Heart Throb — Guide

What you will find here

This site is a working guide to the Heart Throb pokie and nothing else. We cover the return-to-player figure and what it means in practice, how the reels and paylines behave, where a free demo is available, and which Australian-facing casinos actually carry the game. We also set out the banking methods each of those casinos accepts, so you can see before you sign up whether your usual deposit route is supported.

We do not publish a page for every pokie on the market. If a game is listed here, it is because we have looked at it directly and can describe what it does. Where we cannot confirm something, we say so rather than filling the gap.

How we check a number before printing it

Every figure on this site is read from the game’s own paytable or from the published help file inside the demo, then checked a second time against a separate session. RTP is quoted as the developer states it, not as an average of our own spins, because a short run of spins tells you very little about a figure calculated over millions.

Where a casino advertises a different RTP from the developer’s default, we note both and say which is which. If we cannot find a figure from a primary source, we leave it out. We would rather have a gap in a table than a number we cannot stand behind.

What we check at the cashier

Before a casino appears on this site we open an account and go through the cashier as a player would. We record which methods are offered, what the minimum and maximum deposits are, whether withdrawal times are stated, and whether any fees attach to either direction.

The cashier accepts VISA, MasterCard and crypto — USDT, BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE and TRX. It does not accept PayID, POLi, Neosurf or BPAY. That list is the same for every casino we list, and we re-check it periodically, because cashiers change without notice and a method that worked last year may be gone.

The affiliate arrangement, stated plainly

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you follow one and sign up, the casino may pay us a commission. That payment does not change what you are charged, and it does not change what we write.

We list casinos because they carry Heart Throb and because the cashier checks out, not because of what they pay. Where a casino pays well and fails our checks, it does not appear. Where a casino pays nothing and passes, it does. You are entitled to know which links earn us money, and every one of them is marked.

When we get something wrong

We will get things wrong sometimes. RTP figures are revised, cashiers drop methods, casinos close to Australian players, and a page written in good faith can be out of date within a month.

When you tell us, we check it and correct the page. Corrections are made to the text itself rather than noted at the bottom, so the page you read is the current one. If a correction changes our view of a casino, that casino comes off the list until it passes the checks again. We do not keep a listing up because it was there last week.
