Whenever Valentine’s Day comes around, you can always expect a few new slots themed around the special occasion and love in general. However, the Push Gaming slot, Hearts Highway, has left me somewhat confused concerning its theme. The name suggests the slot is about love, and the game’s central aspect revolves around heart symbols – but when you power it up, the backdrop is of what looks like a motorway/highway service station complete with a diner, motel, and gas station. I’m not getting much of a love vibe from that, to be honest. Perhaps it’s about a Valentine’s date combining each of those locations? Either way, Hearts Highway is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 20-fixed payline slot with a 10,000x max win and a 96.44% RTP.
As mentioned, Hearts are the focus of this latest Push Gaming slot, as these are what could bring that 10,000x max win. You collect them from the base game and free spins bonus spins and via unique slot machine symbols and subsequent mini-games, and should you land enough of them on a single spin, that epic instant prize win will come your way.
Push Gaming has proved over time it is a slot developer capable of winning our hearts via engaging gameplay and innovative bonus features, but will this slot do the same, or will it give you no choice but to stand it up over Valentine’s season? A few spins on the Hearts Highway demo slot below should make up your mind.

Hearts Highway Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Although the theme of Hearts Highway has yet to convince me, I will give it the benefit of the doubt. However, it doesn’t look the most romantic of settings, so if you’re after love-themed slots that better capture what the 14th of February is all about, why not check out BGaming’s Wild Heart first and foremost? Sure, the main characters are Racoons, but love is love! Other notable mentions include Moon Princess Power of Love and Love is in the Fair, both of which are Play’n Go slots. Right, there are plenty of recommendations there to make you feel soppy for the rest of the year, so let’s crack on with today’s review and move on over to the pays section.
I’ve already mentioned the Heart symbols and their importance on the Hearts Highway slot, but what about the regular symbols? Well, these will take you back to fruit machines of old as there’s the Red Seven worth 30x the stake when found five times across a payline, Bells which pay 22.5x for the same number of matching symbols, and the Red and Green Bars, which pay up to 12.5x, and 10x, respectively, whilst the Cherries, Watermelons, Limes, and Blueberries all share a 3.5x the stake maximum reward. Additionally, the Wild Symbol pays out alongside substituting for other symbols and is worth 30x the stake if landed five times across a payline.
There are 12 stakes, ranging from a low of €0.10 to a high of €100.00, available on Hearts Highway for those looking to play for real money. This is a fairly standard betting range across online slots, and I don’t see too many players having a problem here with regard to finding a suitable bet size.
Hearts Highway Slot Base Game & Modifiers
The Hearts Highway slot utilises a traditional 5-reel and 3-row configuration that offers 20-fixed paylines, and you’ll win a payout each time three or more regular symbols line up across one of those paylines from left to right. As for the base game features, these all focus on Red Heart symbols, which could deliver the slot’s max win of 10,000 stake.
Red Heart Instant Win Symbols
Scooping the max win on the Hearts Highway slot is achieved via the Red Hearts Instant Win feature, which plays a part in the base game and the free spins bonus. Each time you land four or more heart symbols anywhere in view, you’ll receive an instant prize as a multiplier of your spin bet. The minimum you’ll receive is 2x your stake for the four symbols, but that multiplier increases the more that land – hit ten on the same spin, and you’re laughing all the way to the bank with a 10,000x payout.
Slot Machine
The most interesting symbol you’ll come across when spinning the reels of Hearts Highway is the slot machine, which can land on the first or last reels during either game mode. If it lands once on either reel and a Red Heart also lands anywhere in view, the Slot Machine will spin to reveal between 0 and 3 Red Hearts – which add to those already collected in the Instant Win metre above the reels.
Heart Slot Machine Mini Game
Should you land the Slot Machine symbol on both the 1st and last reels, the mini-game triggers that, again, could increase the number of Red Heart symbols collected in the instant win meter above the reels. The two slot machines combined to provide a 6-reel slot machine with a single payline, and the reels spin to reveal blanks, Red Hearts, or Double Red Hearts. Each time a new symbol lands on the payline, it locks in place for the duration of the game and the reels spin again. The spins will only stop when no new Heart or Double Hearts land.
Push Bet
For 20% on top of your current spin bet, the Push Bet feature will increase your chances of triggering the free spins bonus game.
Hearts Highway Slot Bonus Features
The main bonus round in Hearts Highway has one main feature, and the number of free spins you receive depends on how many scatter symbols land on the triggering base game spin.
- 3 Scatters: Gives you 10 Free Spins.
- 4 Scatters: Gives you 12 Free Spins & 1 collected Golden Heart symbol above one of the three middle reels.
- 5 Scatters: Gives you 15 Free Spins & 3 collected Golden Heart symbols for the metres above the three middle reels.
Free Spins Feature
During the free spins whenever Golden Heart symbols land on the three middle reels during the free spins, they’re collected in a collection metre above each reel. Collecting the full three symbols required will transform that reel into a locked entire reel of hearts, and you’ll also receive an additional free spin.
Free Spins Heart Slot Machine
This feature plays out similarly to the Heart Slot Machine mini-game in the base game – although this time, the reels contain Red Hearts, Double Hearts, and now the Golden Hearts symbols, as well as blanks. The reels continue to spin until no new Heart symbols land on them, and at the end, all collected will contribute to the Instant Win metre above the base game reels.
Bonus Buy
If you enjoy playing bonus buy feature slots, and you’d rather bypass the base game altogether in Hearts Highway, you can use the feature buy option, which will give you a random number of triggering scatter symbols for 75x the current stake.
Pros
- A good combination of base game and free spins features accompany the Heart Ladder Collection instant win feature, which can deliver up to 10,000x.
Cons
- RTP varies from 96.44% to 88.54% (depending on the casino).
Hearts Highway Slot Review Final Thoughts
Hearts Highway probably isn't what you'd expect when you load up a Push Gaming slot, but it does offer some entertaining features and the potential for a few big wins.
