The far east has provided the inspiration for some of the most striking, enjoyable and atmospheric slots, such as the relatively recent release Serenity. Just a month before that slot hit casinos, Microgaming released another eastern-inspired slot called Lucky Twins.
The inspiration behind the slot seems to be the saying that 'good things come in twos' and with Microgaming's blurb for the slot promising "Twins, wins and spins; twice the celebration!" it is surely worth a closer look and enjoy double the usual wins!
The Lucky Twins slot was released in December 2015 and offers the usual 5x3 reel matrix to play on with a choice of 9 paylines in operation. This is definitely a slot for the smaller stakes to medium stake player with a minimum bet of 0.10 and a maximum bet of 10.00 meaning that there isn't really the scope for higher roller players to wager considerably more per spin.
The number of paylines for every spin is fixed, which means that you have to play with all paylines in operation, but as any slots player worth their salt will tell you, playing the maximum number of lines is a good thing in these types of game.
That is the basics of the slot in a nutshell, so now lets move on to how the game looks. While the name Lucky Twins may give you an idea of the game being about siblings born at the same time, in actual fact, this is more a slot based about luck. Twins are considered lucky in some eastern philosophies and the two twins eponymous with the slot are featured on the reels alongside a host of other eastern-themed symbols relating to good fortune.
They include firecrackers, a Maneki Neko cat, a vase with coins spewing from it and a paper lantern. There's also the usual low-symbols of the playing card lows in the game which is a tad disappointing.
The gameplay itself is relatively straightforward and the game plays at a decent pace. It is most definitely a medium variance slot however as there can be long periods without a win, however when you do win, you tend to win a decent amount of money usually around 5 times your stake if not more, so that means when you do land a win, it is a satisfying feeling.
The musical background is typical of the eastern-themed games Microgaming have churned out and if you are familiar with the likes of Serenity, Lucky Koi, Lucky Firecracker, Asian Beauty, Gung Pow and China Dynasty, then you'll be well aware of just what to expect from the sounds on the slot.
When it comes to features, the Lucky Twins slot keeps things somewhat simple. There's no additional bonus games, or expanding features, or increased rows. Instead, you get the staple Microgaming fayre of a Wild symbol and a free spins bonus round.
The in game Wild symbol is the Lucky Twins that are the inspiration for the games title. They do appear frequently across the reels and when you land several of them across the reels on a single spin, your chances of landing a better value win are increased markedly. Land five on a single payline and you can take home the biggest possible base game win.
The free spins section of the game is triggered when the player lands three or more of the in game scatter symbols across the reels. When you do, you will receive up to 10 free spins each time the feature is triggered. With each free spin, a random cash multiplier is generated so that if you win, your winnings will be multiplied by the generated multiplier, giving you an even bigger win and the chance to win the games biggest cash prizes.
It is perhaps disappointing that other than Wild symbols and free spins, there are no other features in the Lucky Twins slots and compared to other games that have a lot of additional features, this is a game which probably would sit a relatively new player at slots, who wants to find out more about the basics of the game, than a more experienced player who is perhaps used to slots with considerably more features available.
One positive however with this simplicity is that this allows Lucky Twins to be played on the widest possible range of devices, meaning that if you play via mobile or online, you can elect to play in a number of different ways without any discernible difference in quality between the games.
Being honest, Lucky Twins isn't the most innovative slot, it is based on a very popular theme and boasts the rudimentary features that you would expect as the baseline for a modern day slot. The game itself plays well and the graphics are bright and cheerful, but it is most definitely a slot for players who enjoy the simpler form of slot gaming.
