Juicy Jewels

Looking for a Great slot from Rival, I would suggest you try Juicy Jewels. This slot does not come with a free spins feature, but sticky wilds and re-spins. This game does not have a lot on offer, but I enjoyed playing this slot today and had some luck, not significant wins, but smaller wins to build a balance.

This game is like those old-school fruity themes, however, you will find crystals and others active on the reels. This slot has 243 ways to pay with standard card deck symbols ranging from 9 – A's and you will find 5 different crystals, yellow, green, blue, red and the diamond look a like. The star is the highest paying symbol paying 13.3 x your total bet for 5 of a kind however this symbol is very rare and you hardly see it on the reels.

You will find the wild symbols which is the sticky wild. This symbol land almost on every second spin, but the sticky wilds re-spins feature only kicks in if the first wild substitute is a winning combination. The re-spins will happen with the hopes of possibly landing more sticky wilds. This streak continues until there are no more sticky wilds on the reels and the feature ends.

I had the feature with at least 5 wilds twice and it resulted in an x30 win. I noticed you sometimes get lower value paying symbols landing on the reels whenever you have a lot of wilds. I started one spin with 4 wilds and landed up to 8 wilds with re-spins. The feature did not play as well as I expected as it results in just over 50x win, but within 100 spins I had 4 smallish wins between 20 40x - my total bet. I am happy with the results, as it did get me up to a slightly bigger balance.

I will continue playing this slot, especially when crushing wagering. My new favourite non free spins slot from Rival gaming.

Looking at Rival's Juicy Jewels, it instantly reminded me of NetEnt's Stickers game. Yes, Juicy Jewels is indeed a clone of Stickers, with the same Sticky Wilds and Respin feature, and with no other random feature or Free Spins game. And just as with Stickers too, this sort of game my not attract the big-win hunters, and even the regular players may soon tire after several plays on this game! But of course, there would always be some players who would love this kind of game nonetheless.

Juicy Jewels has about the same low win values of Starburst's symbols, with just 500x line bet as the highest paying win value, but what makes a huge difference between the two games is that there aren't any Expanding Wilds or Wild Reels in Juicy Jewels. It merely depends on its Sticky Wilds to produce wins, but certainly needing lots of them in the right positions to create nice wins. Needless to say, this simply cannot beat the bigger potentials of 3 full Wild Reels of Starburst! Combine this with even lower win values for the lower symbols, Juicy Jewels is definitely no match for Starburst, and can only be in its shadow!

On the other hand, when compared with Stickers game, both offer about the same win potentials, with about the same amount of Respin opportunities, but both not able to produce any nice big wins, therefore making both games less desirable. Playing the game may be fun, initially, perhaps for several hours or for several days, but its occasional and rare 100x total bet wins may soon take its toll. Unlike Starburst, bigger wins are really impossible to achieve in Juicy Jewels!

I guess the one thing that I couldn't stand the most was getting those ridiculously low wins almost all the time! The wins would mostly be under 1x total bet amount, or be slightly higher at 2x to 3x occasionally. These sort of payouts are simply uninteresting, boring, and even repulsive to some players. One play on Juicy Jewels was more than enough for me!
