Maaax Diamonds Golden Nights Bonus Slot – Free Demo

Ten lines of fruit and a Diamond that stretches

Maaax Diamonds Golden Nights Bonus is a contradictory slot, thrilling and loaded with explosive promise, yet there's a genuine likelihood you'll doze off. My session ran for 480 spins at a stake of 7.20. But then the harsh truth of medium-high volatility slaps you back awake, just as you begin to settle in. Only 117 of my 480 spins paid anything, 70 of them less than the stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 23 spins. That fairly much wraps this slot up. I could stop it at that. But as I've got nothing better to do, let's check what lies hidden in the code.

Maaax Diamonds Golden Nights Bonus is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 paylines. The game can also be played on 5 lines instead of 10. It's a traditional arrangement. Wins pay for matching symbols on an active payline. Despite the steady rise in win ways observed with other providers, it's still pertinent to this day, and the game arrives loaded with some intriguing mechanics as well, such as a Golden Nights Bonus with a jackpot draw. The Golden Nights Bonus did not trigger in my session, so the base game carried the whole return.

Sevens on top, oranges near the bottom

Symbols on the reels comprise traditional fruits - watermelon, grapes, orange, lemon and cherry - as well as the Bar, the Bell and the Seven. The latter is the most lucrative, granting you up to 250 times the stake. My biggest win in the session was 158.40 on spin 4, or 22.0x the stake.

Acting as the wild symbol is the Diamond Wild, which lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 solely and substitutes for other symbols. When it forms a win, it expands to occupy the entire reel. Gamomat also offers Fancy Fruits as another fruit machine, and Pharao's Riches Golden Nights Bonus carries the same Golden Nights Bonus side bet.

Three gold chests before any jackpot

Pivotal to the game is the Golden Nights Bonus, an optional side bet activated via the Golden Nights switch. The switch adds an extra stake to each spin. Now, the jackpot draw begins if three gold chests appear in the random treasure chest feature. There, 5 multipliers charge a power bar that determines which of 7 jackpot tiers is won, and larger wagers deliver bigger multipliers. Any win can also be gambled, either on a ladder of prize steps with a stop button or on a card game where guessing the colour of the next card doubles it.

Minty’s Closing Thought: 39.3% came back over 480 spins against a stated 96.07%, and with no chest draw in the whole run, that figure belongs to the fruit alone. The jackpot side of the maths stayed sealed.

480 spins down to 2,903.28

Maaax Diamonds Golden Nights Bonus boasts everything I love to see in a slot - massive promise, multipliers, expanding wilds and a jackpot draw. I wagered 3,456.00 and won back 1,359.28, a session return of 39.3% that took the balance from 5,000.00 to 2,903.28. Don't let the traditional fruit vibe of this game trick you, however, as the volatility is medium-high and can be harsh to your bankroll.
