20 Super Dice Pokies
Euro Gaming Technologies, or EGT, have a series of online casino pokies that are centred around dice, and perhaps the top game in this range is their 20 Super Dice video pokie, where players simply need to line these colourful symbols up for a win, and hopefully land a few wild and scatter payouts along the way.
While some online casino games have a number of bonus rounds, there’s no unique special features here, although in common with other EGT pokies, players are able to gamble their wins in the hope of multiplying each prize, and there’s a Jackpot Cards 4-level progressive prize round that can be triggered at any time.
5 reels, 20 fixed paylines and symbols arranged in 3 rows give this game a basic layout, and while free 20 Diamonds video pokie rounds can be enjoyed at many sites, getting to play for real money involves as stake of at least 0.20, which equates to 0.01 per line. This can then be adjusted upwards, and wins are calculated as multiples of the amount bet per line. Those wins, in normal play, come from 3, 4 or 5 of the same type of dice landing across a payline, in an unbroken sequence, running form the left side.
Playing 20 Super Dice
To see what each winning combination is worth, players should review the pay table, but it’s a simple scale that’s easy to understand. Purple, light blue and green dice are each worth 30x the line bet when 3 of a kind stop across a line, while 4 will pay out 60x and full lines of 5 wins a prize equal to 300x.
Next in value, we see the dark blue and the red dice that will each pay 60x, 120x or 600x, and top of the standard dice symbols is the yellow, that returns wins of 60x, 240x or 1200x the line bet for 3, 4 or 5 across the reels. Showers of coins fall down across the reels in celebration of any big win.
The Joker is a wildcard, and this slightly creepy-looking character has the useful ability to act as any dice if he can then complete a winning combination, while also paying out the biggest line wins of 120x, 1200x and 3000x when landing in the right places.

Extra Features
The biggest jackpots in the normal game however, are awarded by the scatter symbol, which for reasons best known to EGT is a green hieroglyphic image. It may be related to a dice game, but it’s not made clear how, and when players pick up prizes of 300x, 1200x or 30,000x the line bet when it stops in any 3, 4 or 5 spots, few will mind.
Although there’s no bonus rounds triggered by the scatter, there are a couple of other ways that players can collect big prizes, with an optional gamble round being offered on each winning spin that pays out less than 1500 coins. The aim of this round is to double the prize by clicking on the Red or Black buttons as a playing card rapidly flashes between the 2 colours. If players clicked at the right time, they can either collect the new win, or go again, but of course, any wrongly-timed click will lose the gamble feature along with the triggering bet.
EGT pokies all share a 4-level Jackpot Cards progressive feature which can start after any spin. Above the reels, players will see the different Club, Diamond, Heart and the top Spade jackpot amounts slowly rising and if the round is triggered, they will be shown 12 paying cards lying face-down. Clicking on a card reveals the suit, and once 3 of the same suit have been found, the corresponding jackpot is awarded and the round ends.
The Verdict
This type of pokie remains popular, even though there isn’t much in the way of features. Once the reels are spinning, it’s just a matter of seeing where the jewel symbols land and hoping for a big win from the scatter or wild icons, or maybe even triggering that Jackpot Cards round. It’s one of those nostalgic pokies that have never really gone out of style, and gamblers will either be attracted by the simplicity, or completely turned off by it.
It’s available across desktop sites, and you can play 20 Diamonds on mobile devices like smartphones and tablet computers as well.
