Diamond 7 is one of Novomatic’s earlier fruit themed slot machines, or at least that’s the impression we’re getting based on the style of the graphics involved here. It’s a very simple game and it’s not going to make modern slot players happy, but it’s got its fans and I’m sure they will enjoy its nature.
Enjoy the action in Diamond 7 via its 5 active lines and by spinning its 5 reels. The game has little in the way of features, only a scatter symbol, but it still manages to pay as much as $100,000 through its best wins.
Betting
The bets of Diamond 7 can start from a minimum value of $0.08 per line, while all 5 lines are active. You spend at least $0.40 per spin then, with the option to go even as high as $100. For the maximum bet, the line bet value reaches $20.
Diamond 7 Jackpot
The game’s most valuable wins, the ones triggered via Diamond 7 icons, will pay back to the player 5,000x the line bet. That’s a jackpot of $100,000 coming from a single win, with a round’s maximum potential being $500,000. A screen filled with Diamond 7s will be needed for that kind of reward though.
It’s not a great looking game, we can say that much even before we get to the design section, but that doesn’t make it a bad choice. The RTP that’s mentioned for this game, at 95.66%, is certainly high enough to put it on equal footing with a lot of other more modern slot machines. This figure tells you what kind of potential the game has, to get you paid.
Special Features
Moving on to features, this would be the con that most retro style slots will have, and Diamond 7 is no different. They’re delivering only a scatter symbol for their main feature, which is not going to be enough to make the action interesting for players that want something fun and unique from their slots.
Scatter Symbol
This is about the only feature symbol that you’re going to encounter inside. It’s represented through the image of a Golden Star, made out of precious gemstone, just like the other symbols of this game. The only way in which you can take advantage of it is to have it appear 3, 4 or 5 times. The scatter may appear anywhere, its location isn’t relevant, as long as you get enough symbols at the same time.
While three scatters will get you paid 2x the bet of that round, four will pay 10x the bet and five will pay 50x the bet. You can’t get more than one scatter per reel, so the maximum number of triggering symbols will be 5 for one round.
Design
Thanks to the classic theme, relying mostly on fruit icons, Diamond 7 is not a very interesting game by modern standards. The fruits we see here have been part of many slot machines in the past, though they’re usually not designed to look like they’re made out of gemstones. The most important symbol involved will be the Diamond 7, the one that pays the highest amount when forming a regular combo. The next icon that’s a major influence on the gameplay is the scatter, the one with the Golden Star.
The overall graphics would fit better with a 90s casinos than a current one, so the look is about two decades out of date unfortunately.
Summary
Diamond 7, from Novomatic, is going to be a boring slot machine for pretty much everyone, except those that prefer this type of design and gameplay style.
