About the Double Stacks game
Double Stacks - A Review
Read on to learn more about NetEnt's Double Stacks slot machine game.
Theme and Storyline
Double Stacks is a classic fruit machine game, complete with symbols like Diamonds, Bars, Sevens, Bells and more. While many games with this theme stick to a simple one winline setup, Double Stacks adds twists and bonuses for more excitement. However, it doesn't do much to stand out from other similar games.
Graphics, Sounds and Animations
The symbols in Double Stacks are well-designed, but not particularly unique. However, the stylish and jazzy background and 3D animations add some flair to the game.
Gameplay
Double Stacks features ten winlines on a five-by-three grid. The key gameplay twist is the Double Stack, where the four highest paying symbols appear stacked in the main game. This allows for big wins when landing multiple stacks of the same symbol, with the diamond symbol offering the highest payout for filling the screen. Filling a reel with one symbol triggers the Double Stack, which counts as two symbols for calculating winnings. The maximum payouts for these wins are shown at the top of the screen.
Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins
The Wild symbol (a star with 'Wild' written on it) can replace any symbol except for the Scatter. Landing three or more Scatters triggers the Free Spin bonus, with three Scatters awarding five spins, four awarding fifteen, and five awarding thirty. Spins can also be retriggered by landing two or more additional Scatters. During Free Spins, Wilds may also appear stacked.
Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance
Double Stacks has an RTP of 96.10%, which is standard for the industry. Bets per spin can range from £/$/€0.10 up to £/$/€200.00, accommodating most bankrolls. The game's volatility is rated as medium, which may not appeal to players who prefer high volatility games.
Conclusion
Overall, Double Stacks is a classic fruit machine game with some added twists. While the Double Stack feature is a unique aspect, the standard RTP and medium volatility may not make it stand out enough to recommend for all players.
