MENUDa Vinci Diamonds remains one of the most popular games ever released by IGT, so let’s take a closer look to see whether this artistic slot truly is a masterpiece. Of course, Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most celebrated artists of all time, with his enigmatic Mona Lisa probably the most famous painting on the planet. This game uses this and other famous works by Da Vinci to decorate the reels, along with three coloured gems and the max value diamonds from which the game takes its name. The reels are set up in standard 3 x 5 format, with a jewel encrusted gilt frame surrounding them.

The most notable feature of Da Vinci Diamonds – and quite possibly the reason for its enduring success – is the Tumbling Reels element. In common with other smash hit slots like Gonzo’s Quest and Big Bad Wolf, this is one feature which slot gamers love. When you hit a winning pay line the symbols disappear, with new symbols dropping in from above to replace them. This means that one spin can lead to multiple wins, if the right symbols keep tumbling onto the reels. The cost of a spin ranges from 20c all the way up to $500, so this game will suit players of varying bankrolls.

The bonus rounds open up in a new set of reels, and are unlocked when three or more Bonus symbols appear on consecutive reels from left to right. This will grant you six free spins, but you will have the possibility of re-triggering. In fact with Da Vinci Diamonds it is theoretically possible to re-trigger as many as 300 further free spins, which is quite some deal. During the bonus rounds you play on a different set of reels, where the diamonds and paintings are different, and where expensive pearls have been added to the mix. While the bonus rounds can take a while to arrive, they are most certainly worth waiting for, as this is where you can attempt to hit that max payout of 250,000 coins.

Da Vinci Diamond was originally a physical slot machine, and its exceptional popularity led to a smooth transition online. The graphics look a little dated when compared with modern video slots, but Da Vinci’s famous paintings have been rendered well and they have certainly stood the test of time. The Tumbling Reels feature is a sure-fire winner with slot gamers, it’s just a surprise that even more games don’t use this type of mechanics based on its popularity. The return to player is a rather disappointing 94.93%, but the low variance means that small wins will keep on coming. In summary, while it would be overly generous to call this slot game a masterpiece, it is most certainly a minor work of art.
