Any way you look at it, spinning these reels is a pure delight for all the nostalgic gamblers who want nothing more than to re-live the past but also got used to modern gameplay.
The stark retro symbols are slightly different than those of its predecessors but polished in style with the same old-school grandeur. This time glossy Diamonds dominate, along with Bars, Sevens, Cherries, and Bells. Once again, the main focus is on the Dollar Sign, which will pay 10 000 coins if you collect five of them on a pay line.
Despite the venerable vintage symbols and the 8-bit-ish soundtrack, you’ll find the gameplay is modernized by adding Free Spins and the Re-spin function, allowing players to spin reels independently to achieve a win. With its Medium Volatility, high RTP of 96.47%, and a max win of 500 000 coins, the slot Retro Reels Diamond Glitz is a worthy successor of Retro Reels and worth a spin for any player longing for the good ol’ days.

Personal testers’ opinion about Retro Reels: Diamond Glitz slot
We were first in line to test this slot with full commitment as retro fans—no complaints about the style and design. We managed to reach a win of 60x the bet in the main game. Even though the hit probability here is above average with 50% (!), high prizes are rarely dealt out due to the mixed diamonds and mixed bars. We did indulge in Free Spins more often than with many other slots (not as much as we want to, but still).
Here they come around every 132nd spin, but their payouts were moderate and not all that exciting. Nevertheless, between all the bleeps and coin jingling sound effects and by using the Re-spin function as wisely as possible, we had a blast, and we do give this slot thumbs up. It is also recommendable for completing the wagering requirements, deserving 5.2 index points (out of 10).

Features of Retro Reels Diamond Glitz slots
Like in the first title of the series – Retro Reels – there are no Wilds to be found.
- Re-spin feature – Sounds more exciting and profitable than it is. Each time a losing spin ends, you get the opportunity to spin any reel independently one at a time. This way, you get a second chance to accomplish a win, but of course, there are no guarantees. The Re-spin cost depends on the win chance and can seem unreasonably high, especially when the combination you expect to be completed is not formed. This can lead to a downward spiral if you don’t restrain yourself.
- Free Spins – Unlike Retro Reels, you need at least 3 Scatters (paid: 100x the bet for 5OAK) to trigger Free Spins instead of 2. Landing 3, 4, or 5 of them will launch 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins (re-trigger-able) where all wins are doubled.
