Love Bugs

This one is for the lovers! Love Bugs, the online slot machine video game from the developers at Microgaming, takes all the favorite trappings of wooing one's sweetheart and makes them help players win big money on the reels.

The game has five reels and three rows set in a white grid against a background of flying hearts and, kind of strangely, a row of buildings. Hey, we're not here to judge. There are 20 pay lines, which you'll see along the sides of the grid in multi-colored buttons. Along the player dashboard the player will find an Info button for the pay table and other game details; Autoplay, for automated spins; the number of lines you want to play, a Maximum Bet button, the Gamble button (more on this later) and of course, the Spin button. You'll also be able to see your balance, the total bet, and your most recent win at a glance.

Icons include a love letter, chocolates, flowers, champagne, a gold necklace, perfume, a violin, a huge diamond ring and a heart shape containing a view of Venice.

There are a ladybug and a love bug who act as wild cards. They can substitute for any icon you need to make a win. Get them on reel one and reel five to trigger the bonus game. Here, you'll float along a Venetian canal. Prizes fall from bridges. A necklace will give you ten free spins. Catch all four for 40 free spins. Other icons simply give you cash prizes.

After every win, you can select the Gamble feature. Here you can bet on what color the dealer's card will be to double your money. Or you can try to guess the suit to quadruple your money.
