Book of Diamonds Reloaded - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The follow-up to the popular Book of Diamonds slot, Book of Diamonds Reloaded is Spinomenal’s much-anticipated sequel. With a generous RTP of 96.81 per cent and a five-reel, five-payline format, the game offers a solid playing experience. In addition to a diamond and a book, the symbols are classic - fruits, sevens, bells, bars - so you will see trusted and familiar graphics throughout. Top features include a buy option and free spins with special expanding symbols.

Theme & story

Despite the game title, the theme of this slot is more solidly focused on its traditional fruit machine symbols than any sort of magic exploration or adventure. The background, which is a moody dark brown, is illuminated with flashes of orange from shooting stars. The reels contain a lucky seven, diamond, book, bell, bar, plum, lemon, cherries, watermelon and orange. A funky 70s disco beat is the perfect soundtrack accompaniment to the game.

How to play Book of Diamonds Reloaded 

1. This game is supremely easy to play. Start by locating the per line function, which you will find to the lower left of the reels. Use the plus and minus buttons to select a bet per line of between 0.01 and 10.00. This will automatically be multiplied by five for your total bet.
2. Use the autospin function to the right of the spin button to start the automatic play mode. This will continue to spin until you hit the spin button to stop it.
3. If you prefer to feel a bit more in control, hit the large spin button below the reels manually for each spin. Remember that this enables you to adjust your bet for each spin. 
4. Use the buy feature function to play the free spins feature at any time (see bonus feature section below).

Book of Diamonds Reloaded bonus features

Scatter/wild

Spinomenal has made things really simple in this slot by combining the scatter and wild in one symbol. This means it will pay out for scattered wins, substitute symbols for payline wins, and trigger ten free spins for landing three or more times on the reels. 

Free spins with expanding symbol

Before the free spins feature, the player will be shown a single reel containing the medium winning symbols. This will spin once to reveal a symbol that will become the special expanding symbol for the feature. The free spins feature will now commence. After each reel spin has settled, the special symbol will expand, but only if expanding will add an additional win(s). Payouts will then be made for original line wins and new line wins based on the expanded symbol. After both payouts have been made, the next free spin will start. During free spins, the scatter/wild symbol continues to be in play and can award ten more free spins if it lands three or more times. The following ten free spins will be played with the same special expanding symbol.

Buy feature

Players don’t have to wait to land three scatter/wilds to trigger the free spins feature; instead, they can click the buy feature button - to the left of the spin button - to trigger it immediately. The cost of this ranges from 5.20 (for a bet per line of 0.05) to 5,200 (for a bet per line of 50.00).

Overall Book of Diamonds Reloaded review: our verdict

This game has smart, sharp graphics, an excellent soundtrack and benefits from a buy feature, making it perfect for those who are a little impatient. Although lacking in base game bonuses, the free spins round is improved by the addition of an expanding symbol feature. With a decent betting range and a good return, it is a solid slot game with familiar but vibrant graphics and easy-to-play functions.
