Introduction

You might need to pause when you see the latest Red Rake slot. The five reels and fruit machine theme are normal, but the combination of three and six rows? That’s anything but an ordinary layout, and it leads to an incredible 3888 possible ways to win even before you start triggering cascades and free spins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Diamond Cascade might combine two of the most traditional themes - the fruit machine and the jewel themed slot - but it’s by no means stodgy or old-fashioned. That’s mostly thanks to the unique layout with the smaller first reel followed by six rows, but it’s helped by vivid, gleaming graphics. Each button is a polished gemstone, and even the fruit symbols have an extra shine. The soundtrack mixes traditional beeps and whirs with moments of sweeping music to accompany the animated life of winning combinations. It makes for a distinctive game that honours its classic origins.

Diamond Cascade RTP and Variance

The 95.4% RTP of Diamond Cascade isn’t quite where we’d like to see it (we prefer when it’s over the 96% mark), but it’s not too bad, especially with the large number of winning ways and medium variance to balance risk and reward. It also helps to remember that despite the average - and RTP is only a long-term average - individual spins can deviate wildly. There’s no completely accurate way to predict results.

How to Play Diamond Cascade

Those polished jewels and gleaming fruits look so good you probably want to sweep them all up:

1. Tempting as all those gemstones might appear, start with the less glamorous buttons down in the bottom corner. First is a Menu button, from which you can view your history or the Help page, as well as choosing to leave (though you probably don’t want to do that yet).
2. Down here are also buttons to switch between normal and full screen mode or mute and unmute sound. The final button is View Replay, which doesn’t just show your game history but allows you to rewatch spins. Of course, that’s no good before you start spinning.
3. And before you do that, you’ll want to adjust your bet. Look at the top right of the screen, where your current total bet is displayed. There are plus and minus symbols to tweak it to where you want. Unfortunately, there’s no Max Bet button.
4. Changing your bet also changes your paytable, which you can find by clicking the button that says (shockingly) “Paytable”. You can find it over on the left. This will tell you the value of every symbol, plus how to trigger bonuses.
5. Above the Paytable button is your current Balance. You don’t want that getting too low - chasing losses is no fun and can be dangerous. Set yourself some limits before you start playing.
6. Now go back to the right. There are actually two buttons with play symbols, but the smaller one also has arrows around it. That’s because the larger one is the regular Spin to get your game started, and the smaller one opens autoplay options with up to 100 automatic spins.
7. The trouble with autoplay is that it doesn’t allow you to incorporate win and loss limits, so your game might slide out of control without your noticing. Still, it does save the annoyance of having to keep hitting Spin. Do what’s best for you, but remember that slots are more fun when you play responsibly.

Diamond Cascade Bonus Features

Free Spins

All you need to trigger this feature is to find three or four Bonus symbols (handily labelled as such). You’ll be awarded 12 or 16 free spins respectively. Before the round begins, you’ll also have a chance to spin a roulette wheel that will award you a multiplier of between x1 and x10 to accompany any wins.

You can’t retrigger free spins, but if your total win from the round is less than ten times your bet, you’ll be awarded four extra spins and keep getting those spins until your wins have reached the ten-times figure.

Diamond Cascade

The titular feature can appear randomly during the base game or free spins. Precious diamonds pour over the reels in dramatic fashion, bringing between one and six Wild symbols with them. During free spins, it’s between one and four Wilds, but the feature does trigger more often.

Diamond Cascade Review

It’s always a refreshing change to have any layout other than the standard 5x3, and Diamond Cascade enhances its appearance even more with its gleaming graphics. This is far, far from a standard fruit machine and may appeal to fans of the ever popular Da Vinci Diamonds slot. Once you get your head round the unusual format, Diamond Cascade has a lot to offer.
