40 Shining Diamond Bell Link

40 Shining Diamond Bell Link is a classic fruit machine from EGT Digital that carries the studio’s Bell Link jackpot on top of a familiar fruit-and-sevens layout. It uses 5 reels and 4 rows with 40 fixed paylines, and it reached online casinos in November 2026. The theme is simple and bright: a big blue diamond, golden bells and old-school fruit symbols on a deep blue background.

A Fruit Machine In A Blue Frame

The reels sit inside a golden frame, with the red, green, blue and purple jackpot bars running along the top of the screen and a plate on the left that reads 40 Lines Fixed. The low-paying symbols are cherries, lemons, oranges, plums and grapes, while watermelons, triple BAR blocks and the red lucky seven pay more. At the bet level shown in the paytable, five sevens on a line return 1,500, five BAR blocks return 200 and five of any of the plain fruits return 150, so the top of the table is clearly reserved for the sevens and the watermelons and grapes next to them.

Diamond Wild And Two Scatters

The diamond is the wild, and it only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it lands, it substitutes for the other symbols on its reel, but not for the scatters or the bell symbols. Two separate scatters sit in the paytable. The golden dollar sign pays anywhere on the screen, and the purple star pays when it appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. With the highest bet selected, the paytable lists 5,000 for five dollar signs, 1,000 for four and 150 for three, and 1,000 for three stars. Because these scatters do not need a payline, they can turn an otherwise quiet spin into a decent win.

The Bell Link Jackpot

The feature that gives the game its name is Bell Link, a multi-denomination jackpot with four levels. Grand and Major are progressive levels, while Minor and Mini are non-progressive levels with fixed values, and the header bars on the screen show the current amounts. The paytable also describes special bell symbols for the jackpot levels. Three red bells on the screen during the base game or during the Bell Link feature award the Grand level immediately, and a red bell can show up up to three times per base game or feature round. A green bell that appears on the screen during the base game or the Bell Link feature awards the Major level, and it can land only once per round.

In practice you notice the bells before you notice the jackpot. Golden bell symbols drop onto the reels with cash amounts on them, values such as 50, 100, 150, 250, 500 and even 1,000 can appear on single bells. When several of them land together, the screen starts to look like a Hold and Spin round, and the coin pile in the lower left corner of the frame is a good hint of what the game is aiming for. The progressive bars above the reels keep counting while you play, so the jackpot values are never the same twice.

Reels Boost And Other Surprises

Alongside the bells, a small Reels Boost tile can drop onto the grid. When a win is paid, the line is drawn over the reels and the caption at the bottom names the line and the multiplier applied, for example a line win that combines three sevens with a diamond on the middle reel. Wins appear with a short fiery animation around the winning symbols, and the last win is always shown in the lower right corner so you can follow the session without doing the maths.

Playing It

The control bar at the bottom offers five ready-made bet buttons from 5 to 50, so a single click sets the stake for all 40 lines. The round button on the right spins the reels, a long press gives you the fast mode, and there is a separate speed button next to it. The autoplay menu lets you run 10, 20, 50 or 100 spins and set stop conditions on balance and on single wins. A small help icon in the bottom row opens the paytable, which is long and is worth scrolling through once, because the jackpot rules are at the very end.

Reading The Paytable

The paytable pages open as a pop-up over the reels and scroll vertically. They start with the diamond wild and the two scatters, then list every fruit symbol with the payout for three, four and five of a kind, and end with the Bell Link jackpot pages. Lower symbols such as lemons, cherries, oranges and plums pay on three matching symbols from the left, which is why the base game keeps returning small wins, while the sevens and the watermelons need longer lines to show their strength. Because all 40 lines are always active, even a modest bet covers the whole grid and no line has to be chosen by hand.

RTP, Volatility And Max Win

The game has an RTP of 96.27% and a medium to high volatility. The maximum win is 7,640 times the stake, which is well above what the plain fruit symbols can pay and shows that the real money in this game sits with the Bell Link jackpot. Bets are fixed to 40 lines, so the only decision is the stake size.

Who Will Enjoy It

This is a slot for players who like the look and the sound of a real fruit machine but still want a jackpot to chase. The rules fit into a few lines, the screen is easy to read and the jackpot bars give every spin a little tension. If you prefer features with long bonus rounds and many mechanics, the game may feel simple, but fans of the Bell Link series will find exactly what they expect: fruit, sevens, bells and four jackpot levels.
