Diamond Monkey

Diamond Monkey Slot

Mythological slots are way too common these days, especially when big developers like NetENT and Microgaming have started to pay attention to the details of what fans want in the last five years.

But we have to admit it – almost every mythological slot is a pretty serious slot, asking players to immerse themselves in the story and characters, rather than letting them get what they really, really want from a slot – some solid entertainment.

Perhaps sensing this, Amatic released a slot called Diamond Monkey in 2013. It is one part mythological slot and one part classic video slot. This rare combination always keeps things light and casual, allowing players to have a good time without any complications and, of course, showering them with a consistent bounty of coins!

Silly Much? You Be the Judge!

While many players love the luxury of playing serious slots that are rich in graphics and features, there is no denying that just as many prefer to have a slot at their fingertips that is both entertaining and casual, and won’t leave them scratching their heads with head-scratching features and confusing ideas.

That’s why a slot like Diamond Monkey is often tipped by us to be popular, and when it is, it rarely comes as a surprise. Graphically, this slot has very little to offer. But whatever simple graphics are used are good enough to hold this slot together, not to mention the fun and catchy soundtrack that takes the whole gaming experience to a new level.

Another positive that comes from playing this slot is that it can be seamlessly continued across devices without losing your progress, as it is fully HTML5 enabled. So, play a little on your phone while commuting, and finish the spin when you get home on your laptop – the choice is yours, gentlemen!

Playing the Slot

Playing this slot machine is really a piece of cake. The gameplay is just like hundreds of classic slots that are available in abundance all over the web. So it’s much better for you to go into this one with very low expectations on that front to save yourself from disappointment.

There are 5 reels with 3 rows each. When you hit the activator, these reels go into a crazy spin and only stop when the allotted time runs out or when you choose to hit the STOP button. The symbols that appear on screen just as the reels come to a halt will decide how much of a boost you’ll get from your lucky stars. There are also 50 static paylines that you can activate with coins that cost as little as 1 cent. The reel to payline ratio – a great indicator of a slot’s winning potential – is 0.1 here, an excellent number to have at your disposal.

It is also reflected in the gaming experience. We have seen firsthand that combinations that can easily counter your bets are hit easily and consistently. Fair play, we say!

Not a Monkey Business!

The theme of the slot is the mythical Indian monkey god ‘Hanuman’. He is the chief orchestrator of this slot, and only through him will you be able to achieve some solid fame in the form of jackpots.

Various scatter symbols allude to the culture and mythology of India, with gems of various colors, elephants, royal palaces, golden chests, etc. making an appearance.

The highest paying scatter symbol is a royal palace. It pays up to 500 coins for five of its kind combinations. The jackpot symbol used here is a beautifully alluring diamond. For 3, 4 and 5 of its kind combinations, this diamond will give you the all-clear and free access to a stash of 60, 300 and 1,000 coins respectively. Now that is a serious jackpot! But wait – there’s something important we haven’t talked about yet!

The Hanuman Effect

The monkey god in question – Hanuman – is the wild symbol here. It can substitute for any regular symbol and usually pays 50 coins regardless of how many times it appears. However, with each Hanuman symbol you collect a free red gem. If you collect 25 such gems in a given session, you are in for a surprise treat that will shower you with coins and free credits!
