Double Stacks

Classic fruit machines and AWP-style slots have been a common feature of pubs, nightclubs and arcades for decades, entertaining the punters as well as paying for a few bonus pints every now and again. With the decline of old-school pubs, these games are becoming less common in their natural habitat – but that doesn’t mean you have to relinquish the chance to play fruit machines of this kind altogether.

Forward-thinking slots developers like NetEnt are continuing to up the bar, developing great slots games that are based on these classic fruit machines such as Starburst and Dead or Alive. Double Stacks is also one such game, which overhauls the tired format and gives a new shine to the classic elements of pub style fruit machines.

There are five reels in Double Stacks Slot, which is more than you’d expect on most AWP fruit machines, which tend to be 3 or in some cases 4 reel slots. Across the board, there are 10 paylines, so there are multiple different ways to win on every spin – contrast with 1 or 3 in some limited cases for pub machines, and you’ll see that this is actually, comparatively, a much better offer for players.

The symbols are all standard for fruit machines, with the likes of cherries, bar symbols, bells, watermelons and diamonds amongst the most common. Line up combinations of three or more of these symbols, and you’ll get a payout depending on the value of your symbol and the extent of your combination. More details on the payouts can be found in the game’s paytable, accessible at any time from the game’s main menu.

The ‘double stacks’ element refers to double symbols – an innovative feature of this slot, and part of an intriguing package of bonuses tied to this game. Players can place their bets from £0.10 to £200.00 per spin, with a maximum win at a juicy 1000x. As such, this is a slot with some high jackpot winning potential, so you’ll be hoping your combinations come up when you’re spinning through this game.

The RTP here is commendably high, clocking in at 96.10% – not at all bad for a slot with such a generous jackpot.

Feature Symbols

The glossy wild star symbol is the wild, and the most common feature symbol you’ll encounter in Double Stacks Slot. This symbol works like any other wild – if you’re unfamiliar with wild symbols, they make a match with any symbol that you pay you a winning combination. So any line of symbols that can be drawn through a wild will be paid as if it had been a true combination – a boost to your chances of winning every time a wild symbol falls in view.

The only other feature symbol is the nicely designed Scatter symbol, which is responsible for the game’s main bonus round – a free spins feature.

Bonuses & Jackpots

Three or more of the scatter symbols is all you need to kickstart the bonus round. For three, four or five of these symbols, you’ll receive 5, 15 or 30 free spins, commencing immediately after your triggering spin. During the free spins, all symbols are available stacked, including the wilds, which can add up to some serious feature wins. And if you happen to land two or more scatters during any of your free spins, you’ll add from another 2-30 free spins to your total.

This is by far the game’s highest paying feature, and where most of the decent wins are to be found. That aside, the jackpot is paid for 10 diamonds – 5 stacked diamond symbols on a payline.
