Review
The Luck Twins return for a Jackpot edition on the slot from Pulse 8 Gaming, powered by Microgaming’s Quickfire platform. Initially released in 2015, the sequel comes in a different format and a vastly increased win potential thanks to three fixed jackpots that can be won in the bonus game. Pick your cat of fortune and you could walk away with a massive reward of 10,000 times your bet.
Slot Details
Lucky Twins Jackpot is a video slot with three reels, three rows and five fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for two to three matching symbol combinations on a line from left to right only. The top symbol will pay a consolation price for just one symbol on reel one. Your encounter with the lucky twins on desktop or mobile starts at 0.05 credits and peaks at 15 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with a mediocre RTP of 93.92%.
A rather generic Asian-inspired canvas with lucky coins and ingots is in the background of the game window that is framed in a typical wooden temple entrance you can find all over in China. The three jackpots tower on top of the reels while lucky icons dominate the gameplay. An Asian soundtrack add authenticity to the design.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from J through to A, awarding 3x to 7x your bet for a single three of a kind. They are followed by satchels with lucky coins, Chinese crackers, lucky coin amulets, the Maneki Neko fortune cat and the slot logo. Hit three on a line to win 15x to 40x your stake.
The Lucky Twins are the wild symbol, appearing on reels two and three only and substituting for all regular symbols. A golden ingot acts as the scatter on this slot.
Lucky Twins Jackpot Slot Features
The original Lucky Twins slot was developed by Microgaming and released in 2015 as a plain 9-liner with no features other than scattered pays when the golden ingot would land in sufficient numbers. Pulse 8 Gaming took on the challenge to deliver a sequel that would have a more warm welcome in the casino community. While the gameplay is still rather plain and bland, the win potential of 10,000x in the bonus game does add another dimension.
Hitting three golden ingot scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin will trigger the Lucky Twins Jackpot bonus game. The reels set is changed for a 9-symbol grid with fortune cats and your aim is to reveal three matching jackpot icons. Pick fortune cats until you have three matching icons to win the Minor Jackpot at 50x, the Major Jackpot at 300x or the Grand Jackpot at 10,000x your total bet. Only one jackpot can be won in one bonus game.
Final Verdict
So how does the sequel compare to the original? Well, apart from that coveted top prize, it is still a bland game with not much going for it. There is no opportunity to score mega wins in the base game, hence, you are reduced to waiting for a feature trigger. And that can take 100s of spins at times while seeing your balance slowly vanish. Winning the 10,000x jackpot will be an extremely rare event, probably somewhere around 1:100 million spins. But it might entice players to chase the covted prize as it will amount to a huge win even on small bets.
