Diamond Cherries (Rival Gaming) Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Take a trip down memory lane to a time when you sat in a bricks and mortar casino, leaving fingerprints on the shiny chrome of your favourite machine. In the background, jazzy electronic music plays as you wait for the reels to bump into place. These are the thoughts that this Rival Gaming slot provokes.

With just a single payline and 3 reels this is a classic-themed slot that fans of the simple things in life really will enjoy. Some of Rival’s retro games don’t have any bonus features at all but this one does have some wilds and scatters and there is a chance to win a maximum prize of 2,500 coins if you bet the maximum allowed.

Diamond Cherries Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This is a simple game with no animations or fancy graphics. What it does have feels sharp and clean, however, in the way that the ‘grown up’ slots in casinos seemed all those years ago. The twanging soundtrack and no-frills gameplay does feel decidedly mature - both in the style of the slot and the type of player it is most likely to appeal to. Novices may also enjoy the simplicity and classic theme of the game, while average players may enjoy the memory boost, but only for a relatively short amount of time. If you like the diamond-theme, you may also enjoy the Da Vinci Diamonds demo slot.

Diamond Cherries RTP and Variance

Rival Gaming slots often have quite poor return to player averages and this one is certainly nothing to write home about. The RTP is 94.57%, which is significantly below many other games.

It is hard to find out what the official variance level of this slot should be. When we played, however, it acted like a medium volatility game, offering fairly regular average-sized wins. Try it for yourself and see what you think but, remember, no wins can ever be guaranteed when playing these spinning games of chance.

How to Play Diamond Cherries

The fact that this choice of slot is so simple means that it is definitely an easy one to play. Handy hints can still be 
helpful, however, and so here are a few:

1. Set your stake and decide if you want to make use of the autoplay function which allows the reels to spin automatically.
2. Choose how many coins you want to play, from 1 to 3.
3. Decide how much you want each coin to be worth. The lowest possible coin value is 0.01 and the maximum is 10.00.
4. You can use the max bet button to easily opt to play the largest stake possible. The biggest maximum bet allowed is 30.00 credits per spin.
5. Remember to always play responsibly, and when the fun stops, stop!

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Bets in this game on based on how many coins you want to play and how much you want these coins to be worth. Coins can be valued between 0.01 and 10.00 and you can choose to play 1, 2 or 3 coins. This means that the betting range starts at 0.01 per spin and rises to a maximum of 30.00.

All wins are paid out from left to right for matching symbols on consecutive reels. You will notice in this game that sometimes symbols do not actually land on the payline. Unless they are the diamond scatter symbol, they must be on the payline to qualify for a win.

Wins in this game with a classic slot theme are based on the symbols and how many coins you choose to play. Here is what you could win:

Diamond Cherries Review

This is a nice-looking slot, despite the fact it isn’t packed with fancy graphics or advanced animations. This is a sleek and simple game that would not feel out of place in a traditional, high-end casino. Just looking at it makes you think of twinkling spotlights, plush red velvets and lots and lots of shiny chrome. It offers a pleasant journey down memory lane and, if you were a fan of the traditional Bar-based slots, then this game may be a good choice for you.

To add to the appeal there are a couple of bonus features that you wouldn’t have found in the original land-based games, such as the wilds and multipliers. The problem is that the RTP of this game is quite low and so you may not receive quite as many wins as you would like. It may also fail to offer any long-term appeal due to the fact that it is such a simple game.
