Double Dinosaur Deluxe

Dropped into a Dino Adventure

Picture yourself in a wild, misty valley where bursts of smoke rise from a distant volcano and dinosaur fossils might be right beneath your boots. You’re not stumbling into a museum exhibit here—you’re actually side by side with a team of grizzled archaeologists, hunting for lost giants while dino shadows flicker past. The mood is set right away. The visuals are rich and bold, with detailed characters (both human explorers and dinosaurs) that leap out thanks to some top-notch animations. You’ll catch little details as you spin: a map that might hide a clue, or a dinosaur skull drawn so well you’ll want to Google which species it belongs to. All while a slightly mysterious, suspenseful soundtrack keeps you guessing—are you about to make the big fossil discovery, or run for your life from something lurking off-screen?

Double Dinosaur Deluxe comes from High 5 Games, a developer with a known weakness for creating slots packed with creative features and lush artwork. If you’ve played slots like Cats or Da Vinci Diamonds, you’ll already know H5G likes to mix innovation with readability. This one’s not just a new coat of paint over the original Double Dinosaur—the whole presentation feels more alive. Whether you play on desktop or mobile, the visuals hold up. No awkward resizing, no blurry icons, just smooth gameplay that works as well laying on the couch with your phone as it does at your desk.

Getting Right to the Spin

You get a classic grid: five reels, four rows, and 50 paylines—no messing with custom line selection, the lines are fixed. This means every spin gives you the best shot possible to hit something worth your while, since you’re always covering the board. Bets start nice and low (0.50 if you’re feeling cautious) but high-rollers can spend up to 500.00 per spin if they’re daring (or just like a bit of drama). That sets Double Dinosaur Deluxe as pretty accessible no matter your appetite for risk.

RTP is clocked at 95%. Industry average is around 96%, so just a touch lower than the ‘standard’—not a deal breaker, but something the careful number-crunchers will want to note. Volatility sits in what most would call medium to high. In practice, this means some spins can be a bit dry, but then you’ll suddenly land a win that feels juicy enough to keep things exciting. The base game isn’t a total grind, either, thanks to some handy mechanics that hit more often than you’d guess. Turbo and autoplay modes are built right in for those who want to get down to the action fast—a bonus if you like letting the game do a bit of the work while you’re multitasking.

Wilds, Splits, and Free Spins

Even when you’re just spinning away in the base game, Double Dinosaur Deluxe throws a few curveballs. The game logo is the wild symbol. It acts just the way you’d hope—substituting for almost anything else except the Dino Eye scatter. When this wild lands, it doesn’t just show up solo: it appears stacked, layering up to fill entire reels or cover plenty of space, which makes for more (and bigger!) wins. As a wild, it makes winning lines easier to land, but it also acts as a split symbol for certain icons—basically functioning as two symbols in one spot when the explorer or dinosaur icons are scoring a win. A full line of wilds is not something you’ll see every day, but if it hits, it’s a top payout moment.

And about those split symbols: this is classic High 5. Some pays—especially with the human and dino characters—can count as up to ten icons in a row, not just five like in your average slot. So instead of the usual three-to-five match wins, you’ll sometimes see wins pay out for up to ten symbols. This keeps things interesting and means those big, rare hits really feel big.

The real action is in the bonus game. Land three Dino Eye scatter symbols on the middle three reels and you unlock six free spins on a fresh, more intense set of reels. Suddenly, meteors drop from the sky and the volcano absolutely goes wild in the background. Free spins can make or break your balance, but here, every win pays both left-to-right and right-to-left. No more fretting over winning lines starting only from the left. Luck in these free games means maybe retriggering another patch of six spins, up to a massive 96 spins total. There’s no fancy pick-me games or progressive jackpot here—just pure, old-school bonus round fun, but with serious payout potential.

Chasing the Big Symbols

Wins are driven mostly by theme-fitting symbols: the lead explorer is top of the food chain when it comes to payouts, dishing out up to 5000 coins if you manage the ultra-rare ten-symbol hit. Second up is the co-explorer with 3000 coins, followed by the T. Rex roaring in with its own chunky reward at 2000 coins for the max combo. All of these can appear as split symbols, so it’s possible (though not common) to line up the ten-of-a-kind win that you see in the paytable.

Low-paying symbols are the usual card suits—nothing special, but they do their job by showing up often and fueling those smaller wins that keep your balance ticking over. The wilds (game logo) carry their own payout; hit five across and it matches the top symbol in value. Scatters (the Dino Eye) don’t pay out direct cash but are your ticket into the free spins. The animations on the special symbols are solid: wilds stack quickly, eyes glow on scatters, and every big win gets a little animated flourish. No need to squint at the screen to catch what’s happening.

If You're New: How It Plays

Setting up a session on the Double Dinosaur Deluxe slot is a breeze, especially on mobile. Adjust your line bet using arrows—this sets how much you’ll wager per spin. Hit the big spin button in the center to start. Want to let the game play itself for a bit? Tap the autoplay button and set your number of spins. All game info—the paytable, rules, and bonus explanations—are a quick tap away, usually behind the little menu or 'i' button. For the first spins, don’t be surprised if the wins are modest. It’s all about matching three or more symbols from left to right along a payline. With split symbols, occasionally lines can fill up way past what you’d expect. When free spins hit, that’s when things go from chill to thrilling—watch the background, wins, and animation kick up a gear.

Not sure if you’re ready to wager real cash? The Double Dinosaur Deluxe demo (also called Double Dinosaur Deluxe free play) lets you try out all the mechanics at zero risk. It’s the same game, same pace, just with play credits—perfect to get a feel for the base game, bonus round, and those split symbol wins before you put anything on the line.

Reminds Me of These Slots

If the idea of split symbols and high-octane bonus rounds sounds familiar, that’s no accident. Double Dinosaur Deluxe feels a bit like High 5’s own Cats or even Golden Goddess—especially when you see just how crazy the paytable can get if you start landing split symbols up and down the reels. Where this game stands out is with the dino theme handled with a real sense of movie-adventure style—not too cartoony, definitely not dry.

Fans of Book of Ra and Book of Dead might miss the risk-choosing gamble round, but the volatility and free spins both deliver that sense of anticipation. It’s a little more straightforward than something like Da Vinci Diamonds, but don’t mistake that for boring. If you want more dinosaur action after this, look for Jurassic World or Raging Rex as the next step.

The Final Word

For anyone chasing a slot with well-thought-out mechanics, sharp visuals, and a theme that actually feels like a story, Double Dinosaur Deluxe is a strong pick. The split symbol wins bring extra heat to the usual five-reel gameplay. Retriggerable free spins can keep the adrenaline up for a good while, and the stacked wilds are always a highlight when they drop into place. The RTP could be a shade higher, but the consistent action balances things out. Casual players will appreciate the presentation and ease of play, while risk-takers get enough swings at big wins to stay hooked.

Trying the Double Dinosaur Deluxe demo or switching to Double Dinosaur Deluxe free play first is a solid way to get a proper feel for the slot’s rhythm and bonus frequency before betting real cash. If big, bold adventure themes tick the right boxes, this one’s a slot that won’t disappoint.
