The Three Musketeers and the Queen's Diamond Slot

A slot from Playtech based on the famous three musketeers. The slot comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 50 adjustable paylines, can be played for as little as 0.01 per spin but really just play all 50 lines for a better playing experience. There are several features but the main one is the queens diamond quest. The three bonus features are related to the three musketeers and for them to appear with their weapon will award that feature. Also the free spins feature you get if you get the free spins symbols on reel 1 and 5. These occur frequently but the feature you really want is the main quest, “the Queen’s Diamond Bonus” as I said because that has the biggest winning potential. To get that quest and you gotta land the prince symbol anywhere on reel 2 and reel 4. This is a fun adventure bonus and you start off with a couple of heart lives in case you run into some trouble to help you keep going forward to completing the mission. You can pick up extra hearts along the way and of course some coins. I can tell you the first time I played this slot I got the queen’s diamond bonus and went all the way to the end and also picked correctly for the diamond. It paid me a nice 108x. Although I have had about 15 features on this slot only a few times was it the Queen’s Diamond Bonus, it is rare but can pay well if you make it to the end and pick the correct treasure chest. Somehow I was able to get that welcoming experience on the first attempt. There are 5 stages to get through so you gotta get really lucky tho.

This game has no potential for very large wins. The base game doesn’t pay much at all the most I had during the base game was just 10x and that was after doing over 700 spins. Most base wins are less than your stake. Overplaying this slot comes with a penalty.

The Three Musketeers is a video slot game from Playtech. This game`s full name is actually The Three Musketeers and the Queen`s Diamond to be more precise. I played this game only once. I got some wins during the base game that were coming on regular basis but I was so disappointed of the special features.

This game comes with plenty of features and I was getting the free spins most of the time. Scatter symbols on the first and fifth reel trigger the free spins. Every scatter adds 3 free spins. During the free spins if you get a free spins scatter it adds to the number of free spin. So during the bonus round I ended up with around 15 free spins and 2.80 euros win only. The free spins round turned out to be a disaster but I had some regular wins during the base game which kept my balance.

Another feature is the Queen`s Diamond Bonus where the fourth musketeer comes in action. You need Dartagnan on the second and fourth reel to trigger this bonus. In order to win you need to go through 5 stages. I found this bonus game really time consuming and not rewarding at all. I passed all 5 stages and I got only 35 x bet win in the end.

The three musketeers have a bonus that is associated with each character. The first one is Splendid Sword of Porthos in which you get one re-spin with one reel turned wild. The second one is Wild Muskets of Athos which gives you again one re-spin and a random wild on the second, third and fourth reel. The last one is the Golden Daggers of Artemis where you need to choose from two bags of gold for a cash prize. I did not manage to trigger any of these bonuses, but I think that even if I did they would not change anything drastically.

Watching The Three Musketeers movie can be as hilarious as watching The 3 Stooges movie. Well, okay, not really, because those 3 dumbbells are a legend in the comedy realm, whilst the three musketeers heroes of justice in their time. When this game was first released some years ago, I played it a number of times and enjoyed the animations and the humour those guys brought forth. This much I can appreciate, even today. But on other aspects of the game, there's plenty that I like, there's plenty that I don't like either, but we'll come to this later on.

I love the various feature games that can be won. There's Porthos with his sword, Athos with his pistols, Aramis with his dagger, and D'Artagnan with his quest for the queen's diamond. There's also the free spins game as usual, awarding up to 24 free spins, depending on how many of the activating symbols appeared on reels 1 and 5. I cannot really say which of these feature games could or would pay the biggest win, because none of them has that potentiality. I don't even know if its possible at all to get those stacked Wilds on all 5 reels, but even so, the highest value those Wilds could substitute would be the weapons symbol, with a total possible win of just 12,500x the line bet. That is dreadfully low for getting fully stacked Wilds on all 5 reels!

Other than liking to see those very nice and humorous animations of those musketeers doing their own thing, there really isn't anything more that I can say I like. This is such a sad thing, because The 3 Musketeers game could have become the next big hit for Playtech, but the flaws in the game design really kept it from becoming a hit!

Have you really played this 3 Musketeers game seriously? By that, I mean playing the game many times over a period of time. If you have, then you should realise that winning on this game is very very hard indeed! Why? Just have a good look at the paytable. The Wilds do not pay anything, neither do they double any wins. The scatters only pay 2x and 7x total bet, with no possibility of getting 5 scatters at all. The feature games all have limited winning potential, be it the Porthos, Athos or Aramis game. Only the D'Artagnan game has the best potential of the lot, but even that with only a maximum win of 7x the total amount collected. Good but not a lot! The highest paying symbols, the weapons, only pay 250x the line bet for 5 of them. The free spins game can award up to 24 free spins at the start, with additional 3 spins added with free spin symbol appearing, but all wins are not doubled nor tripled! All in all, a very disappointing payout potential. I like playing the game, just as I love watching their movies, but every time I played the game, I would only end up losing! Bad bad musketeers... the game, not the heroes!

The Three Musketeers and the Queen's Diamond is slot powered by Playtech software company. It has 5 reels with 50 pay lines. I like the name, theme and design into this game and this was the reason why I played it for some time.

The minimum bet is set to 0.5€. This video slot offer many different bonus game and features. There are three the mighty musketeers features: wild muskets of Athos, splendid sword of Porthos and golden daggers of Aramis. Each feature is trigger by different combinations of two symbols. One feature offer cash prizes, at other two features you win one re-spin with wilds. When I played it, I got only once Wild muskets of Athos and I won below x10 bet. I think this features could not provide big wins, because there is only one re-spin which is really bad.

The bonus game is pick up game. You have to select right things to progress into next rounds with different prizes. I think the bonus could be fun, but I never got it.

At free spins feature you can win up to 24 free games. I triggered feature once and I won 15 free games. During free games you can won additional free spins and you can also trigger bonus game and three musketeers features. I won here only around 7€ from 0.5€ which is not so good. I think the payouts are low here, this game could not provide any really big win.

Otherwise I like the animations, design, music in this video slot. I could play it more often, but I will not. The main reason is because I do not think this game has big potential on winnings. The base game was boring with all small winnings, I expected more fun from it. I will rate it with 6 out of 10 possible stars.

From the moment of its launch in March 2014, "The Three Musketeers and the Queen's Diamond" slot began his career to become one of the most popular games of Playtech, and this can be found just after a little research on major gambling websites and forums where players talk mainly about what fun they consider this game, and to some extent also about their perception of fair play; personally I very much agree with the general opinion about this version of The Three Musketeers, because although the rates set on the paytable for formation of common lines may look low, it is also true that this slot of 4 x 5 reels and 50 paylines has pretty good hitting average, but it is better yet the variety and generosity of its bonus and free spins rounds, the latter more because of its frequency and amount of spins than for additional features associated to it, so although free games are paid to just 1x and nothing extraordinary happens during them, what you can expect from this feature is that it can be triggered on a relative regular basis and in volumes from 6 to 24 free games each time, which to me is much better than getting a round of free games awarded with attractive multipliers but that hardly happens.

About the bonus rounds, each of the Musketeers, D'Artagnan, Porthos, Athos and Aramis has its own round and each can be as generous as Lady Luck allows at the time, the main one, "The Queen's Diamond Bonus "round, which is triggered by the appearance of two scatters of D'Artagnan and which leads us up to 5 different stages where we may choose one of 3 options each time to win and advance to the next stage, even in some cases we are entitled to an extra pick in case of missing the shot, so here we most of times go reaping great prizes during the march, it is a feature rather amusing and virtually unable to disappoint anyone.

I think good reputation of this slot is well justified since each area of interest has been well covered by Playtech, from its attractive design to its ability to generate profits, it is a game not to be missed, no doubt.
