She’s beautiful and she will leave some very permanent marks on your heart – it’s none other than the Madame Ink slot by Play’n GO.
Can we just say that we really loved what Play’n GO did with this slot game theme? Set in the back alley of Hong Kong somewhere, you are probably a little bit tipsy, in a bad neighbourhood, with a bad idea.
And so you enter a little shop filled with some of the most beautiful oriental tattoo art you’ll see, you’ll know those are the high paying symbols. The dragon, the lion, the demon, the crane… just watching them makes you want to place them somewhere indiscreet.
Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs complete the set of low paying symbols. But those won’t tattoo their way into your wallet. That would be Madame Ink herself who appears on screen to transform you.
In the base games you get wilds, scatters, and mystery symbols. The mystery symbols are two koi fishes swimming in opposite directions and when they land they can all turn into one singular symbol.
The good news is that they show up often. The better news is that in combination with the Madame Mystery reel feature, these can be explosive.
Why? Because Madame Ink herself will show up and cover reel 3. She will then turn into one of the high paying symbols and turn all other mystery symbols into that symbol.
If that wasn’t enough, the inkpot can, randomly, from time to time, expand to cover the whole reel. Both these features add an exciting touch to this Play’n GO slot game online.
The good news is that unlike mobile slot games such as the Helloween slot or the Rabbit Hole Riches review, there are no multipliers. Why is that good? It means the big wins are purely thanks to a generous paytable.
The bad news is that in order to reach that top win amount you’ll have to be a little bit brave and bow down to Madame Ink slot wishes.
If you get 3 scatters you’ll have a choice: will you play 12 spins where every wild expands? 6 free spins where Madam Ink Mystery reel is always at play? Or 3 free spins where you get both?
Of course, the only answer is to get those 3 spins and just get covered in as much ink as possible. If you don’t think you’ll be brave enough… well, this medium variance game can still be enjoyable, just walk away if you get anywhere near a 100x your bet max win.

Wild: The inkpot is the wild symbol and can replace any other symbol on the reel to create a win.
Wild Ink: The Ink symbol is the wild symbol and when it lands, there's a chance that it may randomly turn into an expanded wild to cover the whole reel.
Madame's Mystery: The centre 3 reel can randomly turn into the Madame. By the end of the spin, she will turn a stack of 3 matching high paying tattoo symbols. All mystery symbols on the reels will then equally transform to match.
Scatters and Free Spins: The 'S' snake symbol is the scatter symbol and 3 or more trigger the Madame Ink slot bonus. You'll then get to pick from one of the following:
We love that Play'n GO can create an Oriental slot theme that feels genuine, without feeling generic.
We love even more that this tattoo artist isn't as dangerous as some of their other games of 2020, such as the Doom of Dead slot or the Shield of Athena slot game.
With a medium variance giving you lots of little wins, and three bonus features, players of every type will be able to find a free spin to suit them.
Of course, you'll have to be brace and play those 3 spins if you want to hope to reach that 5,000x your bet top win, but even if you don't, we suspect you'll have fun playing this real money slot.
