Gem Strike Slots

Gem Strike makes it obvious that we are going to see some gems in this slot game. Is this going to be a fine slot to play though? There are plenty of elements that must come together for this to be a memorable one, so let's figure out what to make of it in our full slot game review.

Which game studio came up with Gem Strike slots?

This comes from Spin Logic Gaming, known to many as another brand for Realtime Gaming.

It means we are guaranteed to get access to a demo

They never let us down on this topic, and they haven't let us down this time either.

A theme packed with gems

This much was obvious, right? You can expect lots of gems to appear here, some looking more unusual than others.

What did we make of the design for Gem Strike slots?

It reminded us a little of Starburst from NetEnt, thanks to the dark background and all the colorful gems on the reels. However, it is a different game in several ways. There are some detailed gems on those reels, some looking more like crystals than anything else.

Here's how you can play Gem Strike slots

There are five reels in action, with no progressives anywhere in view. The wild is a multicolored gem with many sides. This replaces everything with the usual exception of the scatter. This looks like a yellow lightning bolt.

You must play all the lines in this one

A message to the right of the fifth reel confirms there are 25 of them in action.

Play the game from a quarter per spin

This qualifies it as a penny slot, even though you'll play 25x that on each spin. You can choose other values instead. The default loading bet is a dollar, but you can go up to $25 if you like.

Begin by checking out the paytable

You'll see all the symbols there, along with their values. The purple diamond is the best one to find, but you'll get a lot more info on the various features in the game as well.

Look out for these bonus elements

Gem Strike features cascading reels that appear after every winning spin. The prizes are paid before the winning symbols disappear. Random symbols replace those, and if another prize is found, the same happens again. The base multiplier for this is 1x, but if you get another prize, it rises to 2x. The best you can get is 3x for prizes on the third or higher winning cascade.

Free spins and how to trigger them

Find three, four, or five of those lightning bolt scatters in view and you'll get 15, 30, or 50 free spins, respectively. That's a really generous quantity in each case. The multiplier for cascading reels begins at 2x here, with the highest value set at 5x.

RTP information for Gem Strike

The paytable doesn't reveal a value, and that's because it is likely to vary depending on where you choose to play it. RTG slots often sit at around 95%, so keep that in mind, but check the value displayed at the casino you visit.

Our rating: Is Gem Strike worth checking out or is it a strikeout?

We think this is worth 8/10, as it has way more to offer than you might think. The cascades have popped up in a few recent games from this developer, and they're great to see here as well.

What's the most you can receive on one spin?

If Gem Strike really triggers a good strike for you, you could get a maximum of 50,000x your bet on one spin. Wow… wouldn't that be cool, even if the odds are way against that happening?

Demo play allows you to see what you make of Gem Strike

This is the only way to safely play while protecting your budget. It gives you time to figure out whether you'd like to play the real version.

Check your wager before you play for real

All bets are final, as you'd expect, so make sure you know what you've picked and that you are happy with it before you hit the spin button.

Mobile action available too

Yep, you can always try the mobile version of this slot, which looks just as good and plays well if you find it.
