Double Stacks has taken the classic fruit machine and bought it to our screens in a cinematic extravaganza. The combination of shiny things and fruit is one that has been known and loved throughout slot history. Double Stacks slot has five reels and 10 paylines.
Fruit machine themed slots are often favoured, and they stay popular due to the timeless features and imagery.
The backing track has a jazzy-trancey feel with other celebratory sounds weaved in when you land a winning line. The colourful and clean, modern design of the game makes it very nice on the eyes.
Double Stacks slots is easy to play, with no confusing bonus rounds. Simplicity and ease is what we have here, and with the theme of the game, it is all it needs.
What are the special bonus features?
There are two bonus features which could have a significant effect on the amount you could be winning when you land those payline matches.
Double Stacks
If your reels land and all symbols across all three rows on a reel are the same, the symbols will double. Instead of seeing just one symbol in each of the positions, you will see them in pairs.
This doesn’t automatically grant you a win, but it means that should any of the double symbols land as part of a winning payline, you will be awarded extra. For example, if you have two singles and a double on your payline, you will be awarded for a four-symbol match, not three.
What’s very exciting is that this feature is not limited to a single reel, so you could land two reels of doubles, and if they are both in a winning payline, you would get a larger payout.
If you have a large stroke of luck, you could even land doubles across all reels which would pay out for a ten-times match. You could win up to 1000 times your bet line for a 10-of-a-kind diamond match!
Free Spins
A classic bonus feature which is always a crowd-pleaser is free spins.
The scatter symbol resembles a disco ball with a silver rim. Landing three or more of the scatter symbols anywhere on your reels will unlock the free spins feature.
Three scatters will get you 5 free spins, four will get you 15 free spins, and five will grant you a huge 30 free spins.
During your free spins, the four highest paying symbols are stacked on reels and Wilds can also appear either on the reels or in stacks. This gives you more potential opportunities to get the ‘mega win’ or the ‘super mega win’. It all comes down to the luck of the positioning on the reels!
Whilst your free spins are in play, if you land two or more of the disco ball scatter symbols, you can win more free spins! Two scatters will award you two free spins, and anything above that pays out the same as above.
How to Play
Before you get access to the bonus features, you will first need to master the standard gameplay.
To win, you will need to match three or more symbols on one of the ten paylines.
The highest value symbol, naturally, is the diamond. A maximum payout for the diamond in standard gameplay is 45 times your bet line, but with a bonus feature to help your winnings, you could win up to 1000 times your line bet!
The big red number seven, the gold bar, and the golden bell all pay out for a minimum match of three, paying up to forty times your line bet, with the potential for more if the bonus features work in your favour.
When you set your coin value along the bar at the bottom of your reels, you may notice that above the reels, each icon has a value next to it. This shows the maximum payout for that symbol at the coin value you are playing. If you adjust the coin value, you will see the maximum payout change.
There is a bright and shiny star which can land on your reels. This is the Wild. It can substitute for all of the standard symbols to create or extend winning paylines, so is very useful for the prize fund, if you have lucky landings.
The fruit symbols, a cherry, a lemon, a grape and watermelon, are the lower value icons in play but can still be substantial to your prize fund. Every win helps! They are all of equal value, paying from between five and sixty times your line bet.
Gameplay Features
When you play the Double Stacks slot, if you’ve seen the traditional fruit machine, you know what you’re in for. Bringing the classic game into the modern world of online slots is what keeps it so popular, and the design helps too!
The pink and purple layout of the reels is bright, fun and with the background colours moving around in the background, you are kept entertained between spins.
