Disco Diamonds

Overview of Disco Diamonds slot

Disco Diamonds is the latest slot to be released by the gaming team at Play ‘n’ Go and it proves that disco inspired music is certainly making a comeback whilst remaining as diverse as ever. Whether you don your platform shoes, put on your wide bottom flares and open shirt is your choice, but this is a slot has significant potential that should be enough even if you are not a fan of this flamboyant music genre. The symbols are truly old school, and the win always pay system with bonus features brings Disco Diamonds out of the 70s and into 2020.

Grab your dancing shoes

Right from the word go you will see that Disco Diamonds shares a similar feel and look to other games in this genre for example Fortune Factory Studios - Village People Macho Moves slot as it is also complete with neon pink colours and disco ball wilds. The slot plays out over 5-reels and provides you with 243 ways to win. The play grid is certainly well positioned sitting within a DJ booth in an exclusive club that sports purple and blue lighting. The furnishings could be confused with art deco and some of the things look both in and out of place such as the Panther statues which you may feel are vulgar or provide this slot with that extra bit of class.

The soundtrack in the features really ramps up as a DJ finally plays a decent record, after it has been hovering in the background in a subdued and forgettable manner. When it comes to the audio and visuals of this slot the quality is second to none and something the developers should be congratulated on.

Slot Elements

This slot can be played on all devices and players can choose to bet from a minimum of 10p per spin up to £100 per spin. The slot provides another dependable math model which Play ‘n’ Go are known for, and it will be in favour of those who prefer highly volatile gameplay. The return to player can be adjusted dependent on where you choose to play, however it does have a default rating of 96.29% which is as solid as ever. It is worth checking out the pay table before beginning to play as this will confirm what the default return to player is and the version of the game that you are playing.
Possibly one of the nicest things about playing Disco Diamonds is it pay system, and despite the retro reels and symbols, you have 243 ways to win instead of over a variety of fixed pay lines. Winning combinations start from the left and are made up of three of the same symbols in any row.

Symbols and Wins

When it comes to the symbols there are nine and they are all modern-day versions of the classics. The first 5 are the lower paying symbols and these are represented by the cherries, lemons, balls, double bars, and triple bars, which all sport a metallic shiny finish. The remaining 4 are the higher paying symbols and these are represented by the 7s, double sevens, triple sevens, and diamonds. If you manage to land five of these in a row you will be rewarded with 2x to 5x your stake.
The last thing of note is that this slot has two wilds which contribute to your win rate. The first is the standard silver disco ball and when this lands on any of your reels it can substitute for any regular pay symbols to create a winning combination and landing five in a row will also pay you 50x your stake. The other wild we will look at next.

Disco Features

When it comes to discos there is no party without the famous disco ball suspended from somewhere. In this slot there is a special golden disco ball wild and these will help you to create the best wins possible. Should you land one or more in the base or bonus game you will be rewarded with a disco respin. When this happens all the gold wilds that activated the feature will lock into their positions for the next spin and the win multiplier will increase from 1x. If you land a new special wild you will be rewarded with another respin and the win multiplier then increases by +1 with no limit on how high this can go.

There is no missing the wheel that is rotating slowly above the reels which shows many prizes. If you land three or more of the bonus scatter symbols on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th reels you will activate this bonus wheel. The wheel then drops down to cover your game screen, and awards you with cash prizes of 7x, 10x, 25x or 50x your stake. Alternatively, you can be rewarded with five, 7, 10, or 20 free spins.

The most desirable feature in Disco Diamonds is the free spins game as this is where the maximum wins can be rewarded. You can also trigger the disco re-spins from the free spins too however, there is a difference as the win multiplier does not reset when the re-spins end. Unfortunately, the multiplier is not applied to wins that occur on regular free spins, but for the record all wilds are special during both the disco free spins and re spins.

Is it all Diamonds at this disco?

If you are not a fan of classic gaming or the disco genre it may take a while for you to appreciate the charm this slot has to offer. Admittedly the game is heavily reliant on re-spins, but these come along reasonably frequently particularly if you land a roll of consecutive disco ball wilds. To balance the mechanic the developers have lowered the symbol values which is not great news for the base game or the free spins that do not benefit from the win multiplier. In other words if you do not get the features your bankroll may take a hit. Fortunately, the free spins and re spins do appear regularly and the respin feature is particularly good when playing the free spins. Even if you were to win the lowest number which is 5 from the bonus wheel this extends when the disco balls turn up. The potential is here and if you get into the groove you can win up to 10,000 times your stake which is double the amount usually provided by this developer.

There is no doubt that this slot ticks several boxes, as the potential is as evident as is the high volatility which is great news for the high rollers. There are good flows of free spins and profitable re spins but if you fail to land the features it can put a real dampener on the disco.
