Lock It Link (ACE333): the value hearts, the diamond free-games trigger and the gamble card

Lock It Link is a purple nightlife slot: a grand staircase on both sides, martini glasses and diamond rings on the reels, and red hearts that carry prizes. This page focuses on the parts that are not ordinary line wins: the hearts, the diamond and the gamble card.

The screen

The reels are 5 columns by 3 rows in a pink frame. Above them are four bars: GRAND (about 2,897,400 and climbing), MAJOR (about 290,460), MINOR 2500 and MINI 500. Below them, from left to right: INFO, CASH, the LOCK IT LINK logo, an X1 button and BET 50, then a big green SPIN that says "HOLD FOR AUTOSPIN".

The symbols are a woman with red hair, a large cut diamond, gold bars, a diamond ring, a gold watch, dice, a martini and four card-suit shapes (club, diamond, heart, spade) as the low pays.

The hearts

Red hearts show a credit value in white: 1k, 300 and once 4.55k. Gold hearts show MINI instead of a number. The hero capture has five hearts on the top two rows at once.

In the Lock It Link series, landing enough hearts starts the feature the game is named after. The hearts lock in place, you get a small number of respins, and each new heart puts the count back up. When the respins run out, the values on the hearts are paid. A jackpot heart pays its bar. The screenshots stop short of that feature, so the exact trigger count is not shown; the rule is in INFO.

The diamond and the stacked gold bars

A message under the reels reads "3 [diamond] triggers FREE GAMES". One diamond tile is on reel 4 in two of the captures, so you need two more.

Gold bars can stack to fill a whole reel. In one spin they covered reel 3 and the strip read "Pays 10 x 3 x 1 = 30", which reads as a base pay of 10, times 3 (most likely the three stacked bars or ways), times the X1 multiplier. WIN showed 45 for that spin in total.

The gamble card

Tapping GAMBLE after that 45 opened a separate card screen. RED or BLACK pays 90, and choosing one of the four suits pays 180. HISTORY shows past cards, and TAKE WIN banks the amount and goes back. The captured card was the ace of clubs, so a black guess won.

Pacing

At BET 50 the cash moved from 4,213 to 4,168 across the session. Gamble doubles the swing either way, so on a fixed budget take the small wins and let the hearts do the work.
