Twice the Money Slot Machine
Get your mitts on some golden wins with Twice the Money by Ainsworth software. This 5-reel, 30-payline slot machine throws up some explosive action with its glistening gold mine theme and special dynamite bonus game of free spins, offering extra wins that could be up to 8x the value of the same wins in the normal game.
All in all, this simple little video slot is a golden choice for punters of all tastes and budgets.
Golden Spins
Good old gold. The precious metal is one of the most sought after elements in the world, being used to create all sorts of valuable items from coins to jewellery and even decorative ornaments.
Gold has also been used for centuries across the world as the basis of monetary currency, and it wasn't until the 1970s that the global exchange rates completely abandoned the gold standard for a fiat currency system. Now there's some pointless information for your next pub quiz!
This slot machine is mad about gold, presenting players with a series of symbols in honour of the shiny metal. There is a gold-tinged mine shaft, a cart full of the good stuff, a set of scales weighing out raw gold and a big fat golden nugget glistening in the light. Helping players to have a blast while they spin is a dynamite icon that acts as a wild to substitute for other icons and fill in line wins.
All in all, the game is fairly well designed, placing players into a old school mining shaft, using detailed two dimensional illustrations to represent the icons on the game screen.
Huge Winning Potential
This slot machine has been optimised to be played on mobile phones, meaning that punters will be able to tap and swipe their way through the action. This begins with using the pop-up menu to set your desired wagers on the reels.
The options available allow spinners to play with 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 paylines over the 5 reels while the bet per line options range from 0.01 to 100.00 credits per active line. That makes for some absolutely whopping maximum bets of 3,000 credits per spin, perfect for those high-rolling punters who are prepared to pay for the chance to win some huge prizes.
The prizes certainly are golden in this game. With a total bet multiplier prize of 100x available in the base game of this slot machine, bettors with a maximum stake could hope to receive a jackpot of 300,000 credits if they can find up 5 golden nugget scatters in any position.
There are plenty of other ways to boost your balance, with many icons that pay line bet multipliers when they form patterns on active paylines from left to right, as you can see in the paytable below:
Boost Your Wins with a Bonus
As well as offering the biggest wins in the game, the golden nugget scatter symbol will trigger 10 free games whenever three or more appear on the reels, regardless of payline position. During this round of free spins, players will be able to boost their wins with some special multiplier dynamite wilds that appear on the third reel only.
During the first four spins, the multiplier dynamite is worth 2x and free spins 5 – 8 feature a 4x multiplier. The last two free spins are the most potentially rewarding, with a multiplier worth 8x on the third reel.
Players can boost their wins even further with a special “Twice the Money” feature. This essentially works as free spins within free spins, with three or more gold scatter icons triggering an extra 5 free games. The multiplier wilds are still present in this game.
Free spins with multiplier wilds up to 8x? It all sounds very appealing. However, players will be disappointed to learn that the free spins in this game are played with a different paytable, one which offers significantly smaller prizes than normal. In fact, the top line bet multiplier jackpot in the feature paytable is a measly 60x.
Fool's Gold?
There are quite a few gold mine themed slot machines out there on the market, and Twice the Money will give any of those games a run for their money with its decent design and high wagering options.
The video slot by Ainsworth software also gives players the chance to enjoy some bonus free spins with multiplier wilds, but this is somewhat tainted by the fact that the bonus feature is played with a less lucrative paytable.
