Diamond Heist Hold & Win

There's a sassiness to Diamond Heist Hold & Win, which makes it quite enjoyable. iSoftBet has boldly presented the game, matching the spirit of the amiable leading rogue character. It's funny, can you imagine someone tiptoeing down the road, a sack with a dollar sign printed on it slung over his shoulder, a mask barely covering their eyes, while sporting a five o'clock shadow of a beard? It's a dead cert they're up to no good. Someone like that wouldn't last a minute on the street before the cops picked them up, but in a heist themed slot, this sort of get-up is a must. So is the Pink Panther-esque music and the relatively generic imagery. This type of game straitjackets developers to a degree, either they stick to the script or risk alienating players who dig the genre. iSoftBet has stayed close to the template while walking a fine line between familiar and new with the features. Like the sixth reel, Heist Mode feels a little superfluous, though they are free, which is nice. Presumably, you can go the whole 20 spins and not land five Money scatters. Yet, we never failed to progress to the respins feature from Heist Mode. Maybe we were exceptionally lucky, but after a few times, Heist Mode became a formality. On the other hand, free spins were a lot harder to trigger. Again, using a multiplier that increases on every single spin isn't new, though the way it slams onto the reels and the sheer pace the bonus round is played means it gets pretty tense. Rewards aren't massive but fit the game, maxing out at4,684x the bet. For the most part, Diamond Heist plays things safe, but a few slight alterations and the above-average level of charm might win you over. If you're in the market for a lively, relatively unsophisticated streak respin slot, Diamond Heist Hold & Win could be alright.
