Dream Date Pokie Review

Dream Date Pokie Reviewed

The one thing I particularly liked about Dream Date was that I was given a choice to pick when the action takes place. It is something that provides a unique playing experience and sets this game apart from its rivals.

Game Symbols

Although this pokie hit the market in 2018, its visuals look much older. The surroundings look like they are from a cheesy love novel. You have a garden, a grid with columns on both sides, and symbols that feature long-haired men in unbuttoned shirts.

Speaking of symbols, the paytable is divided into lows and premiums. Card suit symbols award meagre payouts. Their design is generic, and there is nothing that gives them a distinctive look.

Higher-paying symbols vary depending on the era you choose at the start of the game. Both offer four dream dates, a Don Juan-like guy, pirate, gladiator, or a woodcutter in the past: a secret agent, motorcycle rider, firefighter, or a pool cleaner, in the present. Each of the girls appears in her corresponding era.

I also encountered Wild and the Scatter symbols. The latter also awarded payouts, with 2 of a kind enough to produce a reward.

Grid Layout & Gameplay

The love story takes place on a grid consisting of 5 reels and 3 rows. Instead of traditional paylines, the pokie offers 243 different ways to win on every spin. Forming a winning combination requires landing 3 matching symbols. The only exception is Scatter, paying for 2 of a kind.

Medium volatility makes Dream Date suitable for all Kiwi players, regardless of their experience, while the RTP of 96.45% is above the industry average. I also found that betting options are pretty decent, starting at $0.10 and going up to $60 per spin.

On the other hand, the maximum win potential doesn’t promise a happy ending, as 1,800x was really disappointing.
