Slot Review: Dioblo 13

We honestly don’t know why this game is called “Dioblo” 13, and not “Diablo” 13. The demonic-looking entities present on the reels definitely put us in mind of devils, which is what “Diablo” translates to in Spanish. The “13” is, at least, self-explanatory – it is considered an unlucky number in most of the Western world, to the point that many high rise buildings are deliberately built without a thirteenth floor! Also, the game has thirteen paylines. Regardless of the name, however, this is a really impressive online slot game. Dioblo 13 is a little scary, a little evil-looking, and very playable. It features some great graphics, although the jackpot is very tiny. We were pleased to see a substantial offering from the Top Game software firm, whose titles have struck us as very hit-or-miss in the past. (See our recent review of “Fantacy Nuts” for proof of this phenomenon.)

Dioblo 13 is a five-reel, thirteen-payline slot game. Coin values range from ten cents to five dollars, with max coins of thirteen (one per payline) making the highest per-spin wager one of sixty-five dollars. There is a jackpot of just six hundred coins, or three thousand dollars on a top wager.

Trios of jawless skulls, mystic blue eyeballs, an evil cat, and a horned demon all appear on the reels, which are set on a background looking like a gray and black stage that is all broken in places. The haunted house symbol is wild, and the gray-bearded wizard and the beautiful elf are the two scatter symbols. There is also a bonus round.
