Gemini Gems - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

We know from Rainbow Riches Pick and Mix, which got very creative with the slots staple of Irish folklore, that a slot having a sometimes overused theme doesn’t make it dull. This is definitely true with Gemini Gems, which Aspect Gaming has loaded with free spins and three different wilds on a familiar five-reel, 30-payline grid. Are you intrigued? If so, read on for our Gemini Gems slot review.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Where do the gems we see in many an online slot come from? Gemini Gems gives us a clue, as we are in an underground cave with crystals growing like stalagmites. With an intriguing and enigmatic gleam in the darkness, each gem has its own colour and inner fire. Even the card symbols have a crystalline structure. 

This exciting realm of wealth is accompanied by a pleasant soundtrack fit for a movie. You will be completely immersed, although where the ‘Gemini’ of the title comes from isn’t clear. 

Gemini Gems RTP and variance

An advantage of choosing a free slot here at Slots Temple rather than a paid version elsewhere is that if your returns don’t go so well, the only money you lose is virtual. 

The Gemini Gems online slot has an RTP of 94.17 per cent. This is well below average, even allowing for the times the slot randomly scores higher.

Another advantage of a free slot game is that you can get a feel for it without the risk. This is extra important for games such as Gemini Gems that don’t have an official variance. If you want to know about the size and frequency of the wins, you will have to spin the reels for yourself rather than just reading the slot review.

How to play Gemini Gems

You might be in a cave, but you don’t need mining tools:

1. Click the gear symbol on the left, which will take you to your bet settings. Adjust these with the plus and minus symbols, keeping in mind your current balance and what you can afford to risk.
2. From this page you can navigate to autospin, game rules and game settings. Autospin is between 10 or 500 spins or can run infinitely until you press the stop button. The settings include the game sounds, the game music, and fast mode.
3. Of course, you don’t want to start spinning, whether regular or autospin, without setting an appropriate bet. Click your current bet display and it will reveal all the possible options. Even in a free slot, get yourself into good habits by being sensible.
4. Choosing a bet is part of the wider process of sticking to an appropriate budget and responsible gaming. Know what you can safely afford to risk, set limits so you don’t chase losses, and use the timeout and self-exclusion functions if necessary.
5. Bearing in mind the inability to include limits in autospin, you may prefer to take it one turn at a time by hitting the big spin button. 

Bet & win sizes

The Gemini Gems slot has a minimum bet of 0.01. Its maximum bet is 5, which isn’t huge but will suit more cautious players.

You win by matching three, four or five adjacent symbols from left to right across a payline. Payline wins are multiplied by your bet per line. The highest payouts for each symbol are:

• Queen, king, ace = 60
• Citrine = 100
• Amethyst = 150
• Sapphire = 200
• Ruby = 300
• Emerald, diamond wild = 500

Gemini Gems bonus features

Now for the part of this slot review that players often find most interesting. Nearly every online slot game is more exciting when it has bonuses and there is a particularly impressive set of features in Gemini Gems. 

Gems collection

There are three types of gem you can collect: blue, green and pink. Once you reach a certain number, you will unlock a combination of free spins and special wilds to really up the thrills:

• 15 blue gems = 5 free games with expanding wilds
• 30 green gems = 10 free games with sticky wilds
• 45 pink gems = 15 free games with walking wilds

Expanding wilds grow to fill an entire reel. Sticky wilds remain in position on the reels for the entirety of the free spins. Walking wilds travel one place to the right with every new spin, not disappearing until they pass reel one.
