Perfect Match Slot
Long before hookup apps made finding your perfect match as simple as swiping right, there was Cupid. The original matchmaker needed only to fire his bow and, if he hit his target, it was love at first sight. PariPlay have taken it back to the age when Cupid called the shots with Perfect Match, a 3-reel slot that will have you falling head over heels in love – love for money that is.
This is the world of real money online slots after all where, much like the world of online dating, everyone has a secret agenda.
A Jackpot of 100,000
Publicly, you’re here to play the game for its cute sound effects and cheerful graphics; privately, you just want to smash the jackpot and then never touch it again. With a jackpot of 100,000 up for grabs, you can’t be blamed for wanting to take Perfect Match to the cleaners before ditching it for a newer model.
To achieve that feat, you’ll require more than a little luck, a healthy dose of perseverance and the inside scoop on what how to push this slot’s buttons. Here goes then…
Love to Play, Play to Love
You might want to turn down the brightness on your display before firing up Perfect Match. There’s a lot of lurid pink on display here and, while not uneasy on the eye, it can start to jar after staring at the screen for long enough, something you’re almost certainly gonna have to do if you intend to win serious money from this cheeky scamp of a game.
You might also want to lower the sound a few notches, but not before you’ve heard the theme music in its entirety. It’s a schmaltzy, sleazy lounge number – music to seduce to – with oodles of sax and piano. You’ll tire of it in due course, but it’s pretty entertaining for the first few spins, and certainly goes with the theme of the game.
Just a 3-Reeler?
Once you’ve gotten past the sheer brightness of Perfect Match, the first thing that will strike you is the fact it’s only a 3-reel slot. With 5 reels par for the course nowadays, it’s an unusual decision from PariPlay, one that harks back to simpler times when real-world slots had only 3 reels and a single payline.
Perfect Match lays all its cards on the table, so to speak, with the value of the game’s symbols displayed above the reels. Most online slots don’t have space for this on the main screen, but the compact layout of Perfect Match – 3 reels and 1 line – make this possible.
Visually, the game appears as an arcade slot machine, with a series of other slot machines visible in the background. That’s right, Perfect Match is a slot within a slot. The background image is photo realistic, to the extent where you could easily be standing in an arcade playing a physical slot machine. A pair of Cupids unleash a flurry of flashing love hearts on either side of the reels: a mischievous Cupid with harp to the left and a winking Cupid with bow and arrow to the right.
Before you start, adjust the bet level, which can range from 1 to 3. As you adjust it, the display above the reels will switch columns, denoting exactly how much you stand to win from each setting. With a bet level of 1, the jackpot brings in a mere 1,000 x multiplier, rising to 10,000 for a bet level of 3. The sensible decision then is to play with the bet level set to max. If you hit the jackpot with the bet level on 1, you’ll only curse your prudence.
Looking for Love in All the Right Places
Spin the reels and your quest to find your perfect match can begin in earnest. With only a single ring symbol required to notch a win, it’s relatively easy to enjoy success with Perfect Match. A pair of rings will pay 5x your bet, while 3 ‘Love You’ symbols delivers 10x. With male and female symbols as well as hearts and kisses to look out for, playing Perfect Match is a little like picking through a packet of Love Hearts candy.
Three reels might seem underwhelming for an online slot, but Perfect Match is surprisingly fun to play and in terms of payout, it still packs a punch. Even if you’re a foreveralone or are permanently friendzoned in real life, in Perfect Match everyone gets to fall in love and everyone gets to feel loved. It’s only a game, but it’s jolly good fun.
