Diamond Blitz 2 Slot Review

While the original Diamond Blitz slot included a jackpot feature, in Diamond Blitz 2 this has been replaced by a feature known as ‘Blitz Mode’. All of other previous features have been retained, so lets take a look at all the features on offer more closely:

Wild Symbol and Respins

The Wild symbol is a diamond and can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. As a wild it can be used to form winning combinations with all other special symbols.

Respins activate when a wild symbol lands in any of the top 3 rows. The wild becomes sticky, moving down one row with each spin until it disappears off the reels. If another wild appears on the top three rows during this process, then the feature will continue.

Blitz Mode

Only landing on reel 3, the Blitz scatter symbol triggers the new feature called Blitz Mode. Blitz Mode will apply to the current spin and the following 4 spins. If another Blitz scatter symbol appears during these spins, the counter will reset to 4 spins. If a wild symbol lands during Blitz Mode then the Blitz Spin feature will become active.

Blitz Spins

Blitz Spins are initiated when a wild symbol is landed in the Blitz Mode. The wild symbol once again becomes sticky on the reels and moves down one position on each spin during this bonus feature. However this time they do not vanish. Rather, they are fixed in the final position of the reel, which lacks an additional wild.

When the wild symbol advances to the final unoccupied position on the reel, it grants an additional Blitz If a new wild symbol is landed during this the number of available spins can be reset to four.

The accumulated sticky wilds are unleashed at the conclusion of the Blitz Spins. Therefore, if a wild symbol is present in any of the top three rows, it is possible to initiate standard re-spins. The respin will continue until the wild symbol reaches the bottom position on the reels.

Bonus Buy Feature (Non-UK)

While not available to UK players, The Diamond Blitz 2 slot game provides a bonus purchase feature that allows players to enter the bonus round without spinning the reels. To activate the Feature Buy, click the "buy" button on the interface and select your preferable bonus feature.

During this feature, the RTP experiences a modest increase, reaching 95.75%. It is important to note that the bonus purchase feature does not contribute to any jackpot.

Fruit machine-styled slots typically rely on their nostalgic appeal to draw players in, but Diamond Blitz 2 shows how this classic formula can be reinvented to appeal to the modern players, not just the the old school ones. The graphics of this game match both the retro aesthetics but with modern presentation and the RTP of 95.71% though marginally below the current market average, is in line with fruit machine games.

It is in the bonus features where Diamond Blitz 2 truly shines. Most slots will focus on the use of scatters, multipliers, and bonus symbols, but in this game the wild symbol takes centre stage which feels very refreshing. Developer Red Tiger have truly pushed the envelope with the bonuses that the humble wild can offer, and the Respins and Blitz Spins offer simple yet engaging excitement often lacking from slots of this type.

Diamond Blitz 2 is a slot that has mass appeal for classic and modern slot fans, and I rate this slot at a strong 8/10.
