The wombat says: Just like bangers and mash, Laurel and Hardy and a crisp gin and tonic, there are some things in life that are just better in pairs – and the same can be said for this recent collaboration between Microgaming (the makers of the Emoticoins slot and Thunderstruck 2) and Just For The Win.
These 2 games makers have partnered up to bring us Deco Diamonds slot which combines an art deco style with the theme of an old fashioned fruitie. Kind of like a Mega Money Multiplier slot then (try that as well by the way!), only with 5 reels instead of 3.
The 1920s were a decade of decadence – so let’s grab a flapper by hand, sup on a cocktail and dive straight in!
Look and Feel
Deco Diamonds looks like an old fashion fruit machine but brings all the elegance and indulgence of the 1920s to our devices. Its graphics are sleek and classic-looking all done up in the art deco style ,and the reels are curved to look like an old fashioned slot machine.
The theme is given an exra bit of pizazz by the uptempo jazz soundtrack that gets more frenzied as you start to win.
Thumbs up!
Game Play
Deco Diamonds is a 5 reel slot with 3 rows and 9 pay-lines. Your symbols on the reels are made up of both precious gems and a whole host of fruit, they include; golden bells, bling-bling lucky 7s and blue diamonds- which are also useful symbol on the Secret Romance slot by the way- (on this game they are the most valuable, 5x of these on a pay-line means 100x your bet) plus juicy watermelons, luscious lemons, perfect plums and sweet cherries that all make up your lower value icons.
All symbols can land stacked in a 3×3 formation, which helps with extra winning combos, as does the Deco Diamond logo Wild that will substitute for all other symbols on the reels.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
There are 2 cheeky little extras outside of the standard base game play and they follow on from each other:
Deco Diamonds Feature and Bonus Wheel
Land 2x or more of the Deco Diamonds Wild symbol anywhere on the reels and you’ll be awarded a re-spin with these wilds are locked in place. Any other Wilds that appear during the re-spin will award you one more respin, and this process will continue until there are no more more Wilds on the reels. It really is re-spintastic!
Once you’ve completed your re-spins, you’ll progress to the second feature; the Bonus Wheel. Here you can receive 1 of 3 different levels, each with a different value. Which one you get will depend on the number of Deco Diamond logos you landed to begin with. So:
3x icons = Silver Wheel 5x, 8x, 18x, 58x or 80x your bet
4x icons = Gold Wheel 8x, 18x, 58x, 98x or 500x your bet
5x icons = Diamond Wheel 18x, 58x, 98x, 500x or 1,000x your bet
If you land on the ‘level up’ section of the wheel, you’ll be automatically upgraded to the next level.
After your spin is done, you’ll return to the base game. Hopefully with your pockets stuffed full of deco diamonds…
Conclusion
Deco Diamonds slot is very cool indeed. It’s definitely high variance Wombat fans, and it’s worth sticking with as the payouts are pretty big – even during the base game. Not to mention what would happen if you managed to land the Diamond Wheel in the bonus… Chuck in some top notch graphics and some unique gameplay and you’ve got a great little slot. We like.
