Swinging Sweethearts Introduction
If you remember the classic 1970s TV show called Mr and Mrs, then Swinging Sweethearts will certainly ring a bell. If you don’t recall the show but you do enjoy fun-filled free pokies, then this the perfect choice. Created by Rival Gaming, Swinging Sweethearts bases its premise on Mrs and Mrs, a show that saw couples compete for prizes based on how well they knew each other, with often hilarious results.
It's not surprising that Rival based their hugely successful pokie title on it. The game is great fun, and it provides endless amusement for players who want to see just how many winning combinations they can successfully line up without risking a cent.
Love Is in the Air
Swinging Sweethearts' colour scheme is predominantly pink, and the cute design remains true to the original game show theme. A five-reel game with 50 paylines, Swinging Sweethearts' transparent reels are set against a TV studio backdrop, and a piano tune accompanies every spin.
The sound can be muted if preferred, but it adds to the game's overall ambience. On the reels is an assortment of symbols, including a toaster, a heart-shaped box of chocolates, a stack of cash, a rose, two rather hapless-looking male contestants and a gold ring. There are also the standard 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A playing-card symbols.
The gorgeous game-show hostess is the Swinging Sweethearts Wild symbol, and the grinning, rather cheesy-looking dark-haired male presenter is the Scatter symbol.
Swinging Sweethearts - Bonus Features
In this pokie game the game hostess Wild symbol fulfils its usual purpose of standing in for all other symbols except for the Scatter to complete a winning payline. Additionally, the Wild symbols acts as a multiplier and multiplies all wins she completes by 4x. The male host Scatter symbol activates the main bonus feature, and when three or more of these icons land anywhere on the reels, players are rewarded with 15 free spins.
During the free spins bonus round, any wins that include a Wild symbol have an 8x multiplier, and if three Scatter symbols appear at any time, the Swinging Free Spin Bonus is triggered and five extra spins are awarded. These spins cannot be re-triggered, and when they come to an end, the player is taken back to the base game.
Pretty in Pink
Swinging Sweethearts is an exceptionally easy video pokie game to play and is ideal for beginners or seasoned enthusiasts. The game interface is well laid out, with the buttons all clearly marked. Bet amounts are adjustable using the plus and minus signs in little hearts. There is the option to bet the maximum number of coins per line by opting for the BetMax button, or you can spin up to 100 times automatically using the Auto feature.
Clicking through to the paytable will show you all the potential winning combinations and their payouts and provide an insight into how the paylines calculate winnings. This is a pokie that is great fun to play.
