- A fairly simple game with familiar features
- Step N Win allows you to increase diamond values
- A classic design that doesn’t stand out much
Stepping Diamonds slot comes from PlayNGo with a fairly traditional design with symbols like fruits, horseshoes and sevens. The background is neon and although it looks decent enough, it doesn’t stand out from the many others with this sort of design. The features don’t stand out much either, but we’ll come onto those later. You get 5 reels to play on with 3 rows, giving you a total of 20 paylines and you need a win from left to right with the base symbols.
Stepping Diamonds Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except Diamond symbols to help form winning combinations. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Wilds awards payouts of 2.5x, 12.5x, and 50x the stake, respectively.
Step ’N Win. Triggered when a Diamond symbol lands, the Step ’N Win feature uses a Step Meter above the reels, which stops on a number between 1 and 5. All Diamond symbols in view then have their values increased by the corresponding number on the Step Meter. The final value is paid out after the step increase. Only one Diamond symbol can land per spin, so multiple Step ’N Win triggers are not possible in a single spin.
Lock ’N Spin. Activated by landing 6 or more Diamond symbols anywhere on the reels, this feature starts with a 5×3 grid, increasing to a 5×4 or 5×5 grid when 7 or 8 Diamonds land. You are awarded 3 respins, and each new Diamond symbol that lands locks into place and resets the spin count to 3. The Step ’N Win feature is also active during Lock ’N Spin, allowing Diamond values to increase. Filling the grid awards the maximum 5 steps from the Step Meter, applying the step increase to all Diamond symbols in view.
Cash Pot Diamonds. Only available during the Lock ’N Spin feature, Cash Pot Diamonds can be upgraded. The values are:
- Mini Cash Pot: Starts at 20x and increases by 2x, up to 90x.
- Minor Cash Pot: Starts at 50x and increases by 5x, up to 200x.
- Major Cash Pot: Starts at 100x and increases by 10x, up to 350x.
- Grand Cash Pot: Starts at 500x and increases by 50x, up to 1,500x.
Conclusion
Stepping Diamonds slot from PlayNGo is a fairly simple slot with some familiar features, and it really only stands out thanks to the step n win feature which can increase the value of diamonds. It’s a nice touch, but I don’t think it’s enough to set this game apart. Everything else is fairly common like the lock n spin feature which offers jackpots up to 1,500x your stake, and the max win is a modest 4,000x. Combine this with a fairly basic design, especially for PlayNGo’s standards, and it’s a difficult one to recommend. It feels more like a filler game than one that tries to break boundaries and offer something more exciting. For other PlayNGo slots, you can read our review on Buildin’ Bucks slot here.
