Diamond Easter Slot Review

The news is bristling with stories about how the DOJ (Department of Justice, for you non-Americans) is suing Apple for monopolizing the smartphone market. ⚖️

And it got me thinking about Apple’s logo. I’ve read the story of how Steve Jobs asked an ad agency to design something simple and instantly recognizable, and what the creative said about how he came up with the logo and included the bite to make it more salient blah blah. 🧑‍💻

But no one seems to be talking about the most obvious connection – the biblical one. I mean, isn’t it patently obvious that Apple products are the modern version of the apple in the Garden of Eden, and therefore evil because they’re enlightening? 🍎

Actually, I’m an Apple fanboy so I’m just trying to get all you Android people into a frothy. Bet y’all were like, “Yeah man, Apple is from the Devil!” 🤣🤣🤣

So, what does my rambling have to do with Diamond Easter slot from 1Spin4Win? Nothing, really. But you’ll soon discover that I’m not the only one who makes strange and obscure connections between things. 💎🎰

Gameplay

I’m not sure why the setting for Diamond Easter slot is the garden of some elaborate palace, but it might have something to do with the jewel-encrusted Faberge eggs that adorn the 5-reel grid. It’s a bit of a stretch, as far as links go, but then again, who am I to talk, given my intro?

There are other jewels on the reels, which serve as the high-paying symbols, and you’ll also see Coins – these will come in handy for the game's sole feature.

Scratching under the elaborate surface reveals 243 ways to win, a high volatility rate, but a shoddy top prize of only $105,000. The max multiplier is 2,100x, and the RTP is 97.30%.

The game looks… how shall I say this nicely?... a bit crappy in portrait mode because the paytable has been shoehorned above the grid. Luckily, landscape mode fixes that and the game looks impressive in this orientation.

Features

BONUSSPINS:

Landing 3 or more Coins triggers the Bonusspins round with 10 spins. And FYI, Coins also pay in any position, and their multipliers are 1x to 5x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 50x, and 100x.

This feature is what you get if Free Spins got jiggy with a Hold & Win. Kinda. Let me explain. So you get 10 spins instead of the customary 3, but the triggering Coins don’t become sticky, and the reels reset with each spin.

You can get a grid full of Coins landing but it means nothing if they don’t display multiplier values; those are the Coins you want.

If you see the Mini Jackpot Coin land during this round, it will pay you 100x your bet. If you land a grid full of Coins with multipliers, that will see you rewarded with the Mega Jackpot of 1,000x your bet.

Performance

Diamond Easter slot cycled through hundreds of spins with no issues at all. I tried it out on all my devices and browsers, and there was no discernible difference.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.10 but if you want to be in the running for the $105,000 top payout, you’ll need to go all in at $50. The max multiplier is 2,100x.

Conclusion

There are a couple of things that don’t sit well with me with Diamond Easter slot. First up is the fact that your risk level – via the volatility rate – isn’t compensated for by a commensurate payout. I mean, $105 grand is at least half of what it should be.

This isn’t the first time that 1spin4win has done this. I’m looking at you, Mega Diamond X slot. But at least Mega Booming Diamonds slot offers $225,000, so if you’re hellbent on a similarly-themed game from this provider, now you know which one to go for.

Then there are the Jackpots. The payouts aren’t exactly earth-shattering – something like 7 Gold Fruits slot pays up to 5,000x with its Mega Jackpot – and that game also offers 4 Jackpots instead of the 2 we find here.

And then we come to the main feature. It’s a bit of a strange one, that’s for sure, and because the reels reset with each spin, making it far tougher to land anything substantial.

But by far the worst crime Diamond Easter slot has committed is that it’s almost the exact same game as Lucky Clover Spins slot, which was released more or less at the same time.
