5-reels and 25 Paylines
At its heart, Crystal Gems is a fairly standard 5-reel 25 payline slot complete with wild symbols, scatter symbols, free spins as well as a random bonus feature. On the reels you will find a host of gem related symbols including five different coloured gems representing the most precious stones in the world. The five colours are white, green, red, orange and blue. The lower symbols are represented by the standard high card symbols that are found in most slots games.
Stacked Wilds that Multiply
The wild symbol in Crystal Gems is represented by the big “Wild”. As with most slots games, the wild symbol can be used to substitute for any of the other standard symbols to complete a winning payline. The wild symbol also appears stacked on the reels giving players a better chance of creating a winning payline. In this game the wild symbol cannot substitute for the scatter symbol. The wild symbol also plays an important role in the free spin bonus round. During the free spins round the wild symbol acts as a multiplier. This means that if it appears on the reels during the free spin round it multiplies any win by 2x 3x or 4x.
Gem Cart Scatter Symbols
The scatter symbol in Crystal Gems is represented by the mining cart carrying the gems out of the mine. The scatter symbol is also the key to accessing the free spins feature in the game. To trigger the free spin bonus round, players must land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The more scatter symbols appear on the reels the more free spins will be rewarded. 3 scatter symbols will reward players with 8 free spins while 4 scatter symbols will give players 10 free spins and all five scatter symbols across the reels will give players the maximum 12 free spins. The free spins feature can be re-triggered within round by landing three or more carts on the reels.
Random Gem Bonus Feature
Crystal Gems also features a random bonus feature called the mystery crystal pick. At any time during live play the random bonus feature can occur. When this happens the screen will change to a view of three big gemstones. Players must pick one of the three gemstones to receive an instant bonus prize. It is important to know that the bonus prize if proportionate to a players stake at the time. Once players have picked their gem stone and received their prize they will be returned to the main game.
