Twister is an old game from Microgaming, perhaps about the same age as the game Triple Twister from Real Time Gaming. The difference is that this Twister game is set in an urban surrounding, as opposed to the farm scenario in Triple Twister, which was once one of my favourite games, until I couldn't access any of RTG casinos since 2 years back. I like the cartoon icons used in Twister. They look quite nice even by today's standards, so they must have looked good when it was first released many years ago. I also like that the game plays with only 15 paylines, and not with 50 paylines, which I am never in favour of, because of the much higher minimum starting bet per spin.
The Twister is the Wild symbol in the game, paying an excellent 15,000x the line bet for getting 5 of them. It substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol, but it doesn't pay anything for itself, it doesn't double wins with it, and neither does it become stacked or expanded. Yeah, a dumb Wild symbol. The TV is the Scatter symbol, paying a low 60x the total bet for getting 5 of them, and getting 3 or more of these Scatters trigger 20 free spins with all wins doubled. The Free Spins game can be retriggered. As for the other symbols, the Old Lady pays 500x, the Young Lady pays 400x, the Boy pays 200x, the Man pays 100x, and the rest pay from 90x to 50x, all per line bet for getting 5 of each kind. Unfortunately, all the other symbols have low values, making the paytable an average one, despite the Wild symbol having an excellent win value. Too bad.
I've played this Twister game many times before, and I do find it enjoyable to play and entertaining too. The average paytable cannot produce much of good wins, except if you get all 5 of the Wild symbols, which would pay a good 1000x the total bet amount in the base game, and 2000x the total bet amount if won in the Free Spins game. The other regular payouts are mostly mediocre in size, ranging from a low 7x up to a decent 60x the total bet amount, with very occasional wins of over 100x total bet. I am also quite satisfied that retriggers of the Free Spins game do happen in Twister, but never as often as anyone would like it to be. Nonetheless, Twister is a fairly good game to play.
