The slot is plainly all about gems. Characteristics like beauty, defect less-ness, brightness, purity, rarity, and certain demand define the gems as extremely valuable and pricey.
In this Deluxe machine, you will certainly feel bereaved from an original theme/story/characters – none of those is offered. But you will most definitely enjoy the Mega Symbols, Symbols-upgrade, Free Spins, and the game’s superstar: the Hyperspins.
The game is built on a 5×3 playing field with 20 pay lines across. It comes with a High Volatility, an RTP of 96.36%, and a maximum winning prospect of 100 000 CAD (via the highest stake of 100 CAD), or 1000x the total bet.
There is no need to know about gemstone cutting or polishing to win some of the fine rocks in this game. Just launch the game for free and without registration on our site, and after some practice – go for real credits play at any Microgaming’s casino.
Personal testers’ opinion about Reel Gems Deluxe slot
- Reel Gems Deluxe is an irresistible mix of ordinariness and starriness. Just give it a try, and you will see. Of course, it is ordinary in topic, design and symbols style. But it is a star regarding profitability! We love a game that really pays well, especially with small-size stakes.
- An encouraging jazzy soundtrack is pepping the tempo here, spurring on our optimistic eagerness to catch as much as possible identical precious stones. Every now and then in the main game, the background goes purple, pushing through the radiant trail of gems on the left side of the grid: meaning the Radiant Spin is coming. We absolutely love this feature, although the concept of mystery/stacked/Mega (3×3) symbols is not new. After that comes our next favourite: the Hyperspins. The feeling of being in control provided by the Hyperspins and the freedom to choose which particular reel to spin next makes them super tempting (and addictive, unfortunately).
- The paytable is just acceptable – nothing to shout about for a 20-liner. The Scatter (Diamond with FS signature) pays 100x, the Wild (Game logo) 50x for 5OAK, and the rest of the symbols on the provision board deliver between 15x (for the orange precious stone) to 1x (for the J-card), all for 5OAK on any of the pay lines.
- Even the low figures of the paytable, the disappointing maximum capability per spin (1000x the total bet), and the lowly hit frequency (near 22%) will not deter our team from playing this game often because we felt indulged by this slot. We have had a maximum hit of 236x the total bet and many other decent sessions, but most importantly, we hadn’t left this game with a loss. Now that is testimony enough, is in it?
Altogether, we strongly recommend playing the Reel Gems Deluxe at least once with real credits. To enjoy this fine Microgaming slot, you need to select a stake that is suited to your financial situation, but note that this online slot shows a little susceptibility to the size of the bet (‘likes’ the small stakes – until 2 CAD better). It is clearly not a superpotential game, but if you are satisfied with rewards in the range of 250x -300x the total bet, you will definitely bask in here—neutral advice for the bonus money wagering.
The Reel Gems Deluxe is a reskin of the Goldaur Guardians – a fantasy-styled Alchemy Gaming slot, released just a couple of months earlier in the same 2020. We sure disapprove of practices as cloning/mirroring/reskinning. Here too – we will express our disapprobation whenever we see a case of Quantity triumphing over Quality and Reskinning (with only quick exterior tweak) prevailing over Inventiveness! Hence, our enthusiasm to play any of those 2 games has greatly receded.
Bonus Features
- Wilds – The game logo acts as a Wild symbol. It is paid as 50x the total bet for 5OAK and substitutes for any other symbol except Scatter.
- Hyperspins – After each base spin, you are given a chance to Re-spin any single reel at a cost.
You can use this function to:
– using intuition and following the price under the reel self (the higher the cost – the bigger chance to break the bank). - Radiant Spin – This function can be triggered in the main game at random. One high-value gem is appointed as a piled 2×3 stack, filling the entire reels 1-2. At the same time, Mega symbols of 3×3 gems or Wilds are spinning on the right side of the grid – reels 3-4-5. These transformations often result in a full screen of 1 only symbol, i.e. huge wins: 40x/50x/80x/300x/1000x for respectively Blue/Green/Red/Yellow/Wild symbols.
- Free Spins -3/4/5 Scatters (Diamond with FS signature) will launch 5/7/10 FS correspondingly. The round always starts at the bottom – Blue gem 2×3 stacked at the left side of the grid and 3×3 Mega symbols at the right side (similarly to the Radiant Spin). You practically only spin the right side (reels 3-4-5), hoping to get matching symbols on both sides of the playing field. Now a new symbol comes into play – a Mega re-trigger block. Whenever you get that fully on the right side, you will receive additional FS and upgrade to the next gem of the radiant trail.
