In Black Diamond 5 Lines you will discover a classic slot machine, and it’s the one with the most paylines from this series, at least when you look only at the classics. There are also 1 and 3 Line versions of Black Diamond, plus a 25 Line option that is more on the modern side and with a lot more features. The theme revolves around gemstones and classic Bar icons made out of gold, and that’s about it. It’s a very simple theme they’ve went with here, and I believe it deserved a bit more effort, especially since they built four games based on it.
Out of the three Black Diamond classic slots, this one has the most paylines, 5 of them being available. There is the usual wild symbol and also the usual $30,000 top jackpot, so in these areas it’s identical to the other two.
Features of Black Diamond 5 Lines
While most classic slots will try to be as simple as possible, Top Game decided to use at least one interesting feature in this game, and it was a wild symbol that they chose in the end.
As the wild symbol, the Black Diamond icon is very useful even when it doesn’t manage to create its own combinations. There is always the chance that it will be able to create a combo together with a few other regular icons, but they do have to match. You can use either two wilds and one regular icon, or one wild and two matching regular icons, and you will have a win line. It will not pay nearly as well as the wild would on its own, but it’s still more money in your pocket. If the wild has all three positions on a line occupied, it awards the top jackpot. Its exact value depends on the payline it landed on.
Betting options and jackpots
The bets are between $0.01 and $25, depending on what choices you make. The number of coins and lines to be used is the first of those choices, 1 to 5 coins being used for just as many lines. The denomination is the second thing you have to decide on, the range being $0.01 to $5 for each coin.
The 6,000 coins jackpot won through the best combo, will be worth that much only on the 5th line. Lines 1 to 4 get you payouts of 1,000 to 4,000 coins, for the same combo of three wilds. The cash value goes up to $30,000.
Design and symbols
The design of Black Diamond is almost identical in every game of theirs, the modern one being the one that strays the most from the pack. You have a decent looking mountain range behind the reels, you have a silver colored paytable and logo, a simple white set of reels and some interesting symbols. The quality is there for the symbols, but there are only a couple of them, so the variety is missing.
Symbols: Black Diamond (wild, 6,000 coins), Ruby (200 coins), Triple Gold Bar (50 coins), Double Gold Bar (25 coins), Single Gold Bar (10 coins) and the Purple Gem (5 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
If you prefer your classics with as many chances to win as possible, the 5 Lines slot is the one you should choose. You do have to pay a bit more as well for those extra chances though.
You will find Black Diamond 5 Lines at any online casino which chooses to use software from Top Game, playable either for free or for real money.
