Theme of the Game
Step inside the gold mine and get ready to dig deep if you want to get that lump of gold. Twice The Money is the latest 5 reel 30 payline gold-digging spinner released by Ainsworth.
The reels are set on a rail track along with the gold cart ready to plunge into the dark depths of the mine in search for the top prize. All the equipment you need will be there to use, but pay special attention to dynamite as it can carry up to 8x multiplier in the Bonus round.
The imagery sports a sharp and vibrant look of sparkling gold lumps, dynamites, scales, lanterns and other mining tools. Working hard will pay off in this case, as you could benefit from two bonus rounds and get Twice the Money.

How to Play It
To get on this underground rollercoaster you will need only $0.01, which is the most affordable slot we have seen lately. Set the value of your stake and pick how many of 30 paying lines you will bet on. This is all you need to do before you hit the spin button and wait for the big prize.
The base game can be pretty lucrative having in mind that the Gold Lump, which functions as a Scatter, will pay even 3,000 credits for five of a kind. The rest of the symbols pay much less but still decent amounts of money.
Should you get five images of scales or five signs that the mine is near, you stand to win 300 credits, while the crate full of gold, lantern and the view of the inside of the mine will pay 150 for five of a kind. The rest of the symbols are typical playing cards letters and number 10, paying the least of all.
Be careful how you handle your dynamite as it is going to be the Wild card in this game. Not only that but it also appears with multipliers in the Free Games. It will appear on reels 3, 4 and 5 only and it won’t pay any money. However, as any Wild symbol it will replace all standard game symbols.

Special Features
There are a couple of interesting points when it comes to special features department. One good and one bad. The good one is that within the Free Games you have the opportunity to get a new Bonus Game while the bad one is that the phenomenal paytable we mentioned before does not apply during the Free Games. In fact, the payouts are considerably lower.
But let’s take a closer look. The Scatter or the Lump of Gold is the one you need to trigger the Free Spins round, and it will suffice to find three of them regardless of their position on the reels.
When you do, the round of 10 Free Spins will start with a different paying system which reduces the payouts of the winning combinations to 600 for five Scatters and only 60 for scales and mine signs.
However, a variation of dynamite symbol is introduced during the Free Spins. Actually, you will see Multiplier Dynamite which can carry number 2, 4 or 8 to represent the multiplying number. 2x multiplier can be won while playing 1st to 4th spin.
Spins from 5 to 8 will have the chance to benefit from 4x multiplier while spins 9 and 10 are played with the highest multiplier. Multiplier Dynamite will appear only on reel 3 and if it is a part of the winning combo it will apply the multiplier to the amount won. This means that the regular dynamite will appear on reels 2 and 4 only during the Free Games.
If three Lumps of Gold appear during the Free Spins you will activate a brand new feature called Twice the Money which adds 5 extra Free Spins.
The good thing about the Free Games is that you could get Multiplier Dynamites across the full reel which means that you stand to win some massive prizes thanks to the multipliers. Unfortunately, the Scatter will not appear during Twice the Money feature.
Maximum Payout
The maximum amount you can stake in this game is $100 which might pay off to those who are willing to risk as the base game offers the opportunity to win 3,000 credits for five Scatter symbols.
Also, the Multiplier Dynamite icons that appear during the free games have the ability to multiply your winnings by up to 8 times, which seriously boosts your balance when you land the Multiplier Dynamites stacked across the entire third reel. One slightly worrying fact might be that the return rate is 94.30% which is quite low.
Summary
Twice the Money definitely offers plenty of opportunities to win staggering amounts of money, be it through base game or through Free Games. The game comes as affordable as it gets, while it also offers a decent betting range to satisfy high rollers.
With the addition of an extra Bonus Game during the initial Free Spins and Multiplier Dynamite that could see your winnings hit the sky with 8x multiplier, this spinner comes highly recommended.
