Lucky Twins

Theme

The rich history and culture of Far East has been great inspiration for developers of online games. Some might argue that there are already too many titles revolving around this theme but we’re sure many players would disagree.

This time, Microgaming is taking us to China where having twins is thought of as particularly fortunate because one- child policy of the country doesn’t apply in this case.

The reels …

… are set on the red background with golden confetti flowing through the air. The soundtrack is upbeat with the oriental vibe and it adds to celebratory atmosphere.

Good graphics and great design is probably the first things players will notice and when the winning combos start lining up, they’ll be able to see some subtle animations.

Betting Options and Symbols

The slot grid consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and 9 fixed paylines.

The bet range goes from 2.25 up to 45 $ per spin.

When it comes to symbols, they stand out nicely on the dark green background and all of them are in sync with the theme.

The low – value icons …

… are standard 10, J, Q, K and A. They all incorporate symbols of Chinese culture so A is represented with snakes, K with a dragon and Q with a fan. Anyone of those will get the player between 500 and 750 coins for landing 5 on the line.

AND …

… on the higher end of the paytable are Lucky Cat waving hello, Chinese Dream catcher and Firecrackers. For the ultimate combination of 5 on the payline, Cat will reward you with 3.000 coins, Dream catcher with 2.500 and Firecrackers with 1.500 coins.

Special Features

Differently from original fruit machines, in this day and age we are used to certain perks when playing online slots. Special features offering bonus spins, multipliers and other additions to base game have become common occurrence. 

Unfortunately and surprisingly, …

… this release is rather bare in regard to extra action. Players will have to rely on Wild and Scatter icons.

Scatter is represented by golden ingot and by landing 3 or more anywhere in the view will activate multipliers. 3 Scatters will reward you 4.5 times total bet, 4 with 22.5 times total bet while 5 of them will get you 112.5 times the bet.

The other symbol to watch out for is the Wild. Represented by two beautiful Chinese girls holding a trey of golden ingots, Wild can replace any symbols on the payline except for Scatter and help players archive more winning combinations.

Conclusion

This is a pretty simple release with no extraordinary bonus features.

Microgaming is one of the best known developers of the gaming world and this is definitely not their best work. But with great design and soundtrack, they managed to create an immersive atmosphere. The only downside, and not really the small one, is the lack of additional perks.
