Shine bright like a diamond
Like Hot Hot Fruit from Habanero, Diamond Strike isn’t trying too hard to be something it isn’t. This is a fruit machine-style slot with all of the usual suspects adorning the reels – bells, cherries, sevens and various other fruits.
This title offers 15 paylines and gives you the opportunity to win one of four fixed jackpots with a really cool free spin mechanic adding plenty of value irrespective of your budget.

Visuals and sound effects
Despite its generic theme, Diamond Strike certainly does possess enough unique qualities to set it apart from other fruit machines. The game is instantly recognisable by its vibrant blue background and the giant diamond symbols. But having said that, it does lack slightly in terms of creativity.
Being a fruit machine, there isn’t any overarching storyline. The symbols contrast well with the background, even on much smaller screens. But that’s really where the audio and visual compliments end.
It’s safe to say that the Pragmatic Team didn’t really pour too much of their creativity into this title. The animations are largely forgettable, the music is annoying (we muted this almost immediately after starting our review) and even the big win animations leave a lot to be desired.
Features
Diamond Strike comes with some decent features that go some way in making up for the bland audio/visual experience. The game’s wild symbol is a Diamond and substitutes for all other symbols except for the Free Spin and Gold Seven symbols.
Bonus Game
Diamond Strike’s premier feature really is the Jackpot Bonus game. The symbol you’re looking out for here is the Golden Seven – this looks like the regular Seven symbol but with three diamonds at its base. Landing three of these on the reels triggers the bonus, with four Jackpots available:
- Mega Jackpot: 1000x your bet
- Major Jackpot: 100x your bet
- Minor Jackpot: 30x your bet
- Mini Jackpot: 10x your bet
During this feature, you must pick from 12 Diamond symbols. Once you match three of the jackpot symbols you will its corresponding jackpot.
Free Spins
Land the free spin symbol on reels one, three, and five to unlock eight free spins. This feature can theoretically be triggered infinitely. Before you can play your free spins, a breakaway screen shows a bunch of Diamond Wild symbols being added to the reels.
Paytable
Keep in mind that paytables will differ from casino to casino. We’re using the paytable for Hollywoodbets’ edition of Diamond Strike below.

Diamond Strike winning strategy
With medium volatility, it strikes a nice balance between risk and reward, so you’ll see frequent wins to keep the excitement going. But for those with deeper pockets, you may want to look for something with higher volatility. You’re really looking to trigger the Bonus Game or Free Game features when playing Diamond Strike.
Conclusion
If you can look past the lacklustre audio and visual components, then Diamond Strike by Pragmatic Play is a pretty attractive proposition if you don’t have the ammo to be playing for R50 a spin. The Fixed Jackpots in the Bonus Game and the Free Spin features make it worthwhile, especially for casual players.
