How the Game Plays

Diamond Tales The Ugly Duckling brings the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale to life across a 5x4 grid. Developed by Greentube, this title distinguishes itself with a persistent progression system. As you spin, you collect Red Diamond Heart symbols in a "Special Reel" located above the main grid. These hearts are essential for triggering bonuses and advancing the narrative through five distinct chapters: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and finally, the Swan Feature. The symbols include the titular duckling, various farmyard animals like cats and turkeys, and the majestic swan that appears in the final chapter.

Diamond Tales & Snap Drop Explained

The core of the action revolves around two main mechanics. The Snap Drop feature triggers when a special symbol lands on the fifth reel while there are hearts in the Special Reel; this awards a single respin where only multiplier hearts appear. The primary Diamond Tales feature is activated by landing three Book Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. This enters a Hold & Win style round with three initial respins. During this mode, any new Diamond Heart that lands resets the counter. Red hearts add to the total, while Gold Diamond Hearts act as multipliers that can drastically increase the payout, potentially reaching the game's massive 50,000x maximum prize.

The Swan Feature

By reaching the final chapter of the story, you unlock the Swan Feature. This enhanced version of the bonus round offers the best winning potential, as the Ugly Duckling symbol is replaced by the high-paying Swan, and additional Gold Diamond Heart multipliers are added to the reels to maximize the final transformation of the story.
