Twin Spin XXXtreme

Twin Spin XXXtreme: Slot Overview

You might’ve heard someone say ‘Golly gee, time flies’ to describe a period of time which seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. For an example of this phenomenon, we present Twin Spin XXXtreme from NetEnt. The reason why is that the classic original Twin Spin was released 10 years before this one came out, and a Megaways version, Twin Spin Megaways, dropped around 2.5 years ago. Right? Time flies, huh? For this Twin Spin release, its maker has added on the XXXtreme betting mechanic, which has been used before in games like Taco Fury XXXtreme, Milkshake XXXtreme, and another iconic slot redo Starburst XXXtreme. In Twin Spin XXXtreme, it guarantees a certain number of Twin Reels; here’s how it all functions.

As a follow-on from a classic fruit slot that was 10 years old, Twin Spin XXXtreme was always going to struggle to look avant-garde. But it looks good for what it is, and a jazzy background and masses of classic slot symbols should help fans of the first game relax and get comfy. The main differences are the extra sixth reel and the XXXtreme spins button located in the corner of the screen. Other than those two things, Twin Spin XXXtreme looks like it’s here to get its early 2010s nostalgic groove on.

Base bets in Twin Spin XXXtreme start at 25 p/c and can be raised as high as $/€50. As expected of the XXXXtreme mechanic, this is a highly volatile online slot, available in three return-to-player options. The highest RTP is 96%, and this number stays the same whether played with the XXXtreme Spins feature switched on or off. With a larger 6-reel gaming grid, Twin Spin XXXtreme provides 729 ways to win, occurring when matching symbols land on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost side of the grid.

For symbols, we get 9 through A playing card ranks as the low pays, and cherries, bells, bars, 7s, and diamonds as the high pays. Wilds appear from time to time, as well, to substitute for any regular paying symbol.

Twin Spin XXXtreme: Slot Features

It’s a mix of old and new here, as the features include Twin Reels, Random Win Multipliers, and XXXtreme Spins.

Twin Reels

When the reels spin, 2 to 6 of them may become Twin Reels. Twin Reels synchronise, meaning they display the same 3 symbols on each reel. Twin Reels may also spread when spinning, possibly covering the whole game grid.

Win Multipliers

When at least 3 reels synchronise, players can receive a random Win Multiplier. The value depends on the number of Twin Reels:

• 3 Twin Reels may trigger a Win Multiplier of x2-x5.
• 4 Twin Reels may trigger a Win Multiplier of x3-x10.
• 5 Twin Reels may trigger a Win Multiplier of x4-x10, x15, or x20.
• 6 Twin Reels may trigger a Win Multiplier of x5-x10, x15, x20, or x40.

XXXtreme Spins

The XXXtreme Spins feature is an optional way of playing the game where players may activate these modes:

• Option 1 – guarantees at least 3 Twin Reels for the cost of 10x the bet.
• Option 2 – guarantees at least 4 Twin Reels for the cost of 95x the bet.

Twin Spin XXXtreme: Slot Verdict

NetEnt recently, they’ve felt like someone who’s gone through the dating scene – got ripped, wore fancy clothes, and acted as if they were the life of the party in an attempt to lure potential partners into its orbit. Then, after shacking up with someone, has settled down and is now content spooning ice cream out of a tub on the sofa, watching daytime tv in a faded hoodie and tracksuit pants. Not knocking that journey or the destination, but the studio feels as if it has plateaued into a cosy comfort zone, happy knocking out classic slot redoes, making charming if not astounding slots, and basking in former glory like Al Bundy and the four touchdowns he scored in a single game of high school football.

Not that this means the slots NetEnt has been making recently are no good, far from it. The game prior to this, The Wish Master Megaways, was a fun blast of updated nostalgia, and so is Twin Spin XXXtreme. It’s got the looks and functions of the original game, with a couple of souped-up extras. The Twin Spin synced reels effect, which was the first game’s key draw, has, of course, been retained, but now it’s been juiced with a Win Multiplier which can get better the more reels that are Twinned. This addition on its own might have been enough to justify Twin Spin XXXtreme’s existence, and players uninterested in the XXXtreme betting options don’t necessarily miss out by not using them. However, the inclusion of XXXtreme Spins not only makes the game’s title more eye-catching, but it also provides gamblers who want to go large and potentially cut to the chase a chance to do so.

The extra reel and Win Multipliers have also swelled Twin Spin XXXtreme’s max win number compared to the first game, now tipping the scales at 9,600 times the bet. Twin Spin Megaways may have had greater potential, but Twin Spin XXXtreme doesn’t feel like it would rely as much on complex mathematical wizardry in order to keep masses of ways to win on synched reels in check – anecdotally speaking. Instead, Twin Spin XXXtreme sticks closely to the spirit of the original while adding bigger stats, features, and betting options into the mix.
