DoublePlay SuperBet Slot by Light & Wonder

The two control panels on the right are the whole point. SuperBet and DoublePlay are separate optional bets, and they shape the game in different ways before you ever hit spin. SuperBet decides where the enhanced multiplier Wilds can land: stake 25 coins and only reel three carries them, 50 coins opens reels two through four, and 100 coins puts enhanced Wilds on all five reels.

DoublePlay handles the size of the multiplier those Wilds carry. Left alone it sits at x3. Pay the level-two premium and it jumps to x6. Pay the maximum and every enhanced Wild rides at x9. One catch worth knowing: the multiplier applies once per winning combination, so two enhanced Wilds in the same line do not stack on each other.

The free games are where the numbers get loud. Three or more scattered Badge symbols hand out 15 spins, and during them all enhanced Wild wins are doubled, so the x3, x6 and x9 levels effectively become x6, x12 and x18. The round can retrigger for another 15. The Badge also pays from any position, adding its scatter win to your line hits.

The look is straight Vegas. Glossy 3D symbols, red sevens, silver stars, gem-studded horseshoes, faceted blue diamonds, golden bells, purple spades and a row of fruit, all sitting on a glassy panel against a swirling magenta nebula. The Wild itself displays its current multiplier right on the symbol, so you always see whether it is an x3 or an x9 before it pays. There is no buy bonus here, so the side bets are the only way to load the reels in your favour ahead of the free games.
