- Not the most impressive slot visually with an overused theme
- Jackpot bonus with rewards up to 1,000x
- Decent gameplay but nothing special here
Diamonds of Egypt slot from Pragmatic Play is one of their newer releases and it comes with a very familiar and overused theme which is a bit of a shame. It certainly doesn’t stand out from any other ancient Egypt-themed slot, but the graphics are nice enough and the reels are clear. What’s more important of course are the features and I’ll come onto these in detail shortly. There are 5 reels for you to play on with 3 rows each. In total, this gives you 88 pay lines. To get things going, you’ll need to spin the reels and try to get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are listed as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King or Ace
- Beetle
- Goblet
- Bracelet
- Rings
- Sphynx

Diamonds of Egypt Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. The wild symbol in this game is shown as an explorer. She substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter, but can only appear on reels 2,3 and 4.
Multiplier Wild. The multiplier wild symbol is shown as a chest and it too substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter. In addition to this, it has a multiplier on it of 5x, multiplying all wins it’s part of by this amount. It can only appear on reel 3.
Jackpot Bonus Game. This bonus can trigger as long as there is at least 1 wild symbol on the screen. It’s a pick me bonus, where you have to pick pots and reveal a jackpot behind each one. When you get 3 matching jackpots, that particular jackpot is awarded. There are 4 possible jackpots you can win: Mini which gives 10x your stake, Minor which gives 20x your stake, Major which gives 100x and Grand which gives 1,000x.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this you need 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on the screen at the same time, also giving you a modest cash reward. You’ll be given 8 free spins regardless of how many you land. During these, only the higher value symbols can land, those that don’t include the card values. You can also land scatters, giving you 8 more free spins without any limits to how often this can happen.
Conclusion
Diamonds of Egypt slot from Pragmatic Play is one of their lesser volatile game, somewhere around medium-high. As such, it does have a bit of a lower win potential at 2,500x but this seems about right. There are a few features the game offers including multiplier wilds at a fixed 5x, a jackpot bonus with prizes up to 1,000x and of course free spins which are definitely on the basic side, simply removing the low value symbols. I think they could have at least offered more free spins than 8 when you trigger it, and perhaps an additional feature, but it’s decent. I think that word sums up this slot nicely; there’s nothing too special about it but it’s not bad and does the job.
