Diamond Mine Megaways Symbols Guide: Diamonds, Miners, Wilds and Scatters Explained

The symbols in Diamond Mine Megaways are inspired by underground mining, valuable gemstones and precious treasures. From sparkling diamonds to hardworking miners, each symbol contributes to the game's distinctive theme while playing a role in its Megaways™ mechanics.

Alongside standard paying symbols, the game also includes Wild and Scatter symbols that can help complete winning combinations or trigger bonus features.

Like all online slots, Diamond Mine Megaways is a game of chance. Every symbol appears randomly on the reels, and each spin is determined independently by Random Number Generator (RNG) technology.

Diamond Symbols

Diamonds are among the most recognisable premium symbols in the game.

Available in a range of colours and cuts, they reinforce the treasure-hunting theme while offering some of the highest regular payouts when they form qualifying combinations across adjacent reels.

Because the game uses the Megaways mechanic, the number of possible diamond combinations changes with every spin as the reel heights vary.

Miner Symbols

The Miner character symbol represents the heart of the game's underground adventure.

As a premium symbol, the Miner generally pays more than the standard card icons and adds personality to the mining-themed design.

Landing several Miner symbols across consecutive reels can result in higher-value winning combinations, depending on the current reel configuration.

Mining Equipment Symbols

Mining equipment continues the underground theme and may include symbols such as:

• Pickaxes
• Lanterns
• Mining helmets
• Dynamite
• Treasure carts

These themed icons usually occupy the middle range of the paytable, sitting between the highest-value character symbols and the lower-value card symbols.

Card Symbols

The lower-paying symbols are represented by traditional playing card values:

• A
• K
• Q
• J
• 10

Although these symbols generally offer smaller payouts than premium icons, they appear more frequently and contribute to many regular winning combinations throughout the game.

Wild Symbol

The Wild is one of the most useful symbols in Diamond Mine Megaways.

Its primary role is to substitute for most regular paying symbols, helping to complete qualifying combinations across adjacent reels.

The Wild can:

• Replace most premium and standard symbols
• Help create multiple winning combinations during the same spin
• Continue contributing to combinations during cascading reels where applicable

Wilds do not usually substitute for Scatter symbols unless specifically stated in the game's paytable.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter symbol is responsible for activating the game's main bonus feature.

Unlike regular symbols, Scatters generally do not need to land on specific winning ways. Instead, the required number must appear during the same spin to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Once activated, players receive a set number of bonus spins, during which the game's Megaways and cascading mechanics continue to operate.

The exact number of Scatters required and the number of Free Spins awarded are listed in the game's paytable.

How the Symbols Work Together

One of the defining features of Diamond Mine Megaways is the way its symbols interact with the Megaways mechanic and cascading reels. Rather than functioning independently, each symbol contributes to the overall gameplay, with premium icons offering higher-value combinations, Wilds helping complete winning ways and Scatters unlocking the game's bonus feature. Because the number of symbols on each reel changes with every spin, the way these symbols combine is constantly evolving. 

The interaction between these symbols becomes even more interesting once a winning combination is formed. After a qualifying win, the winning symbols are removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to cascade into the empty spaces above. This creates an entirely new reel layout without requiring another spin.

Symbol Values

While exact payouts depend on the stake selected, the symbols generally follow this structure:

Symbol Category	Typical Value
Diamond Symbols	Highest regular payouts
Miner Symbol	High payouts
Mining Equipment	Medium payouts
Card Symbols	Lower payouts
Wild	Substitute symbol
Scatter	Bonus trigger

Always refer to the in-game paytable for precise payout values and feature rules.

Random Symbol Outcomes

Every symbol in Diamond Mine Megaways appears through certified RNG technology.

This means:

• Symbols land randomly on every spin.
• Reel heights change independently for each round.
• Wild and Scatter appearances cannot be predicted.
• Cascading reels only continue after qualifying winning combinations.

Because every outcome is random, previous spins do not influence future results.
