Gem Drop Slot Review

How to play

Gems-themed slots are nothing new. In fact, the design and mechanics of the Gem Drop slot are similar to a popular slot machine from Netent. However, this Play’n GO slot tries to offer its unique brand of slot experience that all players will love. This game comes with the standard three by five playing grid and 10 paylines that pays both ways. Here, all wins are multiplied by your stake per line, except for the scatters, which are multiplied by your total stake.

To start playing, make sure to set up your bet per spin. The minimum wager per spin starts at €0.01 and can be increased to €50. You can use the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons in case you want to increase and decrease your line bet per spin. Upon confirmation, simply click the ‘Spin’ button that’s located on the bottom-right portion of the screen. An Autoplay button is also available which allows you to set spins in advance.

Symbols and payouts

Expect a colorful yet familiar set of paying symbols when you play the Gem Drop slot. There are two categories of paying symbols on this game – the colored gems and the special symbols. This game displays six colored gems with the red, dark green, and blue gems as the most luxurious. You can collect 100x, 70x, and 50x your line bet when landing five matching symbols. These are followed by yellow, white, and light green gems which offer up to 40x, 30x, and 30x your line bet when matching five symbols.

Bigger payouts can be yours when you land the game’s two special symbols: the Golden Bar and Red 7s. You can win 300x and 150x your line bet if you manage to land all five symbols on the reels. And if you’re not yet satisfied with your wins, you can always try the game’s Double Up or Triple Up Gamble mode. After each win, you are given a choice whether to double or triple your winnings. If you want to triple it, you will pick one from three options. To double, you choose from four symbols, and two will double your win. If your pick is wrong, you lose all your winnings.

Best Gem Drop bonus feature

Gem Drop offers a wild symbol that substitutes for other gem symbols except for the scatters. Its appearance is also related to the Gem Drop bonus feature. On a random spin, the bonus blocks will fall down together with the random symbols. All symbols that will be covered by the random bonus blocks are transformed into wilds. If this happens, your wins are paid and a re-spin is awarded. During re-spin, the wilds are held in place.

You will not find the standard Gem Drop free spins in this game. Instead, you can play to win one of three jackpots. The key to unlocking this opportunity is to land the scatter symbol in the form of a ring. With scatters, you can collect payouts of up to 300x your total bet with five matching symbols. But more than the symbol payouts, scatters will unlock one of three potential jackpots in the game: the Bronze Wheel, the Silver Wheel, and the Golden Wheel. Each wheel offers you access to specific jackpots. For example, unlocking the Bronze Wheel lets you play for a Tasty Jackpot. With the Silver Wheel, you can play for Tasty and Luxury jackpots. But with the Golden Wheel, you have a chance to collect the Luxury Jackpot or even the Dream Chance Jackpot!

RTP & Volatility

Gem Drop slot by Play’n GO isn’t an original game in terms of visuals and choice of symbols. By playing the medium volatility game, you’ll be reminded of other popular gem-related slot machines. However, it brings something new to the table with its features. Also, the Gem Drop RTP stands at an impressive 97%!
