Diamond Cascade Slot Features

An intricate structure made of stone and metal holds a 5x5 grid that awards payouts for matching at least 3 symbols on any of the 40 pay lines. All qualifying combinations must begin from the leftmost reel and continue rightwards along neighboring columns. Regular prizes range from 0.1 to 1 time the bet for hits on low-value gems, while premium icons recognized by their golden outline pay between 0.2 and 20 times. A traditional Wild symbol is available on reels 2 through 4 and will substitute for all regular ones during win evaluation.

Color Tumble

Each symbol lands with a solid background color: green, blue, purple, or gold. After normal wins are paid out, any color that has formed a cluster of at least 5 positions will disappear together with the overlaying symbols and contribute to a multiplier meter. For every 20 instances collected, a random value from a predefined set will either be added to the multiplier or multiply it.

• Possible added values: 1x - 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 50x.
• Possible multiplying values: 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x.

When no more regular wins and color clusters are possible to create, the total win from the sequence will be multiplied by the total accumulated multiplier.

Diamond Cascade Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5+ Scatters in a single spin or accumulating them over the course of one cascading sequence activates 15 free spins plus grants an instant prize of 2, 5, or 15 times the bet. During the bonus, the multiplier meter is persistent and doesn't reset between individual rounds. Scoring 3, 4, or 5 Scatters again awards 5, 10, or 15 additional spins.

Final Thoughts

Pragmatic Play is a provider known for an exceptionally high game release tempo, which gives the studio an opportunity to test various ideas in a short period of time. It's no secret that many games don't hold for too long, but from time to time, creative producer minds spawn a slot like Diamond Cascade, which has a high chance of making a difference. Despite relying on one core mechanism, the game instantly shows an innovative spark that introduces an extra layer of excitement, literally. It's no longer all about the symbols forming into lines, ways, or clusters. Now, you need to also pay attention to the underlying colors that charge the multiplier and boost your final win. On top of that, the feature seems to be very well-balanced because when it kicks in, it hardly ever ends without a multiplier. That's the thing about innovation. It's not only about adding it into the game but also making it attractive and engaging, which Diamond Cascade unquestionably does.

Having two essential elements in a single cell (the symbol and the color) also requires a clean artistic approach not to confuse the players. Designers from Pragmatic Play tackled that side competently as well since the presentation doesn't create any issues. The choice of colors on gems and backgrounds seems well thought-through, as even the same hues of stones and backplates in the same cell look perfectly readable. Aside from these details, it's an overall classic art direction for this provider, with nicely polished symbols and a pleasant, bright environment.
