Gold Collector: Diamond Edition Slot Review

Gold Collector: Diamond Edition Slot Overview

Gold Collector: Diamond Edition takes the mining theme from the original release and ramps up the action with harder hitting features. The reels sit at the mouth of a mine shaft, with wooden jackpot signs on the left and the track vanishing into the dark. The presentation is quite simple, which I do not mind, because the real focus here is on jackpots, exploding rocks, and steady Link&Win action.

The game runs on a 5 reel, 4 row layout with 50 fixed paylines and plays from 0.10 up to 40 per spin. It is a highly volatile slot, so the balance can swing about while you chase the bigger prizes. The default RTP sits at 96.40 percent, and the max win is quoted up to 6355 times the bet, helped by reel jackpots and the 5000 times Diamond Jackpot.

Symbols and Paytable in Gold Collector: Diamond Edition

The low paying symbols are the usual 10, J, Q, K and A. They all share the same values, starting at 0.20 times the stake for two of a kind and climbing to 2 times the bet for a full line of five. Premium symbols are a shovel, pickaxe, lantern, wagon piled with ore, and the white bearded prospector holding a diamond. Five premiums pay between 5 and 15 times your stake.

The wild symbol is a wooden plank with the word WILD in gold, landing only on reels two, three and four. It substitutes for all regular pay symbols, but not scatters, coins or diamonds. Dynamite scatters on the three centre reels trigger free spins. Gold coins and diamond symbols carry random cash values, yet their amounts only come into play during the Link&Win feature and the free spins round, not through normal line wins.

RTP, Volatility and Jackpots in Gold Collector: Diamond Edition

Gold Collector: Diamond Edition is very much a high risk, high reward slot. The standard RTP is 96.40 percent, although some operators use lower tables, with figures like 94.25 percent mentioned, so I always check the help screen before I start. Regular single spin wins can reach around 750 times the bet, while reel jackpots range from 10 to 1000 times, and the Diamond Jackpot pays 5000 times, pushing the overall potential above 5000 times stake.

Link&Win Feature in Gold Collector: Diamond Edition

Link&Win triggers whenever three or more coin and or diamond symbols land in view during the base game. All other symbols vanish, leaving only the triggering money symbols on the grid. Each reel has its own respin counter starting at three. On every spin, only blanks, coins or diamonds can land. Coins reset the counter for their reel back to three, while diamonds are stronger, resetting all five reel counters at once.

Every coin and diamond that lands stays sticky until the feature ends, either when all reel counters hit zero or when the grid fills completely. Filling a reel with money symbols awards the jackpot displayed above that reel, from Mini up to Grand. Landing at least one diamond on each reel pays the Diamond Jackpot of 5000 times your stake. The combined cash values on all coins and diamonds are then added on top of any jackpot wins.

Free Spins Bonus in Gold Collector: Diamond Edition

Three dynamite scatter symbols on the middle reels award 10 free spins in Gold Collector: Diamond Edition. During this bonus, every reel position starts covered by solid rock. Special dynamite barrel symbols blast away the rock they land on, revealing either a gold coin or a diamond, each showing a cash amount that gets stored above the reel. Every diamond found here also grants one extra free spin, stretching the round nicely when the game feels kind.

If a dynamite barrel lands where the rock has already been removed, it can drop a TNT plunger symbol. The plunger blows up between two and five extra rock positions, again revealing coins or diamonds. When all rock positions on a reel have been cleared, the jackpot linked to that reel pays out. Reel one gives the Mini at 10 times bet, then Minor 20 times, Maxi 50 times, Major 100 times, and Grand 1000 times on reel five.

The Diamond Jackpot of 5000 times your stake is also on the table during free spins. Hit at least one diamond on every reel and the top prize lands, regardless of which rocks are left. I like how the mode mirrors the digging theme, with each explosion feeling like real progress. The constant choice between extra spins from diamonds and jackpots from cleared reels keeps the tension high right to the last blast.

200 Spins Session on Gold Collector: Diamond Edition

Across a test run of around 200 spins I found Gold Collector: Diamond Edition to be quite punchy. The base game can feel quiet for stretches, but the knowledge that five diamonds on a single spin can drop the 5000 times jackpot in one shot keeps every spin interesting. Link&Win appeared regularly enough to stop the balance going stale, while free spins were rarer, yet lively once the barrels and plungers started chaining together.

Review Summary for Gold Collector: Diamond Edition

For me, Gold Collector: Diamond Edition fixes most of what felt underpowered in the earlier outing. The graphics stay fairly simple, which some players will enjoy, but the gameplay is much sharper. Higher volatility, reel specific jackpots and a stronger top win make it worth the grind. Being able to land the Diamond Jackpot in the base game, Link&Win and free spins means the top prize never feels far from reach.

Exploding rocks in the bonus to dig out coins and diamonds works well with the mining story and gives free spins a nice sense of progression. I also rate the Link&Win variant here, with the individual reel counters adding an extra layer of sweat to every respin. You do need a prepared bankroll for the swings, yet the mix of jackpots and feature frequency makes Gold Collector: Diamond Edition a slot I am happy to return to.
