Diamonds Power: Hold and Win: game rules and edition
The complete original name includes Hold and Win without XXL. When a catalogue offers several Diamonds titles, match both the developer and that suffix.

Find the right title and understand its feature
This Boomerang AU guide gives each game a precise catalogue identity and a rule-based overview. A familiar logo or shared character can lead to several related editions, so the full title and developer are kept together throughout the review.
A catalogue entry, a game rules screen and an account promotion serve different purposes. The entry identifies the title, the rules explain play and the promotion defines any external offer. Matching all three is useful when a game family contains several versions with nearly identical artwork.
The related account guides help interpret the surrounding payment and bonus information. They do not change the game’s documented mechanics. Use the comparison table to distinguish editions, then use the current account screens for method support, offer status and available balance.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
After identifying the title, keep the game rules separate from the account’s cash and bonus records. A permitted base game, an excluded optional mode and a completed promotional package are different states. The related Boomerang account guides help identify the screen or written term that answers each question.
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.
