Diamond Treasure

CQ9 brings a touch of Asian allure into the western hemisphere. The vast majority of their games draw influence from classic slots, and such is the case with Diamond Treasure as well. However, their games choose and mix features and paylines at will. 

Here, for example, you will have 1024 paylines combined with bonus games and other features. At first it might look just like any other slot, but pretty soon you’ll notice why the company has drawn a lot of attention from players so fast. Check out the demo game or read the review below.

Theme

Well, the name tells it all. Diamonds act as the treasure here, and whenever they show up on the reels you’ll be in for a delightful surprise. The sound effects and music are somewhat nondescript, yet neither are they a hindrance. Just something that plays on the background as you spin the reels.

The graphics are quite fitting, with all sorts of riches and basic symbols showing up. The slot looks quite spectacular on mobile devices, thanks to good design and the clean bright look.

Betting Options and Functions

At first look, you are witnessing a traditional setup. Five reels with three symbols each, with seemingly normal symbols landing on them. However, you will soon notice that the game comes with...

...1024 ways to win!

What does this mean then? Well, these are not exactly paylines. Instead, it simply means that there are 1024 ways that the symbols can connect throughout the grid. Basically, as long as you have enough matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from left, you are going to gather some wins.

The basic wins do not go all that high, topping out at 250 times the bet. The beauty of this is that once the high-value symbols land in good numbers you are going to score tons of wins throughout the different pay combinations.

Features

The Free Game symbol will give you three options to choose from. To trigger it you simply need to land three of the symbols on a single spin. You will also get an immediate win twice the size of your total bet.

The options are a compromise between the number of bonus games and extra wilds. Twelve bonus games will have an extra wild added to the reels on every spin, whereas with eight bonus games you will get two or three wilds on every spin. If you feel like taking a risk, the third option gives you five extra spins, but each one adds four to seven wilds for each spin. The wilds only show up in the middle reels, but they stay there for the duration of the feature!

The above feature can be re-triggered, but only once. Extra games are added but no extra wilds!

Our Take

It turns out that this classic slot, despite the look and feel, is not quite a classic slot at all. Instead, it is a high variance game that delivers massive wins through 1024 ways to win and a combination of bonus games, multipliers and added wilds. If you are feeling like risking a few coins, then the returns here might be worth it. Another sure hit by CQ9!
