Diamond Strike in South Africa: Golden 7s and Four Fixed Jackpots
Diamond Strike is a Pragmatic Play slot, dated 2017 on the studio's own site, with cherries, bells and 7s on five reels, three rows and 15 paylines. Diamonds are the wilds and pay the top line prize themselves. Three golden 7s anywhere open a pick game for four fixed jackpots, worth 10 to 1,000 times the total bet, and three scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 start eight free spins with extra diamonds on the reels. Pragmatic rates it low volatility.

How Diamond Strike works
Diamond Strike puts fruit-machine symbols on five reels and three rows: cherries, watermelons, plums, lemons, bells and red 7s, plus the diamond, the golden 7 and the Free Spins scatter. Pragmatic calls it "the 3×5, 15 lines video slot", and the bet menu of its free demo sets coins per line and coin value but not the number of lines, which stays at 15.
Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and each line pay is a multiple of the bet per line: a fifteenth of the stake, R0.10 on a R1.50 spin (our arithmetic).
The diamond is the wild. It substitutes for every symbol except the Free Spins scatter and the golden 7, and pays in its own right: five on a line are the richest line win in the paytable. Pragmatic's page adds that the diamonds are stacked on all reels. The seven rules pages describe no bonus buy, no ante bet and no gamble option.
Diamond Strike paytable in line bets and rand
The rules screen shows each pay in cash at the demo's default bet of $1.50. Divided by the line bet of $0.10, a fifteenth of it, the pays are the multiples below, and the rand figures are the same pays on a R1.50 spin (our arithmetic).
| Symbol | Five on a line | Four | Three |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond (wild) | 300x, R30 | 60x, R6 | 20x, R2 |
| Red 7 or golden 7 | 200x, R20 | 20x, R2 | 10x, R1 |
| Bell | 100x, R10 | 20x, R2 | 10x, R1 |
| Cherries, watermelon, plum or lemon | 40x, R4 | 10x, R1 | 5x, R0.50 |
Reading the paytable and the special symbols
- Golden 7s pay like red 7s. In the rules' words, the golden 7 has the same payout and substitutes for a red 7 in all winning lines. Three anywhere on the screen trigger the Jackpot Bonus Game.
- Wilds cannot complete the jackpot trigger. The diamond does not stand in for the golden 7, so all three must be real ones. It can still complete a line of red 7s.
- Some line wins are smaller than the stake. On a R1.50 spin, three of a fruit pay R0.50, and four of a fruit, three 7s or three bells pay R1. If that is the spin's only win, you are still down on it (our arithmetic).
- The fifth symbol is where line pays jump. From four to five on a line, in line bets by our arithmetic, a red 7 goes from 20 to 200, a bell from 20 to 100, a fruit from 10 to 40 and a diamond from 60 to 300.
The Jackpot Bonus Game: four fixed prizes 🎁
Three golden 7s anywhere on the screen start the Jackpot Bonus Game. The rules show a grid of twelve diamonds: each pick reveals a jackpot symbol, and three of the same symbol award that jackpot.
The prizes are fixed, "each with a fixed value of total bets" in the rules' words, not pooled progressive jackpots. The base game shows them in cash above the reels, so they follow the stake: in the official demo, a $1.50 bet puts the Mega at $1,500.00 and a $2.25 bet at $2,250.00.
Diamond Strike jackpots in rand
Multiples from the rules; rand amounts and line-bet counts are our arithmetic for a R1.50 spin. The Mini, at 150 line bets, pays less than five red 7s on one line; the Minor pays more than five diamonds on one line.
| Jackpot | Times the total bet | On a R1.50 spin | In line bets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 10x | R15 | 150 |
| Minor | 30x | R45 | 450 |
| Major | 100x | R150 | 1,500 |
| Mega | 1,000x | R1,500 | 15,000 |
Free spins: eight at a time, with extra diamonds 🎁
The scatter has no pay of its own in the rules. Three of them on reels 1, 3 and 5 award eight free spins; when the round begins, extra diamond wilds are added to all reels, and special reels are in play.
Three more scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the round add eight more spins, with no limit in the rules, and the Jackpot Bonus Game can trigger inside it. The rules describe no multiplier in free spins.
Two RTP figures from Pragmatic, and a low volatility rating 📊
Pragmatic's game page gives an RTP of 97.02%. The fourth rules page of its own free demo says "The theoretical RTP of this game is 96.48 %" for the version that demo runs, 0.54 points lower (our arithmetic). The RTP section below uses the game page's figure. At a casino, read the RTP line in the game's own rules.
The same rules page and the demo's intro screen rate the game low volatility: in Pragmatic's words, games that "pay out more often in smaller amounts, while still having the chance to win big".
Every pay and all four jackpots are multiples of the bet, so a bigger stake scales the rand amounts, not the stated return. No staking pattern or system beats the house edge built into the game.
