Diamond Blitz is a Red Tiger slot with five reels, four rows and 20 win lines, and what the studio calls a throwback look and pub slot feel. Both of its features turn on the Wild diamond. A Wild locks where it lands and slips one row lower after every spin until it drops off the bottom. Blitz Mode can start at random, and in its Blitz Spins each Wild drops to the lowest free position, locks and adds a spin.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as Red Tiger publishes it.

Where Diamond Blitz comes from
Red Tiger released Diamond Blitz on 9 April 2020. Diamond Blitz 2 followed in August 2024 and Diamond Blitz 3 in July 2026, as separate games with their own rules and a feature buy. This page covers only the 2020 original.
How Diamond Blitz works
Five reels of four symbols pay along 20 win lines. The symbols are the classic fruit machine set: cherries, a lemon, grapes, a watermelon, a BAR, a star, a horseshoe, a bell and a seven. The Wild is a cut diamond with WILD across it.
The Wild substitutes for all paying symbols, and it can outlast the spin it lands on. It locks where it appears, moves down one row after each spin and disappears below the bottom row. The rest of the screen keeps spinning around it, so a Wild that lands high is part of several results in a row.
There is no scatter and no feature buy. Blitz Mode, the one extra mode, can trigger at random at any time, even on a spin that also pays line wins.
How many spins a falling Wild lasts
The row a Wild lands in decides how long it stays in the base game, unless Blitz Mode starts in the meantime. The counts follow from Red Tiger's rule.
| Where the Wild lands | Spins on the reels, counting the one it lands on | Later spins that start with it in place |
|---|---|---|
| Top row | 4 | 3 |
| Second row | 3 | 2 |
| Third row | 2 | 1 |
| Bottom row | 1 | 0 |
Blitz Mode, step by step
-
It starts at random
Blitz Mode can trigger at any time, including on a spin that pays line wins. No symbol or count sets it off. -
Five Blitz Spins
When it triggers, the game awards 5 Blitz Spins. -
Wilds drop and lock
During Blitz Spins the moving Wilds drop to the bottom or to the lowest free position, locking when they reach the bottom or meet another Wild. They stay locked until the mode ends. -
Each locked Wild adds a spin
Every Wild that locks 'awards one more Blitz Spin'. So a Blitz Mode lasts five spins plus one for each Wild that locks during it. -
After the mode
When Blitz Mode ends, the locked Wilds keep falling one position per spin until they leave the reels, so the base game goes on with Wilds already in place.
Red Tiger's figures: 23.06% hit frequency, 560x top payout

Pros, cons and verdict
- A Wild that lands in the top row stays for four base-game spins
- Blitz Mode adds one Blitz Spin for every Wild that locks
- Wilds locked in Blitz Mode keep falling into the base game after the mode ends
- Short rules: two features, both built on the Wild
- Blitz Mode has only a random trigger, and there is no feature buy
- In the base game, a Wild that lands in the bottom row is gone after a single spin
- About three spins in four pay nothing, going by the 23.06% hit frequency
- The top payout Red Tiger lists is 560x the bet, R1,120 at R2
Diamond Blitz is a short-rules slot with one idea used twice. Wilds fall a row at a time, and in a random Blitz Mode they drop, lock and earn one extra spin each. Red Tiger's figures set the expectations: medium volatility, a 23.06% hit frequency and a 560x top payout. Blitz Mode cannot be bought, so it arrives when it arrives.
Diamond Blitz FAQ
How do the falling Wilds work in Diamond Blitz?
A Wild substitutes for all paying symbols, locks where it lands and moves down one row after each spin until it passes the bottom row. In the base game a Wild in the top row stays for four spins, one in the bottom row only for the spin it lands on.
How do you trigger Blitz Mode?
It cannot be aimed for. Blitz Mode triggers at random at any time, including on a spin with line wins, and no symbol starts it. There is no feature buy either.
What is the maximum win in Diamond Blitz?
Red Tiger lists a maximum payout of 560 times the bet: R1,120 on a R2 spin or R5,600 at R10. It is the studio's listed figure, not a result to build a budget around.
Are the later Diamond Blitz games the same slot?
No. Diamond Blitz 2 (August 2024) and Diamond Blitz 3 (July 2026) are separate games with their own rules, figures and feature buy. This page covers only the April 2020 original, so check the full title.
