Design Features

The game developers at Red Rake deserve full marks for their artistry and for producing such a dynamic slot game. The theme is light and exudes a regal quality. The harlequins are the main characters, and these are joined by classic fruit symbols such cherries, bells, three types of BARs, the red 7s and so on.
When it comes to the symbols, they are sedate unless they form part of a winning combination and when they do you are treated to a sparkling display and tiny explosion that takes away the winning symbols from the reels. The soundtrack is synonymous of a Vegas casino floor theme together with the rings, jingles and shrieks that players will be familiar with.

Game Mechanics

Red Rake have created a fun slot which is based around a Harlequin theme. If you are lucky the mysterious jester will expand on your reels at the correct time to deliver some huge wins. One thing I was quick to notice was the fact that this slot has the makings of a truly adventurous slot.
The game plays out over five reels, three rows and 25 fixed pay lines. The potential for big winnings is balanced out with the return to player that stands at 95.3%. This is also within the minority of slots that offer a standard pay line set up which gives consecutive wins that are simultaneously taken away from the reel set.

Play to Win

Prior to setting your reels spinning you need to select the bet that you are comfortable with from the Total Bet window. To set your desired bet you can use the plus and minus buttons. The bet range starts from just £0.25 per spin to a maximum of £100 per spin, with these amounts reflecting the coin sizes that range from 1p to the biggest line bet of £4.00 per win line. As soon as you have selected your bet the fun can begin.

To start press the red button on the screen (this is the only one) and this will set your reels spinning but if you want to take the option of just sitting back and watching the game play out before you then you can choose the auto play button which is located to the left of the spin button.

The pay table is energetic and contains the information relating to all the symbol wins in accordance with the active bet plus it also displays further information regarding the bonus features.
The pay outs in Twin Harlequins are made by matching three or more matching symbols land on one or more of the 25 active pay lines. Every win can result in further wins as the slot provides cascading wins and the winning symbols are replaced by a new set.
When it comes to the symbols the most valuable is the wild which will reward you with 200x your stake. This is a real winner as it can land to bigger wins when it is landing with five matching symbols and this can then be enhanced further by winning with a multiplier.

Don’t despair though as there are plenty of smaller wins on offer with the most valuable coming from the triple 7s which reward you with 20x your bet, then the cherries that pay 18x and the single red 7 which rewards 14x your bet. The remainder of the symbols provide pay outs between 2x and 8x your winning bet. All these values reflect wins that are made from 5 matching symbols and they can also be helped by the wild.

Bonus Features

As described above, the slot takes away the winning symbols and then fills the spaced with new symbols. If you land five consecutive wins from your initial spin you will be taken to the Harlequin’s Roulette mini game. The second screen bonus is produced by the two roulette wheels where one displays cash amounts and the other the number of spins. There is a square in the middle that show a multiplier attached to one of the harlequins. With every spin either one or both Harlequins will appear with each of them causing the wheel to turn or where there are the two both wheels turn. Finally, the free spins are activated when you land five wins in a row from your single spin.

Twin Harlequin is available to play for free which is a great way to test out the game and learn exactly how it works prior to risking your own money. I hold slots that offer a demo in high regard as I feel that they give players that little bit more, and I would always advise players to take advantage of this great feature.

Finally Thoughts

Twin Harlequin is a great slot from the developers at Red Rake and players can take advantage of the expanding symbols, free spins and consecutive wins. However, on the other hand there is just one symbol that provides a significant win, this being the wild which after having tested the game I can say is unlikely to stop in five places on your pay lines. With this in mind I would suggest the best wins will come from the smaller symbols and if you are lucky these will be boosted with the multipliers that can be applied during the roulette bonus game.
