ABOUT THE GAME
An Aztec-themed 8x8 video slot where the coloured markings form a part leading you to an incredible Spin Feature with nuclear power. This game is rife with collectable symbols, meters, modifiers and a stack of extras. The massive grid area allows 64 symbols to be released onto the grid with each spin. On the right side of the board, you have a furnace symbolising the lost treasure, and on the left, you can see a bird's eye view of the complex. The music puts you in a relaxing mood with a synth-heavy music tone, which is great for meditation.
This is as high as it gets in terms of volatility, meaning that Gems Bonanza can easily reward you with great wins or leave you empty-handed for the next couple of spins. As with most Pragmatic Play slots, Gems Bonanza RTP is subjective as it's the casino's choice; it can be higher in certain casinos and lower in others; the default setting is 96.55%. The max win is 10,000x your bet.
STEP 1: HOW TO BET
The minimum bet in Gems Bonanza is €0.20 (or currency equivalent), and the maximum bet is €100. You can adjust your maximum bet value by clicking the minus/plus buttons on the user interface.
The game allows you to adjust the coin value and the bet level, enabling a wide range of betting options.
Whether you're a cautious player or a high roller, the Gems Bonanza slot by Pragmatic Play caters to different betting styles.
STEP 2: LEARN THE SYMBOLS
There are seven symbols on the reels, all in the form of gems. The most rewarding ones are the Red Jewels, paying 1,000x your total stake.
Starting from the lower value games and working up to the Red Jewel, we have: Blue Gemstone, Pink Gemstone, Yellow Gemstone, Turquoise Gemstone, Green Gemstone, Purple Gemstone, Red Gemstone and the Wild. For each symbol if a collection of 25 land they pay 50x, 75x, 100x, 150x, 300x, 500x, 1,000x, respectively. So make sure to keep an eye out for the Red Gemstone as that gives out the best reward.
The Wild symbol substitutes any symbols and only appears in the special spin features called Wild Gem or Lucky Wilds features.
During the base game, there might be some grid slots that are marked with a glowy effect. These are special positions that, if you land a winning combination on that grid slot, will trigger one of the bonus features depending on the colour. Landing two or more will trigger a great sequence of tumbling symbols.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT THE SPECIAL FEATURES
Pragmatic Play has stacked Gems Bonanza with many exciting stuff, so something is usually happening, or at least about to happen. Along with Tumbles are Spin Features, Gold Fever, and the bonus buy.
The Tumble feature clears winning symbols from the grid to let new ones drop down from above. If there is another win, the process repeats until no new winning clusters appear, then the next spin can occur.
During the base game, on the board behind the symbols, special coloured markings appear in random positions. If a win occurs on top of a marked spot, it triggers 1 of 5 spin triggers, depending on the colour. All are activated when the current tumble sequence ends.
- Blue awards the Nuclear modifier - The screen is completely cleared of all symbols, allowing a new batch to fall in for another chance to win. This acts like a new spin.
- Pink awards Wild Gem - All instances of one random symbol type on the grid are turned wild. This is one in two instances where we see the Wild symbol in play.
- Yellow/brown awards Squares - Random blocks of 2x2 in size of the same symbol are randomly added to positions on the screen.
- Red marks trigger Colossal Symbols - A random 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 block of the same symbol is placed in a random position on the board.
- Green marks award Lucky Wilds - Here, 5 to 15 wilds are added to the grid in random positions.
If more than one feature is won on the same spin, the modifiers play in this order – Nuclear, Wild Gem, Squares, Colossal Symbol, and Lucky Wilds.
STEP 4: WHAT ABOUT BONUS ROUNDS?
The bonus features a culmination of all the special features mentioned above. This is called the Gold Fever progressive feature. Each winning cluster that explodes during the tumble feature fills a portion of the Gold Fever meter, visible on the right-hand side of the reel. When no new tumbles happen, the meter will reset to zero. We are here to talk about the bonus rounds, and this is offered when players collect 114 winning symbols, and the meter is filled.
The bonus rounds have a total of five levels and start from level one. At every level, all spin modifiers are played once in sequential order with a win multiplier of x2. If you can fill the meter again, you will pass to level two, which is basically the same feature, but the winning multiplier is now x4. This continues up to level five, where the multiplier goes up to x10. So levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 have multipliers of x4, x6, x8 and x10, respectively.
The features end when all the different features are played, and the meter is not filled, or all the different features are played in level five.
