Persian Jewels Slot Review
Have you ever seen an episode of South Park where the Persian dudes wearing flashy clothes are cruising around in a red sports car trying to pick up women? 🏎️
Or what about the one with Rauf Xerxes, who rolls in atop a customized gold Hummer as a nod to the character in the movie 300? Do you know what all of these episodes have in common? – besides the terrible accents, of course – jewelry! 💎
Yep, you’ll see them festooned with gold and diamonds, and guess what? Jewels and Persians are also the main feature of our next game, Persian Jewels slot from Quickfire.
Gameplay
Our 5x3-reel game is floating above a Middle Eastern city and the grid and symbols are large enough that I was sure the game would look fantastic on a mobile phone. So I checked it out and while it’s not incredible, it nevertheless looks decent in either orientation.
Persian Jewels slot has 20 paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 96.06%, and a very high volatility rate. That must mean some serious skrilla, right? Oh, yeah. We’re talking €250,000 thanks to a 10,000x max multiplier. Whoo hoo!
And before I forget, fiat – just not the Japanese yen – is the only currency accepted in the game.
Looking at the symbols has given me shudder-inducing flashbacks to religious instruction classes as a kid. The high-paying symbols have this pagan idolatry thing going on that teachers showed us in their illustrated books.
And just for the record, it’s not the pagan idolatry I’m against but rather the horror of being threatened with an eternity of roasting in hell that did the damage.
Our dodgy-looking Persian ruler is the Wild symbol and he can substitute for all low and high-paying symbols (so just not the special symbols).
Features
EXPANDED REELS:
Persian Jewels slot has an expanded reels feature. You start with a 5x3-reel grid but landing Trigger symbols – these are intricately designed blue and gold things – on reels 1 and 2 initiate this feature.
When it kicks off, you’ll see reels 3 to 5 expand so that you end up with a 3x5-reel grid. Free Spins can be triggered during this feature and up to 14 Link&Win symbols are awarded instantly.
FREE SPINS:
Landing 3, 4, or 5 blue building Scatters triggers this round where you’ll get 10 spins and 2x, 10x, or 100x your bet respectively.
At the start of the feature, you’ll be introduced to the UPSIZER feature. You’ll be allowed to upgrade your Free Spins round to add more Mini, Minor, and Major Link&Win symbols to the reels. For a fee, of course.
High-paying symbols will appear only on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5 while the Scatters, Wilds, and Link&Win symbols appear on reel 3.
Landing 3 Link&Win symbols on reel 3 also triggers a version of the Bonus round where Link&Win symbols are duplicated onto reels 2 and 4, while the Bonus round is played on reels 1 and 5.
LINK&WIN:
The Link&Win symbols are these different colored hexagonal-shaped gemstones. Landing 6 or more during the base game starts things off and you’ll get 3 spins for starters.
Triggering symbols are held in place and any newly-landed ones will reset the spin counter to 3.
If you’re new to the concept, the Link&Win feature awards cash prizes and takes place on a new set of reels where only Link&Win symbols can land (although you’ll see the other ones falling down in the background).
The feature ends when you run out of spins or fill all the positions on the grid. Each Link&Win symbol awards its respective prize according to the below:
- Major Jackpot: Pays 1,000x your bet
- Minor Jackpot: Pays 50x your bet
- Mini Jackpot: Pays 10x your bet
Performance
I played literally hundreds of rounds of Persian Jewels slot – on my desktop device, tablet, and phone – and didn’t encounter a single glitch or buffer.
Maximum Win
Betting at the maximum of €25 and landing the massive 10,000x multiplier, courtesy of the Mega Jackpot, will see your wallet stuffed to the gills with €250,000. Or you could bet from as little as €0.20 and not take the chance to win a life-changing amount.
Conclusion
Link&Win games don’t usually showcase any originality so it’s commendable that Persian Jewels slot has added that whole thing where Link&Win symbols are duplicated onto other reels during the Free Spins round.
Couple that with the whole Expanding Reels element and the Upsizer precursor to the Free Spins round and what it says is that the studio has been spending some time thinking about how to do things differently, and you have to give props for that.
Is it a thrilling game? No, I wouldn’t go that far but the above and the uncommon theme do set it apart from the masses. And then there are the incredible stats, so ultimately, Persian Jewels slot has a fair amount going for it.
