Twin Spin

One of the most popular NetEnt creations that we can remember, Twin Spin is an unashamedly old school video slot that’s been given a modern, digital makeover.

With up to 5 reels and 3 rows in play, use your classic spin symbols across any of the 243 separate paylines to land a win. Lucky 7s, BARs, diamonds and fruit symbols feature prominently to reinforce the vintage feel, taking us all back to a simpler time when analogue machines lacked all the shiny bells and whistles of their digital successors.

There’s just one bonus feature on offer here, a rarity in an age characterised by endless bonus rounds. Despite this, the game continues to strike a chord with slot players seeking a more casual gaming experience, and we’ll find out why below.

Design

There’s nothing revolutionary about the design, however NetEnt succeeded in revitalising a classic fruit machine slot which is rich in graphics, jazzed up by a funky beat.

To the base of the grid you’ll find your game control panel that also displays your current bet amount and coin level. Start spinning to transport yourself back in time with this modern-day classic.

Gameplay

As you might expect, Twin Spin plays similarly to most mechanical slots that adorn the halls of gambling halls across the world. Match at least 3 symbols on adjoining reels to bag yourself a win, starting from the leftmost reel. The more symbols you match - the bigger your win.

Slot purists will be happy to know the game has its own Wild symbol, which substitutes for all other symbols whenever it lands on the 3 middle reels - helping you form a winning combo.

The game’s popularity however, owes a lot to its pièce de résistance: the titular ‘Twin Spin’ feature.

This feature synchronises 2 adjacent reels before every single spin, and can expand to cover 3, 4, or even all 5 reels - guaranteeing non-stop action. Link up each reel in the grid for the chance to win up to 270,000 coins, boosting your earnings considerably

There’s nothing much more to add about this basic, yet highly enjoyable offering from the folks at NetEnt.

Medium Volatility

Prolonged, winless streaks are not uncommon in Twin Spin, however larger payouts are certainly possible when you land high paying symbols on at least 2 reels, which puts this game in the medium volatility bracket.

They say good things come to those who wait, and a solid dose of patience definitely favors slot players eyeing up this 2013 release. We advise you to stick to games like Starburst if you’re more content with a higher guarantee of smaller, more regular returns.

Twin Spin on Mobile

The relatively simple design of the game lends itself perfectly to mobile gaming, and you can expect to find the same impressive visuals on all handheld devices as the desktop version.

Offered on all modern iOS and Android devices, the developer’s dedicated mobile platform, NetEnt Touch, provides an uncompromised experience for players on the go, with the game controls smartly integrated for seamless play in the palm of your hand.

The Verdict

Twin Spin proved an instant hit when it was released in 2013, adding a modern twist to old-school gaming.

The game has one key feature up its sleeve - the Twin Spin, which clearly sets this apart from all other similar titles in its category. And what’s more, the feature comes into play with every single spin, driving up the tension levels to keep you coming back for more. Without this though, we’d struggle to see the game’s overriding appeal, which is at heart an old school fruit machine, played in the digital realm.

Classic fruit machines still have their place in the modern-day slots world, and after all they are largely responsible for the proliferation of games we’ve witnessed over the past decade. Add in the game’s centrepiece that can supersize your win up to a possible 1080x, we think Twin Spin will be around for years to come.
