I have never lined up the top prize, but have certainly had solid hits that keep me in the hunt, which keeps it fun. I have thrown $20 into a quarter version of this game and gotten good mileage out of it. The Double Diamond symbol being a 2x multiplier, with the chance for 4x if two come out to play, keeps things interesting and exciting for those who enjoy a game with a good multiplier, while cherries can provide a lifeline and some additional spins relatively frequently. And with a top prize of 800x, with a bit more for the third credit wager, it is not an overly volatile game either.
One, two or three credits, and a handful of symbols to worry about makes it an easy game to quickly understand. The pay table is also refreshing in its simplicity. The game in its original form has no free spins, no bonus rounds or features – it is simply line the symbols up and win. One great example is the Double Diamond mechanical 3-reel slot, a workhorse for decades on many a casino floor. There are certain games that are pretty amazing by their pure simplicity.
