Heartbreakers: Bottles, Multipliers and a Cabaret Respin

Heartbreakers is a Pragmatic Play slot set in a cabaret, played on a 5x4 grid with five reels of four rows. Its whole design sits in one extra row: on every spin, a multiplier of up to 100x appears above each of the five reels.

Those five multipliers do nothing on their own. They are cashed in by bottle symbols, which come in green, red and yellow, and each colour reads the multiplier row in a different way.

A three-scatter respins bonus turns the idea round. The multipliers start low, every bottle that lands builds them up, and the five values are added together and paid when the respins run out.

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP of Heartbreakers at 96.53% in the Basic Game Info on its game page. Only one figure is shown there.

The page gives the layout as 5x4 and caps each reel's multiplier at 100x, the same ceiling that applies to the random multiplier a red bottle can carry. Those are the only hard numbers in the provider's description.

Volatility, a maximum win, the bet range and a release date are not published on the game page, so they are left out here rather than guessed. The game's own information screen is the place to check them before playing.

Every base game spin puts a fresh multiplier over each of the five reels, with 100x as the highest value Pragmatic Play gives. Think of the row as five price tags: a bottle landing in a reel is paid at the tag above it.

Because there is one multiplier per reel, the same bottle is worth very different amounts depending on where it lands. A green bottle under a low tag and a green bottle under a high one follow the same rule but pay very differently.

The row is also the link between the base game and the bonus. In the respins round the multipliers stop being set fresh each spin and instead start at 1x and grow as bottles land.

A green bottle multiplies the bet by the multiplier shown above its own reel and pays that amount. It is the simplest of the three and only ever reads one value from the row.

A red bottle can carry its own random multiplier of up to 100x, and that value is multiplied by the multiplier above its reel. As an illustration of the rule, a red bottle carrying 10x under a reel showing 5x would pay 50x the bet.

A yellow bottle ignores its position. It adds up all five multipliers in the row and applies that total to the bet. As an illustration, a row reading 2x, 5x, 10x, 3x and 20x would make a yellow bottle worth 40x the bet.

That gives the three colours distinct jobs: green rewards landing under a high tag, red can multiply two values together, and yellow rewards a row that is strong across the board.

Three scatters trigger the bonus game, which starts with three respins. The multiplier above each reel is reset to 1x, and only green, red and yellow bottles can land on the grid for the rest of the round.

Each bottle that lands boosts the multiplier above its own reel, by an amount that depends on its colour, and resets the respins count to three. A round therefore lasts as long as bottles keep arriving, and ends after three respins in a row with none.

When the count reaches zero, the five multipliers are added together, the total is applied to the bet and the result is paid. As an illustration, reels finishing at 4x, 9x, 2x, 15x and 6x would add up to 36x the bet, so a round with bottles spread across all five reels builds the total from every side.

The free Heartbreakers demo on this page is the easiest way to see how the multiplier row behaves. In the base game, watch where the high values appear relative to the bottles that land, since a green bottle only reads the tag directly above it.

Count how often red and yellow bottles appear compared with green. Red can stack two multipliers and yellow takes the sum of five, so their frequency shapes the game more than any single tag.

In the bonus, keep an eye on the respins counter. Every bottle sends it back to three, and the final payout depends on how far all five reels have climbed from 1x, not just one hot reel.

Pragmatic Play's game page does not list a bonus buy, so the respins round is reached by landing three scatters. With no published volatility or max win, treat the demo as a guide to how the features work, not to what any spin will pay.

Pragmatic Play says its content is intended for people aged 18 or over, and real-money play should always fit a budget you are comfortable losing.

What is the RTP of Heartbreakers?

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP of Heartbreakers at 96.53% in the Basic Game Info on its official game page, and only that one figure is shown. Volatility and a maximum win are not published there, so check the game's own information screen for anything beyond the RTP before you play.

How do the bottle symbols work in Heartbreakers?

Green bottles pay the bet multiplied by the multiplier above their reel. Red bottles carry a random multiplier of up to 100x that is multiplied by the one above their reel. Yellow bottles add all five reel multipliers together and apply the total to the bet, wherever on the grid they land.

How do you trigger the Heartbreakers bonus?

Land three scatters to start the bonus game with three respins. The multiplier above each reel resets to 1x and only green, red and yellow bottles can land. Each bottle boosts its reel's multiplier and resets the respins to three, and at the end the five multipliers are added together and applied to the bet.
