Diamond Dogs is a slot machine where the dog is king, with various pups being its characters and acting as humans would. From the rich dog, to the paparazzi dog or any of the other characters, they are all part of this slot machine from Net Entertainment, where a life of luxury is described in the various symbols that are available here. There are diamonds and gold decorations everywhere you look, the design being good enough even for a human themed luxury slot game.
The 5 reels of Diamond Dogs are inhabited by up to 25 paylines, an above average number for this particular developer. They offer up to $20,000 in prizes, plus scatter symbols, free spins, bonus games and wilds as features.
Features of Diamond Dogs
You’re going to discover all the usual features in Diamond Dogs, including the wild, a scatter, free spins, multipliers and a bonus game. All these make it a solid game, even though there is nothing surprising on that list.
The dog that acts as the wild is actually wearing a solid gold necklace with a WILD pendant attached to it, not the most tasteful symbol of the slot. It does however award the biggest payouts, 10,000x being offered if you cover the entire payline with it. Even two wilds will be enough to give you some kind of prize though. While appearing on its own, the wild has the power to substitute for various other symbols, meaning that you should be able to make more money when it’s on the board, as long as its position is the right one.
The Scatter gives you the Lady Dog, a Chihuahua with a fur coat and pink sunglasses. As long as you have at least two scatters in some random position, you are going to get a prize from them. 2x the bet is the minimum value, for two scatters, while 100x the triggering bet is offered for five scatters.
Free Games Feature
Between 3 and 5 scatter symbols, in whatever position they appear, will be enough to give you 10 free spins and a 3x multiplier to triple all the prizes. This is in addition to the prizes that the scatter symbol will give you on its own.
Bonus Game
You’re also going to find the Diamond Dogs Logo on the screen at times, a bonus icon, but without a scatter role. It’s a regular symbol in that regard, with at least three of them needed on an active line in order to get into the bonus feature.
The bonus game gives you the opportunity to take photos of celebrity dogs, a dozen of them standing on a red carpet at some kind of movie premiere. You click on the dogs you want immortalized and Polaroid photos of them are taken, with prizes announced instantly. The bonus game ends when one of the photos you take is bad, with a paw blocking the shot.
Betting options and jackpots
The wagers you get to place in this slot are not that expensive, lines getting up to four coins of $0.50 each, with the largest bet going up to $50 (100 coins). The lowest denomination usable is at $0.01.
The payouts that are awarded by Diamond Dogs aren’t quite up to the luxury standard that the slot itself offers with its design, the best you can hope for being 40,000 coins, or $20,000. It’s the equivalent of 10,000x the line bet, more than a decent offer.
Design and symbols
It’s quite the luxurious game, more so than many other slot machines that claim to have this kind of theme. There is a lot of gold all around the reels, encrusted with gold and taking various shapes. It’s not something you can always say about a game that uses gold and diamonds heavily, but here it’s all tastefully done and it’s a pleasure to look at. The only one that is not tasteful is the wild symbol and the dog character with the gold necklace around his neck.
Symbols: Diamond Dog (wild, 10,000x), Paparazzi Dog (scatter), Lady Dog (scatter, 100x triggering bet), Dog House (600x), Fire Hydrant (240x), Steak & Champagne (240x), Rawhide Bone (120x), Ace (120x), King (90x), Queen (60x) and Jack (60x).
Is It Worth Playing?
Fans of dogs will love this game, though it could appeal just as well to anyone that simply enjoys gold and diamonds, as this slot has plenty of both. Add to it a more than decent prize and a good range of features, and I do believe we have a winner in this particular slot machine.
Diamond Dogs can be found at any Net Entertainment casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
