It doesn’t matter how many years seem to pass; online casino players can’t seem to get enough of classic slots. However, part of the increase in popularity of classic slots comes down to evolution. Like all aspects of the online gambling industry, classic slots have been forced to evolve to fit players’ needs.
This week, the evolution of classic slots goes one step further, as ELK Studios unveils its most advanced classic slot yet, in Vegas Diamonds.
A Classic Slot Like No Other
Think of any classic slot, and we can bet that you imagine 3 reels and just a handful of paylines. Well, the new Vegas Diamonds slot isn’t any different in that regard. It offers up only 5 lines spread over 3 reels. However, in its other features, the new game is near revolutionary in what it offers.
Vegas Diamonds is costly at 20p a spin, but it comes jam-packed with the sorts of features we would more commonly associate with video slots. Amidst the classic fruit and bar symbols, there are multiplier wilds. These can appear on the first and third reels and can dish out wins worth 2x up to 5x the standard rate of pay for any winning combination in which they play a part.
Landing matching icons on the first two reels will trigger a Perfect Match Re-spin bonus. This re-spin feature gives players one more attempt to land that match-winning third symbol on the third reel. There is also a Vegas Diamonds Nudge bonus, and if players are missing one of the diamond icons (the most valuable in the game), this could offer them the chance to bag it and win.
Fortune Wheels Favour the Bold
Also present in the new game is a Fortune Wheel feature. Three bonus icons are required to trigger it. The bonus offers players a spin on a 3-tiered wheel. Arrows advance you to the next innermost wheel, where you can win anything up to 1,000x your total bet or even free spins. In that bonus, 5x multipliers are applied to any wins you land.
Vegas Diamonds Does the Rounds at Tunf
With so many features, Vegas Diamonds is one of the most advanced classic slots yet to debut in the online casino world. Players can find out more about this slot and find a nifty ELK Studios casino to play the game at when visiting Tunf today.
