The game’s theme is not hard to figure out, not with a title like Gems Gems Gems screaming it at you. Designed by the guys from WMS, it is a slot machine with a gemstone theme, but it’s also unusual because of the layout which it works with. It has one major set of reels with 20 lines on the left, with three others on the right side of the screen. It’s not the only slot of its kind, WMS actually has others with the same gameplay style.
The game manages to give you 80 paylines, though it has four sets of 5 reels each to host them. Besides that unusual multi-slot layout, it comes with wild symbols, scatters, free spins and multipliers as high as 12x. The prize naturally is very low, going up to $400 only in the base game.
Features of Gems Gems Gems
The game might have only two symbols, the scatter and the wild, but the way it uses them is quite different from the other slots, and I’m talking here about how the different slot machines get the same symbols sometimes.
First of all, the game’s slot machines play on their own, but in certain cases they can be connected. This happens when scatters and wilds make appearances on the big slot machine, the one on the left. The same symbols will be transferred to the other three slots as well, in exactly the same positions. Get enough scatter symbols to start something on the main set of reels, and the others will get it too.
The wild symbol has the game’s logo on it, with the words Gems Gems Gems stacked on top of each other. It is a symbol which is capable of giving up to 200 coins in prizes when forming its own combo, while when it doesn’t do this it acts as a wild symbol and substitutes for others that are trying to create combinations. The Diamond scatter is the only one which can’t be replaced with a wild.
Free Games Feature
The slot’s free spins give you 10 rounds when they’re triggered, with 3+ scattered Diamonds being needed on a set of reels.
Now, there is a small chance that you will actually trigger the free spins at the same time on all the slot machines. Since the first slot machine gives the other slots the same scatters and wilds it has, when 3+ Diamonds are on it, the others get them too. Or, it could happen that only two Diamonds are transferred, but some of the other slots have their own as well, so they manage to get to the minimum requirement on their own.
If you get the 10 free spins on a single slot machine, the multiplier for the wins will be 3x. Get the feature to activate on two slots, and the multiplier for all the wins will be at 6x. With three reel sets getting 10 free spins each, a 9x multiplier will be applied. Finally, get all the reel sets to activate the free spins, and the multiplier will be 12x.
Retriggering 10 free spins is possible, with another 3+ scattered Diamonds on the reels.
Betting options and jackpots
Like other titles from WMS, this one also needs only half the number of coins you would think were necessary. You wager with 40 coins, and they can have values of up to $2. The bets go up to $80.
The base game’s top prize is worth 200 coins, or $400. Free spins can get up to 12x multipliers though, which would improve all the prizes of the game.
Design and symbols
The part that is special here is the layout, with the four sets of reels. There is the big one taking up a big chunk of the left side, while the three smaller sets of reels are placed on top of each other on the right. All the symbols are gems, so there isn’t too much variety there, but they’re very well designed and pretty to look at.
Symbols: Game Logo (wild, 200 coins), Diamond (scatter), Yellow Gem (200 coins), Green Gem (100 coins), Blue Gem (100 coins), Pink Gem, Orange Gem, Purple gemstones.
Is It Worth Playing?
The theme and the way you get only gemstones as symbols makes it a bit boring for me, despite the quality of the individual images.
You will find Gems Gems Gems at any online casino which chooses to use software from WMS, playable either for free or for real money.
