Diamond Fruits Megaclusters

Diamond Fruits Megaclusters Overview

Created by internationally renowned gaming studio Big Time Gaming, this slot is a multicoloured all-out assault on the senses. If you like your slots powerfully vibrant and intensely dynamic, then this is about as good as it gets. One of the most novel aspects of this game is that the reels have a 3D quality which imbues the screen with a much more immersive feel.

The Megaclusters dynamic also gives it a faintly arcade game dimension, adding another layer of interest when spinning the reels. Mechanically, there is a decent RTP of 96.23% and a max win of 6,650x the stake per spin.

The features included in Diamond Fruits Megaclusters are four-fold. The first feature is what the game calls its reactions feature. It is triggered when you land a win of five or more matching symbols. Each large winning symbol in the win is then substituted for four smaller symbols, giving you greater odds of winning the next spin.

Next is the wild explosion feature, activated when players land three consecutive reaction wins. Between five and fifteen wild icons are then randomly added to the reel set. These increase your chances of winning yet again.

Finally, there is also a free spin and unlimited multiplier feature. All bonuses will be explained in greater detail later on in the review.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is a modern take on a classic fruity slot. All of the tell-tale elements of the classic fruity are here, from the bright fruit symbols to the colourful glitzy background. However, this game has also been imbued with a kind of upbeat disco vibe, with pumping club music and a space-age board and reel set that is anything but classic. This new take on the fruity might be a bit much for some players; however, whatever your opinion, you can’t fault the designer’s ambition and stylistic flair. The game grabs you immediately and, with its fast-paced spinning and feature-rich content, manages to hold your attention until you have exhausted your spins.

The background for this game is relatively simple in that it is an ever-changing set of strobing lights which change colour as you spin on throughout the game. Its futuristic lasers and sparkling lights make players feel like they are in a trendy nightclub dancing the night away.

The board being a Megaclusters board is a little confusing at first sight. However, you soon work out where everything goes, and it actually becomes quite an exciting and novel experience.

The symbols for this game are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-value symbols are the blueberries, lemon and orange slices. The most valuable of these is worth 20x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the higher value symbols are the pear, plum, watermelon, and diamond icons, each of which is worth 50x the stake for the top combination. The only special symbol in this game is the wild, represented by a multicoloured disc.

Features

The first bonus feature included in this game is the reactions feature. When you land a win in this game, the winning symbols are removed from the board and replaced with new ones. However, in this game, any large symbols that were part of a win are replaced by four smaller symbols to help players score another win with the second set of icons. Winning with small symbols just triggers a regular cascade. The Cascades will end when the new set of symbols does not form a win.

The second feature included in this game is the wild explosion feature. This bonus is activated when players trigger three consecutive wins. Between five and 15 wilds are randomly deposited on the board when this happens. These wilds substitute for other symbols to help increase the chances of winning.

The next feature on the bonus list is the free spins round. Players need to land eight or more consecutive cascade wins to activate this bonus. You will subsequently be rewarded with eight free spins plus one extra for every win that you managed to score over the threshold of eight.

The free spins round begins with a 1x multiplier, yet with every win within the bonus round, the multiplier will increase by one. There is no limit to the size of the multiplier that you can achieve in this game.

Conclusion

A new take on a classic, players will be thrilled about the variety of bonus content, the engaging and diverting theme and the chance to win some reasonably exciting prizes. With a respectable RTP, this might not be too unlikely either. The only downside in this game is that the top prize isn’t as appetising as it could be, considering the complexity of the game and its promise of awesome wins.
