Twin Spin is NetEnt's slot from December 2013, and its Twin Reel Feature runs on every spin. As each spin starts, at least two neighbouring reels are linked: they stop together and show the same symbols, and the link can grow to three, four or all five reels. Wins come from 243 ways that start on the leftmost reel, with a wild on reels 2 to 5. There is no free spins round and no bonus buy. NetEnt's own page puts the hit frequency at 28%.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as NetEnt publishes it.

Where Twin Spin comes from
NetEnt released Twin Spin on 21 December 2013. The name later went to separate NetEnt games: Twin Spin Deluxe (2017), Twin Spin Megaways (2020) and Twin Spin XXXtreme (2023). This page covers the 2013 original, with 243 ways and the twin reels, and the casinos listed are the ones where we have found it.
How Twin Spin works
The grid is five reels by three rows, with no paylines. Twin Spin pays on 243 ways, all in play on every spin: matching symbols in any position on three or more adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel, make a way win.
Each way pays the paytable value for your bet, and wins on different ways add up. Only the longest combination per symbol is paid, and each extra copy of that symbol on its reels adds ways. Besides the wild, NetEnt's promo video and the pictures in the game's help show a diamond, a red seven, a BAR, a bell, cherries, and A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9.
The twin reels, step by step
-
Two neighbouring reels link
At the start of every spin, at least two adjacent reels are linked: reels 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4, or 4 and 5. -
The link can grow
During the spin the twins may grow into three, four or five linked reels, up to all five stopping as one. -
The linked reels land as copies
Linked reels stop together with identical outcomes: the same symbols in the same rows. NetEnt's page calls them cloned. -
Every spin starts from scratch
The number of linked reels is random for each spin, so a run of plain twins never makes a bigger link due.
How linked reels multiply the ways
Examples for BAR with no wilds. Each way pays the paytable value, and the ways add up.
| What lands | Count | Result |
|---|---|---|
| BAR twice on reel 1, once on reel 2, twice on reel 3, none on reel 4 | 2 x 1 x 2 | 4 ways of three, the help's example |
| Reels 1 and 2 linked, BAR twice on each, once on reel 3, none on reel 4 | 2 x 2 x 1 | 4 ways of three |
| Reels 1 to 3 linked, BAR twice on each, none on reel 4 | 2 x 2 x 2 | 8 ways of three |
| All five reels linked, BAR once on each | 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 | 1 way of five |
| All five reels linked, BAR twice on each | 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 | 32 ways of five |
The wild: reels 2 to 5 only
The wild lands only on reels 2 to 5 and stands in for every symbol, paying the best combination the way allows. It never lands on reel 1, so every way win starts with a real symbol there.
Because linked reels show identical outcomes, a wild on one reel of a linked group on reels 2 to 5 stands in the same row of every reel in the group. With reels 2 and 3 linked, one wild becomes two, and every symbol on reel 1 then has a way of at least three.

How the numbers shape a session
NetEnt gives a hit frequency of 28%. If that is the share of spins that return anything, it means about 28 spins in every 100 over the long run, just over one in four, and it says nothing about how big those wins are.
The twin reels are part of every spin, so there is no bonus round to wait for. A link that starts on reel 1 and reaches reel 3 always pays something, since every symbol on reel 1 then has a way of three.
Symbol payouts follow the bet you choose, so a bigger bet makes every win and every loss bigger in rand. Size the bet by how many spins your budget should cover.

Pros, cons and verdict
- Twin reels on every spin, not a feature to wait for
- 243 ways on every spin, starting from the leftmost reel
- A 28% hit frequency, as NetEnt states it
- Short rules: ways, a wild on reels 2 to 5 and the linked reels
- No free spins round and no bonus buy
- NetEnt's page and Evolution's games site give different RTP figures
- No wild on reel 1, so every win needs a real symbol there
- Later games share the name, so check the tile
Twin Spin keeps its whole idea in the base game: every spin links at least two neighbouring reels into identical copies, sometimes all five. With no bonus round to chase, it suits a player who wants one clear mechanic on sevens, BARs, bells and cherries.
