Twin Spin Megaways Slot Released on Nov 12th – Time To Get Excited

18+

Nowadays, we’re more likely to be excited about a new Red Tiger Gaming release than we are about a new NetEnt slot. And yes, it is time to get excited, because this is the first official NetEnt Megaways slots game.

We’re lying you say? What about Piggy Riches Megaways or the Gonzo’s Quest Megaways review?

Not technically a NetEnt game. What happened is that NetEnt bought Red Tiger Gaming studios, and they had a license to use the Big Time Gaming Megaways mechanics.

So they got their subsidiary studio to create the Megaways versions of their games using NetEnt’s popular themes. But it wasn’t technically NetEnt creating the games – instead, they were using Red Tiger’s resources to push their own images.

Why this Twin Spin Megaways slot looks exciting

Look, even if you don’t care who made what, and what mechanic belongs to whom, you might care that one of the best NetEnt slots of all time is getting the Megaways game treatment.

Why, you ask? Well, NetEnt only needs around 30 seconds to answer that:

That’s it. That’s all we have on this casino game. 28 seconds of raw footage as they show you just a couple of spins from this upcoming new casino slot online.

But this 28 seconds tells us everything we need to know about this Twin Spin Megaways slot, namely that:

• You get 6 reels with avalanching wins – so all winning symbols disappear and more come tumbling down.
• You get that classic fruit machine slot theme with that cool retro vibe we love
• On any one spin, two or more reels may sync and show the exact same symbols on the reels
• On any one spin, you may get up to 117,649 ways to depending on the rows of symbols on display

That’s basically all you can infer from the video above, and to be honest, that’s all we needed. That said, you wouldn’t be here if we couldn’t give you something a little extra, so we’ve also figured out from our sources that:

• You get a free spins round and wild multipliers

Closer to the date, when they’ve released more information on RTP and wins, we’ll make a final judgement, but for now, we expect the same high level of wins that both Megaways slots and the original Twin Spin slot, have been able to provide in the past.

And not just because you get multiplier

Why are we excited for this new NetEnt Megaways slot?

Honestly, it’s the mix of two of our favourite mechanics that did it.

Twin Spin became popular because at heart it had a simple concept – you spin the reels and randomly anyone from 2 to 5 reels will sync together and spin with identical symbols on each reel.

Add a great paytable which allowed you to win up to 1,000x your bet, and you can see why this was the most popular mobile slot of 2014. Over time the lustre has fallen a little, as machines such as the Laser Fruit slot or the Pimped slot promised wins of over 10,000x your bet.

Still, it was simple, it was effective, and it got the heart pumping.

And now NetEntertainment are promising us that they will be adding the most popular game mechanics of today to one of their most popular slots. What could go wrong?

We’ve been burnt before with Twin Spin games…

We have three words for you: the Twin Spin Deluxe slot. Ever hear of it? No? Yeah, neither have a whole load of people.

This isn’t the first time that NetEnt has tried to cash in on the popularity of some of their best games by adding a new feature or mechanic.

Remember a few years ago when every single game had to have cluster pays? Aloha Cluster Pays slot, The Legend of Shangri La game, Viking Runecraft slot review… the list goes on.

Twin Spin Deluxe was basically that: the Twin Spin game, but on a 6×3 reels where a cluster of 5 or more symbols would create a win. And it just didn’t quite work – it wasn’t as exciting, or as hard-hitting as the original.

Why we have hope for Twin Spin Megaways game

Well, for one the fear that the Megaways version won’t have as big a wins as the original is probably false. We’ve yet to play a Megaways game where you couldn’t win at minimum 5,000 to 10,000x your bet. Often more.

Of course, from the look on the video, it doesn’t look like there will be any free spins bonus, but we have it from a reliable source that this Twin Spin Megaways slot will have a bonus game.

This could go for or against it: after all, Twin Spin is great because it’s simple and has one big feature that gives you lots of wins. If you add too many ingredients will it spoil the broth?

But Megaways slots usually have free spins so that when you hit them, you get multipliers. It means you get lots of action in the base game, but all the really big wins are in the free spin bonus.

We can’t see why this can’t also work here.

Free Spin Bonus round with wild multipliers

We like it when software providers try to do something a little different. And instead of giving us a free spin round where the multiplier increases on every win, instead here they give us the multipliers via the wild symbol.

The wild symbol can appear on reels 2 to 6 at any point, but only during the Twin Spin Megaways free spins will it have a multiplier ranging from 2x to 3x.

Better yet the wild symbol will multiply each other, so if you get 5 reels all syncying together with a 3x wild, that a 243x multiplier right there.

Add that during the free spins all the reels are set at 7 symbols high, so you’re always playing with 117,649 ways to win, and you can expect lots of avalanches.

Sometimes simplicity is best

At the end of the day, what NetEnt are looking at doing is merging two big win slot mechanics into one game. As long as the paytable is reasonable and you get enough cascades to make it worth your while, what you have here is a great combination.

The avalanching spins mean that even if 2 or 3 of a kind wins are not worth much, you can get multiple small wins in a row. The Twin Spin mechanics means that you don’t need as many multipliers, because you can genuinely see three, four, or five reels or showing the exact same symbols, and therefore multiple wins in a row.

As for the ways to win, this Twin Spin Megaways slot has just upgraded from 243 ways to win, to 117,649 ways to win – you still just get wins by catching symbols left to right on the reels.

Add what looks like a crazy free spin round with  possibly huge wild multipliers, and (in short) you’d have to really try hard to mess this up.

So don’t mess it up NetEnt.
