Gemtastic slot review (Red Tiger)

Gemtastic from Red Tiger proves that video slots don’t need complicated bonus features to be fun

Red Tiger’s slots are usually full of mini bonuses, mystery prizes and free spins bonuses.

The colourful Gemtastic slot has none of the above. What can you expect? Avalanche symbols, extra wilds and sky-high multipliers.

Apart from that, you may also expect the chance of massive payouts. Gemtastic can earn you winnings that can amount to more than 10,000 x the total bet!

It really is Gemtastic!

How does the Gemtastic slot work?

Gemtastic is situated in a deep abandoned mine with many hidden treasures in the form of precious gems.

They seem to be all smiling at you, ready to be picked up.

The game is played on a large playing field with 5 reels and 6 rows of symbols.

There are 30 fixed paylines, and your bets can range from $€ 0.20 up to $ 10 per spin. With the maximum stake active, it is possible to win over $€ 100,000.

All symbols fall top-down and winning combinations disappear to make way for new ones.

The theoretical payout rate is 95.07%.

Increasing multipliers up to 15 x

After each winning spin, the multiplier is increased by +1. The maximum multiplier is no less than 15 x the bet. That explains the high variance.

When no more winning combinations appear, the multiplier drops back to 1 x the bet.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols consist of gems, and there are no less than 9. You might expect this to be a bit confusing, but that’s not the case. The shape and striking colours make it easy to distinguish between the symbols.

There are also mega symbols of 2 x 2 or even 3 x 3.

Payments of the precious stones range from 24 coins to 240 for a 6-of-a-kind of the same stone.

Additionally, there are wild symbols (a “W” with rainbow colours). They replace all symbols and are worth as much as 1,500 coins for 6-of-a-kind on an active payline.

Magic Glow Wilds

Some gems radiate a magical glow. These are called Magic Glow symbols.

When these stones are part of a winning combination, they turn into wild symbols.

These wild symbols are randomly placed on the reels and can cause a chain reaction of winning combinations. They can add Magic Glow Wilds to the reels.

Meanwhile, the multiplier keeps growing…

Our verdict on the Gemtastic slot machine?

It takes some guts to give a slot machine the name Gemtastic: it creates high expectations about the gaming experience.

Red Tiger fully meets these expectations as far as we are concerned: this is a smashing online slot machine.

Do not be fooled by its simplicity; the gameplay is exciting and fun.

If you manage to create a nice series of winning combinations with lots of wilds, start drooling in anticipation of a splendid bottom line.

4 out of 5 stars.
