Diamond Shot Blitz

Diamond Shot Blitz Review

This title is packed with exciting features, including free spins, expanding reels, and numerous different jackpots up to 2,000x the stake.

Diamond Shot Blitz is a follow-up to an older game. Yet, a completely different approach has been taken with this one, and the only thing that remained more or less unchanged is the theme. The gameplay, in turn, has been significantly modified, offering a different kind of experience. Another major change is the max win capability.

While the previous game featured progressive jackpots, the Blitz edition switched to the fixed ones, so the potential here is lower to a great extent. With that said, the maximum you can get from a single spin is 2,000x the bet. Anyway, given the low rating of the game’s volatility, the rewards match the risk involved. Plus, wins should occur fairly often according to a solid 43% hit rate and an RTP of 96.77%, which is above average. As for stakes, the possible betting options range from £0.5 to £50 per spin, which should suit most.

Back to the theme, Diamond Shot Blitz is stunning on the outside despite utilizing a classic style. Dominating the view here is the semi-transparent standard 5x3 reel setup with 50 fixed win lines, and behind it, an animated image of outer space makes up the backdrop. It’s not something that we have never seen before, but the graphics and animations are incredible, so kudos to the design team. The soundtrack is also on spot. An upbeat retrowave soundtrack plays whilst you spin the reels and picks up the tempo when you hit bonus features, perfectly suited to the actions.

As we head over to the paytable, we see a bunch of familiar symbols that were used in the older version of this game. There are seven pay symbols in total, including in ascending order cherries, bells, regular bars and bars displaying a digit of 5, as well as single, double, and triple red lucky 7’s. All symbols pay from three-of-a-kind and more, and five-symbol winning combinations are worth from 0.5x to 20x the bet. Different kinds of bars and sevens can also create winning combinations, paying 0.5x and 2x the bet for five-of-a-kind respectively. Finally, diamonds are Wild symbols, acting as substitutes for any of the regulars. Moreover, they are worth 10x the bet for combinations of five.

Look out for Diamond Shot symbols that can appear on all reels during the base game. They are bonus symbols and always land in stacks, and when a certain amount appears simultaneously anywhere in view, players receive a corresponding instant cash prize, as follows:

Bonus Symbols are available only on the three middle reels, and landing 3 instances activates the Free Spins, giving 3 spins and a guaranteed jackpot of 4x your bet to start with. The bonus is played on special reels where Diamond Shot and Bonus symbols are not available, though, new Blitz symbols come into play during the feature.

The free games start at the 5x3 reels, and collecting a certain amount of Blitz symbols expands the reels by 1 additional row up to 5x10 and resets the free spins tally back to 3. However, the number of collected Blitz symbols also resets to zero after advancing to the next stage of free spins.
