Diamond Jackpots

This is a new game in a decidedly traditional format. Diamond Jackpots uses the “Diamond Glass” transmissive technology on IGT’s new DiamondRS cabinet to add modern, video-like elements to a traditional mechanical-reel stepper slot.

The base game is a three-reel stepper with five or nine paylines. The original Diamond Jackpots was a four-reel game with multiple progressive jackpots, offered on the classic S2000 mechanical-reel cabinet. This three-reel adaptation of it features the original game play, including 2X, 3X, 4X and 5X wild symbols that add together in mixed combinations to multiply the jackpot. The wild symbols also form the top jackpot combinations.

In place of the original’s fourth reel is a virtual reel next to the pay schedule, which spins to award multipliers, re-spins and other bonus features, as well as the four progressive jackpots, resetting at $100, $500, $2,000 and $40,000. Landing the twin-diamond “respin” symbol on the virtual reel triggers another spin, making it possible to win multiple jackpots within one feature. Three Diamond Jackpots symbols on a payline trigger the virtual reel.

The game is offered in traditional higher denominations, from quarters to dollars.
