Mermaid’s Diamond builds its whole feature set around two characters: a mermaid who widens into a full wild reel, and Poseidon, who can step into a spin that has already finished. Play’n GO released the slot on 20 September 2017 and set it on five reels of unequal height — three, four, five, four and three rows — which produces 720 ways to win counted from either end of the reel set. A treasure chest scatter, a diamond meter and a free spins round complete the underwater theme.
Mermaid’s Diamond frames its reels inside a diamond shape, and that shape is functional rather than decorative. The 3-4-5-4-3 column heights are what generate the 720 ways, since every adjacent combination of matching symbols across the five reels counts as a separate path to a win. Combinations are read from reel one rightwards and from reel five leftwards.
Mermaid’s Diamond hands the mermaid the wild role and the treasure chest the scatter role. Three named mechanics sit on top of the base game: an expanding wild reel, the Divine Intervention mechanic that can add wilds or a missing chest, and a diamond collection that produces Trident Wilds inside the bonus round. Wildz lists the slot at medium volatility with a ceiling of 5,000 times the stake and no jackpot attached.

Mermaid’s Diamond is listed by Wildz Canada with a default RTP of 91.47%, medium volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x the stake. Stake limits and the exact mathematical build can vary between operators and markets, so the in-game information panel remains the correct reference for the version a player has open.
Mermaid’s Diamond settles a round once the reels stop and the game reads across the five columns for matching adjacent symbols. Reel heights of three, four, five, four and three multiply out to 720 possible paths, and all of them are covered by the single stake placed on the spin. There is no line selector, because the game does not use lines.
Mermaid’s Diamond then scores each qualifying path in both reading directions before the round closes. Any wild mechanic that applies is resolved inside the same round, at no extra cost. Every symbol position comes from the game’s random number generator, so the size of the stake and the outcome of earlier spins have no bearing on what the next arrangement produces.
Mermaid’s Diamond distributes its 720 ways across an uneven reel set instead of drawing fixed paylines over a rectangle. Multiplying the row counts of the five columns gives the total, and each way is evaluated automatically on every paid spin. A player therefore stakes the same amount whether few or many ways happen to connect.
Mermaid’s Diamond counts a right-to-left sequence exactly as it counts a left-to-right one, which is the reason the slot is described as paying both ways. More ways to qualify does not mean a different return: the 720-way structure is fixed inside the game’s mathematics, and no adjustment to bet size or spin speed alters how it resolves.
Mermaid’s Diamond expands its mermaid wild as soon as two or more of her land on the same reel. She extends across the whole column, and that reel then stands in for regular symbols wherever it can complete a combination. Because the centre reel holds five positions, an expansion there can feed a large number of the 720 ways at once.
Mermaid’s Diamond performs the expansion by itself, without a decision from the player and without a second wager. How many mermaids reach a reel is a random outcome of that spin, so the wild reel cannot be forced, and a long stretch of spins without one leaves the odds of the next expansion unchanged.
Mermaid’s Diamond writes Poseidon into the mechanics under the name Divine Intervention. The sea god can raise his trident on a spin and add extra wild symbols to the reels, which sometimes turns a blank layout into a paying one after the reels have already come to rest.
Mermaid’s Diamond puts the same mechanic to a second use at the edge of the bonus round. Where four treasure chests have landed on a spin that produced nothing, Divine Intervention can supply the fifth chest and open the free spins. Activation is decided by the random game system alone, so no stake level, session length or autoplay configuration makes the intervention more likely to arrive.
Mermaid’s Diamond triggers its free spins on five treasure chests anywhere across the reel set, whether they land unaided or arrive with Poseidon’s help. The player opens one chest, and the chest reveals the number of spins awarded, up to 25. The reveal belongs to the trigger sequence rather than being a separate pick feature with prizes of its own.
Mermaid’s Diamond replays the free spins at the triggering stake and carries the 720 ways and the mermaid wild reels straight into the round. Which chest is opened does not shape the outcome in the player’s favour, since the values behind the chests are generated before the choice is made.
Mermaid’s Diamond adds a diamond meter that runs only during the bonus round. Every diamond symbol that lands is collected, and reaching five diamonds brings Poseidon back to place Trident Wilds on the reels, where they substitute in the same way the mermaid does.
Mermaid’s Diamond fills that meter from ordinary random spin results, not on a fixed schedule. A short bonus round can finish before the fifth diamond arrives, and nothing about the number of spins left in the round guarantees that the Trident Wilds will be awarded.
Mermaid’s Diamond runs at a theoretical RTP of 91.47% in the build Wildz Canada lists. RTP is a long-run calculation taken over an extremely large number of spins, so it describes the game’s design rather than what any single session will return. The figure sits under the level most modern video slots are built to, which reflects the specific configuration supplied for this market.
Mermaid’s Diamond exists in more than one mathematical version, because Play’n GO offers operators a choice of settings. Checking the information menu inside the game before wagering is the only reliable way to confirm the percentage that applies to the copy being played.
Mermaid’s Diamond is listed at medium volatility. That rating describes a payout spread in which the 720-way base game returns smaller amounts fairly regularly, while the wild reels and the bonus round account for the less frequent larger results.
Mermaid’s Diamond keeps the same volatility in the base game and the free spins, and the rating never shifts during play. It says nothing about timing: a run of losing spins does not make a large win due, because each round is generated independently of every round before it.
Mermaid’s Diamond caps its top result at 5,000x the total stake. On a $1 spin that corresponds to a theoretical maximum of $5,000, before any limits an operator applies separately. No jackpot sits above that number — the game carries none — so 5,000x is the whole ceiling rather than a base-game figure with a pool on top.
Mermaid’s Diamond would need expanded wild reels, Divine Intervention and a productive bonus round to align before the maximum came within reach. Treating the figure as a technical limit of the game’s mathematics is more accurate than treating it as an outcome ordinary play works towards.
Mermaid’s Diamond is played by opening the game, reading the paytable and rules screens, choosing a stake within the 0.20 to 100 range and starting a spin. Each paid spin covers all 720 ways, after which the random result determines the symbols, any wild expansion and any progress towards the treasure chest trigger.
Mermaid’s Diamond players in Canada should confirm the version-specific RTP, stake limits and feature conditions before switching from demo credits to real money. Meeting the legal gambling age that applies where the player is located, and completing any verification the casino requires, comes before a real-money round is placed.
Yes, Mermaid’s Diamond runs on compatible smartphones and tablets. Play’n GO builds one version of the slot for desktop and mobile, so the diamond-shaped reel frame, the 720 ways and all three feature mechanics rescale to a smaller screen without anything being cut.
Mermaid’s Diamond normally opens straight in a supported mobile browser and needs no separate download. Device age, browser version and connection quality can still affect how smoothly the reels and the bonus animations run.
Yes, Mermaid’s Diamond can be played for free in demo mode at Wildz Canada. The demo uses virtual credits and runs the full game, which makes it a straightforward way to watch how the mermaid expands, how Divine Intervention behaves and how quickly the diamond meter fills.
Mermaid’s Diamond demo winnings are not withdrawable, since the balance is virtual rather than deposited. The demo is best treated as a way to learn the mechanics before deciding whether to move to real-money play.
Mermaid’s Diamond sits in the Wildz Canada catalogue alongside the rest of the Play’n GO library, in both demo and real-money modes. Canadian players can open the slot in a browser on desktop or mobile, review the paytable, and place stakes in Canadian dollars subject to the casino’s own limits.
Mermaid’s Diamond real-money play is governed by the rules that apply where the player is located, together with the operator’s terms. Age requirements, identity verification and any deposit or loss limits a player has set all apply before a spin is placed.
Mermaid’s Diamond is subject to gambling rules set at provincial and territorial level in Canada rather than by a single federal regulator. Each province and territory sets its own legal gambling age and decides how, and whether, online casino gaming is licensed within its borders. The result is a patchwork of frameworks rather than one national system.
Mermaid’s Diamond players must meet a minimum age of 18 or 19 depending on where they are located. Alberta sets the age at 18 and regulates its private iGaming market through the AGLC and the Alberta iGaming Corporation, following the launch on 13 July 2026. Most other provinces and territories have no online casino licensing regime of their own, so play runs through internationally licensed operators under those operators’ terms.
| Province or territory | Legal Casino Gambling Age | Main Regulator | Market Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alberta | 18+ | AGLC / Alberta iGaming Corporation | Regulated private iGaming market, launched 13 July 2026 |
| Ontario | 19+ | AGCO / iGaming Ontario | Closed market, open only to operators registered with iGaming Ontario |
| Other provinces and territories | 18 or 19, set provincially | Provincial lottery and gaming corporations | No provincial online casino licensing regime; play runs through internationally licensed operators under their own terms |
Mermaid’s Diamond players should confirm the age and identity requirements that apply to them before depositing. Responsible gambling tools — deposit caps, loss limits, session reminders and self-exclusion — are offered by licensed operators and can be set before the first real-money spin.
Mermaid's Diamond scores wins from matching symbols on neighbouring reels rather than drawn lines. Column heights of three, four, five, four and three multiply out to 720 ways, all of them covered by a single stake, and combinations count from the left and from the right.
Wildz Canada lists Mermaid's Diamond at a theoretical RTP of 91.47%. RTP describes the game's design across an extremely large number of spins rather than any one session. Because Play'n GO offers several mathematical builds, the in-game information menu confirms the version being played.
