Twin Happiness-Twin Spin

Great successes often get a sequel. So it is in the world of cinema, for computer games and even for slots. For slot machines, it's usually about the current game developer simply giving us players more of what made the original so popular. Dead or Alive and dead or Alive 2 are a prime example.

Very recently NetEnt released a new slot called Twin Happiness . This game can be classified as a sequel to the classic Twin Spin, but still not. In short, it is the same game mechanics that control the game but the graphics are new.

Twin wheels and wilds

Twin Spin one of NetEnt's most popular releases of all time. At the time of writing, Twin Spin is available at over 90% of all casinos with a New Zealand license and the game is just outside the top 10 in terms of popularity. That's not bad for a slot with almost six years on the neck that also has a minimum of special features.

Twin Happiness has just the same twin-wheel function like the predecessor. The concept is simple: in each spin, two adjacent reels get connected and start spinning with the same symbols. They also show exactly the same outcome when they stop. From time to time, the connected wheels can become more and there is even a possibility that all five wheels are connected and synchronized.

This twin spin feature is the only actual bonus in the game. In addition there are wild symbols which act as regular replacement symbols.

On paper, there is not a single difference between the two games from NetEnt in terms of game mechanics and features. Even the payout schedules are identical, as are the actual symbols. It the only thing that separates Twin Happiness and Twin Spin on̊ T is r theme . Where the original is a very stripped-down Story, Twin Happiness is a bit more elaborate in terms of graphics. However, it is wrong to say that NetEnt has overworked the theme. The "Asian" elements are limited to color (everything goes in red and gold), the background music as well as a few occasional design details (rice lamps, Chinese/Japanese writing characters).

Where to play Twin Happiness?

We haven't really gotten clear on whether Twin Happiness will replace Twin Spin or whether the games will be offered side by side. As it is now, it seems that the game developers themselves choose how to do it. At the time of writing, it is still the original that dominates the online casinos.

One site that currently offers games on both castles is Rizk . There is Twin spin as well as Twin Happiness (and Twin spin Deluxe). Here you can thus explore all three games that boast the twin wheel feature.

Part of NetEnt's investment in Asia

New Zealand NetEnt, like many other game developers, has lately started to target more and more towards the huge gaming market in Asia. In early summer, NetEnt began shipping out the first games in what will be a long series of Asian-themed slots. Some of them also go live in Europe while others only launched in Asia . Exactly which of the games will go live where is not entirely nailed down, but it is clear that quite a few will be available to New Zealand players.

What almost all of these games have in common is that they are clones of existing classics. A current example is the new jackpot slot Imperial Riches which was launched on september 4th. This game is a clone of good old Cosmic Fortune. The upcoming Fortune Rangers is a clone of Dazzle me and the current Twin Happiness is a clone of Twin Spin.
