Habanero is not a strange provider name to me but I hardly ever play any of their games, except for one game, London Hunter. That too happened because I was given some free spins on it when I made a deposit at a casino some time back, As for this newer Colossal Gems game, I was introduced to it by an online friend and was recommended to give it a try or two, so I did.
The first thing that I noticed was the old-looking graphics of the game, making it looked like it was a game from some decades ago. The game’s 2D symbols don’t attract me at all, honestly speaking, and I’ve actually seen much better looking old games than this Colossal Gems. Why Habanero designed it as such I simply cannot figure out, but then again, looks isn’t everything, as they say. Nonetheless, a game that uses 6 reels and 5 rows of symbols simply cannot come from decades ago and must be quite a recent one.
The next thing that I looked into was its paytable, to see how the win values of all the symbols would be like. Unfortunately, things didn’t look good at all. The Wild symbol is not only non-paying but appears only during the free spins play. All the other symbols pay lowly from 60x the total bet down to 1.6x, considered to be very low values, and there are no Scatter or Bonus symbols to give extra wins either. The Free Spins feature game, triggered after achieving 3 consecutive respins in a row, awards only 6 free spins and without any win multipliers even. On top of that, there can be no retriggering of the feature game, so getting any additional free spin is not possible at all. Now that to me, is simply horrible! There’s just no possible way of getting any nice big win on this game, that’s for sure!
Anyway, since I had wanted to try out this Colossal Gems game in the first place, I then set the minimum bet of $0.30 per spin, clicked on the Autoplay button, and then relaxed back into my chair, watching the reels spin by themselves. During that short session of play, many small insignificant wins came by, mostly not even 1x my bet amount, but the game certainly wasn’t a hungry one, if I may say so. My credits balance went down surely but slowly, got a pretty nice first free spins feature game that gave a 61x win, but the second feature game was a rather horrible one and paid only 11x win. With that, I decided that enough was enough and quickly quit the game. Come back for another try? Nah, I don’t think so!
