The Betsoft slot game Mega Gems is, as the name suggests, all about gem stones. The numerous colours and shapes of the precious stones create a lively and sparkly atmosphere which is accompanied by soothing music that at the same time manages to keep you on the edge. At first glance the game looks fairly standard as the gem theme is quite common. However, the images are beautifully designed and players even have the chance to win a progressive jackpot. What makes the game really extraordinary though is that the paylines are both ways, i.e. from left to right and right to left. The game content is very similar to the popular Netent game Starburst, but still the game has its own charm.
The game is fun to play and you should definitely try it out. The jackpot makes the game more attractive, but keep in mind that because of the jackpot, you might not win very often. The highest paying symbol is the blue gem, and it pays 2500 coins, multiplied by the coin value, when you get it five times on a payline.
The wild symbol
The symbol showing 7 colourful hexagons is the wild symbol. It can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and it replaces other symbols for winning combinations. When the symbol appears on the reels it will expand to cover the entire reel and then trigger a free re-spin during which it remains on the screen. It is possible to get multiple re-spins if you manage to get wilds on the other reels.
The progressive jackpot
The jackpot symbol can cover an entire reel. Getting the complete symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 will award you the progressive jackpot. The size of the jackpot depends on how much the players play the game in the casinos. Each time a bet is placed a small portion of the wager is placed in the jackpot. In order to be able to win the Mega Gems Jackpot, you will also have to play the maximum bet of 10 coins per line, and play all 10 paylines. The jackpot size will vary with the coin size that you select.
