Double Digger Slot Conclusion

This game provides a fun experience down a gold mine among Diamond Symbol and high-value prizes. Digging for gold and playing slots share some similarities, such as the big hit that can come at any moment, and we have previously seen the gold mining theme in games such as George’s Gold and Gold Rush. Double Digger offers a user-friendly and visually appealing interface, and although we’ve seen the theme before, it still creates an immersive atmosphere offering golden nuggets. 

In terms of stats, this game offers decent numbers with a below-average RTP by default and a max win on the low side. Like always, we want the stats to be favorable to players, and even though these numbers don’t make us jump for joy, Double Diggers still offers the potential for making big wins, such as the Grand Prize of 500X. So, what about the features? If you are familiar with previous releases from Playtech, this game may be surprisingly straightforward. This game feels like a light version of the Cash Collect series from this provider, with games like Gold Rush Cash Collect and Joker Rush: Cash Collect. What separates Double Diggers from these games is the way of collecting cash symbols. There is no Cash Collect Symbol in this game; instead, the cash symbols are collected via the Double Wild Feature. This thrilling feature is triggered whenever Wild Symbols land on reels 1 and 2 simultaneously and collects all values on reels 3, 4, and 5. While testing this game, the feature triggered frequently, keeping you on the edge of your seat during the Base Game while collecting Diamond Symbols with values ranging from 1X to 15X. During the Free Games, a Multiplier Symbol can land on the reels with values up to 10X, creating an extra spice to the Bonus Game that separates it from the Base Game. 

If you want action from the start, you can always trigger the Extra Bet Mode and get a grid setup of 3-3-6-6-6, but it is important to remember that the stats change, such as the max win and cash values get lower, but the chances of triggering the Free Spins increase. In conclusion, if you appreciate games from Playtech, this game will not disappoint, but we are missing an edge that makes this game stand out, such as a bigger max win. To end on a positive note, we really enjoyed the Double Wild Feature, a feature we haven’t seen before, showing impressive ambition from the provider.

Double Digger is a slot that takes you down a gold mine, offering the Double Wild Feature with prizes up to 500X the bet!
