Play’n GO’s Diamond Vortex Stirs Up the Video Slots Community

Get ready to be transported to a whole new world with Play’n GO’s latest release, Diamond Vortex – a captivating hexagonal grid video slot. Following the success of their previous grid-slot game, Honey Rush, it’s no surprise that the Swedish iGaming software developer has jumped on this popular trend.

Diamond Vortex takes you on a journey through space, a theme that Play’n GO has mastered in some of their top-performing games. The unique layout features three concentric circles that constantly spin and rearrange symbols with each cascade. These rings contain Zones and Spots which activate various features such as free spins and symbol transformations.

At the center of the grid lies the Core Wild Vortex – an exciting feature that guarantees at least one Wild on every spin. Any additional wilds that appear will be absorbed by this vortex, increasing its value even more.

Bonus Features Galore

Similar to Honey Rush, Diamond Vortex also features a 4-5-6-7-6-5-4 grid formation but this time set against a stunning deep space backdrop. With betting options ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin, this game is accessible on all devices. It offers an impressive RTP of 96.20%, but do keep in mind that this may vary depending on the version you’re playing. Always check the in-game specifications for accurate information before placing your bets.

The Zones and Spots on each ring play a crucial role in the game. While the Zones remain fixed at the top of each ring, the Spots rotate from the bottom until a winning combination is formed. When this happens, the Rotate feature is triggered, causing the innermost ring to move clockwise, middle ring to move anticlockwise, and outer ring to move clockwise again. Non-winning symbols will shift with the rings while new symbols appear in their place.

Wilds are an equally exciting aspect of Diamond Vortex – with two types available; Core and Sticky Wilds. The Core Wild sits at the center of the grid while Sticky Wilds appear in cascades. If they form part of a winning combo, they’ll jump to an inner ring closer to the Core Wild for even more chances to win.

Scatters and Payout Potential

Once a Sticky Wild reaches the Core Wild, it triggers an amazing feature called Consume which doubles your multiplier for each Sticky Wild consumed thereafter. This can go up to a maximum of 20x – talk about a generous bonus! Whenever you start a new game, this multiplier will reset back to 1x total stake.

The Spots also have their own special ability – when they reach one of the Zones, it activates the Transform feature which, as the name suggests, transforms all symbols on that ring into matching pay symbols. While the Spots will return to their original position after triggering Transform in the base game, if you’ve activated any bonuses, this feature will continue across all rings for even bigger potential payouts.

Last but not least, Diamond Vortex also has a standard free spin feature which is triggered when a bonus symbol reaches one of the Zones. This awards you with five free spins and during this round, the Spots won’t reset between spins – giving you more chances to land those lucrative wins!
