Diggin’ For Diamonds (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Diggin’ For Diamonds Slot Game

I’ve put in a fair few spins on Diggin’ For Diamonds, and it sets the scene above ground at a mine entrance framed by boulders. A trolley with dynamite waits by the tracks, and a bearded miner fronts the action while a banjo Western melody twangs away. It’s a scatter-paying slot on a 6 by 5 gameboard with stakes from €0.20 to €80. The look leans generic, yet the interface is clean, and the session flows well once the cascades start rolling.

Symbols and Payouts in Diggin’ For Diamonds

In Diggin’ For Diamonds, icons pay anywhere when 8 or more identical symbols land at once. The low-paying tier is five gems, each framed in gold. For 8+ of a kind, the Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, and Red gems top out at 2x, 4x, 5x, 8x, and 10x the bet. All payouts scale with your stake, and wins are created via scatter pays rather than lines, so clusters across the grid still count as long as the total hits the threshold.

High-paying symbols are the Drill, Lantern, Mining Cart, and a bird with a helmet. For 8+ matches they can reach 12x, 15x, 25x, and 50x, with 12+ size hits ranging from 2x to 50x overall. There’s no wild here, yet the Bonus Scatter shows the bearded miner and the Diamond Multiplier symbol can swing results. If you want the exact ladder of prizes, the paytable shows every step for both base spins and tumbles.

Diggin’ For Diamonds Slot Bonus Features

Every win triggers the Tumble feature in Diggin’ For Diamonds. All paying symbols are removed, the other icons drop to the bottom, and fresh ones fall in from above to fill the empty spaces. If more winning combinations form after a drop, the tumbles keep running as part of the same spin. It’s a clean scatter pays cascade flow that can turn small clusters into a tidy run when the grid keeps feeding follow-up connections.

Multiplier symbols are diamonds that can land on any reel in both base game and free spins. When they appear, they take a random value between 2x and 100x. At the end of a tumble sequence, all visible multipliers are added together and applied to the final win. In free spins, each one also adds to a total multiplier for the whole feature, so later wins benefit even if no fresh multiplier symbol lands on those spins.

Four, five, or six Bonus Scatters award 12, 15, or 18 free spins. Land three or more during the feature for +4 extra spins. A Loss to Win modifier can flip a dead spin into a payout or even the bonus. Gold Bet adds 25% to the stake to raise the odds of triggering free spins. Bonus Buy comes in two picks, 12 free spins for 100x the bet or a 15 or 18 spin setup for 250x.

How to Win at Diggin’ For Diamonds

To win in Diggin’ For Diamonds, you want 8 or more identical symbols landing anywhere on the 6 by 5 grid. I set stakes between €0.20 and €80, hit Spin, or used Autoplay for steadier sessions. Keep an eye on Diamond Multipliers and the Loss to Win modifier, as they drive momentum. Gold Bet can help trigger the bonus but raises cost, so I toggle it based on balance and how the base game is tumbling.

Diggin’ For Diamonds Slot RTP & Volatility

Diggin’ For Diamonds plays with high volatility, so stretches of air are balanced by punchy sequences when multipliers line up. The headline RTP is 95.10%, and the game ships in several models, including 94%, 90.5%, and 86%. The max multiplier win reaches 5,000x the stake, which sets expectations for bonus rounds that build a total multiplier and then catch a decent tumble chain. Hit frequency sits at 28.11%, so wins pop a little over every fourth spin on average.

Stakes are flexible within most lobbies, and the Gold Bet adds a 25% premium without changing paytable values. Bonus Buy offers a straight shot at free spins for 100x or a pricier option for the 15 or 18 spin setup at 250x. These tools don’t alter symbol values, yet they shift variance and pace. I like the accumulated total multiplier in the feature, as it removes the faff of needing a fresh diamond on every winning tumble.

The Final Thoughts on Diggin’ For Diamonds

Diggin’ For Diamonds borrows a proven scatter pays recipe and dresses it in a dusty Wild West vibe with a plinky banjo line. It isn’t trying to reinvent anything, yet the Lose to Win modifier and the always-on total multiplier in free spins give it a tidy rhythm. The RTP sits on the low side, and purists may wish the cap was higher, but I still found enough punch when diamonds stack and the tumbles link into a proper sequence.
