Diamond Mine 2 Megaways (Blueprint Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways - Game Overview

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways keeps the sunny mine entrance vibe, but sharpens the look and sound. It runs on a 6-reel Megaways engine with 2–7 symbols per reel and a sliding tracker on top, reaching up to 117,649 ways to win. Wins pay left to right, and reactions clear winning symbols so new ones drop in. TNT barrels act as mystery symbols, and a dynamite wild appears on the top reel. The choice-driven bonus model and the banjo twang give it that familiar Blueprint feel.

Base Gameplay in Diamond Mine 2 Megaways

Every hit triggers a cascade. Winning symbols vanish, fresh ones tumble in, and the top tracker shifts left when used in a win. The wild lives on that tracker, subbing for pays to link combinations. With the reels constantly resizing, you get those trademark Megaways swings, where a small starter can snowball through a series of reactions. It mirrors the original’s flow, only cleaner and brisker.

There’s an Extra Bet that bumps your stake by 20% and increases the chance of triggering a bonus. It’s a simple switch that suits players who like more bites at the feature without buying it outright. I tend to toggle it on during drier spells, as the base still holds up with mystery reveals and steady cascades, yet the real heat comes from the feature picks.

Symbols and Paytable in Diamond Mine 2 Megaways

The low pays are 9, 10, J, Q, K, A, worth about 1x to 1.5x the bet for six of a kind. High pays are the shovel, lantern, prospector, and the diamond, ranging from 2x up to 50x for a six-symbol hit, with the diamond paying from two of a kind. The dynamite wild only shows on the top reel and doesn’t replace scatters. TNT mystery symbols flip to the same symbol in view, never a scatter, and the scatter is your ticket to the bonus picks.

Bonus Features in Diamond Mine 2 Megaways

Three or more scatters trigger a pick: Free Spins or Gold Spins. The scatter ladder is neat and clear. You’ll see 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 scatters awarding 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 Free Spins, or x5, x7, x9, x12, x15 Golden Guarantee if you choose Gold Spins. In the base, scatters land on the main reels; in features they sit on the top reel. It’s a straight choice between open-ended multipliers or a target to chase.

Free Spins run with an unlimited win multiplier, starting at x1 and climbing by +1 after each cascade. Land 3 or 4 scatters on the top reel during the round for +5 or +10 spins. Before starting, there’s a Free Spins Gamble where you can push up to 30 spins on a segmented wheel. Lose, and you step back on the ladder; win, and you climb. Gold Spins cannot be gambled.

Gold Spins also ramp a multiplier by +1 per cascade, but the round continues until the multiplier reaches the Golden Guarantee you started with. Scatters on the top reel raise that guarantee by +1, extending the chase. It’s a different rhythm to classic Free Spins. You avoid a dead bonus, yet once you hit the target the round ends, so picking a higher guarantee feels more enticing.

Stakes, RTP and Potential in Diamond Mine 2 Megaways

You can stake from 0.10 to 10 per spin. RTP sits at 95% whether you play standard, flip on the Extra Bet, or trigger features via the buy. The volatility leans mid to high, so expect swings, but the ceiling is a tidy 10,000x the bet. There’s a Bonus Buy at 100x that drops in with at least three scatters, letting you choose between Free Spins or Gold Spins without the wait.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways: My Verdict

I came in for the nostalgia and stayed for the options. The core loop mirrors the first outing, yet the Gold Spins twist adds a fresh angle, especially when the guarantee climbs mid-feature. The testing session felt lively rather than flashy, with the multiplier ladders doing the heavy lifting and TNT reveals nudging hits into tidy chains. It’s not trying to reinvent the mine; it’s polishing the pickaxe.

On the flip side, the 95% RTP won’t thrill purists, and the math can whipsaw when reels stay stingy. That said, the balance of Free Spins, the gamble step, the Extra Bet and the clean Gold Spins target makes it a solid sequel. If you liked the original’s pace, this delivers the same classic Megaways action with a sharper finish and a bonus choice that’s worth a punt.
