Romeo and Juliet

Romeo & Juliet Slots

On the reels of a slot machine. The story of Romeo and Juliet is one of our most iconic themes in Western culture. This time, it will be up to you to decide whether Romeo and Juliet lived up to the challenge. Read our full review of the game below.

Classic Setup for a Classic Story

Quite a basic setup. Romeo and Juliet remains classic in terms of background music as well, with a rather uninspired melody playing relentlessly throughout the game. The Pragmatic Play creation neither stands out nor impresses in terms of pure game design. However, the backdrop of Romeo and Juliet shows a night sky under the full moon, with fluffy clouds floating around. The reels are set in a simple dark rectangular frame that floats on top of the background. Nothing more, nothing less.

How to Play

The (+) and (-) buttons located in the lower right-hand corner of the game screen. You have five spinning reels featuring three symbols each to bet on, with a total of 25 fixed paylines on screen. The reels will spin automatically, placing your personalised bet per line. You can come back to the regular game mode at any time, but rest assured that your winnings will be automatically added to your credit total as you score them.

A Low-Key Paytable

The number 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace are part of the first group. The second group of symbols contains a Bottle of Poison, a White Rose, and a Bottle of Poison. These symbols are inspired by playing cards and only bring modest cash rewards to the table. The third group of symbols contains a Bottle of Poison, and two mysterious characters from the famous play. The graphics stay, however, rather basic.

Special Features

A few reels that feature two Wild symbols, representing the two protagonists of the Romeo and Juliet story. The Bonus symbols, both Wilds, will replace any other symbol to create more winning combinations and will also slowly move towards the centre, one spot at a time. If the two Wilds meet in the middle of the screen, they will turn the entire reel into a solid block of Wilds that remain in place during the 25 Free Spins that ensue.

An ambitious project that somehow fell flat

Despite its title, Romeo and Juliet slot game Pragmatic Play is generic and generic, with standard features and real winning possibilities of course, but not as exciting as you might think it would be. The Bonus feature is original and gives access to plenty of free games, but unfortunately also hard to trigger. Notably, this slot game has standard features and real winning possibilities, but not as exciting as you might think it would be.
