Gems n Jewels Online Slot Machine Review

Gems games are huge in the world of mobile phone gaming. I have seen people swap the position of coloured gems for hours on end – with the only prize on offer the next (harder) level up. It is only natural that slots makers create hybrid games which include elements of gambling as well as gems. This is exactly what has happened with Gems n Jewels. This slot looks great, unfortunately it lacks in a very important area – interesting game play. Other slot makers have created some really good games in this niche. Examples include Da Vinci Diamonds from IGT and Gemix from Play N Go. If you like simple, lower intensity slots games with the potential for big wins, then Gems n Jewels is worth a quick spin. If the gaming experience is what you are after, then you should try a different kind of slot.

The graphics are very good; these are clean and clear with nice sparkling light effects. The vivid colouring makes this slot easy to see on smaller screens. All of the symbols are either gems or playing card signs – without a jewel in sight. I’m assuming that ‘Gems and other Gems’ was not considered a suitable name! There is a dance type track on continual loop in the background; this is mild enough to liven things up without being annoying. The ‘dringgg’ sounds for wins are better than many similar noises on Saucify slots too. There are some animations, sparkling and rotating gems for example. Overall a clean and attractive slot, though it will not be winning any awards for design.

Just one free spins game is available to keep you interested in this slot. This does have tripled wins, which is where the larger pay-outs will come from with this game.

Setup and Play for Gems n Jewels

This slot has 50 lines based on a standard 5 reels, 3 rows of symbols setup. You can select from these, as well as choosing your coin size and also the number of coins per line. The minimum spin amount is 50c, with $60 spins possible for the high rollers. Auto-spin is available for this game.

Diamonds are wild, and also have the biggest prize. You will get 6000 coins for 5 of these on a line, and 1300 coins for just 3. All the regular symbols can be substituted by the diamond, with the exception of the scatters (ruby and emerald).

There are 6 more gems in the regular pay-outs list. In descending order these are the blue one (2500 for 5), pearl (1500), purple one (1000), green (800), lighter blue (400) and orange (400). The playing card symbols are made to look sparky, and make up the smaller wins.

Ruby symbols will pay out regardless of where they land on the reels. If you hit 5 of these scatter symbols, you get 150 times your total spin amount, with 50x for just 4. The emerald also has scatter pay-outs (50x for 5, 25x for 4, 5x for 3). This symbol also triggers the free spins bonus, with 30 spins for 5, 20 spins for 4 and 10 spins for 3.

Gems n Jewels – Free Spins Feature

This is not the most interesting of features, though with all wins tripled you can end up with some big wins by the time it finishes. You will see a countdown of remaining spins, and total wins will add up on the right. Other than that, play is identical to the main game – maybe just a little faster. You can add more spins to your total while playing with 3+ more emeralds. This round is where the potential for big pay-outs come. Tripled wins mean that 5 wilds will get you a generous 18,000 coins if you are lucky enough to land them.

Gems n Jewels – Conclusion

There is nothing wrong with this slot, which is a solid and well produced lower-intensity game. At the same time there really is nothing remarkable about it either. Even if you are a huge fan of the gems genre, there are many better options out there. The single saving grace for this slot is the free spins bonus game, where your wins are tripled. This alone is not enough to keep me coming back. If you're new to slots and enjoy gem-based games, then why not check out Gems n Jewels for yourself.
