Three or more Diamond symbols that appear anywhere on the reels pay according to the paytable or pay a progressive jackpot if played with maximum coins and maximum lines.

Wins on different selected lines are all added to your balance.

The paytable lists the prizes for winning combinations; only the highest winning combination on each selected line is paid.

Diamond wins (three or more Diamond symbols anywhere in view) are added to wins, displayed in the winnings meter and added to game balance.

All prizes shown in the paytable are in coins.

The amount bet in Euros is displayed in the Bet meter and is the number of coins bet multiplied by the coin value multiplied by the number of lines selected.

The amount won in Euros is displayed in the Winnings meter and is the number of coins won multiplied by the coin value multiplied by the number of coins bet per line.

7.1.     Progressive Jackpots

Five or more Diamond symbols appearing anywhere on the reels at max bet (maximum number of coins) qualify for the Progressive Jackpot winnings. Any other type of bet (not max bet) pays according to the paytable.

With every bet, the base progressive jackpot value (the progressive pool) is increased with 0.5% of that bet and with 0.25% of that bet for the 8x and 9x diamond symbol jackpots.

Note: The base progressive value (progressive pool) is a value stored in Euros and it is associated to a coin value of 10 Euros (which may not be available for you to select in the game):

  • 5x diamond symbol – 20,000.00 seed + any 0.5% increments from all bets
  • 6x diamond symbol – 100,000.00 seed + any 0.5% increments from all bets
  • 7x diamond symbol – 200.000.00 seed + any 0.5% increments from all bets
  • 8x diamond symbol – 2,000,000.00 seed + any 0.25% increments from all bets
  • 9x diamond symbol – 5,000,000.00 seed + any 0.25% increments from all bets

The Progressive Jackpot counters display the progressive jackpot value for the currently selected coin value. The displayed jackpot value is proportional to the selected coin value and is a portion of the progressive pool, calculated depending on the currently selected coin value.

Note: The maximum available progressive is paid when playing with the maximum available coin value:

The Jackpot value is refreshed once every 3 seconds. Depending on the clients’ internet service provider as well as their hardware, server-to-client delays will vary from player to player and from message to message.

Between two successive refreshes of the Progressive Jackpot counter, it is possible for two or more players to win the jackpot in close succession. In this case, the first player that wins the Jackpot is awarded the Progressive Jackpot amount in full, while the subsequent winner is awarded the minimum guaranteed Progressive Jackpot, as well as 0.5% of the bets placed between the two successive Jackpot wins.
