1867 Diamond Wild Rush

1867 Diamond Wild Rush Slot Review

A wooden railway trestle runs overhead, red-orange cliffs crowd in from both sides, and a mine cart sits heaped with pink and blue crystals at the bottom of a sunlit canyon. Strip the paint off 1867 Diamond Wild Rush, though, and the paylines barely matter: this is a collect slot wearing a line-slot chassis, and the real money moves through the diamonds, the carts and the ladder rather than the symbol wins. Fantasma Games have essentially built two games into one frame here, and the quieter 1867 setting – the year of Canadian confederation rather than the boom years – suits a slot that’s more industrious than rowdy.

It runs on a 5×4 grid with 20 fixed paylines paying left to right, at 96.20% RTP. The studio’s catalogue ranges from Flower Fortunes Megaways to Payday Express and Golden Castle, and this sits closer to the train end of that list than the Megaways end. Both halves of that frame pull their weight on every spin, which is rarer than it should be.

Diamond Collect and the Base Game

Line wins pay leftmost to right, only the highest win per line counts, and simultaneous wins on different lines add together. All payouts are based on the total bet. It’s standard line-slot plumbing, and it works the way you’d expect.

The Wild is a dwarf holding a diamond, and it substitutes for everything except the Scatter, the Diamond and the Train symbols. It’s also the joint-richest symbol on the board, level with the prospector at the top of the paytable. When any Diamond symbols are on the reels, the Wild doubles as a Collector for them.

Diamond Collect winnings and line winnings are evaluated separately, so a spin can pay both ways at once. That’s the mechanic the whole game hangs on: diamonds land, the wild collects them, and the base game stops being just a wait for scatters. The diamond symbols carry their own on-reel values, which are gathered up by the collector rather than paid as line wins.

The mechanics in play on every spin:

• 20 fixed paylines, paying leftmost to right, with only the highest combination per line counting
• Wild substitution for everything except Scatter, Diamond and Train symbols
• Diamond Collect, evaluated separately from line wins whenever the wild is on the reels with diamonds
• Scatter triggers on reels 1, 3 and 5 only

Paytable

All values are multiples of the total bet.

• Bearded prospector (red frame) / Wild: 2 pays 1x, 3 pays 2x, 4 pays 4x, 5 pays 20x
• Lady with fan (pink frame): 3 pays 1.5x, 4 pays 3x, 5 pays 15x
• Green lantern: 3 pays 1x, 4 pays 2x, 5 pays 12x
• Pickaxe (blue tile): 3 pays 1x, 4 pays 2x, 5 pays 10x
• Royals (A, K, Q, J, 10): 3 pays 0.5x, 4 pays 1x, 5 pays 2x

The paytable scales with the bet configuration, so the on-screen values move with whatever stake is set. Two symbols pay from a two-of-a-kind match, which is rare on a line slot and gives the top symbols a little more presence than their five-of-a-kind numbers alone suggest.

When things get going, the reels fill up rather than staying quiet. Diamonds land carrying their own stake-relative values, train tiles roll in with a value matched to the current bet, and fiery orange animation can sweep down the right-hand reel while a round plays out. The five royals are the filler tier, but the three mid-tier symbols pay respectably enough that a four-of-a-kind lantern or pickaxe line is worth noticing.

Jackpot Ladder

A five-tier prize ladder sits above the reels, topped by the Grand tier:

• Mini: 10x the bet
• Minor: 20x the bet
• Major: 50x the bet
• Mega: 100x the bet
• Grand: 1,000x the bet

The Grand tops the ladder at 1,000x the bet, and the ladder gives the Diamond Collect mechanic a target worth collecting towards. Four of the five tiers pay less than a five-of-a-kind prospector line, so the Grand is the only tier that genuinely changes a session.

Diamond Wild Rush Express

The train is this game’s signature. The Special Train Features, grouped under the name Diamond Wild Rush Express, send three carts down the trestle:

• Wild Cart
• Diamond Cart
• Prizepot Cart

The train symbols are excluded from wild substitution, so they do their own work rather than feeding line wins. Train tiles appear carrying values tied to the current bet.

Beyond those names, the game’s screens don’t document what each cart does. Combined with the ladder and the collector wild, the train gives the game a second collect loop that runs alongside the paylines rather than replacing them.

Bonus Spins

Landing three Scatter symbols during the base game triggers 8 Bonus Spins. Scatters can only land on the first, third and fifth reels, so there’s exactly one combination shape that opens the round.

The game’s rules state nothing beyond the 8 Bonus Spins for the round, documenting no change to the grid, the lines or the features. Eight spins is a modest award by current standards.

What carries into the round:

• The same 5×4 grid and 20 fixed paylines

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7/10

Playing 1867 Diamond Wild Rush feels like watching two slot machines share one screen, and the reason to pick it is that both of them are working every spin. The canyon is genuinely lovely, painted rather than posed, and the trestle bridge gives the train a reason to exist instead of arriving from nowhere.

The collect loop is what makes it: diamonds, a wild that gathers them, carts that feed the same system, all paying alongside the lines. The disappointment is the Bonus Spins. Eight spins that change nothing about the game makes the scatter the least interesting symbol on a board full of interesting ones, and the ladder below the Grand is too thin to rescue it.

This is one for players who enjoy the collecting itself, steady small gathers with a 1,000x peak in the distance. Anyone after a bonus round that transforms the game should let this train pass.
