Super Quick Hit Playboy: Sunset Sapphire and Midnight Diamonds
- This Super Quick Hit series has a very exciting theme, Playboy
- Two versions are available: Sunset Sapphire and Midnight Diamonds
- This sexy slot offers some great features with big rewards
The Super Quick Hit Playboy slot series is a sexy and fun series of slots from Bally. As you can imagine, the Playboy theme really spices things up making these slots some of the most attractive out there. Founded in 1953 by the legendary Hugh Hefner, Playboy became an instant success with it’s very first issue, and has now grown into a worldwide brand. It’s little wonder that Bally wanted to use such a brand for a series of slots, and although the target audience is clearly men, women may certainly find the features this slot has to offer very appealing.
This review will discuss both games in the series: Playboy Sunset Sapphires slot and Playboy Midnight Diamonds slot. Both have very similar gameplay, with only a few changes made mostly to the theme itself and the symbols. They are both 5 reel, 30 line slots with 500 max credit bets. The aim is to achieve a winning combination from left to right with the base symbols which can reward either credits or a bonus feature, potentially leading to even bigger rewards. As mentioned earlier, the base symbols differ slightly for each game, here they are listed in ascending order based on their value:
- Any Bar 5 or Bar, Cuff Links or a Drink (for Sunset Sapphires), Bowtie or Poker Chip (for Midnight Diamonds).
- Bar
- Bar 5
- Any 7’s, Double 7’s or Triple 7’s
- 7’s
- Double 7’s
- Triple 7’s
- Playboy Bunny
The Playboy Bunny also serves as a Wild for all the above symbols in both versions of the game.

The Super Quick Hit Playboy Series Slot Bonuses and Features
Super Quick Hit Bonus. The fundamental feature of the Super Quick Hit series, this bonus is triggered by scattered Super Quick Hit symbols on the screen. The payout is based on the number of these symbols to appear, with a payout of 1x total bet, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 750x, 1500x for 3, 4, 5 …up to 12 scattered Super Quick Hit symbols, respectively. From 5-12 scattered symbols, you will instead get paid the equivalent number of Quick Hit Jackpots with max credit bet. Note that 10, 11 or 12+ of these symbols are only available in the Respin Bonus Feature, High Rise Free Games or Sunset Sapphires Free Games (for Playboy Sunset Sapphires slot), or Raining Quick Hit Free Games (for Playboy Midnight Diamonds slot).
Respin Bonus Feature. 3 Gold Super Quick Hit symbols appearing on reel 3 will trigger this feature, expanding the reels up to 3 additional rows. Any gold or non-gold Super Quick Hit symbols that appear at the start of the feature become bordered and lock in place for the remainder of the feature. A single respin is awarded, after which pays are evaluated and the feature ends.
Wheel Bonus Feature. 3 scattered Sapphires (for Sunset Sapphires) or Diamonds (for Midnight Diamonds) on reels 2, 3 and 4 will start this feature, providing a spin of the dual wheel. If this stops on High Rise Free Games, then the associated bonus is awarded and the feature stops. The same applies to Sunset Sapphires Free Games, for Sunset Sapphires, or Raining Super Quick Hit, for Midnight Diamonds. A credit value can also be awarded, the Bonus Multiplier will then also spin and award a multiplier, multiplying that credit value before ending the feature.
High Rise Free Games. This is initiated from the aforementioned Wheel Bonus Feature, providing 8 free games and 1x total bet. For free games 1 and 2, 30 lines are played. Free game number 3 and 4 are expanded to 4 rows with 55 pay lines, 5 and 6 have an additional row with 80 pay lines, and 7 and 8 with yet another row with 105 pay lines. Additional free games can be awarded with the Free Games symbol, available on reel 5 only, and these are played on 6 rows with 105 pay lines. There are 5 Playboy figure symbols available during this feature which are Wild and substitute for all symbols except Free Games and Super Quick Hit.
Sunset Sapphire Free Games. This game is unique to Playboy Sunset Sapphire slot, and is initiated by the Wheel Bonus Feature, awarding 6 free games and 1x total bet. Game 1 is played at 30 lines, 2 at 55 lines with an extended row, 3 and 4 with an additional row and 80 pay lines, with 5 and 6 at one final row with 105 pay lines. If 3 or more Super Quick Hit symbols appear, the Booster Wheel Feature may activate, replacing a Super Quick Hit symbol with a numbered variant of itself, which counts as that many Super Quick Hit symbols.
Raining Super Quick Hit Free Games. 5 games are awarded here, with the same number of paylines and rows as Sunset Sapphire Free Games (see above). Free game 2 awards 1 locked Gold Super Quick Hit, game 3 awards 2, game 4 awards 3 and finally games 5 awards 4. These will only appear on the original 3 rows. No additional free games can be awarded.
Conclusion
What Bally have offered here then is a delightful and playful theme based on a global brand based around sexuality, packed full of features with plenty of rewards to be had. It’s a very clever idea, and reminds me of Betty Boop’s 5th Avenue which takes a similar approach. I also like how there are two versions of this game which, while they play very similarly, have enough different about them to keep the game entertaining for longer. Overall, a well recommend slot worth trying out.
