DIAMOND BLITZ 2: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: August 20, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
A huge improvement on the original slot, Diamond Blitz 2 has a classic theme but some modern features. When Diamond Blitz was announced by Red Tiger, the SlotsHawk team were hoping that it wouldn’t be a lazy update on the original. Happily, it is not that and Diamond Blitz 2 is a decent slot in its own right, although there are certainly better slot games out there.
You will see the SlotsHawk team playing Diamond Blitz 2 via our official YouTube channel. You can also see our playthrough below.
DIAMOND BLITZ 2: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
As always, you can find our test and playthrough of Diamond Blitz 2 here and via our YouTube channel. We began by playing for 40p per spin and the review team are impressed with the locked wilds feature which generate respins. We are also impressed with the hit rate, but be careful about this one as although there are many wins triggered, the majority of them are for amounts below your bet.
Diamond Blitz 2 gameplay revolves around trying to trigger the Blitz bonus game which is done when you land one Blitz symbol on the reels and then, in your next spins, you must land a Wild symbol. We triggered this twice and on our second time, we did successfully land a Wild symbol. Unfortunately, payouts are not larger in the bonus game and multipliers are not increased either, so we did not win much.
Overall, there is just is not a lot of opportunity for large wins, even in the games special bonus round, Blitz Mode. In comparison with certain other modern slot games, Diamond Blitz 2 is rather lacking. Yes, we enjoyed it at first and the locked wilds offering respins is a brilliant feature, but overall this slot just isn’t very exciting after the first five or so minutes of gameplay.
DIAMOND BLITZ 2 SLOT FEATURES
There are some modern features in Diamond Blitz 2 and one exceptional feature in the form of locked wilds with respins.
LOCKED WILDS
Whenever a Wild symbol appears on the reels, it is locked and will trigger a repsin until no more wilds appear on the reels. On each repsin, the locked wild will continue to drop down the reels until it disappears.
BLITZ MODE
The Blitz symbol may land on the middle reel only and once it lands, it triggers Blitz mode for the current and next 4 spins. Land a Wild here and you trigger Blitz Spins.
BLITZ SPINS
Here you get four Blitz Spins. Whenever you land a Wild symbol on the reels, the counter resets back to four Blitz spins.
Full List of Features:
- Blitz Spins
- Locked wild’s
- Respins
- Multipliers

The maximum potential payout is 4,055 times your bet which is pretty great and can be won in both the base game and during Blitz Spins.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING DIAMOND BLITZ 2 FOR REAL MONEY
There are not a lot of strategies to employ here other than to bet what you are comfortable with betting. Although the variance is high, there are is a good hit frequency in the base game. Larger wins are still rare, though.

THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Fun for the first five minutes or so and the locked wild’s are a treat, but overall Diamond Blitz 2 is lacking in quite a lot compared with other modern slot games.”
