The Diamond Double Slot Machine

Nothing has attracted the attention and desire of man like precious metals and stones. Many ascetic would be laughing at this trait, but it’s quite true that most of us are enthralled just by the prospect of having possession of such invaluable items.

Diamonds, when it comes to this sort of an attraction, rank right there at the top. Many wars have been waged, many love stories written, many tragedies scripted, many adventures undertaken and many legends born – just out of this desire to own a precious diamond or two.

It might be all but impossible for many of us to actually go out there and buy such things for ourselves – but that doesn’t mean we have to forgo the feeling of having it all! That’s why, The Diamond Double, an incredibly suave looking slot designed and developed by SkillOnNet, has become such a hot property in last two years!

A Simple Deal or a Deceptive Web?

Diamonds, as we all have heard and read umpteen number of times, are forever. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why they are such a sought after commodity. That, perhaps, has also prompted many slot developers – small and big – to regularly come up with slots with diamonds placed quite carefully at the focus of all attention.

You can safely count The Diamond Double among this slew of diamond themed slots. A reason for this is that SkillOnNet has made much too little efforts to actually try and make the slot stand out from the crowd of other mediocre counterparts. That’s why, The Diamond Double – despite occasionally promising big – never really manages to rise above the par, and make the stage all its own, much like NetEnt's failed bid in the gem genre, Dazzle Me.

In terms of appearances, it has got quite a few things going on for it, though. As soon as you load the game, you are taken by the incredibly bright background featuring shining, red-hot diamonds. If that’s not enough to set the mood, the sound score of this slot – a strange fusion of soothing classical music and catchy techno beats – takes the playing experience to a whole new level.

But quite sadly, that’s just about it as far as The Diamond Double is concerned. The rest of the deal just keeps going downhill somehow, eventually leaving the players reeling – more because of the promise it made eventually, than because of its failure to deliver.

What to do with so Many Diamonds?

That’s the question you will end up asking yourself if you don’t know how to handle these precious items carefully and diligently. To be able to do so, however, you will need to have a fair bit of understanding of the gameplay that this slot features.

We will be upfront regarding a number of issues here. First of all, The Diamond Double (5 reels and only 3 reels) is not the kind of slot you should turn to if your sole aim is to make the most of seed wagers you have and turn them into something substantially big (in terms of profits).

The Diamond Double is also not the kind of slot that would keep you transfixed with all the adrenaline-gushing action on the screen. It lacks immersive gameplay and it certainly isn’t a character driven slot.

It would only be fair, then, if you end up asking us who it is really designed for. We can only think of one answer – the amateurs. In all probability – although the developers shy away from marginalizing their slots by assigning them to a niche – The Diamond Double has been specially designed for those who lack slotting experience, and those who wish to have the amazing feel that real-deal iGaming bring about.

The modus operandi in such cases has to be that of a feeler, rather than a player. Just have a feel of the slot, see the kind of wagers it accepts (2 cents to $10 per coin, with maximum coins allowed being 3) and the range in which it pays out (up to 3,000 coins – that is, up to $30,000).

The base game jackpot might seem to be a great opportunity, but it only makes sense that it’s much too improbable to reach that mark.

Diamond Doesn’t Sparkle

Without the luxury of a single special symbol or feature (no wilds, no scatters, no bonuses, no gamble options, no multipliers), the gameplay in The Diamond Double is quite monotonous and for the want of a euphemism, boring, better to be playing one of the more interesting SkillOnNet slots like High Gear.

The only positive here is that the slot looks positively fabulous and inviting.
