Gemtopia Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Gemtopia Review - Introduction

We are mining a rich seam of gems in a glittery cavern in this great slot from game designer Realtime Gaming. This 5x3 reel set slot has been around for a while, but remains popular with players of all levels, and there are lots of reasons for this. First off, the 15 adjustable bet lines pay both ways, so you just need to land matching symbols on adjacent reels and you are improving your bankroll.

There are wilds which appear on the centre reels 2, 3 and 4. They substitute for all symbols except the scatter symbol and the bonus symbol. The wilds also randomly appear in a stacked formation, boosting your chances of landing winning lines. When this occurs, you will be rewarded with a free spin and the wilds will stick, and any further wilds on the reels will trigger another free spin up to a maximum of three.

There is also a scatter symbol which will trigger 15 free spins when three appear on the centre reels. During this phase you have the chance to land the bonus symbol, which is added to the reels. Land three of these and garner more free spins, multipliers and a chance to win big cash rewards. Finally, there are two progressive jackpots which add to the excitement.

In the base game there are eight paying symbols including the scatter. These are the top paying Opal, the large ruby, emerald and sapphire gems and smaller emerald, ruby and sapphire clusters, as well as the scatter symbol.

Fans of this designer’s work will find other examples of their work to play for free by visiting the Realtime Gaming demo slot at Slots Temple. Alternatively, if you enjoyed Gemtopia you might like to try Gemix also at Slots Temple. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Gemtopia takes us deep inside a glistening cave to seek beautiful jewels, with their attached cash rewards. The sharp-edged frame for the reels is set against the mouth of a deep cavern, promising riches across the threshold. The symbols themselves are beautifully designed and the soundtrack is an enchanting glockenspiel melody adding to the mood.

If this genre of game appeals to you, why not seek out another jewel themed slot here at Slots Temple.

Gemtopia RTP and Variance 

The RTP of this game is 95.50% and we rate it high variance. Expect some barren patches but be ready for the appearance of the stacked wild at regular intervals, offering good chances of landing significant wins. The high variance means the scatter is difficult to land, but once the free spins are triggered with the additional bonus symbol big wins are available.

How to Play Gemtopia

The rules are simple in Gemtopia but let us start with a few steps to get you started:

2. This opens a new screen showing the pay table and an explanation of the wild and scatter symbols.
3. Scroll down this screen for an explanation of the wild re-spin feature and what happens if further wilds appear in this phase of the game.
4. Below this you will find details of the free games triggered by the scatter symbols. There is also an explanation of the bonus symbol and the chance to apply multipliers and win big.
5. Below this section you can see thumbnails of the win lines.
6. Next is a description of the random jackpots.
7. Return to the main screen and to the right of the 'I' button you will see a window where you can adjust your bet, and the number of lines that are active.
8. On the far right of the dashboard you can engage auto spin and customise it to stop when you trigger a game feature.

You are all set to play by hitting the spin button but remember to set yourself a budget before each session and to play responsibly. You will also find demo examples of Gemtopia online and we suggest you try it for free before visiting a casino to play for cash.

Gemtopia Bonus Features & Free Spins

A progressive jackpot is randomly available at the end of each game and this is awarded randomly. The contribution to this jackpot is no more than 1.5% of the total return to player.

One free spin is awarded when the expanded wild appears. That reel will stick while the others spin and if another expanded wild appears another free spin is triggered and all reels with wilds will stick.

When the scatter appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 15 re-spins are awarded. The bonus symbol is added to the reels, and 3 more re-spins can be won when three appear in this phase. Wild re-spins can also be triggered in this mode of the game.

Gemtopia Overall Review 

This has proved to be a popular game since its introduction, and no surprise there as it is packed with features. Although the free games feature is hard to trigger, once the bonus symbol appears the player can expect big rewards. This slot is highly recommended.
