Play’n GO has recently unveiled Stepping Diamonds, the latest addition to their slot game collection, featuring a 5×3 format. This new game offers players a chance to immerse themselves in a luxurious casino setting adorned with dazzling gems, traditional fruit symbols, and an array of sophisticated animations.
Diamonds are forever
By blending the timeless appeal of classic fruit machines with Play’n GO’s signature innovative gameplay, Stepping Diamonds aims to provide an engaging experience that caters to both new players and seasoned slot enthusiasts.
Step ‘n Win and Lock ‘n Spin
One of the key highlights of Stepping Diamonds is the incorporation of the Step ‘n Win and Lock ‘n Spin mechanics, which serve to elevate the traditional slot machine experience. The Step ‘n Win feature introduces steps numbered from one to five above the reels on each spin.
When a Gold-Framed Diamond symbol lands on the reels, it triggers a multiplier that applies to all visible cash symbols, represented by Diamonds, with the potential to reach a maximum multiplier of 35x.
Additionally, the Lock ‘n Spin feature is activated when six or more cash symbols appear on the reels in a single spin. This feature unlocks up to five rows with a maximum of 25 positions, creating opportunities for significant wins and injecting an element of excitement into the gameplay.
From a visual standpoint, fans of fruit machine games will appreciate the vibrant aesthetics of Stepping Diamonds, reminiscent of other popular Play’n GO titles such as Diamonds of the Realm, Disco Diamonds, and Mermaid’s Diamonds.
The game features a rich colour palette, with fruit, diamonds, and cash symbols standing out against a stylish navy-blue backdrop. The polished animations and modern interface contribute to a seamless gaming experience that seamlessly blends classic charm with contemporary design elements.
Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin, said:
With Stepping Diamonds, we aimed to bring a sense of glamour and excitement to the classic slot format.
The combination of traditional fruit machine elements with innovative mechanics creates a captivating gameplay experience that we believe will resonate with players looking for both familiarity and a fresh twist.”
Review Overview
Summary
Stepping Diamonds slot is a retro themed game with 20 lines, stacked symbols and 5-of-a-kinds of 50x for 7 or Wild down to 4x for lowest fruits. There is soft jazzy music to listen to as you play but naturally diamonds are what the title suggests are the main feature of this old style slot. Above the reels is a random steps meter which changes each spin. Diamonds have values overlaid including static jackpot amounts of 20, 50, 100 and 500x bet. There's a golden step-and-win diamond which may land, this will pay cash diamonds in view and their values rise for each step allocated on the step meter. Landing 6+ standard diamond cash amounts triggers a hold-and-respin with 3 lives, if 7 or 8 diamonds trigger it then the reels grow to 4 and 5 rows respectively or you can expand them during the feature via the diamond trail. Only blanks and cash diamonds or static jackpots may land and they are collected when running out of lives. A sparkling 4,000x bet is possible here.
