamie walks in she’ll give you a thumbs up and a great coin prize. Just to let you know, the outfits range from a James Bond tuxedo to an astronaut’s space walking suit! Have a guess which one she likes more...you’ll be surprised!
