Pampered pooches, diamond dog collars and golden bones? This K9 caper from NetEnt features Wilds, Scatters and a Celebrity Photo Shoot Bonus Game!
Diamond Dogs™ Overview
A slot game based on some blinged up dogs? Ok so let’s try and wrap our head around that one. The theme of this game is basically a bunch of celebrity dogs with an overtly blingy feel. So I guess if you like dogs and bling then this game is for you!
It’s a bit of a bonkers game but there are some good features, and it has a big jackpot potential so worth a look for sure.
Game Design
These pampered pooches have a palatial game board adorned with golden glitzy crowns and dog collars. The reel set up is 5×3, and the game has 25 paylines.
So let’s talk about those symbols. There is a whole lot going on here, and the symbols vary drastically from the various celebrity dogs to golden bones, gem-encrusted dog collars, VIP water hydrants (for a posh pee we’re guessing!), dog tags, doggy dinners fit for a King Charles Spaniel and palatial dog houses!
A quick glance at the paytable tells us that the dog house and water hydrant are two of the most valuable symbols. Other symbols to watch for are the Chihuahua Scatter which can trigger the free spins feature and a decent multiplier, the Rottweiler Wild and the Paparazzi Dog which will trigger the Celebrity Photo Shoot Bonus Game!
The background sound effects are fairly unobtrusive however it does give off a bark each time you hit the spin button which can get a little annoying or is that just me? You can easily turn off the sound effects and background effects if you wish though.
Game Controls
Diamond Dogs has 25 paylines and four bet levels so you can adjust how many you want to play at any one time.
You will want to find the bet level and coin value to suit your budget, you can actually play from just £0.01, but that will activate just one payline so unlikely to reap any rewards fr
om that any time soon. Find a happy medium and stick with it and don’t be tempted to get carried away and go over budget. The maximum bet is £50 based on bet level 4, 25 pay lines and a coin value of £0.50.
Game Features
Diamond Dogs has really milked the theme with dazzling symbols, and VIP doggy treats, so what’s in it for us players? Here is a rundown of the game’s main features:
- Rottweiler Wild – this fearsome looking symbol is the Wild and substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and Bonus symbol. Get a winning combination of five of these for 400x your stake!
- Chihuahua Scatter – find yourself with 3 or more scatters and you’ll secure yourself either 4x, 25x or 100x your stake plus you’ll also be awarded 10 Free Spins
- Free Spins – you’ll be issued with 10 free spins at the start of the feature which can also be re-triggered to give a possible 20 free spins. All free spins winnings are trebled with a 3x multiplier.
- Celebrity Photo Shoot Bonus Game – the bonus game is triggered by 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols (appears as the paparazzi dog) on an active payline. You’ll be whisked away to the red carpet where you’ll be invited to take some photos of the pampered pooches. Click on a dog to take its photo which in turn will reveal a cash prize based on the quality of your photo. A blurry image will end the feature. The number of shots you get to take is determined by the number of bonus symbols you secured in the main game.
