Diamonds Of Egypt Review

It’s strange how every explorer tends to favor Egypt for their treasure hunts, as the pyramids are nothing but sand and stone these days. Nobody knows if there are more secrets buried underneath the desert though, and Pragmatic Play takes you on another expedition to the land of the Pharaohs in Diamonds Of Egypt. Not only that, but you also get to meet a brand new explorer by the name of Emilia Lionheart.

Her debut game could’ve been better to be honest, but you get x5 multiplier wilds on reel 3 to help you out in the base game. This comes in addition to regular wilds on the 3 middle reels, and a jackpot pick game can also trigger when wilds are present. The wilds can help trigger the bonus round as well, and it comes with all low-value royal symbols removed. The 2,500x max win is mediocre, and this is the overall vibe we get from this release as well.

Diamonds Of Egypt Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 1.45 and 7.73 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Emelia Wild symbol can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 to substitute for both pay symbols and scatters. You can also land a multiplier wild of x5 on the middle reel 3 only, and it will boost all winnings it partakes in.

When at least 1 wild symbol is in view you have a chance triggering the Jackpot Bonus Game, and you will then pick different pots one by one. Each pot reveals 1 of 4 jackpots, and you win the first jackpot that’s been revealed 3 times. These are the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots, and they pay 10x, 20x, 100x, or 1,000x your stake, respectively.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters anywhere in view, and this pays 5, 10, or 50 x your stake up front, respectively. You get 8 free spins either way, and you can retrigger the bonus round with 8 extra spins each time you land 3+ scatters during the feature. There is no upper limit to how many retriggers you can get, and all low-value royal symbols are removed for the duration of the bonus round.

Review Summary

Although the presentation is polished as it usually is from Pragmatic Play, Diamonds Of Egypt comes across as the archetype of a generic ancient Egypt release. The x5 multiplier wild can lead to decent base game payouts, and you will trigger the jackpot pick game on occasions. The pick game isn’t really that exciting either to be honest, and the 1,000x top prize seems kind of stingy. We get that this developer has a high production rate, but we still expect better than this from such an experienced studio.

This is not least the case when the game introduces a brand new explorer heroine. The bonus round is one of the tamest features we’ve seen in recent times, as the only difference is that no low-value royal symbols will land. It comes with a 1 in 133 spins hit rate though, which is well above average, and the mediocre 2,500x potential comes with a decent 1 in 3,257,329 spins hit rate. Overall, this was a highly forgettable affair, and we can only wish Pragmatic Play’s new adventurer better luck next time.

Pros

• Wilds on the 3 middle reels
• Jackpot Pick Game w/ up to 1,000x prize
