Double Crown Deluxe

Double Crown Deluxe is a classic fruit machine from Redstone, released under the Foxi (Fazi) banner. It uses a five-reel, three-row board with ten fixed paylines, bright fruit symbols, red sevens and a pair of crown wilds that do all the heavy lifting. There are no side games to learn: every win is a line win, and the interest comes from how the crown wilds stack on the middle reels and, on the centre reel, double the payout. The top prize is 1,000x the bet, which the intro screen shows as a big “x1000” under the reels.

Ten Lines, Left To Right

The ten paylines are fixed and drawn on the paytable page: the straight rows are there, together with V shapes, zig-zags and shallow waves across the board. The paytable stresses that all pays go from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel, and that only the highest win on each line is paid. Several lines can win in the same spin, and their amounts are added together. Bets run from 0.20 to 200 per spin, and the demo opens with a 2.00 stake and a play-money balance of 1,000.

What The Symbols Pay

At the 2.00 stake in the demo, the paytable lists five of a kind, four and three for every symbol. The red seven is the top symbol: five of them pay 100.00, which is 50x the stake, four pay 20.00 (10x) and three pay 4.00 (2x). The golden bell follows with 30.00, 12.00 and 3.00, so 15x, 6x and 1.5x. The grapes and the watermelon share the next tier at 20.00, 8.00 and 2.00 (10x, 4x and 1x), then the plum and orange pay 14.00, 6.00 and 1.50 (7x, 3x and 0.75x), and the lemon and cherry close the table with 10.00, 5.00 and 1.00 (5x, 2.5x and 0.5x). Because the amounts scale with the stake, the same multiples apply at every bet level.

Two Kinds Of Crown

The plain Crown Wild appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and replaces the fruit and number symbols to complete a line. It often lands in tall stacks, so two or three crowns can sit on top of each other on a single reel and cover several lines in one spin. The deluxe part of the title is the x2 Wild, a crown marked with a golden “x2” that can only land on the middle reel. When it takes part in a winning line, it acts as a line multiplier and doubles that line’s payout. The two wilds work together, so a stack of plain crowns beside an x2 crown on the centre reel is what the game is built around.

How The Demo Played

Most spins in the demo were small or empty, as you would expect from a medium-volatility fruit slot, and the stake of 2.00 made it easy to follow the numbers. A bell line completed by a x2 crown paid 3.00, a different combination with a x2 wild paid 6.00, and a spin where watermelons, crowns and an x2 Wild lined up across several paylines added up to 10.08. The best result of the session came when stacked wilds on the left and middle reels joined a pair of fruit lines, and the win counter stopped at 24.00, or 12x the stake.

The win animation is clear and quick: the winning lines are drawn across the reels, the symbols that do not take part fade to dark, and the total is printed under the reels. A skip button appears next to the spin control while the reels are moving, which is useful if you want to test a lot of spins quickly.

The Maths Behind The x2 Wild

Because the x2 Wild doubles the whole line, it makes the paytable stretch further than it first appears. A line of five sevens that includes the x2 crown would pay 100x the stake instead of 50x, while the same crown on a four-bell line lifts 6x to 12x. At the smallest bet of 0.20 a five-seven line is worth 10.00, and at the top bet of 200 the same line is worth 10,000, so the game scales from penny sessions to high-stake play without changing its rules. The 1,000x top prize therefore comes from several stacked lines at once rather than a single big symbol.

Reading A Session

A useful way to judge a fruit slot is to watch what the low symbols return. Here a three-cherry or three-lemon line pays only half the stake, and plums and oranges pay three-quarters, so small hits on a single line often return less than you bet. The game rewards patience: it is the wild stacks on reels 2 to 4 that lift a spin from a break-even result to a clear win. In the demo this showed up as a pattern, with the larger results all containing at least one crown.

RTP, Volatility And Max Win

The RTP is 96.58% and the volatility is medium, which suits the rhythm of the game: modest line wins arrive at a steady pace, and the wild stacks bring the occasional bigger hit. The maximum win is 1,000x the bet. The game is a pure line slot, so the Buy button you see elsewhere has no place in it.

Who It Suits

This slot is a good pick for players who miss the simple fruit machines of land-based casinos and want clean rules, readable wins and a single, easy-to-follow special symbol. If you like long feature rounds, it will feel plain, but for short sessions with a classic look and the chance of a stacked x2 line, Double Crown Deluxe delivers exactly what its name promises.
