Intro

Coming from one of the iGaming world’s top game developers, NetEnt, you can expect something new, and you won’t be disappointed. In Twin Spin they’ve taken a classic, old-school, more minimalist design and given it a makeover. This 5-reel, 243 ways to win modern video slot has a clean, uncluttered, more traditional design, making it refreshingly simple compared to some of the visually busy, more detailed games out there. That’s not to say this is a boring game, far from it. The innovative Twin Spin feature will set your pulses racing!

Twin Spin Features

Harking back to a simpler time, this fruit-machine style slot has few features, but what it does offer packs a hefty punch. Every spin, yes you read that right, “every” spin starts with 2 adjacent reels locked together and displaying identical symbols – the twin spin feature of the title. There’s a two-fold buzz of excitement with this game. First, the starting position of these twin spin reels varies every time. Second, they can potentially expand to take over 3, 4 or even all 5 reels simultaneously – which is when you can win the big bucks!

Symbols

Staying true to the feel of a traditional one-armed bandit, the symbols are all what you’d expect to find on a vintage fruit machine. The low payers are symbols from a card deck – with 9, 10 and Jack rewarding you with 25 coins for landing 5 on a payline, while the Queen, King and Ace will get you 40 coins for 5. The design for each of these uses straightforward, clear numbers or letter – no gimmicks or frills – just as you’d expect from the old-school machines in a Vegas casino.

The high paying symbols are again old familiar favourites – given the NetEnt graphics’ magic treatment. You’ll find a pair of plump red cherries and a golden bell, that each garner you 250 coins for landing 5. Next we have the classic bar worth 400 coins, the 7 worth 500 coins and finally a massive diamond worth the top prize of 1000 coins for landing 5. Last, but not least, there’s a wild – literally just that, the word WILD. This can appear anywhere on reels 2-4 and substitutes for any other symbol to land you bigger wins.

Bonuses

Bonus Spins

There are no bonus games or spins in Twin Spin. However, it’s a popular game with players and one that many casinos will often include in bonus spin promotions – so do check regularly to see if you can grab a few bonus spins as a freebie. Of course, in the game itself, the Twin Spins feature is a bonus as it really does ramp up the excitement. Look out for the glowing red lights at the start of every spin. They signal which 2 reels will be tied, and keep watching to see if they’ll expand!

Twin Spin Jackpots

As with bonuses, there is no jackpot as such in Twin Spins. However, if the symbols land sweetly for you, there is the possibility of claiming a maximum prize of 1080 times your stake. If you had bet the maximum number of coins (25) at the top level (10), this would give you 250 coins x 1080, meaning you could win a massive 270000 coins. Setting your coin value to the maximum of 50p would see you walk away with a cool £135.000! If that’s not a jackpot, well, we don’t know what is!

Betting Lines

In the classic slots that Twin Spin is based on, landing three symbols in a row across the centre payline saw you win. Twin Spin differs in not having a set of specific paylines. Rather there are a whopping 243 ways to win. Take note, though, that all of these combinations must start from the left-most reel, and you need to land a minimum of three identical symbols on adjacent reels to grab a win. Only the longest combination is paid out and having extra symbols on the last reel in the run multiplies your payout.

RTP

The RTP or return to player rate gives you an idea of how much cash you might expect to get back in wins when spinning the Twin Spin reels. In this case, the RTP is a pretty decent 96.6%. What this means is that if you were to play with £100, you could theoretically expect to walk away with £96.6 at the end or your period of play. But there’s the rub. The key word is theoretical – the RTP is an average calculated after playing thousands of spins, so your actual return may be quite different.

Volatility

Twin Spins is considered to be a medium to high volatility game. Volatility, or variance, is the term used to describe the chance of winning. A low volatility slot will see you win lots of small payouts frequently, with the occasional big win. A high volatility slot in contrast, will see you play through long dry spells before hitting the serious money. Twin Spins falls somewhere in the middle, you’ll get a few small wins now and again, some long dry spells and then, if you’re lucky, you’ll hit the big time!

Verdict

If you want a break from some of the all-singing, all-dancing flashy video slots around, then you could do no worse that give Twin Spin a whirl. This slot offers an excellent playing experience thanks to those crisp graphics, cool 80s background tracks and of course those Twin Spin tied reels. You’ll need to make sure you pace your bets to stretch your bankroll over the dry spells, but if you enjoy the sheer adrenaline rush of chasing after a big win, then Twin Spin could be the slot for you. Give it a whirl today.
