Diamond Force (Microgaming) – Review & Demo Play

How to Play Diamond Force

I load Diamond Force, set my stake between 10p and £10, and hit spin. The vertical control panel keeps things tidy, with a chip button for bet selection, a quick spin toggle for faster rounds, and a menu button that opens the paytable and rules. Autoplay is there if I want hands‑off sessions, but I keep an eye on the balance. With 1,024 ways, combos land anywhere on adjacent reels, so I don’t fuss over lines or leftmost starts.

Game Symbols in Diamond Force

There are ten symbols here. Four superheroes appear as 3x1 stacks, backed by royals, plus a Bonus Scatter and a diamond Wild. The paytable is odd. Every combo of the heroes pays 0.2x my bet whether I hit three, four, or five of a kind, and the royals pay 0.1x on the same basis. That flat structure makes small wins feel tiny even when the reels line up neatly.

The diamond is the Wild and stands in for regular symbols. I’ve seen it quoted as landing on reels one and five, and it behaves like a standard substitute. The Bonus Scatter is the gateway to the enhanced round when the set‑up aligns. Visually the cast leans on familiar comic book tropes, and the stacked superhero tiles are easy to spot when they scroll into view.

Bonus Features in Diamond Force

Diamond Force runs on Crazy Tooth Studio’s Team‑Up Reels engine with two features. The Team‑Up Feature triggers from stacked superheroes and plays on a special reel set packed with cash values and multipliers. Team‑Up Bonus Spins adds free spins on that alternate layout. In both cases I’m chasing x2, x3, and x5 multipliers, which can combine and turn flat base pays into something worth a look.

Team-Up Feature in Diamond Force

I trigger the Team‑Up Feature by landing at least three fully stacked superhero reels in the same spin. Those stacks convert into a new grid where each reel drops either a cash value or a multiplier. The number of stacked heroes dictates how many reels appear in this sequence, so more stacks mean more reels to hit on.

All cash values are added together, then the multipliers apply. If more than one multiplier lands, they multiply with each other, which is the only way to see chunky hits with such low line pays. The mode lasts one spin and then the game returns to the base. It’s snappy, theme‑led, and very swingy.

Team-Up Bonus Spins in Diamond Force

Team‑Up Bonus Spins needs two or more stacked superhero reels plus a fully stacked Bonus Scatter on reel five at the same time. The layout shifts and only the reels with the stacked heroes remain active, starting me on three free spins. It feels tight, but the set‑up can snowball when the right tiles land.

During the spins I can land cash values, x2, x3, or x5 multipliers, and extra spin tiles worth +1, +2, or +3. Total free spins can climb to 20 if the extra spin icons keep popping, which buys time for multipliers to line up with decent cash drops.

When this round flows, the multipliers do the heavy lifting. I’ve had bursts where back‑to‑back adds and a late x5 turned a modest run into a proper result. Miss the multipliers and it fizzles fast. That’s the trade‑off with this engine.

Max Win, You Can Expect? in Diamond Force

The stated max win is 13,175x my stake. The RTP sits around 96.53% and the volatility is high, which matches the gameplay swings. With low pays of 0.2x and 0.1x across 3–5 of a kind, the top end leans on those multiplying reels to do the work. The max bet is £10, so the ceiling is capped in cash terms, and hitting anything near the peak needs stacked heroes plus stacked multipliers.

Our Verdict on Diamond Force

I like the comic book styling and the way the heroes spring into action, but that flat paytable drags the base game. The Team‑Up engine is the hook. When I chain x2, x3, and x5, it wakes up, and the math makes sense. When the multipliers miss, even five of a kind looks anaemic. Stakes from 10p to £10 keep it accessible, yet the cap limits absolute returns.

As a seasoned player, I treat Diamond Force as a feature hunt. I’m targeting fully stacked heroes and reel five’s stacked Bonus to reach the alternate grid. If you’re fine with quiet stretches while waiting for those set‑ups, the special reels deliver the best moments. If you want steady line wins, the uniform pays will test your patience.
