All the original ‘diamond’ themed games from IGT, Da Vinci Diamonds, Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play and Double Diamond have been released as online games subsequent to their use as land slots and have proven very popular. Double Da Vinci Diamonds is the equivalent of a straight to DVD movie in the film world as this title is not as yet available to play in bricks and mortar casinos but has gone out to a wide range of online gambling houses.
The game picks the best features from IGT’s current catalogue, the 5x3 reel setup with 40 pay-lines is straightforward enough and base game play isn’t massively rewarding, like so many modern slots you will need to trigger the bonus rounds to get decent pay-outs. They do have the potential to be very rewarding, with the popular tumbling reels feature available in both the free spins games and the base round and IGT’s newer split symbols at work on both the high pay symbols and, more crucially on the diamond wild.
The theme might be a little overplayed but some fans will believe there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, personally I feel that the tumbling reels feature is a great anticipation builder to have in a base game round though I would rather play it on a 99 line slot such as IGT’s Pixies of the Forest, which has the added benefit of a more unusual theme. The same applies for the split symbols mechanic which is better represented on the IGT Cat’s slot.
Overall, Double Da Vinci Diamonds is a solid slot release which combines IGT’s most popular game features with one of their signature themes, it’s designed, unlike many of their slots, to be fully mobile compatible and that will give it an edge in accessibility to all regions where the game is available either as a free to play slot or a real money machine.
US Players will sadly struggle a little to find a game which offers everything this game does in an alternative playable slot for their market. BetSoft’s Diamond Dream’s slot or the similar Diamond Jackpot slot is likely the closest you will find in theme, they both lack a little in the playability in comparison although it must be said the production quality level is far higher than all but IGT’s biggest branded slot collaborations.
IGT introduced land-based casino customers to Davinci

tumbling reels, that has been widely adopted by many slot game
designers today. By 2012 Davinci Diamonds was IGT’s most popular
slot game and their online casino subsidiary brought the game to

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) is recognized around the world
as one of the leading thinkers of his time. He is remembered for
his inventions more than for his artwork, both of which had
profound influence upon other Renaissance leaders and the
inventors and artists of the following (Barroque) period, which
lasted from about 1600 to 1800.
Da Vinci’s connection to diamonds is buried in his notes,
although the famous Da Vinci diamond cut was developed by
Israeli diamond cutter Shlomo Cohen in 2006. Cohen, who invented
the “Princess cut” in 1982, based his 57-facet Da Vinci cut on
the Golden Ratio and Da Vinci’s drawings of polyhedrons,
especially pentagrams.
Leonardo Da Vinci himself wanted to use diamonds to make a
better clock for his day. The more accurate pendulum-based
clocks were still 200 years in the future, but Da Vinci found a
way to use springs instead of weights run his clock, which was
to use diamond parts as well. The Da Vinci clock is considered
to be more accurate at keeping time than other Renaissance era
clocks.
Double Davinci Diamonds Free Slot Game
The diamonds in the slot game come in several shapes and
colors, just like diamonds (and other gemstones) in real life.
Mixed in with the diamonds are three portrait paintings by
Leonardo: Cecilia Gallerani, a woman holding an ermine; the Mona
Lisa; and Portrait of a Musician (who may have been Da Vinci
himself or Franchino Gaffurio, one of Da Vinci’s friends and a
Renaissance music theorist).
