Diamond King Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

There is a reason people make epic journeys to view Africa’s great animals in their natural habitat. SpinPlay has tried to recreate some of this majesty on the five reels, adding a fourth row to the usual three. The 1,024 ways to win are exciting on their own, with a dazzling array of multipliers, free spins and jackpots helping to elevate the Diamond King Gold online slot even more. Like The Goonies Return slot, it is a worthy sequel to Diamond King Jackpots.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Diamonds, kings and gold? This sounds like a high-value slot. Diamond King Gold is a generic title amongst online slots and you might expect the symbols to be all gems. If so, you will be surprised to step onto the grassy plains of an African safari, with drums and jungle melody playing.

It is a beautiful natural world of vivid greens and bright blues. The transparent reels mean you can appreciate every inch of the sweeping background. Then, of course, there are the animals: elephants, zebras, rhinos and meerkats, each with a surprising amount of detail. Biggest and most glorious of all, the king of the Diamond King Gold slot is the lion. He sits beside the reels, his magnificent mane practically glowing.

Diamond King Gold RTP and variance

You might think the returns don’t matter in free casino slots. It is true you won’t pocket any cash - or, more importantly, lose any - but it is nice to feel you are winning. This means the 96.44 per cent RTP, which is more than solid for modern online slots, is welcome.

Adding to the unpredictable nature is the high variance. This makes it a lot harder to find winning combinations, although it can lead to bigger payouts.

How to play Diamond King Gold

Can you find the iconic animals?

1. There is a poker chip on the left, which is the bet button. Use the plus and minus signs to adjust your wager. 
2. If you move to the right, there is a menu button containing both mute and a link to the paytable. In online slots, this shows you the value of each symbol.
3. More info is available on the help page.
4. Another menu can be found in the tab above the spin button. This includes a lightning bolt for turbo mode and links to the autoplay settings, complete with limits.
5. Playing free casino slots with limits gets you into good habits, such as not chasing losses. Timeout and self-exclusion functions are available to promote responsible gaming.

Bet & win sizes

There is a 0.25 minimum bet and a 25.00 maximum bet.

As your bet changes, so the displays on the paytable change. The biggest prizes are for combinations of five, with the minimum wager paying:

Multipliers

You may have noticed a small box covering the central positions on the reels, which is the power range. When diamond wilds land in there, they gain a 2x multiplier. Sometimes, it randomly turns into the roar feature, growing to fully cover the central three reels with multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x.

Free spins

• 3 bonus symbols = 10 free spins
• 4 bonus symbols = 15 free spins
• 5 bonus symbols = 20 free spins

You can retrigger the same number of spins with the same number of symbols. You can also win five additional spins for just two symbols during the round. The roar feature will be constantly active in the free spins. You will also have the chance to collect gold lions, which can transform lower-paying animal symbols into lions.

Buy feature

Another way to trigger free spins is the buy feature: 

• Green wheel = 100x bet = up to 20 free spins and 4 gold lions.
• Blue wheel = 200x bet = up to 25 free spins and 6 gold lions.
• Red wheel = 500x bet = 35 free spins and 8 gold lions.

Diamond jackpot

Every wild contributes to the diamond meter. Power range wilds also add their multipliers. Once the meter is full, you enter the diamond jackpot feature whereby three identical gems will award you the equivalent of the four possible jackpots.

Diamond King Gold review: our verdict

As we approach the end of our Diamond King Gold slot review, it is fair to say it is not what we expected. The title is technically accurate - you collect diamonds and there is a king in the form of the lion - but it doesn’t convey the glories of the safari. The distinctive power range is an unusual way to add multipliers, and there is depth to the free spins and jackpots. This is a very interesting SpinPlay Games free slot.
