Detailed Bonus Features
Hearts of Venus brings together Pragmatic Play's hallmark Tumble Feature, persistent Multiplier Spots, Free Spins with Multiplier Boosters, and diverse Bonus Buy options.
Multiplier Spots: From 2x up to 1,024x
Multiplier Spots are highlighted grid coordinates that receive win multipliers ranging from 2x up to an enormous 1,024x, doubling with each consecutive winning cascade that occurs on that exact spot. Famously popularized by Pragmatic Play in Sugar Rush, this mechanic activates whenever a winning symbol explodes on a marked tile during a tumble sequence: a 2x spot doubles to 4x, then 8x, 16x, and so forth.
If a winning combination connects across multiple highlighted spots during the same tumble, their multiplier values are added together: connecting over spots of 4x, 8x, and 2x applies a combined 14x boost to that win.
For example: a combination paying 10x your stake connecting across an 8x spot yields an 80x return. In the base game, marked spots clear between paid spins; during Free Spins, they remain locked in place and continue compounding throughout the round up to the 1,024x cap.
Free Spins and the Multiplier Booster
Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature, awarding 6 initial free spins alongside a global Multiplier Booster of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x respectively. This booster applies across all wins, multiplying on top of local position-based Multiplier Spots.
Retriggers occur in stages: every set of 3 scatters collected during the feature adds +2 free spins and doubles the active global booster up to 1,024x, at which point a massive bonus of +10 extra spins is awarded.
The global booster and local spots interact multiplicatively: an 8x spot combined with a 16x global booster produces an effective 128x multiplier. For instance, a 5x base combination on a 4x spot with an active 8x booster delivers 160x your base stake.
Bonus Buy and Super Spins: Options and Variants
Six distinct Bonus Buy options (scaling from 20x to 1,000x your stake) provide direct access to Free Spins or feature-enhanced Super Spins: standard Free Spins at 100x, Random Free Spins at 250x (with 3 to 6 randomized scatters), Super Free Spins at 400x (with an elevated starting booster), and three tiers of Super Spins featuring pre-populated multiplier grids: 20x (starting at 32x), 250x (starting at 128x), and 1,000x (starting at 1,024x).
The Ante Bet option, priced at a 3x stake multiple, makes organic free spins triggers ten times more likely, though never guaranteed. Super Spin 1 (20x) offers the most economical entry point for modest bankrolls; Super Spin 3 targets absolute peak payout potential at maximum volatility.
