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

Get ready to blast off into space with Play’n GO’s latest hexagonal grid video slot, Diamond Vortex. Following the success of their previous release, Honey Rush, it’s no surprise that they’ve chosen to ride the wave of this popular format.

Diamond Vortex takes players on a cosmic adventure through its innovative grid-slot layout, which features three concentric circles that constantly shift and transform symbols as players achieve cascading wins. Keep an eye out for special Zones and Spots that trigger exciting features like free spins and symbol transformations.

The Core Wild Vortex, located in the center of the grid, is the star attraction of this game, guaranteeing at least one Wild on every spin. And if any additional wilds appear on screen, they will be absorbed by this powerful bonus feature, increasing your total winnings.

Bonus Features

Diamond Vortex boasts a unique 4-5-6-7-6-5-4 grid formation similar to Honey Rush but with a new space-themed backdrop. With bet sizes ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin and compatibility across multiple devices, this game offers an impressive 96.20% RTP (although this may vary depending on the version). As always, make sure to double check in-game specifications before placing your bets for the best results.

Keep an eye on the Zones and Spots as they mark the different rings of the grid. While Zones remain fixed at the top of each ring, Spots rotate from bottom to top until a winning sequence is achieved. Triggering a win will activate the Rotate feature, causing the innermost ring to move clockwise, middle ring to move counter-clockwise, and outer ring to move clockwise again. Non-winning symbols will shift with their respective rings while new symbols appear in empty spaces created by disappearing winning combinations.

But that’s not all – Diamond Vortex also features two types of Wilds: Core and Sticky. The Core Wild sits at the center of the grid while Sticky Wilds can appear in cascades. Whenever a Sticky Wild is part of a winning combination, it will jump to an inner ring closer to the Core Wild with each subsequent win.

Scatters and Payouts

As you continue playing and consuming more Sticky Wilds, you’ll eventually reach the Core Wild which triggers Consume – a special feature that doubles your multiplier for each consumed Sticky Wild up to a maximum of 20x! And don’t worry if you start a new game – your multiplier will reset back to x1 total stake.

The Spots can also reach the Zones, triggering the Transform feature which, as the name suggests, transforms all symbols in the nearest ring into matching pay symbols. And in case you’re lucky enough to trigger this feature during a bonus round, the Spots will not reset between spins, allowing for even bigger payouts.

And speaking of bonus rounds, Diamond Vortex offers a generic free spin feature which is activated when a bonus symbol reaches a Zone and awards players with five free spins. During these spins, Spots will not return to their starting position between rounds. So keep spinning and watch your winnings soar!
