Amazon's Diamonds Introduction
Setting aside the somewhat confused theme, and the lack of a soundtrack or any ambient noises beyond the thud of the wheels, Amazon’s Diamonds from Novomatic offers a wide range of staking possibilities. You can choose to play 1, 5, 10, 20 or all 30 paylines with line bets from 0.30 coins to 90 coins, which should satisfy the high-rollers.
The Amazonians are the big-paying symbols in this pokie, with the flame-haired warrior having the biggest payout of 150 coins for five on a winning payline. The usual card symbols round out the pay table in bright neon hues, and a random panther prowls the reels while a giant Amazon oversees the reels.
Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend
The most interesting features of Amazon's Diamond are the Wild and the Scatter. The Wild is represented by a Diamond that arrives on the reels already fully stacked and carrying the biggest reward in the game with a 3000-coin payout for a full house on a winning payline. This symbol substitutes for all others except the scatter to create winning combinations across the reels.
The scatter is a large red ball - no we don’t understand the symbolism either - but this stacked scatter arrives with a healthy number of bonus games. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4, and you’ll land eight free games if you spin up seven red balls, 15 free games for eight balls and a huge 30 free games if you land nine red balls. All the scatter bonuses reward you with 180 coins.
With the possibility of spinning up stacked wilds throughout your free games, this feature has the potential to be hugely rewarding. However, you can’t retrigger the free game bonus feature during your free spins.
Amazon Queen
Although Amazon’s Diamonds can look a little underwhelming on your large desktop screen, it plays really well on a smaller smartphone or tablet screen thanks to mobile optimisation for iOS and Android.
Diamonds Are Forever?
There’s a lot to recommend Amazon’s Diamonds in terms of the gameplay once you hit the Wilds and the Scatter. Landing seven or more red ball scatters can be tricky, but the potential rewards are great with a really healthy number of free spins on offer.
The fact that the Diamond Wild also carries a decent reward in its own right and is always stacked makes this another decent feature, but in other ways this pokie disappoints with the lack of 3D graphics and a proper soundtrack. However, if free spins are your favourite feature, then the 30 potentially on offer here, plus mobile optimisation and stacked Wilds, make Amazon's Diamonds a good free pokie to add to your collection of fun games to play.
