Pay Upgrade™ Series
About this machine
Blazin’ Diamond™ and Lightning Wilds™ feature the exciting element of persistence in the three reel mechanical space through the Pay Upgrade feature. Land the Pay Upgrade symbol on reel 3 to trigger the feature which pays double on all 7 and bar wins for the next three spins. Both games include three tiers of progressives triggered by combinations of wilds and the Pay Upgrade symbol. Lightning Wilds includes multipliers on 7s and bar symbols while Blazin’ Diamond has 2X wilds and a 2X pay upgrade trigger.

Where Pay Upgrade™ Series sits in Everi's range
Mechanically it is a 3 reels / 9 pay lines game. Pay-line games award only on defined line patterns, which typically means fewer but larger hits than an equivalent ways-to-win title.
What's the RTP of Pay Upgrade™ Series?
There isn't one number — and any site quoting you a single figure is describing a different product.
Manufacturers ship the same title in multiple par versions, commonly spanning roughly 85% to 96%. The casino chooses which one to install, and that choice is not disclosed on the machine. Nevada regulation only sets a floor: every wager must theoretically return at least 75%.
What regulators actually publish is hold percentage — realised performance after player behaviour, aggregated by region and denomination. It is never broken out by game title. So the honest answer for any land-based machine is a range plus an unknown configuration, not a single figure.
Figures quoted elsewhere for this title are almost always taken from its online version, which is a different product with a different maths model.
Where to play
We don't yet have verified floor placements for this machine. Our casino cross-reference covers 442 properties, but only through IGT's public linked-progressive data — which doesn't reach Everi titles. We would rather show nothing than guess.

Class II titles run on a shared bingo draw rather than an independent RNG — a different product category, not just a different game.
