One day I started feeling a little tired of all the flashiness of video slots. I felt up for something different. So I looked for something old, and ran into a brilliant classic slot. And when I say brilliant, that’s literally what I mean. “Diamond Mine” is the name of this slot, which turned out to be quite a revelation, and it actually succeeded in feeding my hunger for difference.
This time RTG introduced us to a great 3-reel, 1-payline classic slot. It contains a number of typical symbols, such as multi-colored bars, and red sevens, but there are also some theme-related symbols – diamonds, for sure, as well as $ signs, which actually bring the top prizes. And the sounds featured in “Diamond Mine” are adequate for such an old-timer, even though they may sound a bit funny to us.
The rules of the game are pretty easy to comply with: you can play with one, two, or three coins. And you set the value of the coins on your own. They may go from $0.05 to $5, which means that the maximum bet you place can be $15. Also, there are three chips among which you pick the amount of credit you put in the machine. The ultimate prize you may win is 2500 coins, or $12,500.
Another good trait of this slot is that it allows you to cashout your credits at any point during the play.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks, compared to video slots that we are so used to these days. One of those is lack of those symbols and features whose appearance on the reels really makes our day – wild symbols, scatter symbols, free spins, or multipliers. Surely, some of those are not commonly seen in classic slots, but it’s still unusual to play without help of any of those.
However, even though it has these obvious drawbacks, which make it seem like you’re never going to win (and yet, I am a living proof that you can win at least a little), this slot is intended to be as plain as it can be. And I really mean that in a good way. It is good for beginners, who are yet to try their luck with some more complicated slots, it represents a nice change for those experienced players who’d like to recall what they played back when they were beginners, and its clean and authentic graphics is to serve as a reminder of some good ol’ days that are mostly behind us.
