Microgaming launched Diamond Inferno, the latest online slot developed exclusively by Triple Edge Studios.

The game starts as a five-by-three, 20-payline slot filled with fiery graphics and intuitive gameplay. Diamond Inferno raises the heat with a multiplier trail, expanding reels, respins and diamond scatter wins.

On each win, a free respin is awarded as the play area expands by one row, adding ten additional paylines with each expansion. Diamond Inferno can expand up to an astonishing five-by-six reel grid with 50 paylines. Each win offers the chance for a bigger reel set and even greater win potential.

Once the entire five-by-six reel grid is unlocked, players embark on Diamond Inferno’s epic multiplier trail. A rocking soundtrack sets the reels ablaze as players reach the pinnacle of the inferno with wins multiplied up to 10x.

Filled with classic casino icons, including fiery sevens, golden bars and lucky dice, Diamond Inferno comes packed with diamond scatters. Landing three or more diamond scatter symbols awards players with further wins, all multiplied by the total bet. As the reels open up, so does the chance to land these valuable gems.

Ahead of Diamond Inferno’s network-wide release, Microgaming held its first exclusive operator tournament, providing Betsson Group staff with the opportunity to experience the game and battle it out for a top spot on the Diamond Inferno leaderboard for a chance to win fiery cash prizes. Matthias Wachter, one of the tournament winners, described the game as “very exciting”, adding: “With every spin, I was excited to go all the way up to the multipliers. The Diamond feature is simply awesome, as you can make big wins. Also, the respin feature is a great idea – personally I think that this feature is better than a bunch of free spins. Overall awesome game!”

Set the reels on fire with Diamond Inferno, now available exclusively to Microgaming operators.

“With exciting mechanics, rocking music and a thrilling gameplay experience, Diamond Inferno is sure to delight and excite players. The expanding reels, multiplier trail and unlimited respin potential offer the chance for tremendous wins, whilst the eye-catching graphics provide all the makings of a hit slot game.” – Andrew Booth, Director of Games at Microgaming.

Booming Games has released its latest slot “Diamond Forge: Link & Loot”. Boasting a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, the game offers players a maximum win potential of 10,000x. Set on a classic, diamond background, two explosive bonus features provide the ultimate experience for those seeking entertaining gameplay.

Every Diamond collected charges the Diamond Boost, which can be triggered in either the base game or from free spins. Boasting the ability to erupt at any moment, it can award up to 8 extra Diamonds onto the reels to instantly trigger the powerful Link & Loot feature. Players who collect 6 or more Diamonds are awarded 5 Link & Loot spins, where adjacent diamond symbols land and merge to create bigger symbols.

Players can create Colossal symbols of 2×2 and above to award a Colossal spin, where they can win higher value prizes or even the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Prizes. This culminates in the ultimate Colossal of 5×3 Diamonds capable of unleashing the biggest rewards.

Elsewhere, players who find 3 or more Scatters are awarded with 8 Free Spins and a boosted chance of triggering the Link & Loot feature again as they deploy colossal Diamonds toward the 10,000x maximum win.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Diamonds are a player’s best friend! Diamond Forge: Link & Loot is a modern twist on a classic theme, which we’re confident will be as popular as previous iterations of the Link & Look series.
