Wild Love by Endorphina: heart Wild rules and paytable guide

Wild Love is a compact 5×3 slot built around two distinct heart Wilds. This guide separates their reel positions, expansion and doubling behaviour, then shows what to verify in the loaded help.

Supplier sources below. Operator eligibility needs a separate check.

Wild Love uses five reels, three rows and ten fixed paylines. Endorphina’s product page publishes 96.02% RTP, medium-high volatility and a supplier stake reference of €0.10–€40. Those figures identify the provider profile checked on 8 October 2026; they do not prove that every operator offers the same configuration or converts the euro range directly into New Zealand dollars.

The game is easiest to understand when its two heart symbols are kept separate. The blue heart can appear on reels two, three and four and may expand when doing so creates a win. The red heart is confined to reel three and doubles a win when it substitutes. Both replace ordinary symbols but not the star Scatter.

Treat this table as source evidence, not an account offer. After a game loads, open its help and record the title, version, RTP, currency, stake limits and optional controls. If a figure differs, preserve both the dated provider record and the live configuration rather than silently choosing one.

How the ten lines pay

Ordinary combinations use adjacent reels from the leftmost reel on an enabled payline. Scatter symbols are evaluated anywhere. On each line, only the highest qualifying combination is paid, while line wins and Scatter awards can be added together.

Ten lines make visual checking manageable, but the line overlay still matters. A row of matching icons is not automatically a win if it does not follow one of the numbered paths. Save the overlay, note the line number and compare its displayed amount with history before applying any optional Risk result.

The provider lists five sevens at 300× base bet. That is a paytable example, not a 300× total-stake promise. “Base bet” must be read in the current help because the relationship between line bet and total stake may differ by interface. Test one uncomplicated line at the lowest comfortable setting to identify the displayed calculation.

Blue Heart expanding Wild

The Blue Heart substitutes for regular symbols and can appear on the three middle reels. Its expansion is conditional: the provider says it expands only when a win can be gained. This is different from a Wild that always fills its reel as soon as it lands.

To audit one event, capture the settled grid before the expansion animation, the filled reel and the highlighted line. Mark which missing position the expanded heart supplied. If the heart is present but no valid line would be completed, no expansion should be assumed merely because the symbol looks active.

Several lines can pass through one expanded reel. Count each highlighted line once and then compare their sum with the pre-Risk round credit. Do not add an extra “expansion prize”; the expansion changes substitution coverage, while the paytable settles the resulting lines.

Red Heart doubling Wild

The Red Heart appears only on reel three. When it substitutes in a winning line, the provider states that the win is doubled. A clean evidence note records the original symbol requirement, the red heart’s position, the line award before or after the factor as displayed, and the final round credit.

Do not automatically double Scatter awards, unrelated lines or the complete spin total. The wording connects the factor to a win in which the red heart substitutes. If several qualifying lines cross the red heart, current help and the result panel should show whether each line is doubled individually before the total is formed.

The two hearts can occupy the same central reel in different rounds, but they are not interchangeable. Label screenshots “blue expanding” or “red doubling” so a support case does not rely on colour memory alone.

Star Scatter and its award

The blue star is Scatter. Three Scatters pay 100× base bet according to the official symbol summary. Scatters can count anywhere rather than following a line, and their award can be added to ordinary line wins.

The official feature list does not present a conventional Free Games mode for this title. Do not infer free spins from heart animations or from similarly named games. The verified special behaviour is the expanding Blue Heart, doubling Red Heart, Scatter payment, optional Risk game and jurisdiction-dependent Bonus Pop.

For a mixed result, record Scatter count first, then list every highlighted line and its Wild involvement. Reconcile the combined figure with the settled history amount. This prevents the 100× example from being counted twice when the result screen already includes it.

Risk game and Bonus Pop

The classic Risk option can permit up to ten doubling choices after an eligible win. Each choice creates a separate decision with the possibility of losing the offered amount. It does not change the mathematical rules of the original spin and should be excluded when checking whether heart substitution settled correctly.

Bonus Pop is listed by Endorphina but may be unavailable in some casinos or jurisdictions. Its presence on a studio page is not proof that a New Zealand account receives it. If the control appears, save its price, stated conditions and any RTP notice before choosing it.

For a baseline test, leave optional modes off and decline Risk. Once the ordinary ten-line settlement is understood, optional paths can be documented separately without mixing their debits and outcomes into the core record.

RTP, volatility and stake interpretation

The published 96.02% RTP is a long-run theoretical figure for the cited provider profile. It cannot forecast a session, heart landing or Scatter award. Ask the live help for the active value because suppliers can support certified configurations that differ between deployments.

Medium-high volatility is Endorphina’s category, not a guarantee about the size or timing of results. A short session can sit far from the theoretical return. Set a money and time limit before opening the game, and never increase stake to wait for a red or blue heart.

The €0.10–€40 range is denominated in euros. It must not be rewritten as NZ$0.10–NZ$40. An operator may use another currency, step size or cap, and its account terms decide the actual debit.

Mobile and demo verification

The official page can provide demo access and describes device support, but a supplier demo does not prove real-money availability at a New Zealand operator. It is useful for finding the paytable, learning the line overlay and seeing how the two heart states are labelled.

On a phone, confirm that all five reels, total stake, line indicator, balance and result message remain visible. Rotate the device, enlarge system text and open the help. The close control should remain reachable and the stake should not change during a scroll gesture.

Before any paid round, locate history. For a disputed result save the round ID, timestamp, balance before and after, total debit, settled grid and the relevant help screen. Redact account identifiers before sharing evidence outside authenticated support.

A practical heart-event ledger

Use one row per settled spin with columns for stake, line number, Blue Heart position, whether it expanded, Red Heart position, whether it substituted, Scatter count, line total, Scatter amount and final credit. This structure makes the difference between expansion and multiplication explicit.

If a blue heart expands and a red heart also participates in another line, preserve the complete result panel rather than reconstructing the order from animation. The actual settlement is authoritative. Apply only the factors shown in help and history.

Common errors include treating a non-winning blue heart as automatically expanding, doubling the whole round for a red heart, using hearts as Scatters, converting the euro range into NZD and claiming operator access from the studio catalogue. Each error disappears when title, configuration and round evidence are captured together.

Final assessment

Quick pre-play identity check

Before relying on a heart symbol, verify three visual facts in help: blue hearts are labelled as expanding Wilds, the red heart is described as the doubling Wild, and the star is the only Scatter. This one-minute identity check is more reliable than colour alone because screen filters and small mobile displays can shift hues. It also gives a support case the exact terminology used by the loaded build.

Wild Love is mechanically compact but not generic. Its main reading task is distinguishing a conditional expanding Wild across the middle reels from a doubling Wild restricted to the centre reel. The star Scatter is a separate anywhere-pay symbol.

The official page supports the 5×3 grid, ten lines, 96.02% RTP, medium-high volatility, reference range and named symbol behaviour. The loaded help remains decisive for the active configuration, base-bet definition, optional features and account availability.

How to verify the version you can actually open

A provider page proves that a title exists and describes the supplier's intended rules. It does not prove that a casino accepts players in New Zealand, that the title is enabled for a particular account, or that the highest published RTP is the version in the lobby. Treat availability, operator eligibility and product configuration as three separate checks.

Start with identity, then configuration

Open the game only through the authenticated casino lobby. The information or help panel should identify Endorphina, the exact title and the active mathematical return. Compare the reel or grid layout, paylines or cluster rules, named features and symbol behaviour with the official product material. Similar artwork or a matching title is not enough when the help file is missing or inconsistent.

When the supplier publishes several RTP values, report all of them as configurations. Do not assume the highest option is deployed. RTP is a theoretical long-run measure across a very large number of rounds; it is not a refund rate for one player and cannot predict the next result. Volatility is different: it describes how unevenly results are distributed on the provider's scale.

Read stake controls as money, not interface decoration

Provider sheets often quote a reference range in euros. That range does not establish New Zealand-dollar support or the limits in a specific account. Before a paid round, identify the total amount that will leave the balance. If the interface separates denomination, coins and lines, verify the combined total. If Extra Bet is active, calculate its full cost before pressing spin.

Feature-buy prices are multiples of the current bet, not promised returns. A 100x purchase at a $1 stake costs $100; at a $2 stake it costs $200. Availability can vary by market and some mathematical configurations may not support the control. If the live help does not explain the price, delivered feature and active RTP, leave the option unused.

Keep simulation figures in their proper scope

A game sheet may publish a maximum result observed in a large simulation. That is not automatically the contractual maximum payout and never describes a likely session. Preserve the provider's wording, sample size and configuration. Check the live rules for a binding cap and the operator terms for any separate payout limit. Do not turn an extreme result into a promotional headline.

Audit a disputed round

If an animation freezes or a connection drops, do not repeat the wager immediately. Reopen the game through the authenticated lobby and inspect round history. Record the time, total stake, balance movement and round identifier. The result can be settled by the gaming system even when the device never displays the final animation. Send evidence through verified operator support; never disclose a password, recovery phrase or one-time code.

Read the paytable as a calculation document

The paytable should explain what creates a win, which symbols substitute, where special symbols can land and how multiple awards combine. For line games, confirm direction and active paylines. For cluster games, confirm adjacency, minimum group size and the order of collection. For respins, identify what remains locked, what resets the counter and what ends the feature. A graphic effect can illustrate those rules but cannot replace them.

Separate addition from multiplication. Several prize values may be added before a multiplier applies, while reel-specific multipliers can sometimes multiply together only when each reel participates in the same win. Reconstruct one low-stake result from game history. If the arithmetic cannot be matched to the help file, stop and ask the operator rather than guessing.

Do not confuse hit frequency with a profitable round

Provider sheets can publish hit frequency or category probabilities. A hit simply means a round returned a qualifying amount; it can be smaller than the stake. “Big”, “Mega” or “Epic” thresholds are provider reporting categories, not promises. They are useful for comparing mathematical versions only when definitions and samples are the same.

Random outcomes do not become due after a long gap. A feature that appeared repeatedly in a demo or marketing clip has no obligation to repeat in a funded session. Previous rounds do not create a debt from the next random result.

Confirm market and device behaviour independently

A title can exist in the supplier catalogue while an operator disables it for a territory, currency, device or bonus. Language localisation is not evidence of legal availability. Confirm the operator's identity, accepted countries and current lobby separately from the provider review.

On mobile, verify that balance, total bet, feature state and help remain visible without overlap. On desktop, check that browser zoom does not hide a purchase control or change the apparent denomination. Mathematical configuration should not change merely because the screen changes; if the help shows another RTP, treat it as a different deployment and record it.

Keep a compact evidence record

For any fact used in a review, save the title, provider, official URL, document date when available, access date and exact territorial scope. For a live session, add the operator domain, Game ID, RTP, currency and a non-sensitive screenshot of the help panel. This makes later corrections possible when a supplier updates a sheet or an operator changes configuration.

Missing information should remain missing. Do not estimate an RTP from results, convert a euro reference range into an operator's NZD limit, or treat another casino's configuration as evidence. A transparent “not confirmed” is more useful than a precise-looking number without the correct source.

Use limits that survive the feature design

Collection meters, expanding grids, sticky symbols and near misses can make a session feel unfinished. Unless the rules explicitly preserve progress, the visible state has no value after the round or feature ends. Set a money limit and time limit before launch, count feature buys immediately, and stop at the limit even when a meter appears close to an upgrade.

No random game is an income plan. Do not borrow, use essential funds or raise the stake to recover a loss. If play stops feeling recreational, use timeout, deposit-limit or self-exclusion tools and consult the site's responsible gambling guide.

Primary source and correction path
