At first glance Diamond Dogs from NetEnt may appear to be having an identity crisis – it draws ideas from the themes of animals, luxury lifestyle, and celebrity. All at once. The surprising thing is how refreshing this is. It really works! There are 2 Bonus rounds to enjoy, and all the usual slot features that make spinning to win a fun-filled pleasure.
Games
Diamond Dogs offers 5-reels, 3-rows, and 25 pay lines. It seems to offer a low-medium variance, appealing to players of all levels, especially those who like to see some regular payback for their spinning efforts. The main appeal of this slot is it’s wacky theme, which makes it stand out from the crowd and provides a creative diversion from many of the standard slots on offer. The Free Spins round is where the best potential lies.
Design
The sparkling reels set the tone for this gloriously glitzy slot, with diamonds twinkling from every corner of the screen. The ornate gold reel frame holds a sumptuous white background reminiscent of the padding in a jewellery box. This provides an excellent contrast for the glittering reel symbols, which include a fine complement of playing card icons set upon golden pendants. The higher paying symbols all speak of the imagined luxury life of a dog – a top-notch kennel, a VIP fire-hydrant-pee-stop, a champagne and steak-filled dog bowl, and a bone wrapped in a bow. Weird? Yes. Engaging? Definitely.
