Diamond Queen

Diamond Queen, a slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines, was designed by the guys from IGT. The game offers the player very few features, with the wild and the bonus symbols being the only ones to keep things interesting. The top jackpot is $200,000.

In Diamond Queen, the player gets access to a world with queens, wizards and all kinds of mystical elements. It's also about diamonds, of course. The background selected for it is that of an enchanted forest, with trees seen in the distance, surrounded by a purple mist. The theme was very well designed, and everything fits well together. The playing cards which are used here are not designed to look like they're part of that world though, being kept quite simple and without decorations. As for the other symbols used here, the diamond queen is one of them, with the rest being the diamond scepter, wizard apprentice and the wizard, plus the Mystical Diamond Bonus symbol.

Up to 20 coins can be wagered by the player on the 20 paylines, with 1 coin being used for each payline selected. The bet per line starts at $1 and it goes up, to $200, allowing for bets of up to $4000 to be made. With the maximum bet selected, there are prizes of up to $200,000 to be won.

Winning the top jackpot is done with five symbols with the game logo, all on a single payline. If you can't afford to wager $200 on one payline, no worries, the game awards a jackpot that is 1000 times the line bet, so you're still going to get a nice prize.

The symbol with the Diamond Queen acts as a wild in this game, substituting for other symbols, as long as they're not a bonus symbol.

Next, we have the Mystical Diamond Bonus symbol, which will start a bonus game, but only if the middle three reels have this symbol on them during the same round. As the bonus round begins, the player receives 3 spins for free, but he gets the chance to win extra spins and wild reels, making sure that even though there aren't a lot of free spins to start with, things get better as you play them.

The same bonus symbol will award a prize that is 2x the total bet, if two of them appear on the middle three reels.

Diamond Queen is a very well done slot, which will appeal to a lot of players. The bets of up to $4,000 per spin do indicate quite clearly that it's been created with high rollers in mind.
