RTP and Symbols
The payback rate or the RTP of Diamond Mines is 95.68%. That said, you can decide the RTP you want to play with. For example, the fewer bombs you select the higher the RTP.
The more bombs the lower the RTP. If you play smart you can get the game’s RTP up to 98%. Finally, the symbols on the grid are Diamonds and Bombs.
Bonus Rounds
Diamond Mines slot has no special features. You’ll encounter a 5×5 grid with 24 positions on it. Highlight the cells you want to play with, and hope for the best.
Moreover, you’ll receive a multiplier gem that increases with every correct guess. You can also select the Auto Play feature by choosing your average stake, number of plays, and mines. The coin betting range starts at 10 cents to $100 per spin.
Tips and Strategy
This is by no means a passive slot and to win money, you’ll have to go gung ho. More to the point, risk it but stay within your budget.
The game multiplies your winnings by the current multiplier at the end of each round. But if you hit a mine, the round ends instantly, and you lose everything.
Furthermore, it’s not the type of slot that’s bonus-friendly but you can play it with one. If you want to play for longer sessions, I suggest you keep those bombs to a minimum.
Before you deposit, test it with free credits at the online casino or on Betsoft’s website. A betting range that worked well for me was $100 with a specific strategy.
Note that the betting range is proportionate to the multiplier’s size. The more you wager the higher the multiplier win.
How to Play
Here’s the strategy that worked well for me with an average stake of $100 and 1 Bomb. It’s up to you to decide how much you want to risk.
- In the first top row highlight cells 1, 4, and 5.
- Highlight all the cells in the second row.
- In the third row, highlight cells 2 and 3.
- Leave the 4th row blank.
- For the fifth and final row, choose cells 1 and 2.
I also chose 10 spin intervals via Auto Play, which cost $100 per spin, and 1 Mine. Once you’re ready to play click “Start Auto”. What I like about this slot is that you can play it for hours if you pick a single bomb.
Formulating a strategy is easy since you can mix and match different cells. Once the slot goes live on the 27th of March wait a few days before you play it. Contact the casino and ask them if it paid out big, and ask them for a free chip.
Conclusion
Betsoft veers off the beaten track with Diamond Mines since it’s not a conventional slot machine. It’s an interesting concept nonetheless but strictly for fans.
It gives you a lot of leeway regarding volatility, RTP, multiplier size, and payouts. I have to be honest by saying it’s not a game I’d play again to win money.
Monotony sets in quickly and it’s a budget killer if you play with plenty of bombs. The strategy I used also doesn’t guarantee a win every time. I strongly advise you to use it with discretion.
Test it for at least 100 spins and take notes as you play. I only mentioned it because the number of bombs I got after 30 spins was 5, so 25 winning spins. In the grander scheme of things, that’s good.
To get back into the swing of things, play Qora Games’ Riches of Medusa. The theme will rope in fans of Greek mythology, and it offers Free Spins with 50x Multipliers. The jackpot of 10,000x will blow smoke up any high roller’s skirt.
