Double Happy

The quiet shore of a beautiful lake, with the mountains visible in the distance, that’s the perfect place for a guy to propose marriage to his girlfriend. That’s pretty much what I can imagine is happening in Double Happy, a rather unusual video slot. 

We all know that you need money to set up a wedding, and that’s where the game kicks in. But will it be generous enough with the two young lovebirds? Well, let’s find out together. 

Theme

Double Happy is inspired by wedding traditions in Indochina, while the background image shows a beautiful setting on the shore of a mountain lake. Two young lovers decide to marry and the whole game is celebrating that event. 

I would have expected to hear some romantic background music in this slot, but there is none, at least not in the base game. There are some sound effects that can be heard on every spin and whenever you hit winning combinations, but they are not even remotely linked with the theme. 

Betting Options and Functions

This is a standard slot with 5 reels and 3 rows, and a number of 30 fixed paylines. You need at least three matching symbols in consecutive reels from left to right to form a winning combination. 

The most valuable symbol in the game is the portrait of the groom, a combination of five pays 1,000 times the stake. Gender equality doesn’t seem to be a thing in this culture, because the portrait of the bride pays a maximum of just 800 times the stake. 

The theoretical return to player for this title is quite low, just 94.01%. 

Features

Without any kind of background music, the base game can get quite dull after numerous spins. Luckily, there is music to be heard when the special feature kicks in: 

• Free Spins

The Scatter symbol is a shiny red heart, and when you get three of them the wedding can begin. Then music starts playing as you get into the 10 Free Spins, but there’s another nice touch: everything you win during the bonus round is multiplied by two! 

• Wintrack

This is a trademark feature of this developer, a way to keep track of your gameplay with the help of a row of coloured dots that is located just below the reels. 

A winning spin is represented as a red dot, a losing spin is a yellow dot, and a Free Spins session is marked with a blue dot. 

Conclusion

Double Happy is a fun little slot from Aspect Gaming, it is not an innovative product or an original one, but the theme can be quite appealing to a certain audience. 

It does look like there wasn’t much work involved for this game when it comes to the soundscape, but the symbols are nice and crisp and that alone should make the gameplay enjoyable.
