Diggin’ For Diamonds Slot Review

Diggin’ For Diamonds Slot Game Overview

Diggin’ For Diamonds is a 6 reel, 5 row video slot from Jelly that throws you straight into a dusty frontier mine. The grid doubles as the entrance to the shaft, framed by wooden beams and rocks, while a trolley loaded with dynamite waits at the side. A bearded prospector keeps you company, and the twangy banjo soundtrack sets a laid back Wild West mood that grew on me after a few sessions.

Under the hood, Diggin’ For Diamonds uses an 8 plus of a kind pays anywhere system, so you are never worrying about paylines. Any spin that hits 8 matching symbols or more triggers a tumble, clearing winners and dropping new icons into view. On paper you get a 95.1 percent RTP, high volatility, a 5,000 times bet cap and a hit rate around 28 percent, which suits bonus hunters like me.

Symbols and Payouts in Diggin’ For Diamonds

In Diggin’ For Diamonds the symbols pay anywhere, as long as at least 8 matching icons land on the 6 by 5 grid in one spin. Wins scale as more symbols join the cluster, with the best returns coming from 12 or more of a kind. Every prize is tied directly to your chosen stake, so stepping your bet up or down reshapes the numbers across the entire paytable.

The lower tier in Diggin’ For Diamonds is made up of five coloured gems in gold frames. For 8 or more of a kind, the blue, green, yellow, purple and red stones award up to 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times your bet, while landing 12 plus of a symbol pushes those prizes higher. When I play, these gem hits keep the balance ticking over between feature bursts.

The premium set in Diggin’ For Diamonds features a drill, a lantern, a mining cart and a hard hat bird. From 8 symbols up they can reach 12, 15, 25 and 50 times stake, and lining up 12 or more creates the slot’s punchiest base game hits. There is no wild symbol at all, so the bearded miner scatter and the special diamond multiplier icon carry most of the excitement for me.

Bonus Features in Diggin’ For Diamonds

Every winning spin in Diggin’ For Diamonds kicks off the tumble feature, clearing paying symbols and dropping new ones from above. The same stake stays in play while the sequence continues, so long chains can appear from a single buy in. Multiplier symbols drop randomly in both base play and free spins, taking random values between 2 times and 100 times, with all active multipliers added together before they apply to the tumble total.

Free spins in Diggin’ For Diamonds arrive when 4, 5 or 6 miner scatters land anywhere, awarding 12, 15 or 18 spins. During the bonus, every multiplier symbol feeds a persistent total multiplier that sticks for the whole round, while 3 or more scatters add 4 extra spins. You also get a Loss to Win modifier, a Gold Bet that raises the stake by 25 percent, and two Bonus Buy options for direct entry.

How to Win at Diggin’ For Diamonds Slot

Winning in Diggin’ For Diamonds is all about hitting clusters of 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the board and then riding the tumbles and multipliers. I set my stake from 20p upwards, spin or use autoplay, and let the game handle the cascades. Checking the rules and paytable first helps, and running a few test sessions in free play is a sensible way to see how the features behave.

Diggin’ For Diamonds RTP and Volatility

From a numbers angle, Diggin’ For Diamonds sits in the high volatility category, with stretches of dry spins punctuated by bursts of action when tumbles and multipliers line up. The headline RTP is 95.1 percent, though Jelly have produced lower settings too, dropping to 94, 90.5 or even 86 percent in some markets. That gap makes checking the information panel at your chosen casino a regular part of my routine.

Hit frequency in Diggin’ For Diamonds hovers a touch above one in four spins, helped by the tumbling system counting every chain as a single paid round. With a maximum win of 5,000 times stake, the top end is attractive without being outrageous. I treat it as a slot where you chase fewer but larger payouts, so I stick to stakes that keep my bankroll comfortable through the inevitable swings.

Final Thoughts on Diggin’ For Diamonds

After a fair amount of time with Diggin’ For Diamonds, I see it as a solid mining slot rather than a game changer. The visuals feel familiar, yet the artwork and animation are polished enough to carry the theme, with the prospector adding a bit of charm. Feature wise it leans heavily on tumbles, random multipliers and the Loss to Win modifier to keep spin sequences interesting between free spins rounds.

Where Diggin’ For Diamonds really works for me is as a straightforward high variance multiplier slot for players who enjoy bonus hunts and swingy sessions. The 5,000 times cap and modest RTP will put off anyone chasing ultra long term value, and the theme has been used many times elsewhere. Even so, when the total multiplier ramps up in free spins, the game still delivers that tense, gold rush style thrill.
