Lucky Twins Link and Win

Auspicious Duo Link and Win Review

Auspicious Duo has always been a popular Asian-themed slot, and now it receives an upgrade. Produced by a studio for a platform, Auspicious Duo Link & Win keeps the same theme but introduces new features. For the broader audience, it offers familiar gameplay mechanics.

This release follows a similar concept in terms of gameplay to other slots with the Link & Win feature. Design-wise, Auspicious Duo Link & Win utilizes a traditional Asian theme. While changes have been made, some aspects remind you of the original Auspicious Duo slot, particularly the color scheme. The reels are set against a backdrop of a simple red pattern. Some might find this a typical Asian style, but fans of the Far East aesthetic will likely appreciate it.

The actions of the Auspicious Duo Link & Win slot unfold across a 5x4 grid with 40 winlines, and players can bet from €0.2 to €20 per spin. The volatility is high, and the default RTP is 96.23%. However, RTP ranges exist, so different return values are possible, such as 94.24%, 92.24%, or even 86.94%. Wins should occur relatively frequently, with a 33.28% hit rate. The maximum prize is 6,110x the bet.

The paytable features recognizable Asian symbols and royals. A-J symbols represent the lower values, while the premiums include fans, coins, firecrackers, kites, and lucky cats. Three or more matching symbols create a winning combination, with five-of-a-kind wins worth from 2x to 7.5x your bet. The twins symbol is Wild, appearing on all reels and substituting for any regular symbol. It also has the highest value, paying up to 10x the bet for line wins.

Auspicious Duo Link & Win Slot Features

The Link & Win feature is central to the gameplay. Let's explore the modifiers available in the base game and free spins.

On any spin, some symbols may randomly appear Power Stacked, covering one or more reels. This applies to all symbols except Wilds and Scatters during the base game. In free spins, only Wilds and cash symbols can be Power Stacked.

Landing 3 or more Scatters anywhere in view during the base game awards 10 Free Spins. Players also receive an instant cash prize of 1x, 10x, or 100x the bet when 3, 4, or 5 triggering symbols appear. The bonus game is similar to the base game, but Wild symbols and Coins are Power Stacked on each spin. Retriggers are not possible.

Coin symbols are cash symbols with random values of 1x - 15x the stake or one of three jackpot prizes: Mini, Minor, and Major, worth 40x, 100x, and 1,000x the bet respectively. When 6 or more coins appear simultaneously, the Link & Win feature is triggered.

The triggering coins stick to the reels, and players proceed to special reels with only coin symbols. You start with 3 respins, and each new coin becomes sticky, resetting the spin counter to 3. The bonus continues until no respins remain or all reel positions are filled. Filling the grid awards a Grand Jackpot of 5,000x the stake.

Review Summary

In summary, Auspicious Duo Link & Win is an Asian slot with familiar features. It's decent, but it might not stand out. The theme might not appeal to everyone, and the max win is lower compared to other games with the Link & Win. However, fans of Chinese culture may find entertainment in the Auspicious Duo slot.
