Burning Diamonds Slot Game | Kalamba Games Slots

Despite the large grid, with  5 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines, the Burning Diamonds slot game is a Kalamba attempt at a classic slot. The symbols are retro fruits for the low pays and different coloured lucky sevens for the premiums, and the titular burning diamond is the highest paying symbol and also the wild.

The game features Kalamba’s HyperBet mechanism, which gives players an RTP of 97.21% at the highest level.

Overall the graphics and soundtrack are a bit disappointing. In their desire to reproduce a slot of yesteryear, the developers neglected the usual attention to detail and polish in the graphics that has become such a trademark feature of their lots.

And as a classic slot, the game also lacks the usual wide range of bonus features we’re used to seeing in Kalamba Games. But with progressive jackpots and free spins, it still has much to offer.

The high RTP is matched by high volatility. This means that the potential wins will be pretty big but can take a long time coming. That means good bankroll management is necessary to stay in the game during dry spells, and it never hurts to set a loss limit, either.

The betting range is from 0.50 to 50.00 per spin, so many options exist. And the stake can be increased with the HyperBet option, which offers more free spins and bigger line wins for a multiple of the original bet.

Game Features

Four progressive jackpots are up for grabs in Burning Diamonds, Bronze, Silver, Platinum, or Gold. These are awarded when seven or more jackpot symbols land on the reels on one spin. & wins the Bronxe jackpot, and 14+ are needed to land the highest prize, the Platinum.

To trigger the free spins round, you need to see three or more bonus symbols landing on one spin. The number of spins in the round depends on the bet level that you have selected, with 15 on offer at the highest level. There is a special bonus accumulator symbol that lands and is collected in a metre to the left of the grid during this round. For every three added to the metre, an extra three free spins are added to the total number of spins left in the round.

Wilds come with multipliers from x1 to x5 attached, depending on your bet level, in both the base game and the free spins. These are applied to all wins that they help create.

Overall, Burning Diamonds is not this producer’s best slot, especially in the graphics department. Retro style does not have to mean dull, and there are a lot of better-looking classic slot games out there. However, the gameplay is what you would expect from a slot in this genre, and the rewards are generous if a bit long in coming.
