I’ve played several slots by Crazy Tooth Studio, and their simple controls have always impressed me. The vertical command panel is in the bottom-right area of the screen (as it usually is) and has almost all the buttons you’ll need. The spin button is just below it.
Use the spin button to start playing Diamond Force. You can keep pressing it to spin manually or press the autoplay button to set up automatic spins instead. Remember to monitor your balance using autoplay mode, as losing track is easy.
The quick spin button activates faster gameplay, and the button featuring casino chips above it is used to open the stake selection screen. Finally, tap the menu button at the panel's top to access the paytable. This covers all the symbol values and bonuses, so it’s worth checking out.
Diamond Force has ten symbols, including four superheroes, four royals, a Bonus Scatter, and a Wild. The superhero symbols are the most interesting visually. There’s a woman in a blue costume, a massive man with diamond skin, a more petite man in a red costume, and a man with artificial wings. I found it easy to spot which well-known superheroes had inspired the Diamond Force, and I’m sure many of you will, too.
The 3x1 superhero symbols are the biggest in the game, and they all award the same prizes: land 5 in a combination to win 0.2x your bet. That’s a tiny payout for the top symbols.
The jack, queen, king, and ace pay even less: get 5 to win just 0.1x your bet—the Wild symbol substitutes for other symbols (except the Bonus Scatter). Land multiple Bonus Scatters to trigger the Team-Up Bonus Spins.
As with most slots, you must match three, four, or five symbols on adjacent reels to win. But with 1,024 winning ways, Diamond Force allows combinations anywhere — they don’t need to start from the leftmost reel as they often do in slots. Wild symbols can stand in for any paying symbols, which makes it easier to line up wins.
Diamond Force has two bonus features, and I appreciated that they both make good use of the superhero concept. Crazy Tooth Studio’s trademarked Team-Up ReelsTM engine powers the bonuses, which unite the four heroes to award bigger payouts.
Land three or more fully stacked superhero symbols (each filling an entire reel) to trigger the Team-Up feature. You can match three of the same superhero symbols or a combination of different ones.
The triggering symbols will form a new grid with only superhero symbols. These carry specific prizes or win x2, x3, or x5 multipliers. The feature covers just one spin, and any prizes will be awarded before you go back to the base game.
You'll trigger the Team-Up Bonus Spins if you land two or more stacked superhero symbols and the Bonus Scatter on reel five simultaneously. The layout will change: only the reels with stacked symbols will remain, and you’ll win three free spins.
Prizes and multipliers can appear in this feature, and you may win extra free spins (up to a maximum of 20). You'll return to the base game when you run out of spins.
Diamond Force offers a great max win of 13,175x your bet. However, the standard symbol values are so low that winning such a high prize seems incredibly unlikely. Fortunately, the bonus features' multipliers can help bump your payouts.
The 96.3% theoretical Return to Player (RTP) for Diamond Force is much higher than the average for a slot (96%). The volatility is also high, unsurprising when the potential max payout is as good as it is. But the bigger payouts are unlikely to come as often as the smaller ones, especially with such tiny symbol values.
Diamond Force has a robust design inspired by comic-book artwork. The superheroes are a little generic, as it’s an all-new team created just for this slot. You won’t find Superman or the Incredible Hulk here, but these new characters still look good on the reels.
Exciting animations show the Diamond Force in action when the bonuses trigger. The background features an anonymous metropolis, with hundreds of plain buildings clustered together. The music is energetic and triumphant, which suits the superhero theme.
If you’re in the mood for superheroes, try our Diamond Force demo to meet the team for free. There’s no need to bet real money until you’re ready to play the full version of the game. With our free demo, you can play for as long as you like with plenty of virtual credits. Try the base game and both bonuses without risk.
You have a diverse range if you want to play other slots featuring heroic characters and graphics with a comic-book style.
Agent Jane Blonde Returns has an action-packed style and visuals that could be taken from a comic book. She might not have superpowers or a cape, but Jane is still heroic and capable of amazing spying.
Robin Hood isn’t a superhero but a folk hero known for taking on the good guys and helping people in need. Robin of Sherwood has fun graphics, larger-than-life characters, and multiple bonuses.
And last but not least, let’s talk about Bruce Lee. The late actor moulded himself into a real-life superheroic figure (physically, at least) with unbelievable combat skills and prowess. WMS’s slot offers wins of more than 4,000 your bet and free spins.
Diamond Force is a solid slot overall, but it could be improved in several areas. The main problem is the low symbol values, with just 0.2x your bet awarded for five high symbols. That makes reaching bigger payouts, particularly the generous top prize, seem unbelievable.
Another idea to improve Diamond Force would be to add a storyline, character names, or even a couple of villains for the team to take on. That might not affect the gameplay, but it could create a more engaging and exciting experience.
The Team-Up Reels engine works well, and the bonuses can help make the tiny winnings a little better.
