Diamond Rise

Rarestone Gaming are not a company known for taking risks with their slots, but that’s exactly what they’ve done with their latest release Diamond Rise.

When other developers decide it’s time to do something a bit different, they usually concentrate on developing a new theme, elaborate visuals or adding innovative features to the gameplay.

Rarestone Gaming have gone in completely the opposite direction and stripped everything back to the bare minimum. And we do mean the bare minimum. Diamond Rise has only 3 reels, 3 rows, and three paylines with very minimalistic graphics and soundtrack. The good news is that it works completely!

The simple 3x3 grid sits alone in the middle of the screen against a background of radiating neon light. The soundtrack features the spinning noises and electronic clickings of fruit machines of old. The only way you would know that you’re not actually playing one is the betting range that goes from 0.01 all the way up to 500.

There's not a lot of room for symbols on a grid with only nine positions, which is why Diamond Rise only has 5 of them.

The most effective combination you can make is three of a kind, and this is what you need for a win. The symbols pay as follows;

Bar pays 2 x the bet

Cherries pay 4 x the bet

Grapes pay 8 x the bet

Sevens pay 16 x the bet

Bells pay 32 x the bet

A big neon Wild symbol can land, but only on the middle reel. It will, of course, substitute for any other symbol except the Scatter to form a winning combination.

A Diamond acts as the Scatters and can show up anywhere on the reels. When it lands on reel 3, it can also have various value multipliers attached.

The Diamond Scatters are what makes this game more than just another unimaginative classic slot. These don't award free spins. Instead, when you land 3 of them, the Diamond Rise feature, which the game got its name from, will be triggered. This is a separate game that owes more to pinball or pachinko than slots.

At the start of the round, you'll have 3 Diamond balls that you launch onto the playing area. They'll drop down the field and fall into one of the six cups at the bottom of the screen. Each of these has a multiplier attached, from 1 x to 4 x. This can be increased if any multiplier balls are collected from reel 3. Any Diamond balls will be collected from the other reels to give you more chances. At the end of the round, all your winning are tallied and paid out.

Diamond Rise is a classic slot with minimalistic design and gameplay, but it can still pack a punch! And with such a huge betting range, you can check it out for peanuts or play for the big bucks right here at bwin.
