Cupid’s Crush

Cupid’s Crush is a Wicked Games scatter-pay slot released on February 11, 2026. The grid is 6 reels by 5 rows, wins need 8 or more matching symbols anywhere, and the splash screen gives the max win as 5000x. Wicked Games lists the default RTP at 96.18% and a bet range of 0.20 to 400. The studio rates volatility at 2.5 out of 5, and the demo’s volatility meter shows two and a half of five icons lit, so it sits on the calmer side.

The theme is Valentine’s Day done in pastel: a winged Cupid on a cloud, chocolate hearts, heart-shaped padlocks, potion bottles and gems in four shapes, with a woman in a laurel wreath as the top symbol.

Base game

Winning symbols disappear and new ones fall in, and the chain continues until nothing pays. Multiplier hearts can land in any mode. The base screenshot shows tiles reading 5x, 10x and 20x, and the official page puts the range at 2x to 100x, with multipliers stacking on the same cascade sequence.

The paytable in the demo, at a 1.00 bet, gives the top symbol 5.00 for 8 to 9 matching symbols, 25.00 for 10 to 11, 35.00 for 12 to 13, and 50.00 for 29 to 30. Those are the exact amounts on screen.

Free spins with sticky clusters

Three scatters, drawn as sealed love letters, start 10 free spins. The change from the base game is that a winning cluster does not vanish. It stays on the board, drops to the bottom and grows as matching symbols land next to it during later cascades. By the end of a round the lower rows can be packed solid, as the demo showed in one spin where only a few top tiles were still empty.

Mystery symbols join in here. Wicked Games says they can upgrade a cluster, add a multiplier or award extra spins. Collected multipliers feed a progressive multiplier that rises whenever a natural multiplier lands, and a big x12 badge sat beside the grid during the demo round.

Four scatters trigger Super Free Spins. The structure is the same, but the accumulated total multiplier applies to every win.

Buy and ante options

• Buy Bonus: 85x the bet for the standard free spins (listed as 85X in the buy menu).
• Super Buy Bonus: 275x the bet, guaranteeing four scatters and the Super Free Spins.
• Wicked Booster (ante bet): 1.5x the bet, which the page says triples the chance of triggering any free spins.

One bought round

The demo run used the 275x option on a 1.00 bet, so 275.00 left the balance. The round opened with a Love, Fully Unleashed message and 10 Super Free Spins. An Epic Win banner showed 98.27 with a x12 multiplier in play, one cascade line read 12 x 1.25, and the round finished on a total of 165.00. That is 60% of the buy price, a single result and not an indication of what the feature returns on average.

Caveats

The 5000x cap is low compared with the 10,000x and above that many bonus-buy slots list, and the base game leans on multiplier tiles to pay anything notable. Reviewers on the Wicked Games page describe the game as relaxed and constrained, which matches the volatility rating. Players who want large swings will find less here than in the studio’s other releases. As with any operator-configured game, check the RTP shown in the game’s own info screen, since casinos can run other versions.
