Double Happiness Slot by Aristocrat

Bonus Round of Free Spins with Double Roaming Wild

The bonus round of the Double Happiness slot by Aristocrat will be activated once three, four or five Scatters land on the reels in a regular mode, which will trigger 10, 15 or 25 free spins. 2 shifting Wilds will be operating on the reels during the round of free spins. Two of these symbols will shift to the next field at random in each subsequent spin.

If two shifting Wilds end up on the same field at the same time and become a part of a winning combo, your payout for this combo will increase tenfold. Once the Scatters land again, you will get an extra number of free spins. At the end of the game all of the winnings that you have accumulated will be added to your current balance. Double Happiness is a slot with a medium level of graphics and virtually no sound effects. The slot features medium-sized rewards, a round of free spins and the shifting Wild symbols, which will allow you to boost your winnings tenfold.

Symbols and Multipliers 

Payouts for winning combinations are listed as multipliers of your bet per line. All symbols featured in the slot are tentatively subdivided into two categories — special ones and regular ones.

Special Symbols

What makes special symbols different from the regular ones is their unique features and the functions that they perform. These symbols are the Scatter and the Wild.

The Scatter symbol is a picture of a colourful Chinese character called "Double Happiness". 3, 4 or 5 characters landing anywhere on the reels will earn you a reward of 5, 20 or 100 total bets and trigger a bonus round of 10, 15 or 25 free spins.

The Wild symbol is a picture of the head of a Chinese dragon. The symbol is universal and is capable of substituting for virtually all pictures when forming a winning combination. Also, a combo of 2, 3, 4 or 5 Wild symbols will earn you 10, 100, 500 or 2,500 times your total bet.

Regular Symbols

All regular symbols are depicted as playing cards and all sorts of themed pictures. For a combination of 3, 4, 5 and in some cases 2 symbols you can earn the following rewards as multipliers for your bet per line:

• "9" and "10" — 5, 20 and 100
• "J" and "Q" — 10, 30 and 150
• "K" and "A" — 20, 50 and 200
• Metal cymbals — 25, 100 and 300
• A Chinese lantern — 25, 100 and 400
• Chinese firecrackers — 30, 150 and 500
• A drum — 30, 150 and 750
• A Chinese gentleman holding a fan — 5, 50, 200 and 1,000 This is a regular symbol that can land the highest-paying combinations that the slot has available. 5 symbols of a Chinese gentleman will earn you 5,000 credits when the game is played with the maximum bet

Double Happiness Risk Game

The risk game is activated by clicking on the Gamble button, which becomes available once a winning combo lands on the reels. To qualify for a reward in the risk round, you will have to guess either the colour or the suit of the card lying face down. You can pick the colour or the suit by using the appropriate buttons on the interface of the risk game.

If your choice is correct, your winnings for the most recent spin will be either doubled (for guessing the colour correctly) or quadrupled (for guessing the suit correctly). After that the round can be continued. You have 5 chances to boost your winnings in the risk game.

If your answer is incorrect, your winnings for the most recent spin and the bonus round will be lost. You can add the funds to your main balance by clicking on the Take Win button.

Gameplay of the Double Happiness Slot

If you play the free version of Double Happiness the only difference from the original is that it uses virtual credits instead of real money.

Setting the Bet Values

The number of active paylines in the slot stays fixed at 25. By using the +/- buttons you can set your line bet in the range between 0.01 and 5 credits. These values will affect the probability of landing winning combos and the amount of their appropriate rewards.

Your total bet per spin will be displayed in the Total Bet section and formed by multiplying your line bet by 30. With the maximum settings the cost of one spin will be 150 credits. Click on the Max Bet button for the value to be set automatically.

Info windows Balance and Win display the current amount of credits on your account for the most recent spin.

The menu contains the rules of the slot, the paytable, payline patterns and the description of symbols and the Double Roaming Wild bonus round with a series of free spins.
