A 5 credit max bet version is also in the machine options on the Tatts Pokies (Vic) version, normally used with a 2 cent denomination. Bet buttons become 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

TRIVIA

Power Pay costs twice the total credit/line bet although pays are still the same as the bet per line. It's the same as the original Diamond Buy Feature on the old machines.

The game's graphics has reverted to a white background for the card symbols (7 through to Ace), something not seen in a heart game since the MKIV version of "Sweet Hearts II". The Heart, Diamond, Flame, Drink, Roses, Cupid and Crown symbols still have a blue background.

SCORING
All pays are left to right, including scatters. Diamond substitutes for all symbols except scattered Heart.
Diamond 1 = 2, 2 = 25, 3 = 300, 4 = 2000, 5 = 5000
Flame 2 = 5, 3 = 120, 4 = 500, 5 = 2500
Drink 2 = 5, 3 = 120, 4 = 500, 5 = 2500
Roses 2 = 5, 3 = 100, 4 = 250, 5 = 1000
Cupid 2 = 5, 3 = 100, 4 = 250, 5 = 1000
Crown 3 = 40, 4 = 75, 5 = 500
Ace 3 = 40, 4 = 75, 5 = 500
King 3 = 10, 4 = 50, 5 = 200
Queen 3 = 10, 4 = 50, 5 = 200
Jack 3 = 10, 4 = 40, 5 = 150
Ten 3 = 10, 4 = 40, 5 = 150
Nine 2 = 2, 3 = 5, 4 = 20, 5 = 100
Eight 3 = 5, 4 = 20, 5 = 100
Seven 3 = 5, 4 = 20, 5 = 100
Heart 2 = 2, 3 = 5, 4 = 20, 5 = 50
Unlike the original "Diamonds & Hearts", this one doesn't pay anything for spinning up 1 Flame or Drink symbol.
TIPS AND TRICKS

* Heart Feature : Any left to right scatter win triggers 3 free spins.
Initial scatter win is held during feature.
During feature scatters pay any.
Any additional Hearts spun up are held and 3 spins recommence.
When a 5-of-a-kind Heart win occurs the 5x Heart win is replayed 3 times.

* Diamond Feature : Spin up a Diamond on reels 1 and 5 to trigger 3 free games. Any Diamonds spun up are held and 3 spins recommence. When 5 Diamonds appear the last spin is replayed 3 times. They aren't always in the right place but they pay a fortune if they are all in a line! You must play Power Pay (line bet x 2) to be eligible for the Diamond Feature.

* It is not possible to get a line win or the Diamond feature during the Heart feature due to the location of the symbols.

* Heart feature cannot be won during the Diamond feature.
