Secret Admirer is a 5-reel 9-payline video slot themed around romance and love. Along with 8 different playing card symbols, the slot utilizes a pack of themed images such as roses, Cupid charms, perfume and diamond rings. In terms of design and special features, the slot looks basic, and the only unusual aspects about Secret Admirer are sticky scatters and free spins to be reviewed in detail further down.

A bet size is regulated by changing the number of active lines, the number of coins (1 to 10) and a coin value ($0.01 to $1) so a betting range varies between $0.09 and $90 per spin. There are two special symbols in the game, a wild and a scatter, which perform traditional bonus functions. Other symbols are regular and they create combinations when at least 2 or 3 of them land left to right. Playing cards award x6 to x500. Themed symbols are more profitable; get, for example, five Cupid Charms or five Red Hearts and win x2500.

Bonus features

A wild symbol is depicted by the Mask. It serves as a substitute for normal symbols, helping them complete payable combinations. Even one wild landed on the leftmost reel pays a small prize of x2. Five wilds pay the slot’s top prize worth x5000 a line bet or $25,000 if playing at max.

In Secret Admirer, free spins run in a rather unusual pattern, just the same as in Royal Feast, another 5-reel slot by Microgaming. The bonus is triggered by 3+ scatters that are Diamond Rings in this case. Before free spins activate, you get an instant scatter win of x2 to x50 a total bet. After that, you are awarded 3 free spins, during which the triggering scatters are held in their starting positions so payouts for these scatters are given every spin. If during the initial 3 free spins another scatter appears, it also sticks to its position and the feature restarts. Free spins have generous potential payouts to please even high rollers.

Every winning round ends in an optional gamble feature offering you to multiply your recent winning by x2 if you guess a card color correctly.
