When it comes to placing the stake, the game is pretty straightforward – no need to choose coin value or the bet level. Simply place the amount you want to wager, starting as low as $0.20 while the maximum goes up to $10 per spin.

As usual, low-value symbols are playing cards, while those of higher value include the telephone, vinyl record and red roses. You'll need to land at least three of a kind anywhere on the reels to start receiving payouts.

But, if you're looking to grab some serious cash, be on a lookout for the game's Bonus and Free Spins features.

The Femme Fatale is the game's Wild and can substitute for all other symbols, excluding the Scatter Spins and the Bonus symbols. The Scatter symbol features the Detective and landing a minimum of three of them will trigger the Free Spins feature. Depending whether you land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters, you'll receive 8, 12 and 20 spins respectively along with a random multiplier, extra Stacked Wilds and the possibility to retrigger the game. While the feature is active, the Bonus cannot be triggered.

The Starlite Bonus is triggered when 3 Bonus symbols land on the reels 1, 3 and 5. This is a five-stage pick game and every completed level gets you closer to the big party. There are three types of bonus items – Prizes, Advances, Win-alls and Collects. The first two items are pretty much self-explanatory, while Win-alls items award all prizes in the level and advances to the next level. Collect items award the prize and end the Bonus.

La Rouge also has the Gamble feature, an optional double or nothing game, which is available after any Main Game win. You can place a wager on red or black, while the session ends after 5 wins in a row, or after a losing bet.

As mentioned earlier, this is a medium volatile game, with an expected return to player of 95.02%.
