The Love Boat: life rings, a ship wild and a ticket-draw jackpot
A slot built on the old TV series, with a ship wild, an engine-telegraph bonus and a jackpot run as a ticket draw. Text only: the crew portraits are the show's actors.
A small red-and-white plane pulls a rainbow banner across the sky at the top of the screen, and the reels sit on a cruise ship's wooden deck at sunset. The Love Boat is a Playtech slot based on the 1970s and 80s American TV series, and its top symbols are round photo portraits of the show's crew: the captain in his white cap, the smiling bartender in a bow tie, the cruise director with her short brown bob, and others. Because those are the actors' real faces, this page has no screenshots.
Symbols and lines
The low symbols fit the ship: white life rings, hearts, luggage tags with a heart on them, and a pair of clinking champagne glasses. There's a blue Love Boat logo tile, and the wild is a red cruise ship with hearts on its funnel and WILD written underneath. One banner says 5 wilds pay 3000x the line bet.
The line numbers down each side go up to 25. Four of the five captures use RM0.05 a line, RM1.25 a spin. In one of them a win on line 22 paid RM0.50, with the ship wild filling in a row of hearts. The other capture has the line bet at RM1, so RM25 a spin, and the message "insufficient balance for the requested bet". That tells you how quickly the stake adds up on 25 lines.
The Matchup Bonus
The other special symbol is a brass ship's engine telegraph, its dial marked STOP, CRUISE and BONUS. The banner above the reels says: on reels 1 + 3 + 5 trigger the Matchup Bonus. None of the captures shows it being played.
The old page described two features: a bonus with multipliers named after lines like "Let's just be friends" (1x) and "You're smoking hot" (3x), up to 5x, and Love Doctor free spins, 10 of them with a Love Meter, from three or more logo scatters. I can't confirm either from these screens.
The Dream Cruise Jackpot
On the right there's a tall ticket-shaped panel: The Dream Cruise Jackpot, EUR 10,000, a countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds to Thursday 24 January 2019 at 5:00, an Amount of Tickets counter (0), a My Tickets button and a "last winning ticket" number. So it's a scheduled prize draw, not the usual climbing jackpot, and it's priced in euros even though the reels show RM. The date shows how old these captures are.
Pink Panther is NTC33's other slot based on a show, cartoon rather than live action, and Time for a Deal also has a TV-studio theme. See all NTC33 games, or the NTC33 overview for accounts and top-ups. You can get an NTC33 game ID from a provider.

Questions people ask
How do you trigger the Matchup Bonus in The Love Boat?
The banner above the reels says the engine-telegraph symbol (a brass dial marked STOP, CRUISE and BONUS) on reels 1, 3 and 5 triggers the Matchup Bonus. The bonus itself isn't in the captures.
What is the Dream Cruise Jackpot?
A panel on the right shows a EUR 10,000 prize with a countdown to a set date, an Amount of Tickets counter and a My Tickets button, so it works like a draw rather than a normal progressive. The captures date from January 2019; check INFO for how tickets are earned today.
