Holy Diver Slot Review

Holy Diver Megaways is a Mediaeval-themed online slot from Big Time Gaming. The slot offers a wide range of bonus features that include extra wilds, multipliers and free spins.

Theme and Graphics

Unless you are a fairly hard-core heavy metal fan, you might not be aware of the Holy Diver song released by Dio in the early 1980s.

The band took its name from its lead singer and founding member, Ronnie James Dio, who had previously performed with Rainbow and had more recently replaced Ozzie Osbourne in Black Sabbath.

Holy Diver was Dio’s biggest and best-known single, with the performer claiming that the song’s lyrics were about a religious leader who was prepared to die to save the souls of his followers, constantly heading for new worlds where he could spread his message of salvation.

Great Attention to Detail

Once you understand the background to the Holy Diver song, the slots game based loosely around the lyrics starts to make a little more sense.

When you land the Free Spins bonus round of the game, it all becomes even clearer, as the soundtrack to the song accompanies the on-screen action to great effect.

The song’s official video features Dio himself dressed as a mediaeval warrior. This is reflected in the theme of the slots game; however, the art department has taken a few liberties to create the graphics, primarily by giving the game’s hero a rather smart suit of armour and creating a succession of luxurious gem symbols across the reels.

Reel Adventure and Free Spins

Land three or more matching symbols on adjacent paylines to hit a winning combination. As you spin the reels, the Knight walks along the path at the bottom of the reels and opens up the chests he approaches. The more generous your wins, the farther he’ll walk.

In each chest, there is one of four modifiers:

• Standard Symbol Bonus: all instances of 1 low-paying symbol are turned random
   
• Sword Bonus: up to three reels are turned wild and multipliers up to x7 are added
   
• Fireball Bonus: up to four wilds are added to the reels, which then explode and turn other symbols wild
   
• Gem Symbol Bonus: 1 or more gemstone symbols are turned wild, with a 2x or 3x multiplier applied

Any gems that are revealed in the chests are added to the shield alongside the reels. When all four gems are added to the shield, you can level up (which will offer you more winning combinations) or trigger the free spins round.

If you fill up the shield at Level 3, you’ll trigger the free spins bonus anyway. Depending on which level you trigger the free spins, you’ll get extra wild symbols:

• Level 1: every gem symbol turns wild
   
• Level 2: every gem symbol turns into a 2x wild multiplier
   
• Level 3: every gem symbol turns into a 3x wild multiplier

During the free spins round, the Knight will continue his journey. As you collect diamonds, you’ll be able to retrigger the bonus with more free spins.
