About Diamond Fiesta
Real Time Gaming’s Diamond Fiesta is one of their more impressive-looking slots and one of their first major titles to be developed in HTML5 for a mobile-friendly audience. Diamond Fiesta is loosely themed on the Day of the Dead celebrations from Mexico, and the game itself is played over five reels and fifty paylines. You’ve got a decent wagering range to play with in this game, with stakes costing anything from 0.01 up to 1.00 per line. As you might imagine, with fifty fixed lines, this means that bets cost 0.50 up to 50.00 a pop. That’s quite low for a slot, so high rollers may not feel as though the game is for them. Low rollers, on the other hand, will appreciate what it has to offer. Diamond Fiesta can conjure up a non-progressive jackpot worth around 800x a bet, but there is also a jackpot prize to be won in this slot, so let’s look at that next.
Special Features
RTG’s Diamond Fiesta comes with a Jackpot Diamond mode. To land this, you’ll need six or more diamonds to appear anywhere on the reels, and that won’t be easy. These scatters will dish out three re-spins. During those re-spins, only diamond symbols will appear on the reels. The basic idea is that when new diamonds appear, they will remain in place for the duration of your re-spins. Diamonds will then reveal cash prizes at the end of the feature. However, it is possible to land Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot prizes through this round. They are the equivalent of a progressive jackpot prize.
During this round, it is possible to expand the reels, too. This can make things easier with a larger playing field. This is important, as you can only win the Major or Grand Jackpot prizes on a full 8x4 grid – not the 6x3 grid or 6x4 grids you normally get. The reels will expand if diamonds fill the bottom four corners of the screen.
While playing the base game, you can keep your eyes peeled for wilds. These symbols appear as Senor Skeleton characters, and they can only pop up on the second to fifth reels. They can replace all save for scattered skull and diamond symbols.
Bonus Feature
As touched on, there are scatter skull icons in this game. Three or more of these will activate Diamond Fiesta’s free spin bonus. You’ll get six free spins to begin with, and extra skulls, diamonds or wilds can be added throughout the round. Three or more additional scatters will offer you a further three free spins to your tally, while you can trigger the Jackpot Diamond mode in this feature, too.
