Lock It Link Diamonds Overview

The featured content in this game begins with wild icons. These special symbols substitute for regular symbols to help players score more frequent wins. The other features in this game are triggered when you land three bonus symbols. Do this, and the game will give you the choice of a free spin round or the Lock It Feature. The free spins round will give you six free spins on the reels. The Lock It feature, on the other hand, is a completely different bonus that can lead to huge payouts. We will explain all bonus features in greater detail later in the review.

Lock It Link Diamonds Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is what most would refer to as a high-roller lifestyle. A high roller is a gambler or investor who consistently places large bets or invests large sums of money. They are typically well-connected and have access to considerable financial resources. They are also known for their willingness to take risks and are often seen as being more likely to win big. Their lifestyle is usually associated with the various things that are illustrated in this game, such as cocktails, fancy jewellery and gold bullion.

The background for this game looks like the lobby or atrium of an art deco club or casino, typical of some of the more traditional establishments that can be found in Las Vegas. To the left and right of the playing board are curved staircases, which you could easily imagine Marilyn Monroe or another Hollywood star elegantly descending into a sea of admirers. Lighting this glamourous scene is a triumvirate of chandeliers sparkling gaudily from the roof. The setting is one of implied wealth and sophistication. The playing board for this game is a silver box with a dark blue, shadowy interior.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols are the card suits – diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts. The most valuable of these are the spades and hearts, which pay out at 30x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons, on the other hand, are the ring, martini, watch, dice, hostess and finally, the gold bullion. The gold is the most valuable regular icon, paying out at 150x the stake for the top combination. The specials in this game are the wild icon and the special bonus symbols that trigger the feature content.

Lock It Link Diamonds Features

There are three primary features included in this game. The first is the wild feature. The wild icons in this game can substitute for other icons to help players score more wins.

The main set of features, however, is triggered when a player manages to simultaneously land three or more of the scatter icons on the reels. At this juncture, the game will ask you if you want to play the free spins game or the Lock It Feature.

Select the free spins feature, and you will be given six free spins to play with. Once within this bonus game, if you land another three bonus symbols, you will be awarded an additional six spins and an instant cash reward of 5x the stake. Furthermore, if wilds form part of wins in this bonus round, they will boost the resulting payout by a multiplier in the range of 3x to 8x, depending on the number of wilds involved in the win.

Should you choose the Lock it feature, however, you will receive one spin on a completely different playing matrix. During the Lock It Feature the triggering hearts are locked together and adjoining hearts attach. The initial hearts carry a x1 multiplier of the total wager. Additional hearts are also held on the screen but do not have an initial prize. Multipliers rise by x1 on each spin and a new heart attaching to the locked block re-sets the free games. Fill all 15 spaces to win a x2 multiplier.

This game also offers jackpots in this feature. This happens when random heart symbols get replaced with Golden Hearts. Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots can appear on them. And they provide 40x, 100x, 2,000x and 5,000x the total bet, respectively.

Conclusion

Although you may dismiss this game as another typical Vegas slot, this game does have a little more going for it than many of its piers. This includes not only the novel features, which are demonstrably different from other freeslots but the favourable winning statistics that bolster this game’s value as a decent investment. Our advice is to play it on the demo to see if you like it, then start out slow with a few smaller bets. Try also Gate of Olympus for free.
