Love Bugs is a romance-themed video slot from Microgaming set against a Venice canal backdrop, with LadyBug and Love Bug characters as the game’s wild symbols. It runs on a 5-reel grid with 20 paylines, and its main hook is a pair of wilds that trigger a bonus game whenever they land together on the outer reels.

The LadyBug wild on reel 1 and the Love Bug wild on reel 5 are the heart of the game: when both land on the same spin, they trigger a bonus feature built around the couple’s Venice romance. A heart-shaped scatter symbol adds a second path to free spins on top of that. The Venice Canal symbol is the top-paying regular icon, rewarding five-of-a-kind hits across the 20 fixed paylines. It’s a lighter, romance-themed spin on the classic Microgaming wild-and-scatter formula rather than a heavily mechanic-driven slot.
