Perfect Gems Slot

Perfect Gems is a game that was released a while ago from Play'n Go game provider, but I really started to play it just a few months ago. The game caught my eye when I saw a few other players getting big wins and the gameplay seemed quite interesting. And I can say that after many sessions with this game, I have a love-hate relationship with it.

I'll start with the things I like about this game. First of all, I like the mechanics this game has- it has 6 reels and after a winning combination, not only do the reels cascade and new symbols come into place, but also the multiplier increases. So if you get several consecutive wins, you can get good base game hits. Also, the reels can split, increasing the ways to win which again can help hitting bigger winning combinations. And lastly- once you get 3 scatters, you get 9 free spins and every scatter in the bonus awards with 2 extra spins. That combined with the increasing multiplier after every win makes the bonus round very exciting. I've managed to get several free spins features where the winning multiplier goes as high as 30 due to many smaller wins and extra spins due to scatters. My best win has been only around 300x bet but there's definitely potential to get bigger wins in the free spins.

Now on the other hand, I find this game to be extremely volatile. As I said, in the base game, after every consecutive win the multiplier increases, which sounds, of course, appealing. However, in my experience, this game can be very tough and give lots of dead spins. Hence good base game hits are quite rare. And same goes for the free spins, the feature is pretty much all or nothing. If you happen to get retriggers and small hits to increase the multiplier, you can get good wins. But I've also had numerous features where I get 9 free spins, no retrigger and less than 50x bet win.

Overall this is a quite intriguing game with good winning potential and great graphics. However, if you're not looking for a volatile game, Perfect Gems is probably not the game for you and can be a real balance eater quickly.

I think Play N Go decided to come up with their own Megaways Engine where you can benefit from up 21 609 ways to pay. Perfect Gems which is basically a replica or remake of Bonanza in Play n Go's own version is fairy new release with lots of potential. We know that these slots with Megaways engine types can produce massive insane hits, which still begs the question why do they cap their wins up to x5000? They seriously need to review this.

You can form winning combinations when you match 3, 4, 5 or 6 symbols across the multiple ways to win. The extra horizontal reel is found at the top of the middle reels. With reels 2 to 5 expanding to 4 symbols per reel, if a symbol on the horizontal reel matches a symbol on the vertical reel below, it will split into 2. This means you can benefit from up to 7 symbols on the extended reels which gives you more ways to win.

Perfect Gems comes with a win multiplier feature. Each win will see the multiplier increase by 1 with the winning symbols disappearing to be replaced by new ones (Avalanche feature). This gives you the chance to win again and again from each spin. The multiplier resets when you don’t get a winning outcome.

There’s also a perfect spin feature which is played when you get 3 Perfect Gem scatters. This will give you 9 free spins. If you trigger the feature with 4, 5 or 6 scatters, you will begin the feature with 15, 21 or 27 free spins respectively.

During the feature, the perfect gem scatter awards extra spins and each one you land will give you 2 more free spins with no limits to how many you can win. The win multiplier value you had to trigger the Perfect spin feature is carried through to the free spins unlike Bonanza. It can only increase with each win. I think the multiplier is unlimited, however the slot has more the looks than it has the potential from my experience.

I played a few times and biggest win was x50. Not really feeling it that much, I rather try my luck with Bonanza.
