Smokin Hot Gems Slot Review

How to play

As we mentioned, the Smokin’ Hot Gems jackpot slot is similar to a classic style in design. However, the betting and payline options are what set this game apart from a standard slot. There are three reels in this game and a variable number of rows. You could see anywhere between three and six symbols at a time, depending on whether the reels stop in a staggered formation. There are also nine flexible paylines. If it’s feasible, we recommend playing on all nine to make the most of the row structure.

The bet per line is set at one, but your total bet will change depending on your bet level and how many lines you have in play. The lowest bet you can place is €0.25, which applies only to one line. Placing the maximum bet across all nine paylines results in a total bet of €180 per spin. Keep in mind that you need to bet the highest amount per line to qualify for the highest progressive jackpots. Autoplay is available for 10 to 500 spins, and you can turn on Turbospin for quicker play.

Symbols and payouts

Because this game pulls from a classic slot design, the symbols will likely be familiar. All of the basic symbols are different configurations of 7s, BARS, and bells. For example, you can spin a symbol with one, two, or three 7s clumped together. BARS come as a single symbol or in pairs. Bells are always alone. There are also a variety of combinations that offer payouts. For example, you could spin a single 7, a single 7, and a double 7. This pays out less than if you landed three of a kind but still boosts your bankroll.

While there aren’t any Smokin’ Hot Gems free spins, there are progressive jackpots. We’ll discuss the ins and outs of that feature in the next section. However, you should know that the jackpot triggers also act as wilds. There are Diamond, Ruby, and Topaz symbols, which can substitute for any other symbol in the game (except for each other). Ruby and Topaz symbols will complete a winning payline without a multiplier. If one Diamond wild completes a payline, you’ll receive a 2x multiplier on the payout for that win. Two Diamonds in a winning payline earns you 4x your prize. Read on to learn how to win the biggest prize in the game – a jackpot worth over €200,000.

Best Smokin’ Hot Gems bonus feature

The best Smokin’ Hot Gems bonus feature is the array of progressive jackpots. This game doesn’t just have one jackpot – it has four. Before we dive into the possible wins, we want to clarify what progressive means in this case. Most progressive jackpots are linked across all paid instances of the game and fluctuate depending on the number of bets in the pool. The demo version of this game will begin at the jackpot minimums and grow to reflect your bet contributions.

With that said, there are four possible jackpots. The Diamond tier pays out the most, with a minimum €200,000 prize. Next is the Ruby tier with €40,000, then Topaz with €14,000. The fourth and final tier can be won when any gems appear on a payline and is worth €5,000. To win any of the first three tiers, you need to spin three of the respective gems on an activated payline.

RTP & volatility

The Smokin’ Hot Gems RTP is 95.84%. This is slightly above the average RTP of 95% and will be acceptable odds for most players. The slot has medium volatility. Players can expect to frequent, small wins to top off their bankroll, while occasional, large wins add to the fun.
