Diamonds of Egypt: Feature Overview

Now let us have a look at the special features Diamonds of Egypt has to offer.

Free-Spins Feature

The first feature we will have a look at is the Free-Spins feature. As mentioned before at least 3 Scatter-Symbols on adjacent reels or in combination with a Wild-Symbol result in 8 Free-Spins. When the Free-Spins are triggered all low-tier symbols will be removed, leaving you with the mid- and high-tier symbols. Landing three or more Scatter-Symbols under the same conditions as mentioned before will reward you with 8 additional Free-Spins. There is no limit for how often the Free-Spins can be Retriggered.

Jackpot Feature

The other special feature Diamonds of Egypt has the offer is the jackpot feature. Whenever a Wild-Symbol is part of a win there is a random chance of triggering the jackpot feature. When the jackpot feature triggers you will be rewarded 12 pots to choose from, with hidden values in them. There are four different jackpot values you can win.

The possible values are:

• Mini: Jackpot value of 10x your bet

• Major: Jackpot value of 100X your bet
• Grand: Jackpot value of 1000x your bet

If you uncover three identical jackpot values, the bet multiplier will be rewarded and the jackpot feature ends.

Diamonds of Egypt: Conclusion

Another slot with 243 ways to win in an ancient Egypt setting from Pragmatic Play and as always design wise there is nothing to complain about. But a good slot design isn’t everything a slot is about.

We are happy about the fact that Pragmatic Play managed to differentiate Diamonds of Egypt by giving us improved reels for the Free-Spins and an additional jackpot feature, so it isn’t just another copy and paste slot.

If you´re playing on low bets, you will be disappointed that the lowest possible bet size Diamonds of Egypt has to offer is 0.88€ (or equivalent) leaving you no other option. We are also missing the option of buying Free-Spins since we are already used to that when playing a Pragmatic Play slot. Other than that we don’t have much else to complain about and to be honest these are just minor issues that don’t address every player. So let us wrap our review up, by saying that we liked Diamonds of Egypt. Mostly because of the features the slot has to offer.
