Sticky Diamonds Flaming Link is a casino slot from Gamomat with another Flaming Link release. We’ve seen the Flaming Link feature in previous releases, such as Royal Seven Ultra Flaming Link and 40 Finest XXL Flaming Link, offering basic Hold & Win mechanics with Multiplier Zones. Here, the provider has kept the Flaming Link feature intact and added Free Games with sticky wilds. Although this release offers slightly better win potential than its predecessors, it’s too basic for us. The design feels dated, and considering the subpar gameplay, it doesn’t live up to the standards of a modern slot experience. Continue reading for more information.

You can select bet sizes ranging from 0.2 to 100, with an average industry RTP of 96.12% by default.

This game has high volatility, a hit frequency of 21.57%, and potential wins of up to 12,200X your bet.

The game’s design is based on a lightning theme, featuring a purple sky during a lightning storm as a backdrop. The 5x3 game grid is in the middle of the screen with the game’s Jackpot above the reels. All buttons, including the Spin and Bet Size, can be found below the reels. You can play Sticky Diamonds Flaming Link on all mobile devices, desktops, and tablets. You create a winning combination by landing 3 or more of the same symbol types on adjacent reels starting at the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols are cherries, citrus, an orange, and a plum. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays 5X. The higher-paying symbols are grapes, watermelon, a silver bell, and 7. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays between 10X and 100X.

The game’s Wild Symbol has the design of a red diamond and can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 only. The Scatter Symbol is a blue lightning symbol, and landing 3 or more will trigger the Free Games. Depending on whether you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols, you will be awarded a direct payout of 1X, 5X, or 50X the bet, respectively. The Cash Symbol is the image of the sun with values ranging from 1X to 75X the bet, and landing 5 or more will trigger the Flaming Link. Creating a win with 3, 4, or 5 Cash Symbols awards a direct payout of 3X, 4X, or 5X the bet, respectively. It can also carry one of the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpots, awarding 50X, 100X, or 200X the bet, respectively. Let’s continue to the Feature section.

Special Features & Slot Mechanics

What is the max win in the slot of Sticky Diamonds Flaming Link?

The max win is 12,200X the bet. 

What features are available in the slot of Sticky Diamonds Flaming Link?

The features of this slot game are Wild Symbol, Free Games, and Flaming Link.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Scatter and Cash Symbols and helps you create winning combinations. It can only land on reels 1, 3, and 5. During the Free Games, it becomes sticky, which you can read more about in the next section.

Free Games

This feature can be triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels during the Base Game, awarding 11 Free Games. Depending on whether you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols, you will be awarded a direct payout of 1X, 5X, or 50X the bet, respectively.

During the feature, all Wild Symbols are sticky, which means they stay locked in position until the Free Games are over.

When the Free Games are over, there is a random chance that the Mystery Retrigger will be activated. If that happens, you are granted an additional 11 Free Games. However, all sticky Wilds from the first round will be removed.

Multiplier Zones in view
Flaming Link

This feature can be triggered by landing 5 or more Cash Symbols during the Base Game, awarding 3 respins. Only blanks and Cash Symbols can appear on the reels. Whenever the Cash Symbols land on the reels and become sticky, the respins reset to 3 again.

During the feature, the reels are divided into 4 zones. A multiplier is assigned to each zone. Once a zone is filled with Cash Symbols, the corresponding multiplier is activated. At the end of the feature, the activated multipliers are applied to the Cash Symbols in the respective zones, and then all values in view are added up and paid out.

The Cash Symbol can appear with values of 1X, 1.5X, 2X, 2.5X, 10X, 20X, 25X, or 75X the bet. It can also land as the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot, awarding 50X, 100X, or 200X the bet, respectively.

If all zones are filled with Cash Symbols, an Ultra Bonus of 500X the bet is awarded.

This game provides a nostalgic vibe, featuring an old-school slot soundtrack and fruit symbols. In terms of design, it takes us back to the early 2000s and late 90s, which might appeal to an audience that appreciates an old-fashioned slot experience, but for us, it just feels dated and obsolete.

As mentioned in the Introduction, the gameplay revolves around the familiar Flaming Link feature, where Multiplier Zones can award potentially decent wins. So what makes this game stand out from the other Flaming Link games? Although the Flaming Link feature is identical, the provider has added Free Games featuring sticky wilds. While testing the game, these sticky wilds generated many wins, but without multipliers or additional features, it fails to deliver big payouts and modern gameplay.

Overall, the nostalgic slot look might find an audience who likes it old-school; however, the gameplay will hardly keep them for long. We appreciate the added Free Games and sticky wilds from the provider, but unfortunately, it’s not enough to compete against today’s modern slot releases.

Sticky Diamonds Flaming Link is a slot with a nostalgic vibe and minor changes to the Flaming Link series, but unfortunately, it doesn’t reach a high rating due to outdated design and simplistic gameplay.
