Super Twins

Super Twins Review

Buckle up for a whimsical adventure in Backseat Gaming's Super Twins slot. This Hacksaw Gaming partner studio has conjured a charming concept, featuring twin mice who, thankfully, aren't identical. It would be a bit odd to see two carbon-copy rodents causing a ruckus on either side of the 5x4 grid. Decked out in overalls and sporting distinctive purple and orange caps (the orange one even has a propeller), these brothers add a playful touch to the gameplay.

The base game unfolds within a cozy house, where wins come from landing 3 to 5 matching symbols across up to 14 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. The juiciest symbol is the strawberry, rewarding you with 10x your stake for 5-of-a-kind wins, followed by grapes, cherries, and a peach, paying 8x, 6x, and 4x respectively for the same. Royal symbols offer between 1.5x and 2x your stake for 5-oak wins, while the Wild symbol pays 10x for exactly 5-oak and substitutes for pay symbols to complete or improve wins. Beyond that, Super Twins slot has no base game features.

For those seeking a shortcut to the action, the bonus buy menu (not available in all jurisdictions) offers single-spin options in addition to the main attractions, providing a glimpse of the two bonus rounds. The Floating Bonus Round introduces roaming wilds that shift to random positions on each free spin, along with a win multiplier of up to x100 from the initial Super Wheel spin. Meanwhile, the Staying Stuck Bonus Round boasts sticky wilds and a win multiplier up to x100. Both features can be retriggered with a Super Wheel spin that also adds to the existing win multiplier.

Super Twins is a high volatility game (5 out of 5), meaning the base game will mostly consist of dead spins or smaller wins until you trigger a bonus round. With bets ranging from €0.1 to €100 per spin, this game caters to both cautious players and high rollers. The 12,500x max win potential is solid for this volatility level, but not spectacular. Throughout your gameplay, you'll enjoy the antics of the twin mice flanking the reels, all set to a cartoon-like soundtrack that complements the visual experience.

Super Twins Features

There are no base game features in Super Twins casino slot, but you get 2 different bonus rounds introduced by a Super Wheel spin. Let’s check out how it all works!

Super Wheel

The Super Wheel spins before either of the bonus rounds play out, determining the amount of free spins you get as well as the starting win multiplier. One section of the wheel awards between 5 and 20 free spins, while the other sections award a win multiplier of x2 to x100.

Floating Free Spins

You need 3 mushroom scatters on the same base game spin to trigger the Floating Bonus Round. All Wild symbols that land will persistently move around to random positions per free spin, and you get another Super Wheel spin if you land 3 mushroom scatters on the same free spin. This awards extra free spins and the new multiplier value is added to the previous multiplier.

Staying Stuck Free Spins

Landing 3 star scatters in view on the same base game spin triggers the Staying Stuck Bonus Round. All Wild symbols that appear become sticky on the position they landed, and remain there until the bonus round ends. You win extra free spins and upgrade the win multiplier if you land 3 star scatters on the same free spin, as this triggers another Super Wheel spin.

Pros and Cons of Super Twins

Our Verdict

The charm of Super Twins Backseat Gaming is undeniable. Even the constant squeaky-voiced "alright" upon winning, which I initially feared would become grating, surprisingly didn't. However, the game could have reached greater heights with more base game features and action. The twin mice, mostly stationary, seemed almost as bored as I felt during prolonged base game testing.

It's puzzling why Backseat Gaming hasn't taken more cues from their successful partner, Hacksaw, known for their balanced gaming experiences. A simple base game feature like sticky wild respins would have gone a long way. Most players, especially those who can't or won't use the bonus buy, spend most of their time in the base game after all. It doesn't take much to make this crucial part more entertaining and rewarding. The mice come alive during purchased FeatureSpins, which could easily have been added with organic triggers.

The Super Wheel spin adds anticipation to bonus round triggers, but landing only 5 free spins with a low multiplier feels underwhelming. A minimum of 10 free spins and an x5 or x10 minimum multiplier would have made each trigger more worthwhile, especially given the potentially long waits between them. Retriggering bonus rounds for extra spins and higher multiplier boosts helps, though. While sticky or roaming wilds aren't groundbreaking, they're proven features capable of delivering solid payouts.

Speaking of payouts, the 12,500x potential is solid enough for a game like this, but Backseat and Hacksaw seem fixated on their standard max win levels. This repetition can become monotonous, highlighting the appeal of developers offering unique max wins per game, like Nolimit City excels at. Overall, Super Twins is an okay game that I enjoyed testing, but some base game features would have elevated it significantly.
