Gem Blast Slot Review

I was looking up the world's biggest gem heists, sure that there will be bomb blasts and gunshot wounds, but no such luck. The thief, Leonardo Notarbartolo, rented out an office across the Antwerp Diamond Center road, where he posed as a diamond merchant wanting to know about their security and maybe rent secure storage from them. One day, he and his Italian gang break in and steal $100 million worth of gems and gold. They would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for the sandwich one of the robbers left behind. Imagine losing $100 million because your friend can't fight his munchies. No need to worry about losing at all, as Gem Blast brings the big wins, brought to you by Endorphina.

Gameplay

A 3x5 video slot game with 10 paylines.

Before money was a thing, old-school wealth and people were throwing their wedding rings on the poker table. This game used crystals to represent lower and mid-value cards, the symbols listed from lowest paying to higher are purple, dark and light blue, green, yellow, and orange crystals. The higher paying symbols are the bar and 7 symbols, with 7 being the highest.

You can find all the slot game information in the top right corner indicated as the 'i' symbol.

Features

The slot features a wild symbol, seen as the diamond star, which only appears in reels 2, 3, and 4. The wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols in the game, promoting your chances of a winning combination. The wild also expands over the reel, ensuring an even better chance of winning. Every time you land a wild symbol, the game awards you a free respin, with a maximum of 3 respins.

Unique Features

We love bonus features, especially double-up bonus games, but we love unique bonus games more. Most providers settled for the coin flip or red and black guesses, but Gem Blast went further in their efforts. The slot allows you to stake your recent winnings to either lose all your money or double it over and over again. You are given 4 cards to choose from; the aim is to match or get a better card than the dealer's hand. The lower the card number, the better your chances are.

Performance

The game runs smooth and displayed great graphics, but there was a bit of a loading issue when opening the double-up bonus game. If you don't mind a 10-second wait, then there are no other issues to report.

Conclusion

This delightful game may not be the most advanced or top-tier game, but it's made by a superior software provider in the industry, and it shows. The game's simple nature makes it easier to focus on the paylines and wins than any animations or backgrounds. The lack of feature emphasizes slots' original aim of luck leading the way, although the 2 features they have are rewarding and entertaining. The wild symbol has lots of hidden benefits, while the double-up bonus game clearly lets you win more on your win. Overall the game is simple and simply fantastic. If you like uncomplicated gameplay with more attention to the user than the design, Gem Blast is perfect for you.
