Crystals Digger

Crystals Digger Review

This slot studio often releases interesting games, so the release of Crystals Digger was highly anticipated. Is it any good, though, or is it a slot that you should skip? This review will answer that question, starting by examining the game’s playing field. It comes with a 6x5 payout, and it uses the Pay Anywhere system of payouts. That means you need to find a set of 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the playing board to get a win.

Thematically, Crystals Digger is about going underground and digging for valuable crystals and stones. It’s a traditional theme, but the designers have done a great job, as the game’s graphics are colorful and gorgeous. It’s a polished package overall, and it makes for a pleasant experience.

The volatility level of Crystals Digger is medium-high, and you can win up to 2,000x your bet in the main game. The minimum bet is £0.20 per spin, while the slot’s max bet is £100. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Crystals Digger is very low at just 90.39%.

Crystals Digger Slot Features

There are 9 regular pay symbols in Crystals Digger, split into 4 low pays and 5 high pays. The low pays are stone-like card ranks from Jacks to Aces, while the high pays show more intricate gems and crystals. The symbols are well-designed, and you can get some splendid wins if you find them in larger numbers. While you need to get at least 8 matching symbols to get a payout, there are bigger wins available for sets of 10+ and 12+ matching symbols.

There aren’t any Wild symbols in Crystals Digger, but there are Crate Scatters that can land anywhere on the board and trigger free spins.

Kicking off the gameplay, there are Cascades, which means that winning symbols get automatically removed and replaced with new ones as the spin progresses. It’s possible to get multiple wins in one go.

To get to the Free Spins feature, you have to get 4 or more Crate Scatters anywhere in view. That will net you 10 free spins in total, and you can get 5 extra free spins by landing a set of 3 or more Crate Scatters during a free spin. This can net you up to 300 free spins in total if you get lucky.

During free spins, you get access to special Bomb Multipliers that can appear anywhere on the field and show win multipliers of 2x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x, or 100x. At the end of each free spin, you’ll get your win multiplied by the sum of all Bomb Multipliers in view, which can lead to some serious wins.

If you aren’t keen on waiting for the Crate Scatters to land, you can click the Craft Bonus button and purchase one of the available free spins triggers.

Finally, there’s also the Jackpot Wheel of Fortune feature that you can get to by collecting enough special JP points. You collect those points by playing the game, and you can win the game’s stand-alone progressive jackpot via this feature. It doesn’t fit the game’s theme, but it’s certainly a fine addition.

Review Summary

Crystals Digger is a nice enough slot with one huge flaw in its low theoretical RTP. It’s a shame, as the experience is rather good otherwise, and the inclusion of a stand-alone progressive jackpot adds excitement.
