Land a win worth four times the bet and Four Lucky Diamonds splits its 5x3 grid into four, playing all of them at once. Nine of those four-grid rounds came up across 470 spins at a 1.00 stake, and none of them got the balance back to its opening 1,000.00.
Loading the reels, what grabs the eye first? Occupying centre stage is a 5x3 grid. I played 470 spins on it at a stake of 1.00, starting from a balance of 1,000.00. It spins in 10 symbols to land winners via 10 fixed paylines, and spin prices begin at 0.20 credits, which can be increased to a top tier of 50 credits for anyone after heavier stakes.
Wins are secured by landing 3 or more identical symbols on a line from the leftmost reel, and base game wins of 4x the bet or more also trigger features. In my session 127 of the 470 spins paid something, and 79 of those paid less than the 1.00 stake. I will address them in the following section.
Before then, I’ll examine the maths model, and for one, volatility has been placed on a medium-high tier (4/6). My longest run without a win lasted 14 spins, ending on spin 322.
The theoretical return to player figure comes in at 94.03%. So it is marginally below average. My own session returned 38.7%, with 182.00 won from 470.00 wagered, and the balance never rose above the 1,000.00 it started with.
The low payouts are composed of five coloured gems, with four premiums showing Hearts, 7s, Bells and Stars, and as you’d anticipate, the Heart is the most lucrative in the bunch worth 2,500 times the stake for 5 on a line. The gems come in orange, green, red, purple and blue, and the blue gem pays the least. Subbing for any symbol in the Bonus round to help complete a line, the Diamond wild is useful here.
Boosting the impacts of wins are a set of extras, and for openers, any base game win of 4x the bet or more triggers Lucky Spins. Lucky Spins set off 9 times in my 470 spins, on spins 57, 99, 108, 144, 170, 259, 270, 358 and 378. In Lucky Spins the grid divides into four grids and all four are played. Each of the four grids is the same size as the original 5x3 grid.
This is what each extra has to provide:
Minty Slots Verdict: Max win comes in at 2,500 times the stake, and with that stated, large wins are a tad scarce here. My biggest win was 17.00 on spin 57, or 17x the stake, and the balance finished the 470 spins at 712.00, its lowest point.
