Diamond Vortex

Play'n GO shapes Diamond Vortex around a hexagonal board rather than a standard reel set, arranging cells in a 4-5-6-7-6-5-4 pattern across seven columns and setting the action against a swirling space nebula.

Wins form through clusters: six or more matching symbols connected together clear from the board and let new symbols drop in to replace them, with separate matching clusters that aren't touching each other paying out individually. Low-value symbols are four single coloured rock chunks, while four larger quartz-style pieces make up the premiums, with payouts climbing from 10x the stake for a 35-symbol low-pay cluster to 100x for the same size cluster of the top symbol.

The board itself is built from three concentric rings, each carrying a Spot and a Zone that stays fixed near the top. Spots sit at the base of each ring and climb toward the Zone one step at a time as wins land, driven by the Rotate feature, which turns the innermost and outer rings clockwise and the middle ring anticlockwise, carrying non-winning symbols along before fresh ones drop into the gaps.

Two wild types sit on the grid. A single Core Wild holds the centre position permanently, while Sticky Wilds can appear during cascades and, once used in a winning combination, jump to a ring nearer the centre rather than disappearing. When a Sticky Wild reaches the Core Wild, the Consume feature adds one to a running multiplier — capped at x20 — applied to any win the Core Wild takes part in; that multiplier drops back to 1x at the start of each new base-game spin.

Whenever a Spot completes its journey and reaches a Zone, the Transform feature turns every symbol on that ring into a single matching pay symbol, and because all three rings can reach their Zones together, the whole board can convert to one symbol type at once. A bonus symbol rotating into a Zone instead awards 5 free spins, and during that round the Spots hold their positions between spins rather than resetting, the Core Wild multiplier keeps building, and further bonus symbols can still add another 5 spins each.
