Diamond Mole

Diamond Mole is a cluster pays slot developed by Backseat Gaming, released on February 19, 2026. This underground-themed game takes players on a digging adventure where sticky Diamond Wild symbols with escalating multipliers are the main attraction. Set on a 6x6 grid, the game combines straightforward mechanics with high volatility gameplay. The focus is on simplicity and explosive winning potential, with Diamond Wilds that double their multiplier after each win they participate in, creating opportunities for substantial payouts up to 25,000x the bet.

Diamond Mole presents an above-ground environment where dirt, grass, trees, and rocks frame the wooden game board. The color palette features earthy browns contrasted with bright, cartoon-style symbols including colorful card values (10, J, Q, K, A) and thematic icons like shovels, lanterns, stopwatches, and a cheerful mole character. The Diamond Wild symbol stands out with its brilliant blue glow against the natural backdrop. Animation occurs during winning clusters as symbols disappear and new ones cascade down. The lighting shifts between base game and bonus features, adding visual variety. While the design keeps things simple rather than exploring underground tunnel systems, the clean interface and clear symbol differentiation make gameplay easy to follow.

Diamond Mole uses a cluster pays system where wins form when 5 or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically anywhere on the 6x6 grid. Adjust your bet using the arrows in the BET display at the bottom of the screen, with options ranging from 0.10 to 40.00. Press the SPIN button or use the spacebar to start a round. After a winning cluster forms, those symbols vanish and new symbols drop down to fill the empty positions. This tumble feature continues as long as new wins appear. Access the paytable by pressing SHIFT + P to view symbol values and game rules. The menu button provides settings for sound, autoplay, and turbo mode options.

Diamond Wild Symbol

The Diamond Wild substitutes for all paytable symbols and becomes sticky when it lands, remaining in position throughout subsequent tumbles. Each Diamond Wild starts with a 1x multiplier that doubles every time it participates in a winning combination, potentially reaching 2,048x. The grid can hold up to 5 Diamond Wilds simultaneously. When multiple Diamond Wilds contribute to the same winning cluster, their multipliers are added together before being applied to the win.

Bonus Buy Option: No (appears naturally during gameplay)

The Diamond Trail Free Spins

Landing 3 Bonus scatter symbols in the base game triggers 10 free spins. This feature guarantees 3 Diamond Wild symbols on the first spin, which remain sticky throughout all free spins. The Diamond Wilds follow the same doubling rules as the base game, increasing their multiplier with each winning combination they join. All game mechanics from the base game apply during this feature.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes (Cost: 150x bet)

Pursuit of Diamonds Free Spins

Landing 4 Bonus scatter symbols activates this enhanced version with 10 free spins. This feature starts with 4 guaranteed Diamond Wild symbols on the first spin, and all Diamond Wilds in this mode begin with a 2x multiplier instead of 1x. These wilds remain sticky and continue doubling with each win they participate in, creating faster multiplier growth than The Diamond Trail.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes (Cost: 500x bet)

BonusHunt FeatureSpins

Activating BonusHunt FeatureSpins costs 2x the current bet and increases the probability of triggering a bonus game by three times during each spin. This feature continues until a bonus round is triggered or manually disabled. The RTP when using BonusHunt FeatureSpins is 96.25%.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes (Cost: 2x bet per spin)

Wins in Diamond Mole form when 5 or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. Larger clusters generate higher payouts, with maximum values reached at 31 or more connected symbols. The Diamond Wild acts as a substitute and multiplier enhancer, while the Bonus scatter triggers free spins features.

High-Value Symbols

Special Symbols:

• Diamond Wild: Substitutes for all paytable symbols, becomes sticky when landing, starts with 1x multiplier that doubles with each win (up to 2,048x)
• Bonus Scatter: Only lands in the base game, one scatter per reel maximum, triggers free spins (3 scatters = The Diamond Trail, 4 scatters = Pursuit of Diamonds)

Wins occur when 5 or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically anywhere on the 6x6 grid. After a win forms, the tumble feature removes winning symbols and drops new ones into empty positions. This continues until no new winning clusters appear. The Diamond Wild significantly impacts win potential by substituting for other symbols and contributing growing multipliers. When a Diamond Wild participates in a win, its multiplier doubles for the next win it joins. Multiple Diamond Wilds in the same winning cluster combine their multipliers additively before applying to the total win. During free spins features, sticky Diamond Wilds accumulate on the grid, creating opportunities for multiple multipliers to work together across several tumbles within a single round.

Currently, Diamond Mole does not have direct sequels or alternative versions. Players interested in similar mechanics may explore other Backseat Gaming titles or games from partner studio Hacksaw Gaming. Cluster pays slots with escalating multipliers can also be found in Yggdrasil Gaming's MultiMax series or games featuring sticky wild multiplier mechanics from various providers.

Diamond Mole delivers a focused, high-volatility experience centered on exponentially growing wild multipliers. The game's strength lies in its simplicity – the sticky Diamond Wilds with doubling multipliers create clear, explosive winning potential without unnecessary complications. The distinction between the two bonus rounds is meaningful, with Pursuit of Diamonds offering significantly better starting conditions that justify its higher buy cost.

With a maximum win of 25,000x and a 96.31% RTP, the mathematical foundation supports extended play sessions. However, the straightforward mechanics may feel repetitive to players seeking varied features or complex narratives. The game excels when multiple Diamond Wilds land during free spins, creating momentum through combined multipliers. Diamond Mole suits players who appreciate transparent, aggressive gameplay where patience can lead to substantial payouts. The lack of intricate side features means the experience remains consistent, which can be either appealing or limiting depending on preference.
