Wild Diamond Pokie

The game uses a standard 15-payline scheme in which identical pictures win if 3+ appear on paylines from left to right. Patterns corresponding to paylines are shown inside the game rules (to view them, click the “I” button under the reels). There is a uniform user interface built into all IGTech pokies. A bet amount on each spin can be changed by increasing or reducing two parameters: Coin Size (AU$0.01 to AU$0.50) and the number of coins per line (1–10). Since all lines are always switched on, the min/max bet sizes are AU$0.15 and AU$75 per spin. It is small surprise that IGTech have fitted the pokie machine with well-known classic fruit symbols including lemons, plums, watermelon and cherries. These fruits have identical awards of x5, x10 and x40 for three, four and five of a kind. More hefty wins are granted for five cracked bells (AU$500) and red sevens (AU$1000). There are only six ordinary pictures in this online casino game.

Two wild symbols are available in the game. A shining diamond is a normal wild symbol that acts as a substitute for all non-feature symbols. It behaves like many other wild symbols in online casino pokies, meaning it lands in any position. Further to that, diamonds are the most valuable items in the game since three, four or five of them pay out x20, x60 or x300 at max (up to AU$1500). The second wild is a golden seven with diamonds at its bottom. This is kind of a limited, light version of a normal wild symbol because it substitutes only for a Red Seven and features the same payouts as the latter. This special bonus pic is also used to trigger a bonus feature to be explored below.

A self-explaining Free Spins symbol surrounded by a red lightning bolt hits a bonus round if you get them on the first, third and fifth reels at a time. Scatters pay nothing directly but the feature itself is very lucrative since an advanced set of reels is used. It differs from the base reels in that extra wild diamonds are added to each column at the beginning of free spins. This means a player will hit winning lines on almost every spin. The feature is retriggerable under the initial starting conditions (three scatters anywhere).

Everyone, even a thrifty punter, has a good chance to win one of four bet-dependent online casino jackpots, the values of which are always indicated on the screen, changing every time as soon as a bet is changed. The jackpots are: Mini (x10 total bet), Minor (x30), Major (x100) and Mega (x1000 total bet). So low rollers who bet a cent per line may hold out hope for AU$150 in Mega jackpot, while heavy bettors can win AU$75,000 at max. A jackpot is won in a bonus game triggered by three special wild sevens anywhere on the screen. A player is then presented with a 3×4 grid of diamonds that he should pick to reveal a jackpot type (Mini, Minor, etc.). To get the respective jackpot, the player needs to match three identical jackpot symbols.

Wild Diamond is a non-progressive pokie machine featuring four jackpots, each of a fixed value (AU$75,000 at best). The gameplay runs on 5 reels and 15 fixed paylines, while a bet size varies from AU$0.15 to AU$75 per spin. Recommended for play on any device, mobile or desktop. The best winning in the game (AU$1500) is provided when five wilds occur on a payline.
