Slot Details

4 Diamond Blues Megaways is a cascading video slot with six dynamic reels with 2 to 7 symbols, creating anything from 324 to 117,649 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to six matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. You can spin the glitzy reels from 0.10 to 20 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.40%.

A one-armed bandit in retro style is serving as the placeholder for the reel set, displays and bonus buy button. Classic symbols including cherries, bells and 7s make up the pay symbols, admittedly done with great care for quality and appearance.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card suits – clubs, diamonds, spades and red hearts – awarding 1x to 1.2x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by horseshoes, bells, 4-leaf clovers, cherries, BARs and triple 7s. Hit six across the reels to win 1.5x to 60x your stake. A casino chip marked with the word itself is the wild, appearing in the top tracker only and substituting for all regular symbols. A shiny diamond acts as the scatter.

4 Diamond Blues Megaways Slot Features

Nothing easier for an upcoming game developer to take a successful game and copy it verbatim, or almost 1:1. After being more daring on their decent debut called 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways, Buck Stakes Entertainment seems to have lost confidence in their abilities and simply copied Bonanza for their second Megaways title, albeit they slapped a Bonus Buy options on it (unrestricted countries only). Let’s recap what the game has to offer.

At the start of every spin sequence, symbols cascade from the top onto the six reels based on the random selection of reel positions. In addition, the extra tracker at the top of the game window will spin four symbols into view abeam reels two to five adding an extra symbol position to those reels. Together, they can create anything from 324 to 117,649 ways to win. A display in the top left corner (desktop) shows the number of active ways for the current spin.

Wins are paid for landing symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. All in a combo will be part of a reaction that will see them explode to make room for new symbols to tumble into place. This will continue as long as more wins occur after a reaction. All are accumulated and paid before the next spin starts.

To trigger 12 free spins you will need to land four diamond scatters within a single spin sequence that can include multiple cascades. Any extra scatter landing at the same time will add +5 free spins. During the feature, diamonds appear in the top tracker only, awarding +5 or +10 free spins for three and four respectively. The key to scoring wins is the unlimited progressive win multiplier in the free spins. It will start at x1 and increase by x1 after every winning reaction with no limit on the maximum.

For those impatient among us who cannot wait for an organic feature trigger, there is the Buy Free Spins option that will let you cut through the chase and go straight to the main event (restricted in some jurisdictions). Clicking on the button to the left of the reels (desktop) will open a pop-up screen, displaying the cost to purchase the Free Spins feature. On this occasion, it is 100x your default bet. Once confirmed, the game will start a spin sequence that is guaranteed to land at least four diamond scatters. Bear in mind that the average payout from a bonus round is 92x stake.

Final Verdict

Not sure why Buck Stakes Entertainment decided to tone it down after their debut in the Megaways niche. One guess could be that they wanted to go back to the roots of the Megaways frenzy that started with Bonanza in 2016. Leaves little to add other than the slightly lower RTP for this creation as well as marginally different symbol pays.
