Astro Gems Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

In case you hadn’t already guessed, Astro Gems is an exciting space-themed slot set on a planet that seems to be incredibly far from home.

Discover unusual spacy symbols on a 5x3 reel grid with 25 fixed paylines and loads of attention to detail that makes this an incredibly immersive slot.

Like many other games, winning combinations are found when you land three or more matching symbols along a payline starting from the far-left reel.

The Wild symbol can substitute for other symbols, excluding the Scatter, to help you land bigger winning combinations. The Scatter symbol triggers the free spins bonus round, which we’ll look at in more detail later in this review, as well as offering some impressive cash prizes.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Whoever designed the graphics for Astro Gems clearly has a very impressive imagination! The game is set deep in space overlooking the surface of a black asteroid with colourful glowing craters. We’d like to describe the symbols to you, but they’re so creatively designed and intricately detailed that we simply don’t know where to start! Based on some, we suspect that they might have taken inspiration from the wonders of the seabed to create undiscovered space artifacts.

The soundtrack is very well suited to the slot, with an atmospheric tune that really adds to the suspense, mystery, and tension of the slot.

RTP & Volatility

Although the volatility of Astro Gems hasn’t been announced, we do know it offers an RTP of 96.04%.

How to Play Astro Gems

Before we go into too much detail about the specifics of this game, let’s look at the controls. Most run along the right side of the reels.

1. To start, click on the ‘i’ icon in the top left corner of the screen to learn about the game rules, paytables, and paylines.

2. Next, set your bet by clicking the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons on the right of the reel grid.

3. You can see your balance, total win, and stake (in that order) in the three boxes beneath the reels.

4. When you’re ready to play, click on the large ‘Spin’ button in the middle-right of the screen.

5. Alternatively, you can click the AutoPlay button to set your wager and automatic spinning preferences; it is found underneath the Spin button.

6. You can turn on Turbo mode for faster spinning by clicking the ‘fast-forward’ icon in the bottom right.

7. If the music gets too much, you can turn it off by using the speakerphone button in the top right corner.

Bet Sizes & Paytable

Bets start at 0.25 and go up to 50.00, so there’s a decent bet range available. As mentioned, the symbols are a little tricky to describe, so you might want to check out the paytable in the game for more detail on which symbols award which prizes.

For the standard symbols, the most valuable is the rock with a gold swirl, which pays up to 1,000x for five matching along a payline.

The least valuable is the black space rock with a purple swirl, which offers 100x for five of a kind.

Scatters will also pay out when you find them in addition to triggering free spins. Find five Scatters anywhere on the reels to win a prize of up to 500x your stake!

Bonus Features

Find Scatters anywhere on the reels to receive cash payouts and free spins as follows:

3x Scatters = 2x your stake plus 10 free spins
4x Scatters = 20x your stake plus 15 free spins
5x Scatters = 500x your stake plus 20 free spins

During the free spins bonus round, a random Multiplier from x2 to x10 will be applied for the duration of the round. The free spins can be retriggered during the feature as well for even more winning potential.

Conclusion

Overall, we were pretty happy with our time spent playing Astro Gems. The graphics and attention to detail are incredible, with all sorts of imaginative symbols that we certainly wouldn’t be surprised to see in deep space (even if we can’t quite manage to describe them for you)! Although 25 fixed paylines don’t seem like much, we found there were plenty of winning combinations to be hit and enjoyed the atmospheric music building suspense as we played.

We would have liked to have seen the free spins trigger more frequently as it was pretty rare to see more than one Scatter at a time. If you enjoyed Astro Gems, you’ll be pleased to know you can play this and more Maverick demo slots right here at Slots Temple. Plus, you might also want to check out some other space-themed slots, such as the hugely popular Starburst free slot.
