Sisters of Luck - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

You are not getting double vision - there are indeed twins on the reels! Double trouble is heading your way with Sisters of Luck, a Chinese-inspired slot from Nucleus Gaming that is played on a 5x3 matrix with 243 ways to win. 

At the start of your spin, at least two adjacent reels will be identical. This duplication can spread, making a third, fourth or fifth contiguous reel identical with symbols.

Overlaid on the background below the reels are player buttons. You will find information, balance and coin and bet level adjustment to the left. Bet, spin button and win amount are central. Max bet, auto and the double up button are to the right. It is simple enough to navigate and get to grips with. 

There are six themed symbols: the two sisters, a lucky golden cat, gold koi fish, a bag of coins, a lotus flower and a Chinese lantern. There are also the Chinese-styled card symbols from ten to ace.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Sisters of Luck is an oriental-themed slot that focuses on the importance of good fortune in Chinese culture. Such Asian-inspired slots are popular in the e-gaming arena, particularly for their rich colours, culture and history. We think Sisters of Luck sets itself apart from the crowd in this saturated market with its 3D graphics and cute characters, although perhaps less so for its gameplay features.

The background is red with swirl patterns and stars to give it depth. A sister stands on either side of the reels. The girls look sweet with their coy smiles and large eyes and are rendered with a degree of realism that makes them seem like characters you would see in a modern animated children’s movie. The reels are outlined in gold and the symbols are set against a black backdrop to make them stand out. The symbols are vivid, detailed and glossy.

A light, cheerful soundtrack accompanies the gameplay. Overall, Sisters of Luck is an uplifting and joyful slot with gorgeous 3D graphics to keep it entertaining.

Sisters of Luck RTP and variance

The RTP unfortunately isn’t known; however, we believe it is likely to be a medium volatility slot. Players might find variation here, but it is a midway point that could lead to average wins at a semi-regular frequency. Given the minimum bet and volatility, budget players may find this a little disappointing.

How to play Sisters of Luck 

1. Ensure you are familiar with the rules and paytable, which can be viewed via the question mark button.
2. Choose your coin value between 0.02 and 1.00.
3. Choose the bet level between 1 and 5.
4. The bet is automatically calculated and displayed above.
5. Hit the spin button and play responsibly.

Autospin and max bet are also available if you want to speed things up.

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

The minimum stake is 0.50, which is a 0.02 coin size at bet level 1. Unfortunately, this seems a little higher than many video slots for those who prefer casual budget gaming. The maximum stake is 125.00, using a 1.00 coin value at bet level 5, which is adequate for the more daring of players.

• All symbols pay for combinations of three or more.
• At the minimum stake, the twins are worth 20 for five on a payline and the lucky cat is worth up to 10.
• The lowest value symbols at the minimum bet are the ten, jack and queen, which are worth between 0.06 and 0.50.
• At the maximum stake, the twin girls are worth 5,000 for five of a kind and the cat is worth 2,500. 

Sisters of Luck bonus features

Double-up risk game

After any win, you have the option of pressing the ‘double up’ button to risk your win in the hope of doubling it. Gamble half or all the winnings and continue gambling as many times as you wish for as long as you correctly guess whether a coin will land on heads or tails. Guess correctly and your win will be doubled.

Sisters of Luck review: our verdict

This is an eye-catching slot with its vibrant red background and gorgeous 3D graphics, with the soundtrack encouraging greater engagement with the game as you spin the reels. It is well laid out for straightforward gameplay, but we do think the minimum stake is a tad high. With the medium volatility, this may be off-putting for the super-casual players and those on a budget. It is a shame the RTP isn’t known; however, the top stake and bigger wins available are still likely to appeal to regular players and higher rollers, with a generous 810,000 top prize.

The other issue is with the features, or lack thereof. We like the reel duplication prior to a spin to boost the chance of winning, and we appreciate the double-up game to up the stakes and create some tension; however, there are no scatters and no separate features, including free spins, so fans of bonus games and more action may be disappointed. 

For more double trouble, check out the anime-inspired Fa Fa Twins slot from Betsoft, complete with a double-up risk game and a top prize of 810,000.
