Wizard of Gems Slot Machine
It’s all about the winning streaks in Wizard of Gems; pick up five wins consecutively and you will earn a x5 multiplier! Now that’s magic....
The wizard doesn’t play much of a part in the game that bears his name, the lazy swine, and instead it is up to players to make magic happen on their reels.
But that’s okay, because those creative types at Play n Go know how to create a game that rewards its players with some tidy prizes. With five reels and 20 paylines, you have a number of main game symbols to enjoy as well as the opportunity to trigger a free spins bonus round.
All of this adds up to mean that you have a chance to earn a humongous top prize of 625,000!
This game is like a cross between Starburst by Netent and Candy Crush, so if you're a fan of either of those, I'm guessing you will love this PlaynGo slot.
As mentioned, this is a game based on win streaks. What that means is that each time you spin a winning combination the symbols in question will be destroyed, and a new set will fall onto your reels in their place. You will notice that the multiplier icon at the top of the screen increases too, going up in increments from x1, x2, x3 and x5. This can lead to some rather impressive main game payouts and is similar to the tumbling reels feature found in slots by IGT and H5G.
What a Gem
This is a game that does exactly what it say on the tin, with players searching out the various coloured gems for a chance to win. As ever you are looking to match three, four and five of the same symbol on an active payline to take home a prize.
Based on the minimum bet, which is 0.20, prizes increase on an incremental basis from the bottom up. Starting us off is the Royal Blue gem pays 0.02, 0.08 and 0.40 for three, four and five, while the Sky Blue gem earns 0.02, 0.10 and 0.50 for the sae denominations.
Next up is the Purple gem, and this shiny stone rewards players with 0.03 for three, 0.10 for four and 0.60 for the full five. If these payouts seem stingy then remember that a) these numbers are based on the minimum bet, and b) that these can be subject to those multipliers as outlined earlier in this piece.
The Green gem is the next stone on our journey to the top of the paytable, and this earns 0.04, 0.15 and 0.70 for three through to five. And then we finally break the 1.00 barrier courtesy of the Orange gem, which pays 0.05, 0.20 and 1.25 respectively.
Now we’re into the top pair of stones. The Violet gem takes up the penultimate rung on our pay ladder and earns players 0.07, 0.30 and 2.00 for three, four and five, and finally the Red Heart gem pays 0.10 for a trio, 0.50 for a quadruple and 5.00 for the quintuple.
Star War
As all good slot titles should, Wizard of Gems offers both a wild and a scatter symbol for players to get their teeth into. The wild is the Book of Magic Spells, and this will substitute for all other main game symbols apart from the scatter to help players create some additional winning combinations on their reels.
The top dog in Wizard of Gems is the scatter, and this is the shiniest of Stars. The rewards it delivers are out of this world too; it triggers the Free Spins bonus round for starters.
Players will have 10 free spins to enjoy as part of this feature, and a wild will appear on each and every spin here. The beauty of the free spins round is that it enables players to accumulate some fantastic prize money, and it gets even better with the revelation that the feature can be re-triggered too; with up to 50 freebies up for grabs.
And that’s your lot with Wizard of Gems, the slot game from Play n Go that basically doesn’t feature a wizard but does contain plenty of magic nonetheless.
At first glance the prizes on offer in the game look a bit paltry, but when you factor in the multiplier bonus in reality they become rather generous – especially if you get on a x3 or x5 streak. And of course there is the small matter of the Free Spins round, where wilds run free riot across your reels.
