Paylines
5 Fixed Paylines
Count the gems above the reel frame. Three of them handle the everyday work in Playson’s Hold and Win catalogue, and the fourth, that gold monster blazing behind the other three, is why this release got a new number in its title. Below all that? Pub furniture. Cherries, plums, a gold BAR, a bell, and a red seven that doubles as the wild.
The spinning part is deliberately plain. Five reels, three rows, 5 fixed paylines, wins from the left only. Bell, BAR and the red seven share the top rung at 50x for five in a row, melon and grapes pay 25x, and the four small fruits manage 10x. Diamonds drop in here too, and they pay absolutely nothing while they do it. Watching a diamond marked 3.00 sit on the reels while the win counter stays at zero feels wrong the first few times, but that’s the design: down here they’re triggers, not prizes. The wild won’t help either, since it substitutes everything except diamonds.
Bring a coloured one in and the Bonus Game opens with six diamonds already placed and three respins that reset on every fresh landing. Colour decides the toy. Multi scatters a fixed x2, x3 and x5 onto empty cells, and once the board tightens up those multipliers start landing on each other and adding together. Collect sweeps every diamond value on screen into itself. Charge opens six hidden cells and swallows whatever’s inside. Fill all fifteen positions and the Grand pays 3,000x.
The gold one changes the shape of the thing. A Super Diamond only ever lands in the main game, and when it triggers, the grid stretches from 5×3 to 5×5 with the triggering diamonds frozen in place. Twenty-five cells now, the Super Diamond itself worth 7x to 10x, and a full board pays the 10,000x Super Jackpot instead of your collected values. So 10,000x is the ceiling? Actually, no. Maximum win is 15,000x the bet, and plenty of write-ups got that one wrong.
Two paid shortcuts exist: Extra Bet at 1.5x stake for better trigger odds, and a 100x buy that hands you a random feature mix. Worth flagging the weak spot, though. RTP is 95.70%, under the usual 96% mark, and the info panel doesn’t print it anywhere.
