Dublin Up Doublemax Review

The Doublemax series, which originated with Yggdrasil and has since been delegated to different partner studios, hasn’t really seen the level of success we initially thought it would. Dublin Up Doublemax is another attempt by Reflex Gaming, and it takes you to an enchanted forest where a fairy named Scarlett O’ Sparklewish will accompany you on the left-hand side.

The forest visuals are bright, colorful and idyllic, and the Celtic soundtrack adds a calming aura to the whole experience. The fairy can award a symbol removal modifier at random times, and the multiplier keeps doubling per cascading win. The multiplier becomes persistent in the bonus round, which makes it easier to close in on the solid 20,024x potential.

Dublin Up Doublemax Slot Features

Any winning combination starts the pop and drop Cascading feature, and this removes the winning symbols with a “pop”. New and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps, and you’re also guaranteed to get at least one Wild symbol per drop. Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, like wilds usually do.

What’s more, each cascading win doubles the Win Multiplier, and it starts at x1 for the triggering win while doubling per subsequent win. The win multiplier does not come with an upper limit, so things can get interesting when you hit longer cascading streaks.

The Fairy Magic reel bonus can trigger at random times after a base game spin, and you’ll then see the fairy cast a spell to remove symbols from the grid. This triggers the pop and drop cascading mechanic, and it comes with a win guarantee.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatters in the same cascading sequence triggers the Bonus Round, and this awards 7, 10 or 13 free spins, respectively. You can gamble your way to 13 FS in the pre-bonus gamble, but this is optional. If you gamble from 7 initial free spins you stand to lose the whole feature if the needle lands in the red segment on the wheel.

If you trigger the bonus round with 5 bonus scatters, you start with 13 free spins and there is no option to gamble for more than that. The big difference in the bonus round is that the doubling multiplier never resets between spins, like it does in the base game. You can pay extra per spin to double your bonus round chances via the Lucky Bet feature.

The 200 Spins Dublin Up Doublemax Slot Experience

We had a pretty good time testing this game, as we’ve always liked the Doublemax concept.

Review Summary

We found the fairy, Scarlett O’ Sparklewish, to be a bit creepy to be honest, but maybe that’s just us. The Celtic theme is idyllic enough though, and the Dublin Up title is a clever play on words for a game with Irish roots and a doubling multiplier. The Doublemax feature certainly makes the base game more interesting than many other cascading mechanic releases, as the multiplier grows quicker than you may think.

This is reflected in the ‘rice on a chess board’ story, as doubling the number of grains per square adds up to an astronomical number of grains on the 64th square. Everything is enhanced when the doubling multiplier doesn't reset between bonus round spins, and the 20,024x potential is within reach when the multiplier just keeps building. Overall, a pretty decent installment in the Doublemax range, at least if you enjoy the Celtic fairy theme.

Pros

• Cascades with a guaranteed wild per drop
• The win multiplier doubles per cascading win
• FS w/ non-resetting win multiplier
• Win up to 20,024x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95.5 % is a tad below average
