The IGT logo symbol pays the most, followed by three da Vinci portraits — Mona Lisa, Portrait of a Musician, and Lady with an Ermine — then the coloured gemstones. One published paytable lists five-of-a-kind values around 250x for the logo, 50x for Mona Lisa, 25x for the Musician portrait, 15x for Lady with an Ermine, and roughly 4x-5x for the gem symbols. The ranking holds across every source checked, even where the exact multipliers differ.
How the Da Vinci Diamonds Paytable Works
Da Vinci Diamonds runs on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines. A win requires at least three matching symbols on a payline, read left to right, and the reels stop and pay before the next spin begins — there is no cascading or tumbling mechanic in the standard version, despite that feature appearing on some newer IGT titles.
The symbol set splits into two clear tiers. The premium tier is built around Renaissance imagery: the IGT logo sits at the top of the paytable, above three portrait symbols drawn from da Vinci's work. The filler tier is made up of coloured gemstones, which pay far less and appear more often, as is standard for a classic reel-style slot from this era.
A pink diamond acts as the wild symbol. It substitutes for any of the regular paying symbols — logo, portraits, and gems alike — to complete a line that would otherwise miss. Sources do not confirm any expanding or multiplying behaviour attached to this wild; its role is a straightforward substitute.
A separate bonus symbol, distinct from every payline symbol, is the trigger for the free spins round. Landing three of these on the first three reels launches the feature, which runs on a modified reel set rather than the base-game reels. Exact spin counts and retrigger conditions are reported inconsistently between sources, so treat any specific spin number you see elsewhere with some caution.
There is no bonus buy option on this title. The free spins feature can only be reached through natural bonus symbol landings, which is typical of a game from 2007 rather than a modern release built around purchasable features.
Theoretical Payout Ceiling
Maximum payout — C$
Reported maximum win figures for Da Vinci Diamonds are not fully consistent: some sources describe the ceiling as a multiple of total stake, others tie it to line bet, and land-based cabinets can carry entirely different currency caps. Treat any single maximum-win figure as an estimate rather than a guaranteed cap, since the real payout on a given spin depends on your bet level and the specific configuration running at your casino.

IGT has released more than one title under the Da Vinci Diamonds name. Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play runs two simultaneous reel sets side by side, which changes how often symbols land even though the artwork looks similar. MegaJackpots Da Vinci Diamonds links the game to a progressive jackpot pool, which alters the payout structure at the top end.

Paytable Questions
Which symbol pays the most in Da Vinci Diamonds?
The IGT logo symbol sits at the top of the paytable. One published paytable lists its five-of-a-kind payout at around 250x, well above the next tier of portrait symbols.
How many bonus symbols are needed to trigger free spins?
Multiple sources point to three bonus symbols landing on the first three reels. Exact spin counts and retrigger rules vary by source, so check the in-game info screen for the version you're playing.
Does the wild symbol substitute for the bonus symbol too?
No. Sources describe the wild as substituting only for regular paying symbols — the logo, portraits, and gems. The bonus symbol functions separately to trigger the free spins feature.
Are the three portrait symbols worth the same amount?
No. Mona Lisa pays the most of the three, followed by Portrait of a Musician, then Lady with an Ermine, based on the documented paytable order.
Why do the gem symbols pay so little compared to the portraits?
They act as the low tier filler symbols typical of a classic 5x3 reel slot, appearing more frequently but paying a fraction of the premium portrait and logo values.
Is the paytable identical in Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play?
No. Dual Play runs two reel sets at once, which changes the effective symbol distribution even though the same portrait and gem artwork carries over from the original.
