A truly innovative video slot is coming our way straight from the Play’n Go’s creative kitchen. Diamond Vortex is a 7-reel video slot with an unusual 4-5-6-7-6-5-4 reel formation, that offers symbol drops, cluster pays, and three rings that rotate to move the icons every time you land a win. Look for the Zones and the Spots you need to place in those Zones in order to trigger additional features, like the Transform feature and the Free Spins feature. Use Sticky Wilds to trigger the Consume feature and increase the winning multiplier. The Core Wild multiplier during the Free Spins feature will secure an increasing multiplier until freebies are over.

We have to be completely honest and say that it will take you a couple of spins before you fully understand the rules of the game. The hexagonal reel grid offers 7 reels and a 4-5-6-7-6-5-4 reel formation. To win payouts, you need a cluster of 6 or more matching icons. A winning spin will make the three rings in the reel grid rotate and hopefully create new winning clusters. Betting starts at $0.20 per spin, while the biggest bet is set at $100. As for the control panel, there is nothing innovative about it, the command list is pretty standard and offers all the usual options.

When talking about the visuals, the reels appear to be placed in outer space, at the very entrance of a certain space vortex. The symbols that populate the reels are certain Crystals that can obviously be found only in cosmos. Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Crystals can be spotted on the reel grid. There are two Wilds on the reels. The Core Wild is always located on the central position of the grid, while the Sticky Wild can become sticky when part of the winning combo. Both of them substitute for all symbols but the Scatter that triggers free spins.

Thanks to the Rotate feature, the three rings that form the reel grid will rotate after every winning spin and will reset after a non-winning spin. The Sticky Wild that lands on the reels will become Sticky only if it is a part of a winning cluster. After each successive win, it goes one step closer to the Core Wild, and once it is consumed, it increases the win multiplier. With each Wild consumed, the win multiplier can go up to 20x. This is called the Consume feature, and it resets after each non-winning spin.

Three Spots are located in the bottom half of the reel grid, while three ones are placed in the upper half. Thanks to the Rotation feature, the Spots will move upwards, and once one (or all) Spots get to their corresponding Zones, all symbols in the corresponding rings will transform into one randomly chosen icon. The best way is to fill all three Zones with Sots at the same time in order to fill the entire grid with one icon and land massive wins. This is the Transform feature. Finally, there is the Free Spins feature, triggered when the Bonus Scatter lands in one of the Zones. Gamers can trigger up to 15 freebies, getting 5 free spins for each Scatter landed in one Zone. The Core Wild multiplier is also active during freebies, but it does not reset after a non-winning spin.

As we said in the beginning, it will not be easy for you to understand the rules of the game, but once you do, you will be hooked. There is plenty to play for in the 2020 release. So many features and so many opportunities for big wins, up to 5,000x bet per spin. Remember that the win multiplier can go up to 20x.
