Play Perfect Gems Slot

Perfect Gems Review

Perfect Gems slot comes with a Payways engine similar to MegaWays, and the game was released across all casinos on the 30th of May 2019. It’s Play’n Go who’s done a little “invention” here, and the result is a very nice slot filled with sparkling gemstones, unlimited multipliers and a pretty impressive potential up to 5,000 times your stake.

The game is set up with 6 reels and 3 rows on the first and last reels, while the 4 middle reels can expand from 4 to 7 symbols if you count in the horizontal reel on top. When the middle reels create winning combos with the horizontal reel, the winning symbols on the vertical reels split into 2 identical symbols. This is how the number of paylines can increase up to 21,609.

The main attraction is, of course, is the free spins feature, and here you get to benefit from both unlimited refill and unlimited multiplier. The default RTP is 96.50%, and this is a little bit above the industry standard. Anyway, this is a highly volatile game, and you need to be prepared for some turbulence along the way when you play.

What symbols are there?

As the title implies, this game is all about gemstones, and you’ll find 4 higher value gemstone symbols on the reels in different colors. You’ll also find the regular card suit symbols of lower value, and you need between 3 to 6 matching symbols on a payline to win:

• Blue gem - Pays 25x for 5 on a payline
• Yellow gem - Pays 4x for 5 on a payline
• Green gem - Pays 2.5x for 5 on a payline
• Pink gem - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline
• Card suit symbols - Pays between 1.5x to 0.8x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The game mechanics in Perfect Gems slot is called “Payways”, and it’s somewhat similar to the MegaWays engine from Big Time Gaming. Still, there are some important differences. In the Payways engine the first and the last reel can only display 3 symbols, while the 4 middle reels has 4 rows/symbols because of the horizontal reel on top.

Every time a symbol on the horizontal reel lines up with an identical symbol on 1 or more of the 4 middle reels, the symbol on the middle reel splits in two. This means that you can expand the number of paylines up to 21,609 if all symbols on the 4 middle vertical reels split up. This will usually land you some massive wins.

Especially given the fact that there is a progressive multiplier you can follow up in the top left corner that will increase by 1x for every cascading win. Yes, that’s right, winning symbols are removed and replaced by new symbols that can land you many winning combinations in just one spin of the reels.

Free spins in Perfect Gems

The free spins feature on Perfect Gems is the main feature, and you get 9, 15, 21 or 27 free spins by landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters on the reels at the same time. During the free spins feature you can land Spin scatters that will give you 2 extra spins added to your tally every time they land.

You can gain as many spins as possible, as there is no upper limit here. You will also benefit from the cascading reels multiplier, and if you have an active multiplier when the free spins feature is triggered it will continue into the feature seamlessly. During the free spins feature the multiplier will never reset, and thus only stand still or increase.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

While there is no progressive jackpot to be won on Perfect Gems slot, the game certainly packs a punch anyway. The max win is 5,000 times your stake, and this means you can win up to £500,000 if you play with the highest possible bet level. A solid potential, even for a highly volatile game.

SlotCatalog verdict

It remains to be seen if Big Time Gaming will take any legal action based on the obvious “rip-off” of their patented MegaWays engine. Either way, Perfect Gems comes with its own variance of this game mechanics, and it’s quite a nice, little “gem” Play’n Go has released here. The potential is huge, and the unlimited multiplier is fun both in the base game and the free spins feature.

Pros

• Free spins with unlimited refill and ditto multiplier
• Payways engine with cascading reels
• High volatility and massive potential up to 5,000x

Cons

• Payways is an obvious MegaWays rip-off
