Glitter Gems Slots
They say money makes the world go round and that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. If you are after the traditional, tacky casino feel and the opportunity to win large sums of money and wealth, in a very fun and upbeat manner without exerting oneself to anything too physical then you may be interested in trying Glitter Gems software by Ainsworth.
This 5-slot game has an impressive RTP of 95.74%. Jam-packed with special symbols, great game symbols, fun gameplay and great payouts, this game gives you your money’s worth. You might need to be capable of getting over the game’s design tackiness because it definitely is tacky.
A Little Too Tacky
Saying that this free Glitter Gems slot is tacky is an understatement. The loading screen is a little over the top when it comes to the ‘glitter’ part. Sure, it lives up to its name but we would’ve preferred something a little less extravagant. The overly glittery, tacky and glamorous theme runs through the entire gameplay. Seeing as we personally are fonder of the minimalistic designs, this review may be biased in that aspect.
How Do We Play?
The min bet is just 0.01 with a line bet of 0.01 and 1 payline. The max bet is 100.00 per line with a maximum of 30 paylines, putting the total up to 3000.00. The player also has the option to play for free if they feel too uncomfortable to play for real money. There is no download needed. This free Glitter Gems slot is mobile-optimised making it the perfect game to play on your Android phones, iPhone or tablets. You can also opt to play this on a computer with Internet connection.
Why We Love That Game
One of our favourite parts of the game is the fact that it is so intuitive to understand. The player is not overloaded with options to choose from. The player is expected to choose the line bet value and the number of paylines only. The player can choose the line bet from the main screen and the settings screen whilst they can only change the number of paylines from the settings screen. We do not see an overwhelming number of buttons on screen. We approve of this.
The payouts for landing 3 or more identical symbols are very impressive. The most high-paying symbol of the lot is the blue diamond scatter symbol which doubles up as the scatter symbol as well. Apart from the blue diamond symbol, we find a red seven, purple seven, dollars sign, pair of dice, gold gem, Jack symbol, King symbol, Queen symbol, the number 10, Ace symbol, mixed seven and the number 9 symbols.
Each of these give the player a different payout depending on the number of identical symbols in a payline and the type of symbol the player landed. Landing 5 diamond symbols in a payline gives the player a payout of 300,000.00.
Glitter Gems’ Special Symbols
There are two special symbols in game, wild symbols and scatter symbols. The wild symbol works as one would expect. It substitutes any other symbol other than the scatter symbol. Wilds appear on reels 3,4 and 5 only but are not part of the free games. 8 free games are granted on landing 3 or more scatter symbols on screen.
Comparing with the Dragon
For the purposes of this review we have decided to compare this slot game to another slot game we have recently tried. 88 Wild Dragon by Booongo offers the player 20 paylines, compared to Glitter Gems’ 30 paylines. The min bet and the max bet in the former is 0.20 and 100.00 respectively and in the latter is 0.01 and 3000.00. Both have wild symbols and scatter symbols. Even though Glitter Gems offers the player a wider range of flexibility, we still preferred 88 Wild Dragon since it had a better looking graphic design and better background music which complemented the game well.
A Try Hard Game
This free online slot is the perfect combination for anyone who appreciates simplicity with an effort. Although this game is very simple in nature, we can honestly feel the level of effort which was put into the game’s graphic design. Some could easily argue that too much effort has been put into the game and the game tries too hard to impress. We certainly felt this way.
Given all the flaws in the game, we still believe that the game is a great game for anyone who would like to make large sums of cash in the least time possible. There are some interesting symbols, including wild symbols and scatter symbols which give the player big advantages when playing this online game. You have a range of flexibility when playing the game and can bet any range from 0.01 and 3000.00. The game is very intuitive and self-explanatory. If this sounds like the game for you, give it a try. No download needed and you can even play it on your mobile.
