Tom Horn offers great simple online slots, such as the Diamond Hill reviewed today. Each of their games has something to it. The Diamond Hill online slot will wow you right from the start with its modern flat visuals, asymmetrical reels, and then a cool Wild symbol. There's not much to criticize.
The Game’s visuals
It's been a long time since we've stopped playing an online slot machine, stopped the reels, and just explored the background, or rather the template behind the reels, for fun. We did this a few times while playing Diamond Hill. The background is a beautiful image of a wild landscape, created in a modern flat design with a natural movement effect, which creates a truly unique and very pleasant impression. However, we think that the unsuccessful game screen or the graphics of the reels, including the symbols, are all the more contrasting. Some pseudo-3D effects of diamonds with a different color palette combined with a beautiful template seemed strange and out of place. In addition, all symbols except the Wild symbol have exactly the same diamond skin, differing only in color. We understand that players won't mind, but we think it's missed potential to create one of the most beautiful online slots. But we praise the music and sound effects, they do not interfere, on the contrary, they gently and unobtrusively complete the atmosphere radiating from the background design.
Basic game properties
The gameplay of the Diamond Hill slot machine doesn't disappoint either. We have already mentioned that this is an asymmetric slot. There might be 5 reels but the number of rows changes. The first and last reels have only one row, the second and fourth reels have three rows, and the middle, or third reel, has four rows. You can see something similar in e-gaming's Frozzy Fruits online slot or NetEnt's Dazzle Me, for example. We're happy for any change from the beaten track, and we enjoy these unorthodox slot machines, especially when they offer 36 winning lines. Fixed, but still 36.
Despite the uneven number of rows on the reels, the principle of play remains well-known. The reels are spinning, and it is best for you if, after the reels have finished spinning, there are at least 3 of the same symbol chained on any of the winning lines. Clearly, it is best if there are five of the same symbol. Then the payouts are higher.
We have to say that we also like the controls of the Diamond Hill online slot. Both in terms of design (why doesn't the playing surface look like this?) and functionality. You control the game from the bottom of the screen. There is an Options section in the menu where we would expect some advanced functionality, but the only thing you can do there is to start turbo mode. Otherwise, everything is available just below the playing area. You can set the bet amount and use the +/- buttons to select the value. You can then start the manual spin or autoplay. To enable Autoplay, set the number of rounds to be played automatically and then click the Start button. If you want to place the highest possible bet, you do not have to do so via the plus button, but you can use the separate Max Bet button.
Bonus features of the slot machine
Wild symbols in Tom Horn Gaming games deserve their own article. We were already singing odes to it on the 243 Crystal Fruits slot machine. And this time the authors were creative in designing the Wild symbol.
First of all, the Wild symbol is the only bonus symbol in the game. But trust us, it's quite enough. It only shows up on reels 1 and 5. In addition to functioning as a completely classic Joker, it has other bonus features.
Let's start with multiplication. The Wild symbol is also a multiplier, which, if it helps form a winning combination, then multiplies the win by a randomly selected multiplier from x1 to x9. That's already great, but if there are two Wilds, they both multiply the win. And that eighteen times the prize is already a super catch.
That’s not all, there’s also the respin. If the Wild is part of a winning combination, the symbols from it will remain frozen on the board and the other symbols will get a free respin. If you manage to extend or spin a new combination in the next spin, you will get another respin.
What do you think? It's good, isn't it? For such a simple slot as Diamond Hill, this is a pretty well-done job with the bonuses.
Rating the Diamond Hill Slot
We were very pleasantly surprised by the Diamond Hill online slot. It suited us visually, albeit with comments, but also gameplay-wise. We enjoyed the original Wild symbol and felt really comfortable while playing. We definitely recommend you try the Diamond Hill slot machine. And if you're still not sure whether to play Tom Horn Gaming's games, you can also try them for free, for example on your mobile.
