Reel Diamonds

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 7 March 2024

1×2 Gaming have another classic video slot release called Reel Diamonds. This is a medium variance slot with features consisting of 2 different scatters, expanding wilds and a top prize worth x3,100 your wager.

Slot details

This a 5 reel, 3 row slot with 10 paylines. It is playable across desktop, tablet and mobile devices from 10 per spin up to a maximum of £50 per spin.The semi-transparent reels sit on a starry background in various shades of blue with bright diamonds in the corners.The visuals are clear and sharp and you have a jazzy soundtrack accompanying you as you play.Symbols are lemons, plums, oranges, cherries, watermelons and grapes. The latter 2 are worth x5, x20 or x50 your wager for landing 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. The highest value symbol is the red lucky 7’s. Landing 3, 4 or 5 on a payline awards you with x10, x100 or x500 your wager respectively.

Gameplay

The wild symbol is the diamond and can only appear on the 2^nd-5^th reels. When it lands, it expands and fills the entire reel. If you are lucky, it is possible to land a wild on all reels in a single spin which gives you 4 wild reels.The gold star scatter symbols can only appear on the 1st, 3^rd and 5^th reels and are worth x10 your wager when you land 3 of them in view on a single spin.The silver star scatter is more valuable and can appear on any reel. 3, 4 or 5 of them in view will pay out x2.5, x25 and x50 your wager respectively.

Verdict

Reel Diamonds doesn’t offer anything new in the terms of gameplay, however the classic style of slots does appeal to many players. The addition of the expanding wilds and 2 different scatters options spice the game up, but I would have liked to have seen a free spins feature included. The maximum payout is pretty decent, so it is worth giving it a try.
