Diamond Mine 2 Megaways

Six main reels sit beneath a horizontally spinning bonus reel in Diamond Mine 2 Megaways, Blueprint Gaming's follow-up to the original Diamond Mine Megaways. Rock faces, cacti and a mine entrance fill the background under an open blue sky, with a banjo score running through the base game and the bonus rounds alike.

Reel heights change on every spin, which pushes the number of ways to win up toward a maximum of 117,649. A win clears the winning symbols from the grid and drops replacements down from above, repeating for as long as new combinations keep landing. Card values nine through ace fill out the low end of the paytable; the premium tier groups a pickaxe-and-shovel pairing with a lantern and a prospector character, and the diamond icon sits apart from them by needing only two in view to pay rather than three. Six matching card symbols return 1x to 1.5x the stake, six premiums pay 2x to 50x, and a dynamite Wild rides the top reel, substituting into any regular-paying combination it touches.

TNT barrels serve as the mystery symbol: whenever one lands, every barrel showing on the grid switches to match a single randomly chosen regular symbol, though never a scatter. Landing three or more scatters opens a choice between two bonus paths. The count that lands, anywhere from three up to seven, sets what's on offer either way: a free spin total rising from 8 up to 24, or a Golden Guarantee multiplier target for the Gold Spins path instead, climbing from 5x up to 15x. Scatters only appear on the main six reels during the base game; once a bonus round starts, they move to the top reel exclusively.

A gamble wheel is offered before either round begins, letting players risk their starting award for a shot at as many as 30 free spins outright. Inside Free Spins, a multiplier opens at 1x and rises by 1 after each cascade, and a further three or four scatters landing mid-round add 5 or 10 extra spins on top. Gold Spins runs on the same climbing multiplier, adding 1x per reaction and continuing to spin until it catches up with the Golden Guarantee, a target that itself creeps higher every time another scatter appears.

Diamond Mine 2 Megaways carries a medium-to-high volatility rating, hits on roughly one spin in four, and takes bets from 0.10 up to 10. RTP is set at 95% by default, with a 93% configuration also available, and the maximum win caps at 10,000x the stake. Blueprint released the game on 26 July 2023.
