Double Wammy

The phrase Double Whammy is used when you receive two lots of something good, bad or indifferent. The double wammy feature on this slot is the wild graphic which is capable of doubling or even quadrupling wins when it gets in on the action. Two is often better than one, so the premise of this slots title is promising, as is the 2,500 coin jackpot.

Double Wammy Slot Theme

Two monstrous diamonds form the basis of the Double Wammy logo and wild icon. This large logo dominates the space beneath the reels to provide the slot with a touch of color. It also flashes each time a win is paid which adds yet more excitement, however small the prize.

The large paytable also marks each win by lighting up the precise figure associated with the win. The designers have ensured that the number of coins in play corresponds with the lit up column on the paytable which is a helpful visual aid when setting up bets.

Vegas slots usually only include a handful of reel icons which is why we were pleased to see six different (albeit traditional) designs have been used on Double Whammy. These include cherries, blue bar, pink bar (x2), yellow bar (x3), 7 and the Double Wammy logo.

Betting Options and More Functions

Choosing your total bet is simply a case of selecting a coin value (ranges between 0.25 and £/$/€5) and either one, two or three coins. Bets between 0.25 and $15 are possible, with the largest prizes available when using three coins.

Microgaming is one of a few brands to offer two control areas. By default players will see the ‘regular’ button layout and can choose ‘expert’ if they wish to use automatic plays. This is a useful function which can be used by players confident with the amount they are betting.

The Double Wammy emblem is also the slots wild symbol. It can substitute for any icon and in doing so doubles any win. If two emblems are used the resulting win is multiplied by four, and when three appear on the payline the jackpot is awarded.

Our Take on Double Wammy

Setting aside the intentional (probably) spelling mistake in the title, Double Wammy is a decent classic slot. It offers three coin levels with increasing prizes and a multiplying wild which is seldom seen on classic slots such as this. The jackpot is also larger than many three reels as it is capable of awarding $7,500 when using the maximum $15 stake.
