DoubleDown™ Casino Vegas Slots Reviews

by Bookworm4886

I have been playing DoubleDown for years & truly enjoyed it until this last year. I can only assume that they have lost so many players that in order to make any money they have basically turn off the wins. I only bet 50k at a time & had built up to 140M chips when BAM! No more wins. It was like they removed symbols from some of the reels so it is impossible to win. I too have begun experiencing bonus rounds where I win 200k or less. 6 times in the last 3 months I have won 0 on the bonus. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is for the game to congratulate you on winning nothing? I’ve also been reading the recent reviews & see all are negative & double downs response is to thank you for your review. They don’t seem to care if they are losing customers. And they are full of crap when they say the games are the same payout as casinos. If a casino had this much losing it would be out of business. Perhaps if they showed some interest in what the customers complaints are it would be different but they don’t seem to care what you say. I’m done & it’s sad because they do have good games but that doesn’t do any good if you never win.

The game is not worth it. It’s something that you can use to pass the time but unless you’re spending an ungodly amount of money to buy chips...you just don’t win. The free spin every day and the free chips that they give out daily doesn’t help much when you spin at 24-50k and only win 1200. They say to lower your bet until you start winning again....that doesn’t help either. Casual players beware, it will frustrate you to see that these other people are winning big but you continue to loose no matter how much you bet. DO NOT PLAY during the jackpot happy hour. 1 less to win the jackpot but you have to bet 5mil per spin and when you barely get past 10mil in total chips...you can’t make those bets. Over all...stay away from this game until they do more to help the casual player win instead of catering to the “big spenders” of the game.

The worst part is IT IS A GAME. If we wanted lose money we would go to the casino irl and lose money. This is a game...it’s suppose to be fun and make people want to play. All this does is make you lose to the point that you want to delete DoubleDown and never download it again. It’s a game...people want to win when they play a game not constantly lose.

So after playing this for a few weeks and buying some chips, I have come to the conclusion that they don’t value customers. I guess they made some money off of me tho. There is no algorithm or even chances of winning. Played hours tons of days and never saw a bonus. I even took like 10 different videos of how terrible dozens of their slots pay out and how terrible the wins are. This is literally hands down the worst a lot app ever. I have better luck at a casino with the wins set to low..... this isn’t bad luck, as the lines in almost every game come up pretty much the same. If ya win it’s only on the first 3 lines mostly, bonuses are barely ever there( seriously you can play every day and it will take weeks for a bonus.), the bonus pay out is trash and not even worth it, and it’s only selling point is that it has slots that are in your local casinos. That’s it. If there was a way to get my money back I would, but I was stupid enough to give money to this terrible app. The daily chips you get are even trash. You can play on average 10-12 spins and your done. Unless you have 100 friends to get ya chips daily I suppose. Overall after reading reviews from others, which I’m sure they delete, it’s pretty unanimous the wins are non existence. The people that actually rate this above 1 Star are probably created accounts from the company, unless you like to lose I guess. DoubleDown is a rip off.

They say the odds are always the same... not buying it. It seems the more chips you have the less odds you have of winning. On top of that, the XP leveling progression is minuscule and slow. Good luck getting to level 11 if your going for any online promotions which I feel is the reason for this. 2 other slot games that come to mind who offer HIGHER incentives but at a higher level like 150 were SO MUCH less difficult to achieve which is so appreciated in these days where people are stuck at home and in dyer need of some kind of financial help. So much so that I for one still play them and know several others that do as well, even after completing the offer. I’ve played this game EVERY DAY for 10 days (Never hit 1 jackpot) and have just cracked level 9. Definitely not worth the time or effort, let alone buying chips to keep playing. The slots are decent for the most part but the optimization of these slots are horrible. I’m on an iPhone XS Max and this game runs extremely slow on some slots ie: Dropped frame rate, Never-ending spinning, irregular payout etc. And the Odds seem to get steeper the more chips you have and the level your on. BEWARE indeed.

Be warned. They turn the winning on and they turn it off. These are not random win games. It is a business and they take your money, and give nothing back..except, a little pleasure in winning. however. They turn winning on and off. For me it’s mostly off. How can they keep taking my money like that, and not give anything back? Example Mystical Mermaid. The bonus feature uses a treasure chest on the first reel.. but it vanishes from off the first reel. So, How can you get a bonus when the key symbol you need to win is missing? I bought $600 million chips. In one turn it jumped me to 1.1 billion. From then on, It was down down hill continuously from there. No jackpots, no wins, just took and took and took. Bet 1 mil, win 200k, which means I lost 800k.. bet bet bet, lose lose lose, bet, 1 mil, win 200k lost 800k.. constantly lose down.. the only time you win, is right after you buy chips. For a couple minutes. Then they turn off the winning. I even though to buy my chip jar. Lose lose lose. So be warned.. They turn on winning, they turn off winning. It is not random. It is not regulated like a real casino. The fun for me is winning. Not playing, but winning. I want to win, this game should try to give something back, instead of taking all the time. 1 billion dollars lost..piece of crap

I have been playing DoubleDown since the very beginning and it was a very good app. But as the years passed, slowly DoubleDown has been getting really bad! Now you hardly win on any of the slots!!! To top it off you guys did something to the daily bonus!!! I had it up to 25 days and it’s been like that for years! Then all of a sudden it makes me start at day 1!!! Sometimes I would spin a couple of hours after the day before and you guys wouldn’t penalize just a couple of hours late. Most of us are working people and are busy everyday!!! I can’t get to it on a timely basis and would be a little late, but you guys would let it go! But now I don’t know what is going on!!! After having to start at day one, I had it at day 20 then the next day it made me start at day 1 again!!! On Thursday I had to start at day 1 again! UGH!!! Ok, so then yesterday (Friday) it was day 2. I got my bonus around 6:30AM. Then today (Saturday) I got my bonus at 5:30 AM and guess what??? I HAD TO START AT DAY 1 AGAIN!!!!! WTH is going on???? This is not the first time this has happened, I even sent you guys a ticket to look into my problem! It’s been around 3 weeks and no answer!!!!! Is there no one home to answer all of our problems and concerns???? Please fix this problem and explain to me what is going on!!!!

Dear Support, Your game(s) must be broken because I have put a BUNCH of money into them the last few months and I get no real playtime at all. The cost of chips is high. The VIP program is laughable. To win the big jackpots you have to bet high… and you just keep losing. I have noticed the reviews in the iPhone App Store have been mostly negative these days. The only reason you have maintained above a 4.5 rating is due to the multitude of positive ratings from long ago when the games used to be fun and didn’t cost as much to play. I hope it catches up to you and you fall hard. It’s truly horrible the way you take from customers. I came to this game thinking it would give me my fun without traveling to the casino. Well it turned out to be more expensive than the casino just to get to play for a while. My loss and lesson learned. I will go to a real casino as my chances are better to get a little play from my money. Your company has apparently forgotten THIS IS A GAME AND SHOULDN’T BE SO COSTLY TO PLAY. IT IS ENTERTAINMENT, NOT A REAL CASINO. AND ITS A COMPLETE SCAM…. Suggestion to potential players… don’t play… unless you have hundreds to spare for zero return and zero play time.

I have been playing this app for several years now. The games have not improved but have gone down hill. It only takes a matter of minutes to loose millions. Bonuses that produce absolutely no chips in wins. How fun is that! I use to buy chips here and there, but quit since the millions of chips I buy run out quickly. I would rather take that money and spend it on a real slot machine with a chance to win real money. One day the machines are paying and the next day not one machine is paying and the millions disappeared quickly. Why would I spend my hard earned money to loose fake chips quickly. No fun that’s for sure! I love the games, just hate how tight your games are! I play several different games to find a half way decent game that pays some, but there are more days when not one game pays out, just takes it. No fun, only frustrating! I will continue to use your free chips, but I will no longer buy them. And your one less jackpot payout sessions are a big joke! You have to spend a million a spin to never get a big win. What a great way for you to scam people out of their money when they will never win spending millions on one spin! What a joke! No thanks!

I have been playing this game for many years. I would guess probably close to the beginning of DoubleDown . This is not DoubleDown it used to be. So many things have changed that I don’t know where to start. Since it’s happy hour right now I’ll start with that. It used to be that during the time this app had happy hour there would be at least 1800 jackpots to be won. Over the last year or so they have reduced the number of Jackpots down to the low so far of 900 the last 2 weeks. This means that the number of the millions of players they brag about having are on average winning at the rate of about 30 players/ hour. Well, doesn’t that sound fun?! What a great chance of winning! They also took away the lower entry amount of a game or two that those who couldn’t afford to buy chips could still have some fun. The Diamond Club is a farce in that there’s no incentive to buy chips to play the games. They used to offer more 3x deals and often 4x. Not so much any more. There’s more but I’m tired of writing for now. A life lesson from this is don’t play any of these games at a real casino because their pay out is not even worth taking the chance of getting lucky!

You need to do something about the payouts! I used to love this game and just recently realized how much of a scam this game really is while playing a couple of the special offerings that I had never played before. And yes I realize it is a gambling game but at least read my post first. The first one is in regards to the Journey. I started out with over 100 million chips and at one point along the way was up over 1 billion in chips. When I finally completed it I was down to 50 million and that was only because I had bought more chips to finish because I was on the last game of the last stage. Out of all the chips that were lost I maybe won 10 million back by completing the stages. And when you get to the last few stages it’s almost impossible to beat so you have to play it over and over therefore betting more. What a joke! The second one is the Bingo game where you earn call numbers by playing slots except it costs like 4-5 million to earn one call and when you eventually win a line you might get $300,000 back. Keep in mind there are nine spots on the bingo board out of a possible 15-18 call numbers so do the math, you may win 2.4 mil when it’s all said and done but you’re gonna spend almost 100 mil to get there. Please give me a reason to continue playing this game... a good start would be giving me part of the billion in chips back.

I have been playing this game for awhile, they have added quite a few new games to keep it from getting stale, but in the end the win algorithm is too tight, I play to have fun and winning and stacking chips is why you play. If I wanted the same odds of winning, I would just play with real money at a casino. I recently played the Red Hot replay game to test out the payout percentage, I spun the reels for 68 straight times and won zero times... when I did finally win at spin 69 it was for $16k off a $12k bet. This same losing streak continued until I ran out of money around spin 85. I found it a bit ridiculous when the ad to pay real money to buy chips popped up, I thought are you even kidding me. I just lost all my chips, didn’t get to win one time and now you want my real money to do the same thing. I get it that you should not win every time to keep it exciting, but I like others play to decompress and have some fun, in the end not getting to win very often is not having much fun. Loosen up the algorithm and let us win a bit more, after all it is in the end just a game for entertainment.

I’ve played for a little over a year. It was good in the beginning but has gone downhill fast. I play daily (at least the challenges) ant it took me a year to get above $400 million. Of course nearly half of that was daily giveaways. The themes are fun but like I said the winning percentage is atrocious and makes the games not fun. For example, there are several slots where you will not win unless you hit a bonus round. ( I consider winning making over your original bet, not “winning” $500 on a $10,000 bet) I have played daily challenges where the goal is one bonus round. I’ll put it on auto play and lose $30 million in under an hour (on $50k/bets) and still not hit a bonus round. I’ve received daily notification for 30 free spins and won absolutely nothing. Why would you promote free spins on a game and the game pays exactly $0 on $300k in spins? Finally, all you really need to know about how little these games pay out is to look at their weekly “jackpot happy hour” that starts Thursday evenings. This is where jackpots are easier to get on select machines and it runs until 1500 jackpots are won. It keeps a counter of wins in the upper left of the game. It almost always last to Saturday afternoon and sometimes we’ll in to Sunday. Really? If it’s easier to win a jackpot on your most popular machines during happy hour what do you think the odds are on the rest? Junk.

When I first got this game I thought it was fun and exciting. You get a few chances but not nearly enough to receive free chips daily and throughout. You also use to be able to “level up” simply by the amount of chips spent (bid) and play time. Now they have closed this portion of the game down and you are only able to “level up” by purchasing chips as well as the daily spins hit small amounts and very often their free chip giveaways don’t download weather it be on Facebook giveaways or their notifications they send. The past couple months I have not one hit any type of jackpots or bonuses just spin the real and watch my chips be taken away without gaining any back from ANY of the games. Unless you have or are able to bid millions of chips at a time to hit no more small bid winnings. This quickly went from a fun game to the most outrageous game I’ve played. My advice is to NOT get involved as over time they force you to purchase even though says it’s a free game and they give free chips away... Customer Service is also not very helpful or nice but rude. I asked for help several times about chips being l knee or the game conveniently freezing up when I’m trying to get my free chips from a notification and no reply or rude replies without compensating or replacing those chips not given.....

I didn’t know if I wanted to give you 2 or 3 stars but opted for 3 because I have really had fun playing Double Down slots for years. Sadly, I have been so disappointed this last year though, that I just deleted DoubleDown . The payouts have been so low it’s not worth it to play anymore. It’s rare to win enough chips to be able to continue playing for longer than about 10-15 minutes. It keeps telling you to raise your bet for bigger payouts but it doesn’t usually happen that way. Even in Free Spins, for example, I had 30 free spins and won only 20,000 chips, and again, when I got 25 free spins I won only 4,800 chips. Many times it’s been even lower than that. I’ve won free spins and at the end it said, “Congratulations! You have won 0”. Not one chip! And that has happened numerous times. It’s pretty discouraging. I know DD wants people to purchase chips, but, I for one, cannot afford to buy chips, so I relied on the daily free chips, which I have appreciated, and the winnings, to be able to continue playing. I have always enjoyed the DD slots…they were always my favorite……so thank you for that.

It’s no fun if you can’t win once in a while. I understand you are going to lose, and the more you play, the better your odds of losing. However, after comparing site’s I’m convinced that the game’s are manipulated. An average game will hit all combinations eventually, I have been a member here for a long time and there are certain jack pots I have never hit or seen hit especially in the mega bucks game’s you might think that’s not unusual but considering I play every day and have done so for more than ten years. Why is it so difficult to allow these games to be game's of chance? You’ll still make money and people won’t feel like this site is such a scam? Nobody want's to play where they always lose, and if 4 plus million credits can be lost in less than 30 minute’s and occur regularly then they are not fun to play, it’d be different if these game’s paid you legal tenders when paying off but they don’t only credit’s that players must purchase and they are not inexpensive. It cost the site owners very little to create credits outta thin air. Perhaps you shouldn’t be so proud of your credits that you’ve priced them so high. One will need to take out a second mortgage to buy credit’s enough to scare one to death.

this app is one of my favorite mobile slots to play. I occasionally purchase coins but since there is no real money payout, I depend primarily on bonuses, rewards, and payout winnings for my coin balance. I play the daily challenges everyday but the reward spins on Mondays always pay a minuscule win amount. this app always put me in the high limits room so it takes a lot of coins to meet those challenges. I would think this app would want to highly reward their high limits players. Giving a 500k payout on the Monday rewards spin when it took me 50M or more to meet the challenges is completely disappointing. Also, please retire “3x, 4x, 5x Diamonds” Mega Bucks games OR at least keep it out of the challenge games!! It’s a single pay-line game that rarely pays out. Playing a 1/2 million per spin in order to win more than 600k 10 times in a challenge nearly wiped me out! I’ve spent my limit on extra coins right now. this app please do better. I love DoubleDown and don’t want to delete it from my entertainment and I do not wish to break MY bank.

I have been playing Double Down for several years now and have reached the Orchid level which basically means I have invested a lot of money with DD. My favorite game is Rolling Gold. In all the time I have played it I have never ever hit a gold with anything over 30 million playing from 6-10 million a pull. Anytime I see a 72, 120 etc I know I’m not going to win. Also when i do hit the 6 gold for the bonus play it’s crazy how many times I don’t get any or I will get the minimum 600K to 1 million depending on the amount I am playing. Look I know it’s a game of chance but after spending in excess of 20K to reach this level you would think I would hit one of the high numbers. Also as a suggestion to the staff at DD when you have a player betting big why do you give out free spins for 12K. My goodness you talk about how you replicate Vegas how about some comps for those that spend so much money with you. The wheel is a joke. You never hit the big numbers. It’s always 100k to 500K. I think you should throw some nice chips to your most valuable customers who are spending good money.
Please pass this on.

I have been playing for 10 years at least. The game has evolved so much and I love it. However there are a few things that I find need to be addressed. They are minor what would make the game so much more enjoyable. One being the daily Challenges. They would be so much more enjoyable to play if the dollar amounts wonWere higher. They are so ridiculously low that you spend 100 times more to play and achieve the goal than you actually win. I stopped participating. The other thing that I would like to address is when I win big the dollar amount automatically fills where my total is while I play. I don’t need to see BIG WIN and have the dollar amount slowly build then have to click ok in order to keep playing. Also, The smaller wins when I bet higher dollar amounts to spin should be relative to the amount of one spin. For instance if I’m spending $240,000 per spin and I have a small win it should be higher than $3000. Otherwise the games are enjoyable and fun to play.

I fully understand that I am playing for entertainment, with no chance for payout. I have been using the site for more than a year and I am convinced that the chances of “winning” in the newer games have certainly declined. The “free spins” in the newer games have been reduced from ten to 3 or 5. The newest games are well designed, interesting and action-packed, but seemingly never give “free games” or any sense of winning.

The site can still be exciting, but I now keep a more precise count of earnings. Just as I do in a real casino, I count the number of spins until I get a significant win. If the game I am playing is unproductive, I stop playing. When I sense that none of the games are paying out, or the payouts are low, typical of “happy hour”, I move to a different site.

The recent decline in payouts has caused me to search the web for other casino sites, and I have not been disappointed with my discoveries.

I had been home recovering & saw Doubldown on FB I instantly played.. & I do often spend money on chips.. The only problem I have with DoubleDown is that neither of my emails are verified & they send me the link almost daily but it doesn't work .. I even created an email for this game. But when I try to tell them it's still not working or if I lose chips or have a problem u have to put in a support ticket & then it ask u to put your email in so they can help u when I type my email in it says not recognized. So when I need something I get pretty annoyed lol. I have tried to fix this a gazillion times I'm over it.. I love this casino game wheel of fortune is awesome on here & I can't find another casino like this.. Besides the email thing I love to play.. I wish I was one of those that wins the big jackpots but I also don't have 99$ to spend on this but I as I said love it.. Thx Doubldown for trying to help me register it just doesn't work.. Great Game I'm not a gamer but this has me.. good luck fellow addicted Doubledowners..

DD games initially get you sucked in with free chip offers. The key here is not betting huge. You can if it’s a new account but the longer you okay the worse the payouts get. If you have been playing over 39 days stop and sign up again using a disposable email (search it) and thus way you can continue to receive decent pay outs (30 days max). Like in FB and you will probably get close to 1M free chips per day. Again keep your betting in check (under 100k) and you should easily be able to last the 30 day cycle before having to sign up again so yo get a decent pay out. DD makes its money on you buying “chips” that get you NOTHINGS in return but time to play your favorite game. You can’t win anything or any prizes so don’t be fooled. These games are excellent quality easily the same as you would find in your local Indian casino. DONT BUY CHIPS!!! Search the internet on how to get free DD chips, after 30 days delete any account you may have set up and re apply/set up a new profile. OH AND Did I mention DONT BUY CHIPS!!! you cannot win anything!!!
