About Diamond Wins: Hold and Win
Playson’s Diamond Wins: Hold and Win is one of many games with this mechanic that you can expect to see in the online casino world right now. iSoftBet may have made the engine famous, but it does extend into other games, such as this one. Diamond Wins: Hold and Win is arguably one of the least thematic games to utilise this engine, though. It is essentially nothing more than a basic fruit machine. The medium to highly volatile slot is played over five reels and ten lines. You’ve got three jackpots you can win, but we hesitate to call them progressive jackpot prizes. What we will say about the game is that it has a fair RTP rate, is mobile optimised right down to the button selections, and you can definitely count on cheap stakes, with bets ranging from 0.10 up to 100.00 a turn.
Special Features
Diamond Wins: Hold and Win is played with wilds and bonus symbols in tow. The first of these is the famous red seven. This wild symbol can substitute for all symbols barring bonus icons. However, it is only going to crop up on the second, third, fourth and fifth reels of the Diamond Wins slot, though.
The bonus symbol appears as a blue diamond. Perhaps unfairly, you’re going to need at least six or more of these symbols to trigger a bonus round. Once you land the necessary number of symbols, the Hold and Win mechanic will kick into gear.
Save for those, the next best symbol to land is the famous “bell”. This symbol can be worth up to 10,000x a bet if you manage to land five of them on a line.
Bonus Feature
If you’ve played a Hold and Win slot before, you’ll already know everything you need to know about this mechanic. The game gives you three re-spins, during which only blue diamond symbols can appear on the reels. You are going to need to grab as many of these as you can on the reels during those re-spins. They may be jackpot icons or have cash prizes attached to them. At the end of this hold and win bonus, those players who have covered the reels with blue diamonds will win the non-progressive Grand Jackpot, which is worth 1,000x a bet. Landing smaller numbers of symbols will see the Major or Mini Jackpot paid out to bettors instead. Sometimes, none of these prizes will be dished out, with the player instead winning the sum of all the blue diamonds that appear on the reels.
