Kiss Of The Rose Power Bet Slot Review
Twilight over a blue-wooded valley, a pale castle tower rising behind the reels, ivy gripping the wooden frame: the painting does a lot of the courting here. High 5 Games have dressed Kiss Of The Rose Power Bet in full romantic gothic, but the game’s real character is narrower than its artwork. It runs on a 5×4 grid with 243 ways to win and a 96.0% RTP, and nearly everything that matters, wilds and scatters alike, sits on the middle three reels.
The studio’s output elsewhere, from Da Vinci DeluxeWays to Dangerous Beauty Jackpot, tends to favour ornate presentation over mechanical novelty, and that’s the register here too. The whole payout model hangs on rose wilds carrying multipliers, with a free games round that hands you a variance dial. Twelve spins at 5x or three at 24x – the choice is genuinely yours.
Base Game, Symbols and Rose Wilds
Wins are evaluated across 243 ways, so any symbol landing on consecutive reels from the left can pay, regardless of position. It’s a standard ways setup and it needs no further explanation. The paying ladder is where the game shows its shape.
- Kiss of the Rose logo: 10 / 50 / 150 / 600 for two, three, four and five of a kind
- Red-haired woman and Owl: 5 / 30 / 100 / 300
- Necklace, Hand mirror and Ring: 20 / 50 / 150 for three, four and five
- A, K, Q and J royals: 10 / 25 / 75 for three, four and five
The top three symbols all pay from two of a kind, so the ladder is a conventional one that simply starts one step early. The logo has the most reach: at 600 for five, it pays double what the woman or the owl manage, and eight times the jewellery tier. Everything below drops away steeply, which puts real weight on the wilds to bridge the gaps.
The wilds do the heavy lifting. Pink, yellow and red rose wilds substitute for all non-wild symbols except the castle scatter, and they land only on reels two, three and four. Each carries a 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier, and when more than one appears, their values are summed rather than multiplied – a spin with a 3x and a 4x rose pays at 7x.
That summing rule is where the base game’s character lives. Because the roses sit on the middle three reels, they’re always in the heart of a winning way, and a reel stacked with them can turn a modest line into something much bigger. Three wilds at 4x each would put 12x behind a single win.
The castle scatter also appears only on the middle three reels and pays nothing on its own. Its entire job is to open the bonus door: three of them anywhere on reels two, three and four start the Bonus Select.
Because both the scatter and the wilds share the same three reels, the middle of the grid is where nearly everything in this game happens.
Bonus Select and Free Games
Triggering the scatter awards one pick from five options, and the pick is a straight variance dial: fewer spins with bigger multipliers, or more spins with smaller ones. The Free Games Bonus begins the moment the pick is used. Each option looks like this:
- Option 1: three free games, multipliers 9x, 15x, 24x
- Option 2: five free games, multipliers 6x, 9x, 15x
- Option 3: seven free games, multipliers 5x, 6x, 9x
- Option 4: nine free games, multipliers 4x, 5x, 6x
- Option 5: twelve free games, multipliers 3x, 4x, 5x
Free Games Rules
The round plays out on a different set of reels at the same ways and bet multiplier as the triggering spin. It does not retrigger: no free game can award more free games, and the round simply ends when the count reaches zero. What changes is the wilds.
In place of the pink, yellow and red roses, gold rose wilds take over reels two, three and four. Each awards a 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 9x, 15x or 24x multiplier, and again multiple golds sum their values rather than multiply. The option you picked determines which of those multipliers can actually appear, which is what makes the choice real.
The three-spin option can put a 24x multiplier behind a win, while the twelve-spin option caps out at 5x but gives the roses twelve chances to stack. Two golds at the top tier would sit at 48x combined behind a single way. That’s the whole argument for the short route; the long route argues back with volume.
Power Bet Options
The Power Bet in the title is a pair of toggled side bets, and only one may be active at any time. Add Wilds raises the stake to 80 per spin and adds wilds to the reels. Add Wilds & Multiplier raises the stake to 200 per spin and adds both wilds and multipliers to play.
That’s a steep step between the two tiers, and there’s no stated base stake to weigh either against. All credit wins are shown without bet modifiers, so the paytable figures read the same whichever Power Bet is running.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
This is a game for sitting back in. The base game plays at a stroll, the middle three reels do nearly all the work, and the gothic painting makes the quiet stretches easy company. The reason to choose it over a plainer ways slot is that one decision in the Bonus Select: three spins at up to 24x or twelve at up to 5x, made once, and it genuinely matters which way you go.
That choice is the best thing about the game. Every option has a route to a serious multiplier through the gold roses. The round around it is thinner: there’s no retrigger, so the bonus is over almost as soon as it begins, and the Power Bet tiers ask a lot of trust at 200 a spin with nothing to measure them against.
It suits players who enjoy an unhurried, well-drawn fantasy slot and don’t need a retrigger loop or an enormous ceiling to stay interested. Anyone chasing those will want a darker forest than this one. Everyone else can take the rose at its word.
