Striking Diamond Link Slot Review

I’m feeling particularly creative today, so I thought I’d write a song about our latest game, Striking Diamond Link slot from Fugaso. Here goes.

"Diamond Strike"

Intro:
(Mysterious, rhythmic beat)

Verse 1:
Hidden deep in earth's embrace
A treasure formed, a precious grace
Under pressure, fire's art
A diamond born, a work of heart

Chorus:
Strike the stone, let brilliance shine
A masterpiece, a cosmic sign
Facetted glory, pure and bright
Diamond's dance, a dazzling light

Bridge:
Carved by time, a gem untold
Stories whispered, secrets hold
With every cut, a spark is freed
A diamond's soul, a precious seed

Take that, Simon and Garfunkel!

Gameplay

This is a laser-focused game; there’s no fluff happening design-wise, and not much happening in the base game. Your objective is to get to the features pronto so you can make lots of money.

The Wild replaces all symbols that aren’t Bonus symbols or Super Bonus Diamonds, and five Bell/Bars pay 50x, five Grapes/Watermelons pay 25x, and five Cherries/Lemons/Plums/Oranges pay 10x.

Striking Diamond Link slot offers 5 paylines, a 96% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., and a high volatility rate. The latter means you could scoop up a $200,000 payday, thanks to the extremely generous 10,000x max multiplier. The only currency you can’t play with is the yen.

Features

RUNNING WINS (HOLD AND WIN):

You’ll trigger this feature when you nail 6+ Bonus symbols, or 5 Bonus symbols plus a Super Bonus Diamond. You get 3 re-spins to play with, and only the aforementioned symbols – along with Jackpot symbols – will grace the reels.

The Jackpots pay as follows: the Mini pays 25, the Minor pays 50x, the Major pays 150x, and the Grand pays 5,000x your bet.

You’ll play until your spins have run out, or until you fill all of the grid positions – in the latter case, that means you’ve won the Grand Jackpot.

Coin Link:

Whenever a Super Bonus Diamond lands during the feature, it will collect the values of the displayed symbols, including any Jackpots.

LUCKY RICHES:

The Lucky Riches feature can randomly pop off whenever a Bonus or Super Bonus symbol hits the reels during the base game. The upshot is that the requisite number of Bonus or Super Bonus symbols needed to initiate the Running Wins round will be added to the grid.

Performance

Safari, Chrome, multiple devices – the game handled all of these with consummate ease.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.20 and is capped at $20. You can win $200,000 when combining the largest bet with the 10,000x max multiplier.

Conclusion

OK, now that we’ve covered how the game works, what makes it different from its predecessor, Striking Diamond: Running Wins slot?

Well, for starters, the largest Jackpot on that game only pays a grand (the other amounts are identical to our current version).

It has a Boost feature, which works the same way as the Coin Link does, and there are the Running Wins and Lucky Riches features you now know all about.

As far as I can tell, only the Jackpot amount has changed. One could argue that this isn’t much of an incentive, but for those who nail that extra four grand, it’ll be well worth it.
