This may look like just any other Gem mobile game out there, but with cascading wins and 15x multipliers, this Gemtastic slot sparkles.
Considering some of the good-looking Red Tiger Games online, like the Dragon’s Fire slot or the fun Flaming Fox machine, this Gemtastic game is nothing to shout about.
You do have 6 reels and 5 rows of symbols, but only 30 paylines for such a huge machine. Which feels weird, because you expect a real money game like this to pay all ways.
Still, visually, you have blocks with fairly standard gems, deep in a cavern somewhere. It’s not dazzling, and it certainly doesn’t spark the imagination.
So if the theme isn’t anything to shout home about, at least the multiplier on the right-hand side will capture your attention.
Because this Gemtastic mobile slot has avalanching reels. Meaning that every winning symbol will explode, and more will come cascading down from above.
Each time this happens, the multiplier on the side goes up. And while casino games like this (think Gonzo’s Quest by NetEnt) have maybe a top 5x multiplier, the top amount here is 15x.
It’s huge, especially when you consider that you also have symbols that cover a 2×2 and 3×3 space.
It’s rare that you get a good win on the base game without any multipliers. You need at least 4x or 5x on a win to see decent number.
Which may sound frustrating, but think about the fact that magical glow symbols can unleash a flurry of wilds, creating multiple cascading wins in a row.
Thought about it? Good. Then you won’t mind us saying that this Gemtastic slot game is incredibly frustrating – much like it’s sister slot Reactor or even the crazy Laser Fruit machine.
This is very volatile, so considering using that low minimum bet of 0.10 a spin to get you started before you bet a little higher. That said, with 10,000 times your bet max win, you can deal with a lot of frustration in order to get to the big payday.

Wilds: The rainbow symbol is wild and will replace any other symbol on any of the 30 paylines to create a winning combination.
Cascading Wins and Multiplier: Each time you win the symbols will disappear and more will tumble from above. With each win, the multiplier on the left-hand side will climb starting from x2 all the way to 15x.
Mega Gems: Any and all symbols can also come in 2x2 and 3x3 size symbols.
Magic Glow: On any spin, a particular gem type may sparkle with a magical multi-coloured glow. If you get a win using those symbols, in the next cascading spin, those wins will send a shower of wilds on screen (one for each glowing winning symbol).
This pretty gem symbol casino game may not be particularly amazing to look at, but the multipliers certainly are.
With each cascading win and mini re-spin, keep an eye on the lava as it slowly brings up the heat, giving you multipliers that climb up to 15x the normal paytable wins.
That said, can't deny that there's something innately frustrating with a game that requires you to get 4 wins in a row before you see any wins of over 10x your bet.
Yet, it works in building up tension in a way few other Android slots manage to create, and the way the wilds pop out of nowhere adds to the drama.
Gemstatic has 6 reels and 5 rows of gem symbols, with 30 paylines, mega symbols and increasing multipliers on successive wins. Watch for glowing symbols as they turn other symbols wild on screen.
