Diamond Multiplier Respins Review
Three-reel slots can seem a bit old hat these days, as developers keep falling over themselves to come up with something new. Yet there are still plenty of keen slot enthusiasts who enjoy playing simple and straightforward games with a limited number of reels and paylines.
If that sounds like you, Diamond Multiplier Respins could be your new favourite game, as we’ll explain.
Design
You won’t find any fruits on the reels of Diamond Multiplier Respins, but plenty of other classic symbols are available. The reels are filled with BAR symbols, which come as singles, doubles or three at a time. They’re joined by red and gold 7s and of course, the diamonds of the game’s title.
The symbols are bright and shiny, set against a black background so they really pop from the screen. The reels are set against a red, mirrored background which is constantly moving, adding a cool, modern vibe., which is aided by a synthesized backing track.
Gameplay
Even if this is your first-ever experience of playing an online slot, you’ll be able to get straight down to playing. Just decide how much to wager on each spin and you’re good to go! You’ll need to match up three symbols across at least one of the nine paylines to win a cash prize, and you can win multiple prizes from a single spin if the symbols land in your favour.
Blue diamond symbols are Wild, so they can substitute for any other icons except for the Free Spin Scatters. Land a Wild without achieving a win and you’ll be awarded one free respin with any Wilds held in place, giving you a second try for a cash payout.
Three free spin Scatters will activate the bonus round, awarding 10 free spins. The respin feature remains active throughout your free spins, so there could be even more chances to land yourself a cash prize.
Win potential
Single BAR icons are at the bottom of the paytable, followed by double BAR and triple BAR symbols. Gold 7s come next, followed by red 7s, with Diamond Wilds offering the best returns. Diamond Wilds on reels 1 and 3 always have an attached 2x multiplier, but this can increase up to 5x for Wilds on reel 2. This is the reel that also offers Stacked Wilds, greatly increasing your chances of landing a win.
Wins involving more than one Wild give your balance an ever bigger boost, as Wilds multiply against each other. Fill the screen with Wild multipliers and you could be lucky enough to land the top payout worth an impressive 22,530x the bet, although only a few players will manage to get that far in the game.
Diamond Multiplier Respins comes with a medium volatility rating, so you’ll need to take care with your bankroll if you want to play for a while. The RTP is a little disappointing though, as it comes in slightly below the average, so it could be worth exploring a few demo spins before you put your bankroll on the line.
Our Verdict
Light & Wonder has taken the classic three-reel slot and given it an upgrade with some interesting bonus features. We particularly liked the respins, which give extra chances to claim a prize if you’re not successful the first time around – although a cash payout still isn’t guaranteed. Free spins are always welcome too, as they give the chance to win something for nothing – and who wouldn’t want some of that?
If you’re not a fan of classic three-reel slot games, it’s doubtful whether Diamond Multiplier Respins will be the game to change your mind. But if you like a bit of retro slots action, this is a game with some serious winning potential, so it could be well worth taking for a spin.
