Gems Gone Wild Slot Machine
Gems Gone Wild is a glitzy online slot from Red Tiger Gaming that boasts a number of unique features and enough twists and turns to keep players hooked.
The Isle of Man-based iGaming company have been forging a reputation for slots that are as rewarding as they are endearing and Gems Gone Wild is a case in point. The game is also a fine example of the humour for which many British games developers are known.
Gems Gone Wild is a nod to Girls Gone Wild, a popular porn franchise created by Joe Francis in the late 90s. In more recent times, it’s also spawned a thriving subreddit dedicated to, well, girls gone wild.
Spoiler alert: there are no scantily clad ladies to be found in this slot, just a bunch of gemstones whose value makes them no less attractive as they glimmer in their birthday suits. When gems go wild, they go really wild.
Wild About Slots
Wild is a word that crops up a lot in the world of slots as even the newest of players can confirm. The wild symbol exerts huge amounts of power, thanks to its ability to turn 2 or more regular symbols on a payline into a win – and that’s just with 1 wild.
The moment you land 2 or more wild symbols on an active payline, things start to get really fun. You’d expect a game named Gems Gone Wild to make full use of this feature and you’d be right. But here’s the twist: Red Tiger Game have fixed it so that any symbol in this game can turn wild, and when gems go wild, a bumper payday isn’t far behind.
Get Your Rocks Off
If you thought that winning at slots called for matching symbols in a straight line, think again. In Gems Gone Wild, the possible win lines are vast and varied. The game utilises a 5 x 3 layout, and while 5 in a row will always equate a win, there are countless other permutations, many of which resemble Tetris bricks. Don’t try to memorise the winning combinations – you’ll fail. Just know this much: with all paylines activated, matching symbols anywhere in view is probably going to herald good news.
In action, Gems Gone Wild is as good as its word, with gems galore falling like confetti onto paylines and generating a dizzying array of wins big and small. The big wins come courtesy of the game’s wild respins feature, in which wild symbols lock and trigger a respin.
Before you can get to the exciting stuff, there are some mundane but no less important matters to take care of, like setting the total stake. This is the amount staked per line and can be adjusted using the plus or minus symbols. The stake can be set anywhere from $0.2 to $500. Clicking spin or pressing spacebar on your keyboard will start the reels. Pressing spacebar again or clicking on the reels will speed them up.
There’s also an autoplay feature, with the number of spins determinable via a dropdown menu option. Red Tiger Gaming have actually built a number of additional features into their autoplay option: under More Autospin Settings, players can request that the game stops if a win exceeds a certain amount or a jackpot or bonus feature is hit.
There’s also a loss limit option, ensuring that autospin will stop before your loss limit is reached. It’s unusual seeing this detail lavished on an autoplay option and it’s a nice touch, one that will certainly entice players accustomed to playing multiple slots simultaneously.
Wild About Gems
Gems Gone Wild deploys 20 lines in all, each scattered with a mesmerising array of gems. There are no playing card symbols or fruit to be found here: just row after row of precious gemstones. As the reels rapidly spin past in a blur, a series of swirling vortexes will indicate the positions on the reels where a designated wild gem will appear. When the reels come to a halt, the gems that land in those positions will be capable of recording a win, provided they match with adjacent gems.
A yellow star which serves as the game’s wild symbol (and which can be applied to any gem) supplies a multiplier for 3, 4 or 5 symbols in view. The value of this multiplier is 20, 200 and 600 x your bet respectively. With its clean design and its potential for any symbol to enrich your balance, Gems Gone Wild is another enticing slot from Red Tiger Gaming. Give it a spin and see how many gems you can grab.
