Diamonds Power: Hold and Win: stake and payout guide
Translate any prize multiple using the total stake shown by the game. Five paylines do not justify multiplying an already total-stake-based prize by five again.

What happens in Diamonds Power: Hold and Win
Diamonds Power uses a small three-by-three layout and five lines, then builds its identity around the diamond feature system. It belongs to Playson’s compact Hold and Win family. That makes it a useful comparison for readers who want to understand a small feature board before considering expanded XXL editions.
Keep unpublished details out of the fact table
The public product page names four jackpots and the principal mechanics but does not supply every configuration detail. A review can explain those published features while leaving the precise RTP, limits and respin conditions to the launched game’s help screen. Filling those gaps with numbers from a similarly named release would be misleading.
Do not confuse this title with Diamonds Power XXL
The original has nine main positions and five paylines. The later XXL version changes the layout and should have its own rules entry. A search result with the same diamond artwork is insufficient evidence that both titles share their stake range, return configuration or feature conditions.
Read a result in Australian dollars
The following worked example isolates one operation so the calculation can be followed. The stake and values are constructed inputs, separate from any account promotion or recorded result.
A$0.40 × 20 = A$8.00 demonstrates reading a stake-based prize. The example 20× is not a claimed Diamonds Power jackpot tier.
The Hold & Win feature uses retained bonus symbols. Use the exact respin rules displayed by the launched version.
A round can settle in the game currency while the funding transaction began in another currency. The final game return belongs in the round history; a processor charge belongs in the payment record. Use the two records together when explaining a balance change. This matters especially when a retained-symbol feature shows many interim values before one final total.
Diamonds Power: Hold and Win screens and controls
Start with the occupied positions and the remaining feature counter. A coin label, a jackpot label and a collector can occupy similar-looking positions while performing different roles. Follow the final values shown after a modifier rather than adding the earlier labels again.
Diamond Pile is an alternative feature route
The provider describes Diamond Pile as an opportunity for bonus entry on a spin containing bonus symbols. This is not a statement that every such spin triggers Hold & Win. The difference between “can activate” and “will activate” is essential to an accurate explanation.
Diamonds Power: Hold and Win compared with Thunder Coins XXL: Hold and Win
These two titles are connected by their feature family or the way their game states develop. The useful comparison is the specific rule in each row: a shared theme, jackpot label or provider does not make the two games interchangeable.

The numbers behind the round
Start with the total stake, then follow the feature and the amount finally credited. This SM Pay review connects the published rules to the balance records an Australian reader would use to understand a round. Amounts in the worked examples are in Australian dollars; the actual account currency belongs in the game’s own display.
A useful record contains four items together: the selected stake, any separately priced mode, the round identifier and the settled return. A sequence of cascades or respins can look like many actions while still belonging to one original round. Match the complete result to the account history before interpreting the individual animations.
For a payment comparison, keep the game’s result separate from the cost of moving money. A currency conversion, deposit deduction or withdrawal fee changes the amount received by an account, but it does not change the game’s paytable. The related payment guides below explain how to compare those stages without counting the same amount twice.
Follow occupied cells and the remaining counter
The feature begins from a defined board state. Landed bonus symbols can remain in their positions while empty positions continue to take part in the respin sequence. A new symbol, collector or modifier may change both the amount displayed and the counter. Record those as separate changes: the number of occupied cells is not itself a cash value.
