Review of Diamond King Jackpots
We have been on quite a few slot safaris in the past, but Diamond King Jackpots was one of those that caught us a bit by surprise. There are so many mediocre games being released on Microgaming's platform that we had hardly any hope in the upcoming title. There is no doubt that this game also offers a lot of fun features, combined with a pretty solid math model.
In terms of visual appeal, it's not all that bad either, although there is nothing that stands out in that area either. In addition to the Power RangeTM frame which upgrades wilds with multiplier values to produce decent base game wins, the multipliers also multiply with each other. I must say, however, that this "diamond in the rough" becomes a fully polished diamond once it is released into the bonus round, and the jackpot pick'em game is the proverbial icing on the cake.
Features of Diamond King Jackpots
On the middle three reels of the slot, you will be able to see that the two middle symbols positions are framed, and this is what is called a Power Range. The diamond symbol is the wild symbol in this game, and it has the ability to be upgraded to a 2x multiplier wild whenever it lands in the Power Range frame. Whenever you get a winning combination, the wild symbols will substitute for all regular symbols as usual, allowing you to create winning combinations with the possibility of a multiplier boost as well.
The diamond wilds that you land will also be added to a Diamond Meter that you will be able to see on the left-hand side of the screen. As soon as the meter reaches its full level, you'll be able to trigger the Diamond Jackpot feature. After selecting your choice from a total of 12 diamonds, you will be required to match 3 jackpot symbols to win the jackpot that corresponds to that diamond. There are 3 smaller fixed jackpots (mini 20x, minor 50x, major 200x), while the Mega Jackpot is worth 5,000 times your stake.
In this game, the symbol of the giraffe in the sunset is the bonus scatter, which is necessary in order to unlock the bonus round. If you land 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatters anywhere on the reels, you will receive 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. If you land a wild symbol within the Power Range, then you will see that the multiplier value will be increased by 2x, 3x or 5x, depending on the value of the wild that it is on reel 2, 3 or 4.
In order to benefit from the wild multipliers, you do not even need the wild(s) to be part of a winning combination for the multipliers to apply to all your wins. Additionally, the multiplier wilds will also multiply with each other to increase the potential payouts even further. It may be possible to purchase the bonus round for 50x your stake in some jurisdictions (not in the UK).
Diamond King Jackpots Experience - 200 Spins at a Time
In our edited highlights video, we are packed with only the best stuff this time around, and the video begins with an initial wild win that gives you a 2x multiplier. We then proceeded to play the jackpot feature, as we had successfully filled up the meter after a while. Lastly, we get to see the bonus round play out, during which we also manage to land a pretty decent payout as a result.
Summary of the review
With a well-balanced set of features available in Diamond King Jackpots, there is nothing to complain about, and there is nothing to worry about when it comes to the 10,912x your stake potential as well. There are decent payouts in the base game thanks to the Power Range multiplier wilds. But if you play the bonus round, there is even more power and range to be won!
As you see the Diamond meter fill as you play, the Jackpot feature gives you a little added excitement, and keeps you motivated as you play. Of course, it will not happen all that often that you will land on a 5,000x jackpot, but the pick 'em bonus game will guarantee that at least you will win a small jackpot win. In terms of visual appeal, this is a fairly standard safari game, with a majestic animated lion standing by your side at all times.
