Double Lucky Mushroom DoubleMax Slot Review
Every day on this job has taught me something new; oftentimes, it’s something I can never scrub from my memory, but I guess there’s always therapy for that.
Today’s lesson is all about ’shrooms – and no, not that kind. I’m going to wow you with facts about bizarre mushrooms that you’ve never heard of (well, at least I hadn’t but then again, I am an ignoramus).
Starting us off is the putrid Bleeding Tooth mushroom, so named because the young fruiting body “bleeds” a red sap. Jesus. You wouldn’t wanna eat it (and it takes like cr*p, too), but – perhaps unsurprisingly – it’s useful for stopping blood clots.
Next up is the Turkey Tail mushroom that really looks the part and is used to boost your immune system.
The last mushroom on my list is the Wood Ear, that unfortunately also lives up to its name. Apparently, it too is an excellent immune booster but the ’shrooms I’m interested in are the money-spinning ones in Double Lucky Mushroom DoubleMax slot from Yggdrasil.
Gameplay
This is my first leprechaun-themed game for the year. I guess the good times couldn’t last forever. Yggdrasil has created an idyllic little Irish scene, replete with rainbows, green fields, and bountiful trees.
The lower-paying symbols on this 5x3-reel game all have Celtic knots on em, and the high-paying ones are made up of mushrooms, green top hats, and a Free Spins symbol which is a leprechaun babe with faerie wings (the Lady Luck symbol).
The Wild is a cauldron filled with gold coins, but there’s also a Super Wild symbol (look out for the four-leaf clover) – both of these substitute for all symbols other than the Scatter. Landing a Super Wild means it’ll fully expand to cover the reel it's on.
The stats this game is built on are good: 20 paylines, a 95.5% RTP, and a high volatility rate. The max win comes in a little on the low side compared to other slots – at €199,990 – but it’ll do. You’ll need to play in fiat currency as crypto is not happening.
Lastly, what about the mobile experience? It’s a bit of an assault on the eyeballs, what with all the vibrant colors, but that’s not a bad thing. Double Lucky Mushroom DoubleMax slot looks great in either orientation on a phone or tablet, so go ahead and pick the one for you.
Features
FREE SPINS:
Things work a little different in this game. Instead of having to land like 3 Scatters to trigger a Free Spin round, you’ll need to land the dedicated symbol – the leprechaun-faerie Free Spins one – to do the job.
3 Free Spins symbols = 8 spins
4 Free Spins symbols = 12 spins
5 Free Spins symbols = 16 spins
Landing a mushroom on reels 1 to 4 during the feature reveals a mystery prize. Landing a Lady Luck symbol on reel 5 brings a multiplier value, which starts at 2x, and doubles each time she lands in view.
Another thing you’ll experience during the feature is that any landed Mushroom Mystery Prize will be multiplied by the Lady Luck multiplier if both are on the grid at the same time.
FREE SPINS GAMBLE:
You’ll get access to the Free Spins Gamble if you land 3 or 4 Scatter symbols. You’ll be presented with a wheel with red and green portions, and if the pointer comes to rest in the green section, you’ll be elevated to the next level.
You can opt out at any time, which is good, coz landing the pointer in the red will lose you all that you’ve gained.
As for the stats, you’ve got a 58.55% chance of scoring a win if you’re gambling from 8 spins to 12. Your chances increase ever so slightly to 59.96% if you take a chance from 12 spins to 16.
WISHING WELL BONUS:
The Scatter is a wishing well and landing 3 or more of these symbols simultaneously triggers this feature. You’ll need to choose 1 of the wishing wells; when you do, its bucket will drop and reel in your cash prize.
Oh, and the value of the prize depends on how many Scatters you started with (so the more Scatters, the more moolah).
BUY BONUS:
For a fee of 65x, you can buy your way into one of two rounds. You could either snag the Free Spins feature and get 8 spins (you have a 79% chance of that happening) or grab the Wishing Well Bonus (21% chance).
Performance
The luck of the leprechauns was with this game, as there were no loading issues, glitches, or other headaches when I played.
Maximum Win
Look at this impressive max multiplier: 19,999x! It means you’ll only need to bet at a sustained €10 if you want a shot at the €199,990 top prize. Nice! Oh, and the lowest you can bet is €0.20 – that should be enough for anyone to handle.
Conclusion
I like what Yggdrasil has done with the features. They’ve gone a very different route to the norm and have integrated elements that give it consistency.
A gripe of mine would be that the info page’s text is tiny, so it’s not easy to read what’s going on. But you won’t have to because I’ve done all that nasty work for ya!
It’s a good game, if you can stomach the theme, so I have no problems with recommending it.
