How To Play Reel Gems Mobile Slot
An old Microgaming game makes it’s way to our mobile casino screens in the form of the Reel Gems slot.
First released back in 2010 online, this Reel Gems mobile slot hasn’t aged well. Certainly doesn’t compete with the likes of newer games like the Lost Vegas slot, but it still has some fun left in it’s reels.
With 5 reels and 243 ways to win, it gives you plenty of base game wins thanks (in part) to the low variance nature of this machine.
High paying shiny gems are mixed in with the very familiar Microgaming slot style A – 9 symbols, however, it’s the special re-spin feature and free spins that provide most of the action if you have the budget to bet more.
Respin feature offers a chance to get more free spins
One feature that stands out from the moment you look at the reels is the respin reel feature, which is identified on each reel by the pink respin button.
This gives you the option, after any spin, to re-spin any of the reels – but how much it cost depends on how likely you are to get a win (ie. re-spinning the fifth reel to get a 5 of a kind win will cost more than re-spinning the 3rd reel to get a 3 of a kind win.)
But it’s all is clearly indicated, and if you know your paytable, can be profitable. But is it that useful you ask? Well, we found fairly handy to use when two free spins symbols showed up.
Figure out the cost before you re-spin
Our strategy was to keep spinning one or more reels until another free spins symbols shows up and hey presto you enter the free spins in around another 10 – 15 spins or so.
Yes it can cost a little, and we certainly wouldn’t advice to do it more than about 8 times, but with the free spins offering 3x multipliers and 15 free spins there’s a good chance you can, at minimum, get your money back.
It’s good tactic, which works better here than in the Bikini Party slot, due to the fact that this is a lower variance machine, and the free spins are easier to trigger.
The Reel Gems slot free spins with 3x multiplier
Enter the free spins bonus round and you’ll get 15 free spins with 3x multiplier on all wins.
This helps rack up some pretty rewarding 60x – 90x your bet wins, but on average expect more around the 20x – 40x your bet mark.
All thanks to a mix of multipliers and 243 ways to win reels which pay on adjacent symbols left to right, much like in their Gung Pow online slot.
