BLOOD DIAMOND: OVERVIEW
Last Updated: April 18, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
No, it is not as good as Tanked or Brute Force, but we feel that Blood Diamond is a good slot if you have a big bankroll to keep your head above water.
This Blood Diamond slot review will give you all of the information you need to know so that you can decide whether or not you would like to play for real money or not.
BLOOD DIAMOND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
We expected big things from Blood Diamond, but unfortunately we are rather disappointed. First of all, Blood Diamond is not a bad slot game, but compared with some of the best NoLimit City slots, this one is rather basic. It is very hard to hit any significant wins in the base game, but even after activating x2 Oppression free spins, we never won more than £8! The base game was rather lifeless too.
There are plenty of features, as is customary with NoLimit City slots. The xNudge wilds are back, as is the xNudge Desire which expands across three reels. The Chained Reels are a great addition which are available in the base game this time and Stacked symbols are back too like in the Mental 2 slot.
Overall, we lost more than £40 playing this within 10 minutes. We were betting the minimum of 20p per spin but we also used the xBet feature which increased our total bet up to 60p per spin. To be honest, there is little point in playing Blood Diamond for real money unless you are prepared to risk big to win big.
BLOOD DIAMOND FEATURES
We have outlined all of the slot features that can be accessed whilst playing Blood Diamond for real money in the UK below.
STACKED SYMBOLS
Character symbols can land in various sizes, with stacked symbols reaching up to four positions high. Stacked symbols are the number of positions they cover on the reel.
CHAINED REELS
Activated randomly on any spin. Two or more reels will be linked causing matching symbols to land adjacent to each other. The Chained Reels are activated fairly often and definitely help to increase wins in the base game especially.
XNUDGE WILDS AND XNUDGE DESIRE
A feature on most NoLimit City online slots these days, the xNudge Wilds are rather hit and miss and when they appear on the reels, they will always nudge to be fully visible. Several can appear on the reels at the same time too and the multipliers will be added on top of one another.
The xNudge Desire is activated randomly on any spin in the main game. If an xNudge Wild is added to a Chained Reel, all of the Chained Reels will contain the Nudge.
OPPRESSION SPINS
Landing three scatter symbols will trigger five Oppression spins. The third bonus symbol will always be a Big Symbol bonus which will aware one of the below upgrade features:
- Additional spins
- Additional win multiplier
- Additional guaranteed Chained Reels
- Guaranteed Nudge Desire on each spin
- Guaranteed Nudge on each spin
- Max win
During Oppression spins, at least two reels will always be chained during each spin. Up to three Big Bonus symbols can also land during the bonus game and each will award an upgrade feature.
DOMINATION SPINS
Landing four bonus spins will trigger the Domination Spins bonus with five free spins. In addition to the same features from Oppression Spins, you will get the opportunity to get upgrades from two Big Bonus symbols.
ENSLAVEMENT SPINS
Landing five bonus symbols will trigger five Enslavement Spins. In addition to all of the Oppression spins features, you will also get three Big Bonus symbols.
XBET NOLIMIT BOOSTER
At the cost of three times the bet, you can guarantee yourself one bonus symbol. We usually recommend taking advantage of the xBet booster.
Full List of Features:
- Free spins
- Bonus game
- Oppression spins
- Domination spins
- Enslavement spins
- xBet NoLimit booster
- Stacked symbols
- Chained reels
- xNudge wilds
- xNudge desire
BLOOD DIAMOND RTP (RETURN TO PLAYER) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
Blood Diamond has an RTP of 96.14%, this is slightly above the industry average of slot games.
The maximum payout/multiplier when you play Blood Diamond for real money is 14,780x your wager. This is actually fairly low compared to other NoLimit City slots, but still above average compared to the average online slot machine.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING BLOOD DIAMOND FOR REAL MONEY
Where strategies are concerned, we do not advise betting small here because rewards are few and far between. We were betting the minimum and even after activating x2 free spins rounds, we still lost almost £40 after playing for just 10 minutes.
We only recommend playing Blood Diamond if you have a high bankroll and are able to plat at at least £1 per spin.
EXTRA INFO
Blood Diamond is played on a 4-4-4-4-4 grid with 1,024 paylines. There are plenty of features with the main ones being Chained Reels, Stacked Symbols and xNudges. The variance level is very high/insane with a hit rate of 20.98%. The free spins in Blood Diamond are triggered once in every 278 spins. There is the opportunity to buy features but only if you are playing outside the UK.
The important info you need to know here includes an RTP 96.14% and a maximum potential multiplier of up to 14,780 times the bet. The minimum bet is 20p per spin and the max bet is £5 per spin. Blood Diamond was released on 08/04/2025 and has been developed by NoLimit City.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Compared to some of their earlier slots, Blood Diamond has been a little bit of a let down for us However, we are sure high rollers will still enjoy this game.”
