The Love Boat on NTC33: Pick-a-Pair Bonus and the Love Meter Free Games

The Love Boat puts the old television cruise show on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 fixed paylines. Fixed means you can't switch lines off: every spin plays all 25, and your stake is spread across them.

The Pacific Princess wild

The ship, the Pacific Princess, is the wild. It replaces every symbol except the three specials: the scatter, the bonus symbol and the Dream Cruise Ticket. In practice it fills gaps in ordinary line wins but won't help you reach a feature.

The matchmaking bonus game

Three bonus symbols landing on reels 1, 3 and 5 start the bonus game. The screen fills with male and female silhouettes, and you pick a pair to reveal a cash reward.

A meter tracks how well your matches go. The better the match, the higher it climbs, up to a x5 multiplier on the bonus. Your picks feel like a choice, but the prizes behind the silhouettes are set by the game, so don't read too much into strategy here.

Free games and Dr. Adam Bricker's Love Meter

The scatter is the game logo set against an ocean background. Scatters anywhere on the reels award 10 free games, played with Dr. Adam Bricker's Love Meter at the side.

During free games, each qualifying symbol that lands pushes you up the meter's ladder. Rungs on the way up give either more free spins or frozen wilds, which stay in place and improve later spins. It is the most involved part of the game and where the bigger results tend to come from.
