Gems Inferno Megaways slot review

When we see gem-themed slots, they tend to show precious stones buried underground in mines. Gem Inferno Megaways shows them in the forge, where the crush of heat and metal can create some valuable-looking jewellery. It is also a Megaways slot, which means a larger-than-average layout of 6x7 and shifting ways to win that can reach 117,649. Use our Gems Inferno Megaways slot review to explore the many features in more detail.

Forged in fire

You would be forgiven for thinking you have just stepped into a volcano when you first load the Gems Inferno Megaways slot, as it is dark, heavy, and full of simmering heat. Then you notice the weight of metal hanging through the background and you realise it is something different. This is the heart of the forge, the place where metal and stone and crystal come together to create the brilliant jewels that fill the reels.

Precious jewels

Slots are often full of gems. When you are playing a game that involves collecting valuable prizes, they are a natural addition; however, it is not often that we get to see the process - the raw, uncut bursts of colour that are shaped and polished until they fit into the gleaming metal of rings, bangles, and even crowns. These are all found among the symbols of this video slot, along with the mighty hammer that the smith will need to take something from nature and forge it to suit human hands.

Gems Inferno Megaways RTP and variance

Casinos should default to a 95.67 per cent RTP for the Gems Inferno Megaways slot, but they do have the option to adjust it lower. The variance is medium to high.

How to play Gems Inferno Megaways

There is nothing too strange here for a Red Tiger slot, even with the Megaways format:

1. Most slots try to explain themselves, with Gems Inferno Megaways having both a paytable and a help page covering the payout potential, rules and features. You can find these in the bottom corner.
2. If you want to adjust your settings, the top corner is where you will find sound and full screen.
3. Of course, the most important setting is your bet, which needs to be able to sustain your game. The stake button will show you a minimum of 0.2.
4. It is time to hit the spin button, but that doesn’t mean you can just switch your mind off. You still need to be budget aware, this time by establishing and sticking to loss and single win limits.
5. Take breaks and know when to stop playing. Self-exclusion and timeout functions are provided to encourage responsible gaming. 

How to win at Gems Inferno Megaways

If you have played Megaways slots before, you will know how this works. There may be six reels but the number of rows changes from spin to spin. When all seven are in play, 117,649 ways to win are available. This means every possible combination of three or more matching symbols, starting on the left, will mean success. On top of the regular symbols, the hammer serves as a wild and the gems are scatters. You should also watch out for the bonus features.

Top wins

• The paytable shows you the win multiplier that will apply to your bet if you find certain combinations of winning symbols.
• You will see the playing card symbols at the bottom of the table. It is not unusual for slots to use these generic images for their lowest-paying offerings.
• The themed jewels are worth more. Most valuable of all is the crown. Find it six times and the multiplier applied to your stake will be 1.5x.
• The max win is 2,553x.

Gems Inferno Megaways bonuses

Many Megaways slots have some form of cascading symbols, including Gems Inferno Megaways. There is no free spins bonus like the one in the Eye of Horus slot, but it does have a hold and win-style feature in which you have a certain number of respins to try to claim a bonus prize.

Chain reaction

Different slots give these different names, such as cascades, tumbles or avalanches, but the principle remains the same. New symbols fall from above to replace disappearing winning symbols in the base game, a bit like half a respin.

Gemmed!

It is a thematically appropriate name but it is very similar to what other slots may call hold and win. Luckily, each gem is a scatter symbol, so can work from anywhere, and you need at least six to trigger the feature. Start with three respins, which you can reset, then try to collect more gems as they hold in place on the reels. At the end, you collect every available win multiplier and apply them to your stake.

Gemmed! does become a little easier if you find a gem sack in the horizontal reel. This can give you three gems at once or increase Gemmed! wins.

Max-win 2,553x

Volatility High

Top RTP 95.7%

Gems Inferno Megaways review: summary 

Red Tiger appears to be trying to create a dramatic-looking game with all the fire and metal of the Gems Inferno Megaways slot, but whether the gameplay lives up to this is a more open question. Yes, it is Megaways, which adds a certain amount of versatility and a high winning ways count. Yes, there are Gems Inferno Megaways bonus features to add some twists; however, it is not the most original design.
