Diamond Mine 2 Megaways Slot Review

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways: Slot Overview

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways is Blueprint Gaming’s return to the dust and dynamite of its classic mining slot, this time with a sharper coat of paint and a few extra moving parts. You still get a 6‑reel Megaways setup with a horizontal tracker reel on top, cascades after every win, and that cheeky prospector cheering you on in front of a bright desert mine entrance and a twangy banjo soundtrack.

Stakes run from 0.10 up to 10 per spin, so it suits both testing the waters and grinding proper bonus hunts. The default RTP sits at 95% whether you use the standard bet, the extra bet or pay for the Feature Buy. Volatility leans high, with a theoretical max win of 10,000x your bet, and in my sessions the game swung hard enough to feel every part of that profile.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways Base Game and Features

The paytable in Diamond Mine 2 Megaways sticks closely to the original line‑up. Low pays are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, giving around 1x to 1.5x your bet for six of a kind. Premiums are shovels, lanterns, the bearded miner and the big diamond. Six premiums pay between 2x and 50x, and the diamond pays from just two symbols, so a screen full of those is where the real money lives.

The main grid has 6 reels with 2 to 7 symbols each, plus a horizontal reel above reels 2 to 5. Symbol heights change every spin, giving up to 117,649 ways to win. Wins pay from left to right with at least three matching symbols, or two diamonds. Every win triggers a cascade: winning symbols vanish, new symbols drop in, and the top reel slides symbols sideways, which can chain together some nice base‑game strings.

Wilds are dynamite symbols that appear only on the top reel, substituting for everything except scatters. There is also an extra bet that raises your stake by 20% and bumps up the chance of triggering the bonus. I found the base game reasonably active, with mystery TNT barrels and frequent small cascades keeping the balance ticking while you chase those more explosive mining runs in the features.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways: Slot Features

Feature‑wise, Diamond Mine 2 Megaways packs in most of what you’d expect from a modern Megaways slot. You get Cascading Symbols, the full Megaways engine, dynamite Wilds, TNT Mystery Symbols, an Extra Bet toggle, Scatter Symbols, a Free Spins Gamble, classic Free Spins, the new Gold Spins mode, and a Bonus Buy option in some jurisdictions. In practice that mix creates punchy, swingy gameplay with plenty of decision points for bonus hunters.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways Free Spins

Landing three or more gold scatter symbols in the base game triggers the main bonus. At that point you choose between regular Free Spins or Gold Spins. With 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters you get 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 Free Spins, or a Golden Guarantee of x5, x7, x9, x12 or x15 for Gold Spins. In the base game scatters appear on the main reels only; in bonuses they sit on the top reel instead.

Before regular Free Spins begin, you can gamble your awarded spins on a wheel for up to 30. Winning moves you up the ladder, losing drops you down to a lower step, so there is proper risk attached. In standard Free Spins an unlimited win multiplier starts at x1 and rises by +1 after each cascade. Extra scatters on the top reel give +5 or +10 spins for 3 or 4 symbols, and good runs feel very close to the original game at its best.

Gold Spins change the rhythm. Instead of a fixed spin count, you start with that Golden Guarantee multiplier between x5 and x15. The win multiplier begins at x1 and climbs by +1 after every reaction, and the feature only stops once the multiplier reaches the current guarantee. Special scatters on the top reel lift the Golden Guarantee by +1 each time. I’ve had Gold Spins rounds end painfully fast at low values, and others grind upwards in tense fashion.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways: Bonus Buy

Outside the UK you can shortcut straight into the action with a 100x Bonus Buy, which guarantees at least three scatters and immediate entry to the bonus selector. From there you still choose between Free Spins and Gold Spins, so you can tailor the gamble to your mood. I mainly used the buy feature when testing, and found the RTP figure stayed at 95%, with results swinging hard either side of the stake over a block of buys.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways: Our Verdict

As someone who put a lot of spins into the original, Diamond Mine 2 Megaways feels like a polished revisit rather than a radical overhaul. The graphics are crisper, the audio is brighter, and the extra choices around Gold Spins, the gamble wheel and the Extra Bet give you more control over how aggressive you want to be. On the flip side, the 95% RTP sits lower than many newer releases, so long sessions do bite when the game runs cold.

For me, the highlight is that Gold Spins mode. Knowing the feature will keep going until you hit the Golden Guarantee multiplier adds a different kind of tension compared with open‑ended Free Spins. When the guarantee climbs thanks to extra scatters and the multiplier edges up through double figures, the slot feels electric. Diamond Mine 2 Megaways doesn’t try to reinvent what worked, but as a modernised Megaways miner with a twist, it still has plenty of life.
