Casinos with Little Gem in your country
Review
This game presents a combination of gemstone and fruit machine symbols. Gems and stars float above the grid. The base game experience, with a 3x3 grid and 5 paylines, is quite simple. Expanding wilds can be helpful, but the overall hit rate is low, leading to a generally uneventful experience.
The game changes when the Hold & Spin bonus round is triggered, with an energetic soundtrack reminiscent of high-tempo R&B. The bonus round is a unique hold-and-respin style feature, offering the chance to win up to 2,460x your stake. While not extremely exciting, it's a decent addition.
Slot Features
Symbols pay between 4 and 50 x your stake, with the diamond being the highest-paying symbol. The wild symbol pays the same as the diamond and substitutes for other symbols to create wins. If a winning combination is possible, the wild will expand vertically to fill the entire reel.
Gold and silver Money Symbols can appear only on the middle reel, with random values from 1x to 20x your stake. To trigger the Hold & Spin bonus round, you need 3 money symbols on the same spin. These triggering symbols become sticky, and the other two reels are cleared.
The round starts with 4 respins, and only blanks or money symbols will appear on reels 1 and 3. Every time at least one new money symbol lands, all money symbol values are collected, including the triggering sticky symbols. Each time a new money symbol lands, the respins are reset to 4. Special Diamond Money Symbols can also appear on reels 1 and 3, with higher values of 100x to 500x your stake. The feature ends when the respins run out, and the total win is then awarded.
The Game Experience
Expect mostly inactive spins, with an occasional expanded wild win. The Hold & Spin feature is triggered at around 1:13 in a video.
Review Summary
A turbo spin option would be beneficial, as the base game can be unexciting. Being able to quickly play through many spins to reach the Hold & Spin bonus round would improve the experience. The bonus round triggers roughly once every 157 spins on average. However, getting to it is a grind, especially without music.
Expanding wilds are common, but they help keep you going. The Hold & Spin feature is somewhat original. The soundtrack is energetic, and the collection of all present money symbol values with each new symbol is a nice touch. However, it's not enough to make this game stand out, and the 2,460x potential doesn't help.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Expanding wilds fill reels if it leads to a win | Tedious dead energy base game |
| Hold & Spin w/ all values collected per spin | Beware of adjustable RTP ranges |
| Hold & Spin hit rate is 1 in 157 spins | |
| Win up to 2,460x your stake |
