Diamonds Up Slot Review

Diamonds Up Slot Overview

Diamonds Up slot from Red Tiger Gaming takes a simple fruit machine frame and adds a neat progression system. The reels are packed with cherries, plums, oranges and other classic icons, but the real hook lies in the Diamond Wild symbols and their Symbol Upgrade Ladder. Every batch of spins works as a short campaign where you try to push those upgrades, strip out weaker fruit and chase stronger symbol sets.

Diamonds Up runs on a 5x3 layout with 25 fixed paylines paying left to right from reel one. Stakes start at 0.10 and cap at 4 per spin, so it sits in a low to mid staking bracket. The default RTP sits at 95.69%, with alternative settings down to 90.78%. Volatility leans high, hit rate is quoted at 47.85%, and the stated max win reaches 20,000 times the bet.

Diamonds Up Slot Information

Visually, Diamonds Up keeps things bright but fairly plain, with a blue and purple backdrop dotted with circles behind the reels. The logo sits above the grid in neon style colours, while the pink Symbol Upgrade Ladder hugs the right side. It feels like a tidy modern take on a fruit cabinet, helped by a cheery soundtrack that loops away in the background without getting too intrusive during longer sessions.

The paytable in Diamonds Up sticks to classic fruit slot logic. Watermelons, grapes, oranges, plums and cherries form the lower tier, each paying 2 times your bet for 5 on a line. Bars, horseshoes, bells and sevens make up the premium set, worth 4 to 40 times the bet for 5 of a kind. Lines pay from left to right, and Diamond Wilds replace regular symbols, but not the scatter icon, to help complete wins.

Diamonds Up Slot Features

In Diamonds Up, the Diamond Wild does far more than simple substitution. These symbols only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, but every time they appear they feed the Symbol Upgrade Ladder on the right. Each wild feels like a small step in a longer plan, so even empty-looking spins can matter as you edge towards clearing out those cheap fruit symbols from the reel set.

The game runs in 30 spin cycles, tracked by a counter above the reels. As Diamond Wilds land, they fill the three steps on each ladder level, starting from the lowest symbol. When a level is completed, all symbols below it on the paytable are upgraded to match that symbol. The effect is that the reel set sheds weaker icons over time, giving you lines packed with mid and high payers.

I found those 30 spin batches give Diamonds Up a nice sense of momentum. You are often watching the ladder as much as the reels, hoping for the last wild or two needed to clear another fruit rank. When it comes together, upgraded boards can deliver screens packed with bars, bells or sevens. Full lines of sevens add up fast, and the maths claims a cap of 20,000x per spin.

Free Spins in Diamonds Up trigger when 3, 4 or 5 scatters land, giving 9, 12 or 20 spins plus scatter pays of 5x, 20x or 100x stake. Symbol upgrades stay active, and Diamond Wilds keep climbing the ladder just as in the base game. Free Spins can retrigger, and when the round ends ladder state flows back into the base cycle. Feature Buy lets you purchase Free Spins at 20x, 120x, 200x or 800x from higher ladder levels.

Diamonds Up: Slot Verdict

As fruit slots go, Diamonds Up lands in that pleasant middle ground between pure nostalgia and more involved play. The theme is about as standard as they come, yet the 30 spin cycle and Symbol Upgrade Ladder keep things from feeling flat. I liked watching boards turn from messy fruit salads into screens loaded with bars, bells and sevens when the upgrades finally lined up.

For me, Diamonds Up works best for players who enjoy building towards something rather than living and dying with every single spin. The high volatility, capped stakes and optional Feature Buy mean it suits longer grinding sessions more than quick hit hunting. If you like retro slots but want meaningful progression, the 20,000x top end and ladder mechanic make this one worth a proper look.
