Romancing the Slots

This slot game has nothing in common with the book “The Secret Garden” except there is a locked gate that leads to a secret garden.  But secret gardens have always held a romantic appeal for me.  That little secret place where I can go to be alone, sit quietly sipping a cup of tea and read a good romance novel. Or sometimes a mystery novel (Check out “Vanish with the Rose” for a great garden focused romantic suspense by Barbara Michaels.)  But when I need to retreat to a secret garden and I’m trap inside with a computer, this is a slot game that works for me.  The design of the game suggest a walled garden with its vines and garden symbols.  There are roses of course but also squirrels and rabbits, fountains and watering cans. And a secret garden gate and a key.  The Garden Gate symbol will award you free spins of you hit three or more.  But the Key is the bonus icon and three of those will unlock the secret garden.

Sometimes I set myself a writing break goal like that I can play until I win some free spins or get a bonus round. Then I get back to the novel in progress.  Aiming for the bonus round generally means a fairly decent break time, so don’t expect to hit the bonus round too often.  But spinning the reels gives me plenty of time to think through a plot point. But if you play for money, the free spins will also do a lot toward boosting your bankroll.  You can also win free spins during the free spin round, which really helps out the bankroll.

The bonus round unlocks the gate to the secret garden where your challenge is to water as many plants as you can to revive the garden. You’ll earn coins by collecting flowers and possibly find the key to the next garden room. It’s a relaxing game in keeping with the theme of the game and one that will leave you feeling satisfied with your winnings.  If you like gardening and slots, this is the perfect game. Many people are surprised how many slots players are women, but Rival took that into account when creating this game.

Well, I hit the bonus round, so now back to plotting the next chapter.
