Gems & Stones Slots
Slot games are ultimately all about winning some extra cash while having fun, and some games like to cut right to the chase in that department.
Gems & Stones is a perfect example of such a game: this Endorphina creation is set on a simple 5-reel, 10 payline game screen and has precious stones and jewels as its theme. No frills, just wins.
There are still a few things we can say about Gems & Stones, so let’s get right down to it…
Shiny Precious Items
Gems & Stones is all about classic gambling, and as such you will not find many original elements in its design – if any at all. The background is navy blue with elegant golden and black adornments. The reels are framed by simple golden ornaments, and the overall atmosphere is that of a luxurious casino.
The music and sound effects are also on the quiet side, giving the game a cosy and hushed atmosphere. And there isn’t actually much more to comment about the aesthetics of Gems & Stones, the real action takes place when the reels start spinning. Let’s see how to make that happen next.
Setting The Mood
Sit down comfortably and play the game exactly the way you want it. You can start by setting your preferred coin value, from 0.01 to 5, thanks to the Coin icon at the top left hand corner. Keep an eye on your Credit total as you do so, it will adjust to match your settings.
Move on to the bottom of the screen to choose how many coins to bet, and on how many of the 10 available paylines. Use the blue arrows and displays to fine-tune your gaming experience! Gem & Stones gives you the freedom to be as bold and adventurous as you dare.
A single click on the Spin button will set the reels into motion, and every winning combinations of symbols appearing on an active payline will trigger a cash prize. Use the Auto spin function to let the reels spin one time after the other for an unrestrained gaming experience! Alternatively, play turn-by-turn and try to double your wins with the Take Risk button: win a simple card game against the computer to do so, or lose your coins should you fail.
Classic Rewards
Gems & Stones goes back to basic as far as the paytable is concerned as well. There you will find 10 well-known, yet beautifully designed symbols.
Let’s get the least valuable of them out of the way first. The number 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace are here in a simple silver font, bright and efficient. They are followed by four sorts of jewels, of which you will need only two identical on an activated payline to win! The most prized of them is the bright blue Sapphire, five of which being the jackpot combination of the game! You will also find the red Ruby, yellow Quartz and green Emerald spinning of the reels of Gems & Stones.
The ultimate symbol of the game has some good surprises in store for the players, which we will look at in more details now.
Treasure Chest
The Chest is indeed a very special symbol in Gems & Stones. First of all, it is the ultimate Wild card of the game and will substitute every other symbol. This means that your chances of winning grow exponentially for each Chest showing up on screen.
The Chest also doubles as a Scatter symbol that will trigger wins regardless of its position. And on top of all this, any Scatter combo awards a 10 Free Spin Bonus where you can keep playing without spending a dime. At the start of the Bonus round, a symbol will be randomly selected and given some extra powers. That special symbol will expend to cover up to three positions when appearing on the reels and create multiple winning combos instantaneously. Given that the special symbol can appear times and times over during the Free Spins, imagine how many coins you can pile up that way.
Clean And Uncluttered Classic
Gems & Stones has several pros and cons. On one hand, the simplicity of its design makes it a beautiful game to play, with a classy atmosphere and a familiar theme. But on the other hand, players looking for variety and originality will perhaps feel a bit let down after a few spins.
The low number of paylines will also be considered a major drawback by the most adventurous players, who like to go all in as much as they can.
