Da Vinci Diamonds Slot (IGT)

The Da Vinci Diamonds slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and it has 20 paylines. Wins come from matching 3, 4 or 5 symbols which start on the leftmost reel.

Bets for this game start at 20p and go up to £200. You can use the left and right buttons button to adjust your bet amount on desktop and the green arrow button on mobile. Non-UK players can utilise the Autoplay function, which can go up to 20 spins.

 The RTP rate is 94.94%, which is below the online average of 96%, but it is above the land casino average of 94%, which is where this game originated. You’ll find a volatility rating of low to medium and the maximum win is 5,000 times the bet.

Mona Lisa, the world’s most famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci,  takes centre stage in the Da Vinci Diamonds slot game. If you've ever visited The Louvre in Paris to see the Mona Lisa, you'll know it's a sight to behold! This game captures a gallery-like atmosphere, featuring other renowned Da Vinci works from the Renaissance, such as The Lady with an Ermine and Portrait of a Musician.

Being an older slot, it lacks music or an immersive soundtrack, relying instead on traditional slot sounds such as symbols clunking into place. Wins are marked by sounds reminiscent of a Vegas casino. Incidentally, this game has been in land casinos since 2006 and has stood the test of time, which speaks volumes.

The game takes place inside a golden frame with diamonds and other precious gemstones, as well as in the Da Vinci classic paintings. 

Here is what you’ll discover on the reels:

• Yellow Gemstone: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1 or 4 x bet
• Green Gemstone: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1.5 or 5 x bet
• Red Gemstone: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1.5 or 5 x bet
• Painting - The Lady with the Ermine: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 3 or 15 x bet
• Painting - Portrait of a Musician: 3, 4 or 5 = 1.5, 4 or 25 x bet
• Painting - Mona Lisa: 3, 4 or 5 = 2.5, 10 or 50 x bet
• Da Vinci Diamonds Logo: 3, 4 or 5 = 5, 25 or 250 x bet
• Bonus: 3 trigger Free Spins Bonus feature
• Wild: Substitutes for all symbols above
  
  

Da Vinci Diamonds Mobile

Even though it is an older game, the Da Vinci Diamonds slot is built using HTML5 technology, ensuring a seamless gaming experience across all devices. Whether you’re playing on Android, iOS, tablet, or desktop, you’ll enjoy smooth gameplay.

There are 2 bonus features to enjoy when spinning: The Tumbling Reels and Free Spins features, which I’ll explain below:

Free Spins Bonus

Landing 3 bonus symbols triggers the Free Spins Bonus feature, where you're rewarded with 6 free spins. During the feature, if you trigger more bonus symbols, this will lead to more free spins. 

• 3 Bonus symbols awards 2, 3 or 4 extra free spins
• 4 Bonus symbols award 4, 6, 8 or 10 extra free spins
• 5 Bonus symbols award 6, 8, 10, 12 or 15 extra free spins
  
  The maximum number of free spins you can get on Da Vinci Diamonds is an impressive 300 free spins.

Tumbling Reels 

When you land a winning combination on the reels, the winning symbols disappear from the grid, and new symbols appear from above. This process repeats until there are no more winning combinations, which increases your chances of landing a win with all of the successive spins.

I must admit, I have a soft spot for older Las Vegas-style games like the Da Vinci Diamonds slot – perhaps it’s the nostalgia of a casino experience. Further spinoff games have followed in the footsteps of this famous slot game, including Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play and Da Vinci Diamonds Masterworks. 

While the design feels dated, I find that part of its charm, especially with the sparkling gemstone visuals set against a black backdrop – perhaps it appeals to the magpie in me! Plus, showcasing Da Vinci’s artwork in a slot game is always a win.

The two bonus features were nice and simple which is sometimes what you're in the mood for. The Tumbling Reels are always a big plus in my books and this was IGT’s first foray into this feature, kickstarting a long line of popular Tumbling Reels games. The fact that they’re active during the Free Spins feature creates an excellent combination for potential wins.

Speaking of Free Spins, it’s all about collecting additional spins. You could theoretically earn up to 300 extra spins, although this is rare.  The RTP of 94.94% might seem lower than average, but it aligns with typical land-based casino games.

 With low-to-medium volatility, wins come frequently enough, and the maximum payout of 5,000x your bet feels reasonable.

Our very own Chris Taylor recently spoke with IGT PlayDigital’s Phil O’Toole about the creation of new slots and IGT’s most popular games. Cleopatra, another land-based classic, remains one of their best-loved online slots alongside Da Vinci Diamonds.

Some cracking slot games started life in land casinos and have been brought online. You should check out Novomatic’s classic releases Lord of the Ocean, Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe and Book of Ra Delux.

If you never played Da Vinci Diamonds, it’s worth a spin due to being such a classic. It scores a 4.5 out of 5.
