Six card suits fill up the lower part of the paytable. Nothing new here, but what set this slot apart back then was the innovation for that time Re-spin function. A true novelty in 2010. It allows the player to spin reels separately, getting a second chance to land a win still.
In fact, you can spin the same reel or any other reel as often as you wish, but for it all, you will be extra charged, of course. The toll for the Re-spin is clearly pointed out, so it’s up to the player to decide what’s wise and what’s reckless.
The slow jazzy “elevator music” is in stark contrast with the excitement of the Re-spin feature, but it’s helpful in the sense that it keeps your emotions in control. When you know there is a 120 000 coins grand prize just around the corner; this is no easy feat. With a Medium Volatility and plenty of RTP – 96.52%, this machine might just become one of the few in your “precious” slots collection.

Personal testers’ opinion about Reel Gems slot
- Simple or not, the Re-spin feature makes every spin exciting. Do it! Or don’t do it? Which reel? More than once? Another reel, maybe? So many opportunities and probabilities. It’s not for indecisive people, that’s for sure. It could take them up to 10 minutes before they finally muster up the courage to activate the spin button, close their eyes and slowly open them to see the result.
(If they only knew how the RNG – Random Number Generator is working even behind the scene, even when you delay to push with a single second…) - Anyway, we had a blast with this function, even though we soon realized: it rarely seems to work in the players’ favour. The slot hit probability is statistically around 40% (near 4 out of 10 spins results in some kind of win), which is above average. But then again, that doesn’t mean anything when the wins are smaller than the bet. However, 5OAK of the cheap symbols are coming easy here, and our testers did score a max win of 119x the total bet in the base game. The problem is the Free Spins. Despite the multiplier x3 on each spin, the average figure of the test bonus spins didn’t come above 26x the total bet. So, don’t hold your hopes high for the bonus payouts. Only 1 of the 15 spins carries a large payout in this mode, resulting in an unsatisfactory total outcome of the bonus. Plus, the Free Spins are also not triggered too often – every 197th spin, statistically.
- Downright spelled: the slot is old-fashioned but still popular, with a high RTP but not always lavish in payouts. Unfortunately, the gems are also not markedly good at maintaining the balance levelled for extended sessions. So, we can only allot neutral directions to the players willing to exploit this slot for bonus money wagering – 5.1 index points (out of 10).
