Secret Admirer
Heavy thought: In the post-postmodern world is love now nothing but a subgenre? If it is, those folks at Microgaming software have done it up right enough in Secret Admirer.
Themed on a romantic masque – you know, like the one wherein Juliet met Romeo – the background music is awash the sensitive R&B background and the Mark Knopfleresque guitar chords (yes!) on a win. The 9-payline Secret Admirer’s reels are filled with hot red bandit masks, gorgeous deep-red roses and other symbols of that most delicious and painful emotion ... but, um, again, what's up with the poker run (especially since it depressingly goes down to 7!) in this game? Isn't strip poker a tad presumptuous this early on for nearly anyone but The Os Man? (Heh heh.)
An aside, if you will: How about this? Instead of the one-millionth A-K-Q-J-et cetera, how about they’d used the letters "L," "O," "V," and "E" here, hmm? Hell, they could have thrown in "I", "Y" and "U" to complete those three little words. Decent idea, eh?
And no bonus round? Come on! The Os Man knows it’s rare (if extant at all) in 9-reel games, but still ... the player doesn’t even get to meet his/her secret admirer? What a tease. LCD rating: 69/100.
