How to play Diamond Rush Express mobile slot

The Diamond Rush Express slot developed by Area Vegas will see you collect golden nuggets and train carts full of treasure if you have the patience to collect enough diamonds or the luck to win the grand jackpot of 5,000 your bet.

Set on 5×4 reels, the Diamond Rush Express slot has 20 payline filled with Wild West gold rush symbols – bars, shovels, coins, lamps and dynamite. Everything you need to get gold digging up in the mountains.

But you’re not just an old prospector like in the Gold Rush Express slot. Oh no. Thanks to the handy steam trains above the reels, you’ve got the resources to get digging that pay out whenever a train and bell symbol falls on the reels. Sometimes, that train even comes with a multiplier.

This is a collect instant-win slot game—the gold nuggets offer instant wins, and the trains, with their carts full of treasure, will turn you into a tycoon or send you back down the mine. The paytable is minimal, though the stacked wilds on the reels help liven things up a little.

Diamond Rush Express slot shares its DNA with the Big Bass slots

If you’ve ever played and enjoyed video slots such as Big Bass Bonanza or Big Bass Amazon Xtreme, then you know what this game is mostly about. You have a golden train or bell symbol on reel 5. When it lands, it collects the golden nuggets on the reel, each with instant cash wins of 0.2x to 10x your bet.

The golden train symbol, however, can also trigger the golden train above the reels, giving you a total win of up to 10x. The coloured trains, on the other hand, give you about the same amount as the nuggets, with the added advantage that you might catch a multiplier in the last cart and get a little boost to your total winnings.

It’s not always hard-hitting. Mostly, it’s not hard-hitting at all. That’s a good thing, though, because it means the feature triggers often, and there is excitement in watching all those smaller amounts being collected and then paid back into your account.

Diamond Rush Express slot is all about keeping you on the edge of your seat while you patiently collect 100 diamonds.

Two different free spin bonus features

For most of your gameplay in this Diamond Rush Express online slot, 3 scatters will trigger 10 free spins with richer reels. That is to say; the Instant Win collect feature will trigger more often.

But as you play you’ll notice that it’s not just gold you are collecting, but diamonds. 100 diamonds is what you need to collect the Diamond free spins on 3 scatters. At this point, you’ll get 10 free spins, and on reel 5, you’ll always get the train or bell symbols – in other words, you almost hit the Diamond Rush feature on every spin.

That’s a whole load of trains, but is it a whole load of wins? We got over 120x our bet, so yes. We would say it is. And that’s just a glimmer of what you can catch on this feature.

The Diamond Rush Express slot is good enough

Like many other Games Global studios slots, from Thunderstruck Stormchaser to the Big Mouth Fishing, patience and replay are key to enjoying this Diamond Rush Express video slot.

There’s a whole load to enjoy. Namely, you can win any one of the four jackpots, including the grand prize of 5,000x your bet, on any spin via the randomly triggered Click Me mini-game or one of the coloured trains.

Just take the time to appreciate the small wins and accept that there are plenty of little nuggets to claim for a volatile game, all while travelling the Wild West. It’s a fun little gem in any Microgaming casino.

Bonus Features

Stacked Wild: The Diamond Rush Express logo is the wild symbol and replaces all others to create a win. It can come up to 4 symbols stacked high on all reels. It does not replace the bonus, the rush express, the diamond multiplier, the bell or the gold train symbol.

Pick Me Feature:At the end of any base game spin, you may randomly be awarded with this click me feature. You will pick from gold nuggets, and you'll match three to win one of the following 4 jackpots:

Mini: 20x your bet
Minor: 50x your bet
Major: 500x your bet
Grand: 5,000x your bet

Rush Express Symbol: This bonus is triggered by the bell or the Gold Train symbol on reel 5. At least one gold nugget symbol must also be on the screen.

When a bell lands, it collects all the gold nugget amounts in view.

When a gold train lands, it collects all the Rush Express symbol prizes on the screen above the reel. The gold train then awards this total to the player up to 10 times.

When a rush express feature is triggered, you can also trigger a mini train feature to determine the total prize value. The colour of the train in the mini feature corresponds to the colour of the triggering Rush Express gold nugget.

The final coloured ar can ward a multiplier or one of the corresponding coloured jackpots.

Diamond Multiplier: The diamond symbol can appear on reels 1-4. It is collected in the train above and affects the free spin bonus you can trigger. The diamond multiplier applies to the total of all on-screen prizes whenever a Rush Express feature is triggered.

Scatters and Free Spins: A bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger 10 free spins. If the number of diamond collected is less than 100, you get 10 free spins with more rush express feature triggers.

Diamond Free Spins: A bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger 10 free spins. If the number of diamond collected is more than 100, you get 10 free spins with more frequent rush express feature triggers and a guaranteed Bell or Gold Train on reel 5 on every spin. Once used up, the cart goes back to 0 and you have to start collecting 100 diamonds all over again.

Diamond Rush Express Review Conclusion

Diamond Rush Express has a wide betting range of 0.20 to 50 a spin, a high RTP of 96.49 and a decent top win of 5,000x your bet. Why did we not give it more than 3 stars?

For the most part, it just overcomplicates everything. It has the same feature as the Big Bass slots, but you have two symbols, different colours, trains and jackpots.

It has a brilliant free spins bonus, but you need to collect 100 diamonds to feel the full effect of the feature. It's well-themed and yet looks a little dated. It's good, but then again, it's not amazing.

We were tempted to give this a 4-star slot review as we won 120x our bet on a good round, and when we did hit Diamond Free Spins, we could see exactly why this is fast becoming a favourite with mobile slots players.
