Diamond Mine
Diamond Mine is a clever instant win game that combines the best elements of an online scratchcard with the excitement of a slots game to create something truly unique. At first glance the Jackpotjoy game looks like many other scratchcard games, with the main card showing a grid of nine scratch panels, but the grid has been tilted by 45 degrees so that is has a diamond shape. However, that isn’t the thing that makes the Diamond Mine scratchcard game unique. What makes it different to most other nine panel scratchcards is the fact that you don’t actually scratch the panels to reveal the symbols hidden underneath – you spin them!
We can best describe each panel as a single slot machine reel, where just one symbol is visible. Click on a panel and the reel spins vertically, just as a slot machine reel would spin. The Diamond Mine game also makes the same kind of sounds that a slot machine would make when you click the panel. This might not seem like a very big deal to casual scratchcards players, but those of us who play online scratchcards day after day really do appreciate such innovations in the way that games are presented to us.
The aim of this game is to click on each panel to set the associated reel spinning. When the reel comes to rest it will show a symbol. Get three matching symbols in a line – vertically, horizontally or diagonally – and you win a cash prize. There are seven symbols that appear in the game (all precious stones) and each one pays a different amount. The name Diamond Mine refers to the fact that diamonds offer the biggest prize – which is 1,000 times your stake.
Many players will be more than happy to click each of the nine Diamond Mine panels individually, but if you want your Diamond Mine experience to feel more like playing a slot machine than a scratchcard game you should press the Spin All button. This will set all of the reels spinning one after the other automatically, and as well as saving you quite a few clicks it makes the slots aspect of the game become even more apparent.
Whether you are a traditionalist who wants to view each of the panels as a regular scratchcards panel, or a player who would enjoy a more modern slots approach to winning cash prizes, Diamond Mine combines the best of both worlds. Of course, the only way to truly appreciate how this combination works is to play for yourself!
