Before taking a time of leisure with the doc, you need to adjust your bets. Starting from left to right, first set of "Up/Down Arrow" buttons regulate the number of lines. Next to it is another set of "Up/Down arrows" that regulate coins size which ranges from 0.02 to 4. The button with carved "Club and Heart" symbols is used to activate the gamble feature. Next to it is "Autoplay" button used to set the reels in motion for a chosen number of times automatically and without interruption. "Play" button etched in a heart-shaped button is used to start the reels.
Doctor Love on Vacation slot has a Wild symbol, a Scatter, a Gamble feature, and a Free Spins bonus round to offer. Wild symbol of the game is the Doctor himself. This symbol can substitute for all symbols except the scatter. It can make its own winning combinations if you land 2 or more of them on an active pay-line.
The Scatter symbol is a surfboard and it can form its own winning combos should you land 2 or more of them anywhere on the reels. Any scatter win is multiplied by the total amount staked. Scatter wins depend on the number of symbols and they can be 2, 5, 15 or 100.
If you land 3 or more scatter symbols you will activate Free Spins feature. Again, depending on the number of scatters landed on the reels, you can win 12, 16 or 20 free spins. Moreover, any winning combo you hit during this feature will be tripled. Also, Free Spins feature can be retriggered which means you can win more money.
Any winning combo makes you eligible to play Gamble feature. Should you decide to gamble your winnings you can do so by clicking on the "Gamble" button. You need to try to predict the next card to be drawn. If you guess the color your winnings will be doubled, and if you guess the suit they will be quadrupled. The limit is 5 guesses in a row per win. However, if you make a wrong guess you will lose everything, and you will be taken back to the base game.

You could play two versions of this game, Doctor Love or Doctor Love on Vacation. He probably got tired and decided to take his personnel on a short but well deserved relaxation on some fancy beach. It's all about love and its synonyms when we talk about the theme and symbols in this game. Too many hearts, and even the spin button represents a heart itself. I like the design and the colors here too, they make me feel more comfortable, but I chose to keep its sound off as it is a bit annoying and I can't stand it really.
As for me, I am not satisfied with both versions of this video slot. I had no success at all and it doesn't look fun to me. It's a 5-reels 25-paylines video slot, playable from 0.20 cents bet per spin, which is my bet size for most of my sessions. Dr Love is the Wild symbol and it substitutes all symbols except for the scatter symbol, which is the surfboard, and another positive fact is that it doubles all wins. Collecting five of a kind means getting a 5000 coins prize, and that is great. On the other hand, the Scatter pays only 100x the bet total amount for five of a kind, which is a bit low.
If you manage to collect 3 or more Scatters, then you'll get 12, 16 or 20 free spins and all wins are multiplied. The Wild does another great thing during the Free Spins feature, and all wins with the Wild will pay 6x. I had 12 free spins but it paid only 30x my total bet. I wish I could tell this game to produce some amazing wins for me, but I don't see how that would be possible. It definitely is missing some good features and higher win values, because only the Doctor Love symbol could pay something significant if you collect five of its kind, or if your total bet is high enough, or you are lucky enough to trigger the Free Spins feature with many Wilds appearing many times.
