TRIVIA

The Diamond Buy Feature costs twice the total credit/line bet although pays are still the same as the bet per line. Essentially, it's the predecessor to the 'Power Pay' feature in some newer Aristocrat games. A new version of this game is simply called Power Pay rather than the Diamond Buy Feature.

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!

* 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.
