Double Happiness

This Asian-themed game is one of the first two slots to feature Aristocrat’s new “Gen 7” video platform and sleek “Viridian” cabinet. Gen 7 features top-quality, high-resolution graphics, and the new thin cabinet style features pay-table information in a dynamic video display in the top box. (This will be Aristocrat’s preferred terminal format for downloadable, server-based gaming applications.)

The base game is a 25-line slot in Aristocrat’s “Power Play” series. In this format, the player is given the option to go into “Power Play Mode” by wagering enough to cover the paylines, plus a five-credit ante wager.

Without the ante wager, the main feature is a normal free-spin round with a “Roaming Wild” symbol added to the normal wild symbol, which is a lion. Three, four or five scattered “Double Happiness” symbols trigger 10, 15 or 25 free games, respectively, with the extra wild symbol.

With the ante wager, the free-spin round features two roaming wild symbols, and a random multiplier number that can multiply jackpots on free spins up to 10X.

On either version, the free-spin feature can be re-triggered within the free spins.

Double Happiness is an average-volatility penny slot game with a bonus feature that hits with average frequency. The top award is 2,500 credits times the line bet in normal mode, 25,000 times the line bet in Power Pay mode.
