Gypsy Rose

Released in May 2014 on desktop and mobile, Gypsy Rose is another highly entertaining Slots3 game from Betsoft that impresses on so many levels. The video slot is played at five reels and thirty paylines, with the action revolving around a beautiful fortune teller called Rose who can predict the future using a crystal ball and few other intriguing items. Impeccable graphics and realistic sound effects are nothing less than we expected from the highly rated software developer, but we have been pleasantly surprised by the presence of four special bonus features and a Double Up option.

You might need some time to the colourful game screen, but important game options do stand out, so you will have no problems selecting your preferred wager. Game Options and View Pays are located in the upper right hand corner, whilst Max Bet, Double Up and Auto Play are in the bottom right, next to Spin.

As that is usually the case, at least three matching icons on an active payline form a winning combination. Tarot Card symbol is Wild and it can only occur on reels 1 and 5. It substitutes for all game icons without exceptions, and in case two Wilds appear opposite each other on paylines 1, 2 or 3, and additional Wild will be added to the reels.

The betting starts at $0.02 per single payline or $0.60 when maximum 30 lines are active, which shouldn’t prove too much even for casual gamers. Another five coin values up to $1 are supported, whilst the total bet per spin can be further increased by staking between 1 and 5 coins per single payline.

Seeing as how Gypsy Rose is a low volatility slot, payouts on regular game icons are far from impressive, although the win frequency should be better than the average. Tarot Card Wild also acts as the highest-paying icon in the game, awarding up to 5,000 credits for five matching symbols, depending on your current bet per line.

Rose, the fortune teller, will be rooting for you next to the reels every step of the way, but she also appears as one of the high-value icons on the game screen, together with love potion, magic book and crow. Meanwhile, playing cards Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten are the low-value symbols. All game icons come to life when they form a winning combination, meaning that an instant credit payout will be accompanied by cute animations.

All four bonus features are triggered with the Crystal Ball occurring on reel 3 and two matching Magic symbols positioned next to it on reels 2 and 4. Two Love Potion icons in said combination trigger the Free Spins round with Wild Card Magic feature. Two Crow symbols positioned next to the Crystal Ball turn both Crow icons Wild with a free re-spin awarded. Instant credit win up to 20x total bet is awarded when two Magic Book icons appear in said combination, while two Gypsy Rose symbols activate the Tarot Card Bonus where you reveal seven different cards and receive a payout and multiplier based on the figures and colours of the cards.

Gypsy Rose was another Slots3 game to be released simultaneously on desktop and mobile, with the mobile version optimized for iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices. Perfect execution means the five reel thirty payline game looks and plays great on smartphone and tablet, and you will definitely appreciate the fact that it takes virtually no time for all those bonus features to load.
