Gem Drop Slots
Drop the gems in the right position as you spin this slot machine and you could end up winning some seriously big bucks. Gem Drop by Play'n Go has 5 reels and 10 paylines, upon which players will come across a glistening set of precious stones, providing some rare and captivating spinning action.
Not only does this game look the part, but it will also give punters the chance to get their hands on one of three progressive jackpots, thanks to a wheel of fortune style bonus game.
Other than that, the game is follows a fairly straightforward video slot pattern with some stacked wild symbols. Although, having said that, spinners won't be able to enjoy any free spins in this gem-themed slot machine.
Twinkling Gems
There are few things in this world more precious than gemstones. Created over thousands of years due to the intense pressure and heat of the earth's inner workings, these rare and beautiful stones come in all sorts of different mesmerising colours, as is evident from the symbols of this slot machine. As such, Gem Drop features a precious stone in almost every colour of he rainbow, with icons that depict light blue topaz stones, bright white diamonds, lemon coloured citrine stones, deep blue sapphires, mysterious green emeralds and rich red rubies.
And just to give the game an added element of retro arcade charm, the slot machine also plays host to timelessly classic symbols such as golden BARs and lucky red 7s.
A Sight to Behold?
We have to admit that we have been a little bit underwhelmed by the quality of this slot machine's graphics. This isn't to say that the game isn't nice to look at, because it is perfectly pleasant to behold with its colourful aspect and glistening reel symbols. The problem is that gem-themed slot machines always demand an exquisite level of visual attention. Because, after all, there is no point creating a game about beautiful gemstones if those symbols don't shine with crystal clear clarity.
Sadly, the gems in Gem Drop don't quite do that, at least not in comparison to similarly styled video slots on the market.
Rare Gems and Rare Wins
This slot machine has 10 fixed paylines, which means that players shouldn't expect to come across a winning prize with every spin of the reels. What's more, Gem Drop doesn't exactly offer the most jaw-dropping line bet multipliers in its paytable. You can see all of those prize multiplier values in the table below. These values will be applied to players' line bets, which range from as little as 0.01 credits per line to 5.00 credits.
Hit the Gem Drop Jackpot
Luckily, those aren't the biggest wins available in this Play'n Go slot machine. That is because spinners of Gem Drop have the chance to play for three progressive jackpot prizes with this game's special bonus round. This side game can be activated by finding three golden ring scatter symbols which randomly attach to any gem icon during the base game:
- If three golden ring scatters appear, then players will win a total bet multiplier of 15x and they will be taken to the “Tasty Jackpot” bonus wheel.
- If four golden rings appear then punters will be given a total bet prize of 60x and they will be able to spin the “Luxury Jackpot” wheel.
- If five golden rings are scattered on the reels then spinners will receive a 300x total bet multiplier before going to the “Dream Chance Jackpot” wheel.
Players can also move from the Tasty Jackpot wheel upwards to the Luxury and Dream Chance jackpots by landing on the segment with arrows. However, as each wheel progresses, it will become more and more difficult to win that big jackpot bounty.
On top of the progressive jackpot bonus round, Gem Drop also features stacked wilds and re-spins during the base game to help punters boost their betting balances. And if you're feeling particularly lucky, then you can boost your wins in the base game by taking on a “Double Up” or “Triple Up” gamble.
A Rough Diamond
We're going to be honest and tell you that Gem Drop is far from being the most spectacularly designed gem-based slot machine in the market. However, the game still has a lot going for it thanks to its thrilling wheel of fortune bonus game in which punters can play for one of three progressive jackpots. That kind of bonus action makes any slot machine worth spinning.
