Burning Diamonds Slot Review

Burning Diamonds Slot - Introduction & Game Overview

Burning Diamonds from Kalamba Games is a 5 reel, 4 row slot with 40 always-on paylines, aimed at players who enjoy classic style games with modern extras. I get a mix of wild multipliers, free spins and four fixed Bonus Jackpots, plus the HyperBet and HyperBonus options that let me shape the volatility. Under the simple fruit and 7s skin, it is a high-risk, high-reward machine with a very punchy max win.

From my sessions, the game feels straightforward to play. I set my bet, pick a multiplier level with HyperBet if I want, then spin and chase diamonds, jackpot icons and bonus symbols. On the upside, there are win multipliers on each bet level, a wide betting range and a generous number of free spins possible. On the downside, graphics and audio are plain, and there is no real storyline.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack in Burning Diamonds

The theme in Burning Diamonds sticks to a classic slot machine layout, with burning diamonds, stacks of 7s and fruit symbols filling the reels. There is no narrative layer; it is all about spinning and hitting numbers. Visually, it has a retro feel rather than a polished modern look, though win and bonus animations add some life. The soundtrack and effects are pleasant but not especially memorable, with basic controls to switch them on or off.

Burning Diamonds RTP, Variance and Win Potential

Burning Diamonds runs at a long-term average RTP of 97.21%, which is comfortably above many video slots. Volatility is high, so the game can go quiet for stretches before dropping heavier hits. That nature really shows in the free spins, especially when combined with wild multipliers and jackpot hits. One recorded session produced over 5,100 times stake, with a player landing the Platinum Jackpot worth 5,000x alongside another jackpot win.

Four accumulating Bonus Jackpots sit beside the reels, with higher tiers needing more jackpot symbols on screen, right up to 14 symbols for the Platinum prize. The base game does not cap you outside those displayed values, so the headline top win of 5,000x your bet is always in view. With such swingy maths, I treat Burning Diamonds as a game for disciplined bankrolls and always play Burning Diamonds responsibly by setting a firm session budget.

Symbols and Paytable in Burning Diamonds

The titular burning diamond is the top regular symbol in Burning Diamonds. Hitting five diamonds on a payline pays 40x the total bet, which is sizeable for a line win. Next in line is the golden seven paying 6x your total bet for five of a kind. Sets of coloured sevens pay a little less, with five red, blue or green sevens paying between 5x and 3x your total bet, depending on colour.

Lower down the paytable are the fruit symbols, which pay between 1.5x and 1x the line bet for five of a kind. With all 40 paylines permanently active, I often see several smaller fruit and 7s wins land together on a single spin. Jackpot symbols are separate from these standard icons. Hitting 7 or more on the reels awards one of the four jackpots, with the current values displayed neatly to the right of the grid.

Wild symbols in Burning Diamonds appear with built-in win multipliers, so any line they complete gets increased by the value shown on the wild. Bonus symbols trigger free spins, while special accumulator symbols in the feature add more spins. When I first try any game like this, I always open the paytable via the settings cog, tapping the info button. That screen explains symbol values, jackpot thresholds and how HyperBet changes the maths.

Bonus Features in Burning Diamonds

The main feature in Burning Diamonds is the free spins bonus. Landing 3 bonus symbols in view triggers the round, and the number of starting free spins depends on the HyperBet multiplier level chosen before the spin. At the highest 5x level, up to 15 initial free spins are on offer. During the feature, bonus accumulator symbols become important: collecting one adds 3 extra free spins, extending the round when it is going well.

Wilds during both base game and free spins carry win multipliers, so any combination they help to complete gets multiplied by the figure on the wild. HyperBet sits to the side of the reels and lets me trade stake for stronger multipliers and more free spins potential on every spin. For those who like buying instant bonuses, the HyperBonus option lets you pay extra to jump straight into a free spins round at a chosen level.

Bonus Buy Feature

Free Spins You can buy 5, 8, 12, 15 free spins with multipliers of 1x, 2x, 3x and 5x respectively, at a price of 38.60x the bet.

Burning Diamonds Review - My Verdict

For me, Burning Diamonds is a straightforward but punchy high volatility slot that hides serious power behind old-school symbols. The biggest decision is usually which multiplier level to pick, rather than how to play the reels. Graphics and sound are workmanlike, which suits players who are not chasing flashy presentation. If you like classic fruit and 7s gameplay, but want big jackpots, multipliers and a very strong RTP, this one is worth a proper session.
