Diamond Mine Extra Gold Megaways

Yeehaw! Join the bearded gold digger for a second reel adventure on the slot from Blueprint Gaming. Diamond Mine Extra Gold Megaways will take you back underground for another dig for treasures worth up to 10,000 times your bet. In addition to the popular Megaways mechanic with cascading symbols and reactive wins as well as a free spins round with progressive multipliers, you will have now the opportunity to not only buy a feature but also gamble it for up to 30 free spins.

Slot Details

Diamond Mine Extra Gold Megaways is a cascading video slot with six reels, up to seven rows and 324 to 117,649 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to six symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only. You can enter the mine on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility with an RTP of 96.43%.

A desert scenery in the rocky plains with blue skies and scattered cactuses serves as the backdrop to the game window that is placed in front of the entrance to the diamond mine. Typical digging items and diamonds dominate on the reels held in a wooden frame. A banjo soundtrack accompanies the usual reel and win count noises.

Blueprint kept the pay symbol set identical to the original, meaning that at the low end you will find the card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 0.8 to 1.75x your stake for single six of a kind. They are followed by a set of pickaxes and spades, oil lanterns, the bearded gold digger and a flashy diamond. Hit six across the reels to win 2x to 50x your bet.

A diamond stick is the wild symbol, appearing in the horizontal reel only and substituting for all regular pay symbols. A TNT barrel acts as the mystery symbol while a bag with gold nuggets serves as the scatter.

Diamond Mine Extra Gold Megaways Slot Features

Core to the gameplay is still the Megaways engine under licence from Big Time Gaming where the number of ways from 324 to the maximum is randomly determined for every spin. Each round starts with 2 to 7 symbols dropping onto reels one and six as well as 2 to 6 symbols onto the four middle reels. Additionally, the game has a horizontal extra reel at the top of the game window with four positions, extending from reel two to five, where more symbols appear on every spin.

The symbols from a winning combination will shatter to make room for new symbols to drop into place and potentially setting off a chain reaction that will let you win again and again in the same spin. The process continues as long as a new winning combo occurs after a cascade.

The most common feature you will encounter is the Mystery Symbol. TNT barrels may land on all reels including the horizontal one on any spin in the base game and free spins. Once the reels have stopped, they will reveal one common symbol, including the top-paying diamond. However, they cannot contain wild or scatter symbols.

Having four scatters in view at the end of a spin sequence will trigger 12 Free Spins. Any additional scatter will add +5 to the tally. Before the round starts, you will be offered to gamble your won free spins for up to 30 free spins. A pie gamble wheel will appear with red and green sections. The size of the sections is a true indication for your chances to win the gamble. The green sections will gradually increase the more you progress on the gamble trail. At any stage, you can decide whether to gamble the number of free spins or start playing the feature.

The key to scoring big wins in Megaways bonus features is the progressive Win Multiplier. It starts at x1 and increases by x1 after each winning reaction, no limits. Plus, any three or four scatters landing on the horizontal reel in a free spin sequence will award +5 and +10 extra free spins respectively.

The second new part on Diamond Mine Extra Gold Megaways is the Golden Bet option. It will allow you to buy a Free Spins feature for a one-time amount of 50x your base bet. The triggering spin will reveal a minimum of three scatters which will get you 8 free spins. The game then leads to the gamble screen where you can attempt to win up to 30 free spins or play the bonus round.

While this option is available in most jurisdictions, some countries such as the United Kingdom have prohibited bonus buy features, thus players cannot take a shortcut and will have to wait for an organic trigger.

Final Verdict

Well, if you thought Diamond Mine Megaways was great, then you will most probably love the Extra Gold version. The gamble adds another element of suspense to the game play while for those able to use the Golden Bet there is now a shortcut to the main feature. Overall, you still get solid Megaways action and a mega win potential of up to 10,000 times your bet. Yeehaw!
