At first glance, Macarons doesn’t really scream Endorphina. The Russian studio is better known for rougher, old-school slots like Garage and Fruit Cocktail — games where the charm lies in their strangeness. Macarons? It feels… almost gentle. Pastel colors, Parisian themes, sugary visuals. But don’t let that fool you — this slot is still very much an Endorphina product under the icing.
If you’ve played anything from Endorphina before, you’ll spot the DNA right away. The game has that signature clunky-but-endearing layout, classic 5×3 reels, and paylines that don’t always behave the way modern slots do. There’s no slick interface or cinematic intro. You hit “Start,” and you’re in.
The theme is loosely tied to French desserts — mostly macarons, but with occasional roses, cups of coffee, and rings that seem a bit too shiny for a pastry shop. There’s no deep storyline here, just a light atmosphere and a feeling that maybe, just maybe, this machine was designed by someone going through a romantic phase.
Macarons does a few things well:
Simplicity: No confusing mechanics or buy-ins
Risk Game: Classic Endorphina double-or-nothing card gamble
Bonus round: You can land a picking-style bonus tied to matching sweet symbols
Surprise volatility: It can feel calm until suddenly it’s not
But it also has its quirks. The audio loop gets repetitive fast. The symbols aren’t especially detailed. And the bonus game — while nostalgic — won’t blow anyone away who’s used to more modern features.

If you’re already a fan of Endorphina, Macarons will likely scratch the same itch — just with softer colors and less yelling fruit. It’s a slower burn. There’s charm in its awkwardness, and something comforting in the fact that it’s not trying to be flashy. You spin, you match, you risk a win, and maybe you smile a bit when a tray of sweets pays out. Newer players might not get it. That’s fine. Macarons wasn’t made for them.
