Double 88 Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction

Three rows of five reels and 25 paylines sound like a pretty ordinary slot, but Double 88 comes with double symbols that make it a lot more interesting. With the exception of the 9 and 10, each of the regular card symbols can also come as a double symbol, meaning it will pay twice the amount. You could have the equivalent of a ten-match winning line instead of just five matches.

There are only two symbols in this slot that aren’t card symbols (there are six of these, ranging from 9 to A). The Scatter is a clock, whilst the game logo serves as a Wild. The Scatter only appears on the first, third and fifth reels. The Wild only appears on the second, third and fourth reels, and in free spins will always be a double symbol in a winning line.

Graphics & Theme

When you see a title such as Double 88 you probably expect an Asian-themed slot, just like the 88 Fortunes slot. After all, eight is a lucky number in China. This slot does have some Asian imagery, most notably in its red flowery background and some of the little decorations attached to the card symbols, but there aren’t any themed symbols other than those decorations, the game logo and an ornate clock. It’s an uncomplicated slot where the theme is more a suggestion than an overwhelming presence.

RTP & Variance

This is still quite a new slot, and there’s no official information on RTP and variance. That’s annoying when you want to set expectations for possible wins, so it’s extra important you familiarise yourself with the free demo before trying the real money version.

How to Play Double 88

1. Once you’ve loaded this slot it should be pretty easy to figure out how it works. Take a look at the row of buttons and displays under the reels. They’re all clearly labelled, so you can easily work through them, adjusting settings as you go.

2. First, there’s the “Menu” button to open the sound control, Turbo Play, Normal Screen and language options.

3. When you’ve tweaked them (or not) to your preference, you click the “Paytable” button next. This will tell you which symbols to look out for, and you can scroll through the pages to free games instructions.

4. Above these two buttons is the display for your current balance, so keep an eye on that. At the centre of the row is the space where wins will be displayed, which you’ll obviously need once you’ve actually started spinning.

5. Next are the bet controls, which may be a little confusing. There’s an adjustor with plus and minus symbols, but also a larger “Bet” button that opens options for Coin Value and Bet Level, as well as displaying the fixed number of paylines.

6. There’s only one more button, and it’s the most important one. If you’ve adjusted your settings and set your budget, you’re ready to click “Spin”. It’s big and green, so you can’t miss it. Hold the Spin button down for longer for autoplay options.

Bet & Win Sizes

Setting your bet in this slot can seem a little complicated because you have three different adjustors. You can just use the one displayed on the main screen, but its value changes depending on coin value and bet level. If you click the actual bet button, the coin value adjustor allows you to pick between 0.01 and 0.10, whilst bet level goes from one to 40. This makes the maximum wager 100.00.

Values on the paytable can be deceptive because some symbols pay as doubles. This means you can match up to 10 times rather than the usual five, increasing your maximum prizes.

Five 9s or 10s = 10.

Five Js or Qs = 20.

Five double Js or Qs = 100.

Five Ks = 30.

Five double Ks = 150.

Five As = 35.

Five double As = 300.

Bonus Features & Free Spins

The most distinctive feature of this slot is the double symbols. These are like normal card symbols, but the image appears twice in a single position, and it pays twice two. It’s like having ten reels instead of five. There’s also a free games feature triggered by the clock-shaped Scatter. Hit three of these and you’ll be awarded 12 free spins. During the bonus round, all Wilds in winning lines will pay as double symbols.

Conclusion

This is a bit of a strange one. On the one hand, it looks as bland and generic as an Asian-themed slot can be. There’s hardly any variation in the symbols, there’s a very basic free spins round and not much else. Except then we come to the double symbols, a very interesting extra that is distinct to this slot. It certainly makes this slot worth playing, whether it makes up for the lack of other features is for you to decide.
