Heartbreakers

Heartbreakers is a five-reel slot from Pragmatic Play, released on 11 May 2026, running 20 paylines at an RTP of 96.53% with high volatility and a ceiling of 10,000x the stake. Five multiplier boxes sit above the reels, and the screenshots let us prove exactly how they pay.

A Cabaret In Red Velvet

The reels stand on a music-hall stage framed in bulb lights, with red curtains, a staircase and an audience in silhouette. The symbols are performers and props – a dancer, a strongman, a magician, a cocktail glass, a green lantern and card ranks in gilt frames.

Pragmatic has been making this kind of lush, over-decorated cabinet all year, and Heartbreakers is one of the better-looking examples: warm, busy and legible at the same time.

Five Multipliers Above The Reels

Along the top, one box sits above each reel. They begin at low values and climb as the game goes on.

Across the captures they read x2 / x1 / x1 / x1 / x1 in the base game, then x25 / x10 / x10 / x25 / x25, then x100 / x50 / x50 / x50 / x50, and inside the respins round they reach 33x / 142x / 78x / 37x / 41x.

One box per reel, each climbing independently, is the whole architecture of the game.

How The Round Resolves

The final screenshot is the one that explains everything, and it can be checked twice over.

On the Last Respin, the five boxes read 33x, 142x, 78x, 37x and 41x. Across the middle of the darkened grid the game prints its result: €240.00 X 331.

Add the five multipliers together: 33 + 142 + 78 + 37 + 41 = 331. The payout is the sum of the column multipliers, applied to the base bet – not the product, not the highest one.

The credit counter confirms it. Before the round it reads €38,998.50; after, €118,438.50. The difference is €79,440, which is exactly €240.00 multiplied by 331.

So the respins round is an addition problem. Every increment you add to any column raises the final figure by the same amount, which is unusually fair – there is no single lucky reel that has to cooperate.

The Green Lanterns

The increments arrive as green lanterns landing on the grid, each carrying a value: the captures show +5x, +8x, +15x and +20x.

A lantern adds its value to the box above the column it lands in. That is how one column reaches 142x while its neighbour sits on 37x – and it is why the same round shows 6x / 1x / 61x / 1x / 9x early on and 33x / 142x / 78x / 16x / 14x a few respins later.

A golden medallion symbol also appears among them, and the counter on the left tracks 3 RESPINS LEFT, resetting as new symbols land in the usual hold-and-win fashion.

Cash Symbols In The Base Game

The base game has money of its own. Cash values print directly on symbols – €120.00 tiles in one capture, €240.00, €360.00 and €600.00 in another, and €12,000.00 on green symbols in a third.

Those captures pay €2,640.00, €3,720.00 and €72,000.00 against a €2,400.00 bet – 1.1x, 1.55x and 30x the stake. The first two are ordinary spins; the third has x100 and x50 sitting in the boxes above.

Super Spin: Ten Times The Stake

A SUPER SPIN toggle sits on the left rail, and the numbers show what it costs. The buy panel names the BASE BET as €240.00; with Super Spin active the bet line reads €2,400.00.

That is a tenfold ante – far beyond the 25% or 50% surcharge most studios ask. A SPECIAL BETS button with two further options sits beneath it.

It also reframes every win figure in this review. A €72,000 result looks enormous until you remember the spin cost €2,400, at which point it is thirty times the bet rather than three hundred.

Buying The Respins

The buy menu offers two doors against the €240.00 base bet: RESPINS at €24,000.00 and SUPER RESPINS at €120,000.00.

That is 100x and 500x the base bet. The expensive door promises “minimum 5x on green symbols” – a guaranteed floor on every lantern that lands, which on an additive round compounds directly into the final sum.

The Rule Nobody Reads

Printed in capitals across the top of the buy panel is a line worth knowing: “ALL ANTE AND SUPER SPINS ARE DISABLED DURING FEATURE BUYS.”

You cannot stack the tenfold Super Spin on top of a purchased round. Pragmatic has closed the obvious exploit, and it is to the studio’s credit that the warning sits on the panel itself rather than buried in a rules screen.

RTP And Volatility

At 96.53% the return is above average, and the volatility is rated high. The captures bear that out precisely: two base spins returning about one and a half times the stake, and a respins round returning 331 times the base bet.

Against the stated 10,000x ceiling, that 331x round is around three per cent of the maximum – which, on an additive multiplier round, means the top prize needs the columns to climb roughly thirty times further than this one managed.

Who It Is For

This is for players who want a hold-and-win round with transparent arithmetic. Five columns, values that only ever go up, and a total that is simply their sum – you can read your position at a glance and know what one more lantern is worth.

The reservation is the cost of playing it properly. A tenfold Super Spin, a 100x buy and a 500x super-buy put this firmly at the expensive end of Pragmatic’s catalogue, and the base game between rounds returns close to nothing.
