When it comes to slots that are clearly aimed primarily at women, there’s an endless debate to have. On one side, women who like slot games shouldn’t be assumed to need ‘feminine’ subject matter in order to want to play. However, there are also countless games with very ‘masculine’ themes so the balance seems fair.Whatever your opinion on the matter, there are video slots in the world that are designed to appeal to the female market, and Microgaming’s Dream Date is certainly one of them.
About the slot
Available at all Microgaming casinos, Dream Date is a five-reel slot with 243 ways to win that is playable from 15p to £60 on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.Dream Date feels lazy from a design perspective. It isn’t unattractive, necessarily, but it certainly doesn’t match up to the visual quality we are used to with Microgaming titles.Yo get to choose between the modern day or a historical, Jane Austen style era, and either way you’re looking to find a date.
Gameplay
The slot has a Hot Zones feature, which sounds ruder than it is. What these zones mean is that if you land the female main character and any date in the Hot Zones, you’ll pick up a cash prize.Land three or more scatters here and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature, while those scatters alongside Hot Zones and a Dream date will give 16 free spins.The Dream Date symbol is wild during the feature too, and will expand if it lands on the middle reel, giving you a fully wild reel.The gameplay and features are okay here, nothing mind-blowing, but certainly better than the design.If it’s your thing, you’ll probably find joy in this slot, but all in all, it’s a pretty lacklustre effort by Microgaming’s high standards.
