Da Vinci Diamonds Tumbling Reels delivered a decent win at the club
Good on ya mate, the tumbling chains are where the money hides on this one π° I've had the free games run forever at the club and watched those gems keep cascading, absolute madness when it keeps going. Mid volatility so it's not a monster hunt, more a steady grinder with the odd big slap. Nearly jumped off my stool when mine landed π€£
Funny you say grinder, Chris, that's exactly how I'd pitch it to a mate who's never sat on this machine. IGT built it steady, that mid volatility means you're mostly funding the session in small taps and waiting for the free games to do the damage. Bet per spin on the club unit I keep modest, maybe A$1 a hit, because the tumbling reels do the heavy lifting when they decide to run.
The slap I got the other arvo came off a chain that just refused to die, gems dropping, new ones falling in, five or six tumbles deep and I'm counting it out loud like a lunatic. That's the whole appeal of this one for me. You don't need a monster hunt mindset, you need patience and the sense to bank it when the feature's been generous. Cashing out in time is everything on a 3/6 machine, because the same chains that pay you will happily eat it back. ππ°πΈ
Ah, a decent slap on Da Vinci Diamonds is a rare bird these days, good on ya mate π I've had arvos at the club where the tumbling reels just tease you - two or three cascades and she goes quiet. Is it my imagination or does the free games feature seem to chain longer than the base game ever does? Been grinding this one since it first turned up alongside the old reel machines I cut my teeth on. Ah well, we grind on.
SamJackpot you're not imagining it, the free games are where the tumbles actually chain properly π€£ base game gives me two cascades and curtains, then the feature hits and I'm watching gems fall like the ceiling's collapsed. Only issue is my bank usually dies long before the feature shows up, deposited the last of it lol π
One more spin, promise.
Gramps, I've had arvos where the base game tumbled four deep and the feature gave me nothing but a cuppa's worth of spins, so I'd say you're all romancing the memory a bit π That's the trap with this machine, the mid volatility means she can swing either way, one punter gets the ceiling collapse and the next gets two cascades and a shrug. IGT built her steady, sure, but steady doesn't mean generous every visit.
Mind you, the free games are still the whole reason I keep feeding her. When the tumbles chain properly in there it feels like the old machines used to hit - and I'm old enough to remember when a session at the club meant watching one long feature carry your whole night. Glad you got your slap, OP. Those arvos are the ones that keep you coming back, that's the game's whole trick π
I remember the old slots first-hand.
FreoDad's got a point though, memory's a sneaky thing π
But I swear the free games chain harder on Da Vinci Diamonds, had a Friday at the club where the feature tumbled so long I thought the machine was stuck π€ Mid volatility means she swings both ways, you just remember the arvos she paid π₯π°
One slot, one love π°
turned 20 bucks into a few hundred on Da Vinci Diamonds once, all off one long tumble chain in the free games π but FreoDad's right, we only count the good arvos, the dead sessions fade away quick.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
MissFortuneWin99 nailed it with the dead sessions fading away, that's exactly how my memory works on this one π
But I'll cop to romancing it too - had a Friday at the club where the free games tumbled so deep I had two blokes leaning over my shoulder watching the gems drop, one of them reckoned it was the best arvo he'd seen on a pokie in years π€ Da Vinci Diamonds is my all-time favourite at the venue, and yeah the mid volatility cuts both ways, she'll sting you plenty before the feature pays it back. Played the online version a bit too and honestly the tumbles feel quicker on it, but nothing beats shouting at a machine in the club when a chain reaction starts π₯π°
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
Dead sessions fade hey? Then why do I remember every losing arvo on Da Vinci Diamonds better than the wins π¬ Maybe I'm just unlucky π
New here, soaking it up.
Gramps mate that's the volatility doing its job on Da Vinci Diamonds π
mid rated IGT machine, she's gonna take her toll between the good chains. My trick is setting a loss limit before I sit down, then when the free games tumble deep I just enjoy the ride without thinking about the dead arvos π°π ah well
One slot, one love π°
Yeah nah Gramps, you're not unlucky, you just sat through the mid-vol grind on Da Vinci Diamonds without a chain landing. Question for the romantics though, how deep did the free games actually go before you counted it a good arvo? Mine seem to tease one or two tumbles then go dead π°π
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
TiltSurvivor mine went three deep on tumbles before the free games even kicked in last arvo π± when the feature hits the chains just snowball, IGT knew what they were doing π°π₯
Free games on Da Vinci Diamonds are pure magic when the tumbles chain up π₯ mine always go deeper in the feature than the base game, IGT nailed it ππ°

@TiltSurvivor the "tumbles tease then go dead" pattern is just what a mid-vol machine is designed to do, nothing magic in it. Everyone in this thread swears the feature chains deep. Funny how nobody's posted a cashout screenshot to go with the fireworks. Da Vinci Diamonds pays fine for a night out at the club, just don't talk yourself into thinking the machine owes you.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
Fair point from RC about screenshots, but my club session on Da Vinci Diamonds got me ahead and I walked at the upswing. Cashing out while you're up is the whole game πΈ
RC wants screenshots, fair enough π
I've had my own Da Vinci Diamonds moments at the club where the tumbles just kept chaining in the free games, felt like a fortnight of luck in one arvo. This slot pays when it wants to and that's enough for me, best provider hands down π₯π

Walked up while you're ahead, good discipline, LeeBrekkie. That's the only win that counts on Da Vinci Diamonds. Still waiting on someone's screenshot though.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

@LeeBrekkie that discipline bit is what I'm still learning π
I chained a few tumbles on Da Vinci Diamonds at my local last week and just kept pressing instead of walking. Is it harder to cash out when you're up on this pokie than others, or is that just me being new?
Learning to clear wagering, go easy π
@Brizzie_True nah mate it's not just you, Da Vinci Diamonds is sneaky like that. The tumbles chain up and your brain goes "one more spin, it's hot" and next thing your upswing is gone. I've done it at the club more times than I wanna admit π
Walking out up even A$50 beats chasing it.
Give the free games a crack when they land though, that's where the chains get silly π₯π°
Half this thread is "felt like a fortnight of luck" stories with zero proof π Diamond_Lord1993, big tumbles at the club, lovely, but did you even withdraw or did the Da Vinci Diamonds machine eat it back by smoko? That "it's hot, one more spin" voice is a liar every single time π€‘πΈ
The house always wins.
@Cronulla why do you care if people pocketed it or fed it back π my best Da Vinci Diamonds arvo at the club was one of those nights where the tumbles just kept chaining and yeah I cashed out before it turned, A$120-ish like VegasDiva said. Doesn't need a receipt, the machine knows what it did ππ₯

@CasinoGrinder fair call on the screenshot but not every win needs receipts mate π
I don't even bother snapping the little ones, hit a decent tumble chain on Da Vinci Diamonds a few Fridays back and pocketed it before the "one more spin" voice kicked in, maybe A$120 or so. Proof or not the feeling's real π°π₯ ah well
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
Cronulla's got a point buried under the mockery though. Da Vinci Diamonds stacks up short sessions that feel like a pattern. Tumble chains cluster, so on a small spin sample your brain reads three wins in ten spins as "hot machine" when it's just how the variance is shaped. Give it two hundred spins and the picture flattens out quick.
Brizzie_True, the cash-out struggle is real on this one because the tumbles give you a win *in progress*, so walking feels like quitting mid-sentence. What helped me was deciding the stop number before the first spin, then treating any chain above it as the machine doing me a favour, not an invitation. EV is still negative no matter how the session felt, so pocketing even a modest A$50-A$120 like VegasDiva did is you beating the maths for the night, not luck running out. π
Do the EV, then spin.
That "hot machine" feeling got me too on Da Vinci Diamonds once, sat there for ages because the tumbles kept landing π
cashed out same arvo though, small win but still a win π
Asking dumb bonus questions, that's the job.
Two of you quoting the same A$120 figure and neither will show a photo. Believe it when you cash out, and even then Da Vinci Diamonds just takes it back next visit.

Why would anyone fake a club win on Da Vinci Diamonds, there's no payout for bragging π
Maybe I'm being dumb but I just enjoy it when the tumbles chain, win or lose.
