Diamond Mine Extra Gold is a 6 reel Megaways™ slot from Blueprint Gaming that through the use of the Megaways™ pay mechanic can produce up to 117,649 ways to win with every spin. Also referred to as a random reel modifier the Megaways™ engine is under license from Big Time Gaming, and players may also recall that Blueprint have already released a slot called Diamond Mine Megaways™, this is in fact the sequel, so lets have a look how it shapes up. 

The minimum bet to play Diamond Mine Extra Gold is just €0.20 a spin, with the top stake costing €20 a play. Players will be pleased once more that there are a total of 6 stake sizes between the minimum bet and €2, meaning this sequel is going to be accessible to those with varied playing budgets.

DIAMOND MINE EXTRA GOLD CASCADING REELS

Following on from the original version of this game, Diamond Mine Extra Gold also features cascading reels. This feature does generally tend to be used anyway on a slot that has a 6 reel set up and 117,649 paylines. 

Also know as tumbling or rolling reels, the cascading reels feature will remove any symbol that makes up part of a winning combination, new symbols will then drop down or roll in on the upper reel to replace those removed. Consecutive cascades can take place and if you have a good reel set up with a lot of Megaways™ present, then you can hit some decent wins from this feature. 

DIAMOND MINE EXTRA GOLD FREE SPIN FEATURE

Triggering the free spin feature on Diamond Mine Extra Gold will require you to land 4 or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. A four scatter trigger will reward you with 12 free spins, and each additional scatter thereafter will add 5 extra spins. 

The major difference between Diamond Mine Extra Gold and the original is that on this version you have the option to gamble your free spins via the pie gamble, players may remember something similar in BTG's Extra Chilli Megaways™.

Of course this brings a massive risk reward scenario, and the following outcomes are possible depending on how many free spins you begin with. 

• 8 Free Spins - Gamble to win 12, lose and receive 0.
• 12 Free Spins - Gamble to win 16, lose and receive 0.
• 16 Free Spins - Gamble to win 20, lose and receive 8.
• 20 Free Spins - Gamble to win 24, lose and receive 12.
• 24 Free Spins - Gamble to win 30, lose and receive 16.

Once your free spin total has been determined then the bonus round will get under way. Again this part of the bonus is just like the original slot, you begin with x1 on your unlimited multiplier, and each successful cascade will increase your multiplier by x1 in value. Additional spins can be added through a re-trigger, to achieve this 3 or 4 scatter symbols will have to appear on the upper reel, if they do they will award an extra 5 or 10 spins respectively. 

Blueprint have added the mystery symbol enhancer to a number of their Megaways™ slots such as Return of Kong Megaways™ and Genie Jackpot Megaways™. This symbol can land anywhere on the reels during the base game and the free spin feature on Diamond Mine Extra Gold, and with it produce some massive wins. Begin to feel excited if you have a good sized multiplier during the free spins and a large amount of these symbols drop in across the reels. 

Players in certain regions will be offered the chance to buy the bonus on Diamond Mine Extra Gold, and for this privilege it will cost 50x your current stake. The bonus guarantees you a minimum of 8 free spins which is a 3 scatter trigger, this is the only part of the game where 3 symbols will trigger the bonus. From this point you can choose to collect what you are awarded, or risk it on the pie gamble for more. 

To put it simply, Diamond Mine Extra Gold is just the original game with a gamble added on to the free spin feature, and a bonus buy for players who are able to access it. Although it may not sound like a lot, it does increase the volatility of the bonus that you can play massively, 30 spins on a slot like this during the feature is a huge amount, and literally anything can happen.

We wasn't too surprised that Blueprint opted to go back to Diamond Mine and give it a bit of revamp, we recently spoke to Jo Purvis who is the Director of Marketing and Relationships at Blueprint, and she told us that Diamond Mine Megaways™ was their most successful Megaways™ game to date.

So let's see how players take to this one, we think it's going to go down very well indeed. Don't forget to try it out in our free play demo!
