The Wombat says: Diamond Deal is an awesome Pick ‘Em type game from UK developers Gamevy. There is no spinning of reels or dealing of playing cards here, you just pick and win- it’s a bit like a modern keno game. This makes a nice change from the complicated pay-lines, bonus rounds and Free Spins of online slots, and requires less skill than Poker or Blackjack.
Diamond Deal Game Play
If you want the yellow stuff, then play Slots O’ Gold, but if you want gems this is your game! Just as the name suggests, Diamond Deal is all about hunting down those flashy gemstones and popping them in your back pocket. You’ll find a 5x 10 grid on your screens complete with a very glitzy looking interface, plus a game show style backdrop. The graphics are nice and sharp with plenty of flashing lights and the soundtrack fits in nicely. You could also play the Jewel Strike slot if you like your gems, but that’s more of a traditional slot game.
Select your diamonds by clicking on 1 box at a time from a 50 possible sparkly squares – you’re looking for 10 diamonds in total, all of which are hidden behind the boxes. Every time you find a diamond, your prize will increase, and if you manage to pick up a dazzling 9 diamonds in a row, you’ll win a very sizeable jackpot indeed.
But be careful where you choose Wombat Fans! If you open an empty box, you’ll lose you lose 1 of your precious 4 lives, and the cash in your coffers will decrease too. Every time you correctly pick a diamond, your lives will reset to 4 again. You’ll also get the chance to cash out after each wrong or right pick. Sweet!
The Bets
Before you get diamond picking, you’ll need to decide how much you’re willing to splash out on your bet. As always, the higher your bet, the more money you can win – the lowest possible bet is £1 and it goes up to a max bet of £10.
The jackpot at the top of the screen will show you what you could win, while the ‘Next Diamond Wins’ tab highlights how much cash you’ll scoop if you turn over the next diamond correctly. At the bottom of the screen you’ll see the Cash Out button. But will you decide to stick or twist?
Diamond Win
If you do manage to uncover a box containing a precious gem, the cheeky diamond will go all full-screen on you, along with some flashing pink lights and a tinkly winning ditty that’s bound to make you feel triumphant!
Quick Pick Feature
Feeling lazy? Then this little button will take all the stress out of choosing the boxes for you! This Quick Pick feature just chooses where the diamonds might be completely randomly. We think this could be a really good feature if you want to skip all the game play go straight to your win (hopefully), or loss. If you do lose 4 picks in a row, the game will flash a big pink ‘UNLUCKY’ sign at you, just to let you know you’ve had a rubbish round…
Conclusion
Diamond Deal is a nice little game that will appeal to players who are looking for something easy, with minimum fuss and some decent payouts.
Play it on your mobile, your tablet or your laptop. While away some time here, you won’t be disappointed…
