Online gambling has seen a resurgence of interest in three-reel slots. Leading developers continue to release new releases of this type, sometimes surprising users with an unconventional approach and design delights.
Microgaming also follows the popular trend. The studio presented a model of Diamond Empire diamonds and other precious stones. The large number of lines, special symbols and bonuses do not allow you to consider it a classic slot machine, but we think it will be interesting even zealous guardians of the purity of the genre.
Let’s list the main advantages and disadvantages of the slot.
Pros: large payouts, tempting bonus round, jokers with multipliers;
Cons: Uncomfortable help section.
Gameplay and Paylines
The Diamond Empire video slot consists of three reels. There are fifteen active strips. Their number cannot be changed.
There are nine cells on the screen for symbols. The icons in the columns alternate with spaces, so no more than six pictures appear at a time.
The line takes up to ten coins worth one, two, five or ten cents. The total amount at stake is between fifteen cents and fifteen dollars.
The game involves basic icons, jokers, scatters, extra multipliers and bonus rounds.
Regular pictures form payable combinations only on the strips. A chain is formed by three identical elements. Winning sequences can be several in one spin.
When calculating the payout, the line bet is multiplied by the coefficient of the resulting combination (from x5 to x10000). Exceptions to the rules are discussed below.
Special symbols
Single, double and triple BARs, cherries and sevens – these symbols form chains according to the rules described above. Any three BARs are paid at special odds.
There are also special symbols on the reels:
• Wild (diamonds) is the joker. It itself forms a combination with the maximum odds and substitutes for simple icons. If one Wild completes the chain of other elements, the payout is doubled. Two Jokers in a sequence quadruples the odds.
• Bonus (reel with sectors) is a scatter. Three of these items in any position qualify for the bonus round.
Bonus games
Next, more about the additional prizes:
• Wheel Bonus – The Wheel of Fortune appears on top of the main screen. Its sectors show multipliers of up to x888. Spin the reel to find out how much you’re entitled to. It will be multiplied by the total bet.
