Holy Diver Online Slot

The Holy Diver Slot from Big Time Gaming combines many things, but primarily a video game-style online slot set in the dark ages, with sunny blue skies making it appear anything but dark. It is visually similar to Dragon Born Slot from Big Time Gaming and looks like a classic Big Time Gaming slot. When we hear about a new BTG release, we're eager to learn more about their high potential and ultra-high variance slots. As for volatility, it's not nearly as brutal as some of the other titles, making it a bit more wager-friendly as it seems, but it's still got potential. As well as the low-value A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals, there are four gems - the purple gem is the most valuable, offering 15 times the stake for six across a full pay line. The game does not lack potential; it is just presented in a unique manner, as you will see.

How to Play Holy Diver Slot

Because Holy Diver is a Megaways online slot, you may be able to trigger up to 586 971 winning combinations, depending on the symbols that appear on each reel. Three levels exist:

• Level 1: 117 649 winning ways
• Level 2: 396, 900 winning ways
• Level 3: 586, 971 winning ways

The game offers wagering options that range from 40 coins to 20 coins per spin, making it perfect for those with modest budgets and larger ones. You may use the autoplay feature for as many as 100 spins.

Holy Diver Slot Features

The newly introduced Reel Adventure concept leads to the unique structure of the game, where players can upgrade their game, increasing their chances of winning and potential. In the base game, the reels can fit up to seven symbols each, and there are 117k possible win ways: An animated knight walks along a path and kicks a treasure chest when he comes across one every 1-5 spins to reveal one of four reel modifiers:

Wild Symbol Bonus

One of the low-value symbols is randomly selected and turned into a wild symbol.

Bonus Sword

In real danger! Wild reels with multipliers up to x7 are added on up to three full reels in High Voltage. Up to four wild symbols appear on the reels as part of the Fireball Bonus.

Gem Symbol Bonus

This feature awards one or more Gems, which make wild symbols appear where they are generally not found. The wilds can be multiplied by 2x or 3x as you progress through the levels. There is no scatter symbol in Holy Diver. Players must instead collect gems revealed in the chests. You must land four of them, one of each colour to trigger the bonus feature (you can land all four at once). There is one twist, however. You may decline to play the free spin bonus at progression level 1 in place of upgrading to level 2. Once you've received this upgrade, you'll be able to play with the x2 wild multiplier in the base game. If you trigger the bonus at level 2, you will again have the option of either going into the free spins (which come with a multiplier of x2) or upgrading to the final stage, which is level 3. If you can trigger the bonus at level 3, you will be forced to play the free spins with a multiplier of x3. So, you can choose how volatile you want to be. A bonus of 10 free spins is awarded when you activate the bonus. You may now realize where the game's title comes from after hearing the 1983 Heavy Metal super-hit Holy Diver. Yeah, baby! When the bonus game begins, you will need to look out for gems appearing on reels 2 through 5. They will transform into wild symbols with multipliers according to your current level. The multiplier increases by x2 and x3, respectively, at levels 2 and 3. The heroic knight also accompanies you. Rather than kicking open chests, he defeats mystical figures he encounters. In most cases, once you defeat these, you will either be left holding nothing or discover shiny diamonds. Each of the first four diamonds gives you one free spin, and the fifth diamond retriggers the feature with eight more free spins. Every time a retrigger occurs, the win ways increase up to a maximum of 586k Megaways. A brilliant design as the retrigger remains accessible until the very last spin.

 The Verdict

The experience that Holy Diver delivers is truly unique, innovative, unlike anything we've seen before. Having the ability to make decisions, such as whether to level up or go for the bonus, makes the game so engaging and allows you to feel involved. The Reel Adventure mechanic is undoubtedly an exciting concept but lacks the dynamic greatness of the Megaways® engine that has garnered it so much attention. Of course, whether Holy Diver is a hit or miss is up to the players, but we enjoyed playing it in demo mode. Holy Diver is not just for Metal Heads. Especially when that song starts blasting in the bonus track, we crank it to 11 and hope it never ends. It is an upbeat and extremely enjoyable slot that makes you want to keep playing it repeatedly.
