Glamour Gems Slots
Get ready for glitz and glamour with Glamour Gems slot machine from LIONLINE. This bright and colourful slot brings a host of glittering gemstones to the reels along with wild symbols, scatters and , which could see you doubling or quadrupling your payout on the turn of a card. Plus, with 11 fixed paylines you always get the maximum number of ways to win on every single spin.
Shine Bright like a Diamond
Graphically, this slot machine is highly attractive with the colourful gem stones given different shapes and colours depending on their value. As any fan of jewellery would guess, the diamond is the highest paying symbol, rewarding players with up to 5,000 coins for lining up 5 symbols on the reels while playing max bet.
Following in the precious stone theme, all the other symbols are also precious gems, including an oval blue sapphire, which can give you a potential windfall of up to 2,000 coins if you hit 5 of these while playing max bet. The other stones include a teardrop-shaped amber stone, circular red ruby, rectangular green emerald and diamond-shaped purple amethyst.
Although perhaps not the most inventive or adventurous of themes, the brightness of the Glamour Gems graphics and the feeling of opulence from the precious gems keeps the game feel exciting and suitably glamorous. The simple sound effects on every spin have a classic computer game sound too, adding a retro edge to the gameplay.
Preparing to Jewel
Before you browse the collection of jewels on offer you need to select your stake. This game has 11 fixed paylines, which means these lines are always in play for every spin. Although this gives the maximum number of ways to win, it also gives you less flexibility on the amount you can bet. However, with bets starting at just £0.05 per spin going up to £25 per spin, even lower rollers and more cautious players will be able to enjoy upping the glamour stakes on this slot.
It is easy to increase or decrease the size of your bet by clicking the plus and minus symbols, while you can also choose to play a selected number of your spins automatically so you don’t have to press ‘start’ every time – perfect for players who prefer hands-free spinning.
Wildly Glamorous
As with most slot machines, there is a wild symbol here which substitutes for the other symbols in the game to create more potential winning combinations. The wild can fill in for that one pesky missing symbol to create a winning line. The wild symbol in this slot is the golden cup studded with gems. This icon also has a red haze emanating from the top to add to its mysterious and important aura!
In addition to the wild wins that could come your way, Glamour Gems also has a scatter symbol, which is the ruby ring. This scatter can bring a tasty boost to your bank balance if you spin at least 3 anywhere on the reels with up to 500x your bet available if you hit 5 of these while playing at maximum bet.
If You’re Feeling Lucky…
Another way to boost the fun is to take advantage of the gamble feature. This special feature turns up in a number of slot machines and can be activated after any win. Instead of picking up your payout after a spin, you can choose to click the yellow gamble button to flip to a new screen. This is where the tension really mounts up.
For those skilled at card games, the gamble screen could look like a dream come true but unfortunately there is no skill involved in this simple ‘double up’ feature – just a heavy dose of luck and nerve. To play, simply guess what colour or suit the next card in the pack will be. Click ‘red’ or ‘black’ or one of the card suits to throw caution to the wind and begin your gamble.
A correct colour selection will double your payout from that spin, while a correct card suit choice will quadruple your payout. Be careful though as a wrong selection will mean you forfeit your winnings from that spin. For those who enjoy gambling but want to hedge their bets, it’s possible to gamble only half your payout for a smaller potential win.
Not Quite Glitzy Enough
Overall, Glamour Gems feels opulent to play with the colourful precious stones and exciting gamble feature, but the simplicity of the sound effects and the lack of a free spins round could be a turn off for players looking for sophisticated gameplay to match the glitzy theme.
