It has five reels, three rows and 10 pay lines. According to the maker, the RTP is 97 per cent, although other sources set it as low as 94 per cent, and the game has medium to high variance. It has no theme but uses jewels instead of fruit in a traditional style of slot and features scatters and free spins.

Introduction

Zeus Play is a company based in Greece whose founder has over 20 years of experience in the gaming industry. This is a significant name in gaming and boasts over 50 online casino games. Many ZeusPlay slots, including free play slots, are available through over 300 casino operators all over the world. There is something of a signature look to most of Zeus Play’s games, which is particularly noticeable in their depiction of human characters who have a pleasantly old-fashioned storybook charm to them. Themes range from simple retro games like Wild Jewels and Zeus Play's Wild Charger slot - which uses electrical symbols where Wild Jewels uses gems - to fully developed narrative themes with pirates, witches and the tales of the Arabian Nights.

Royal Jewels has a five-reel grid with three columns. It has 10 pay lines. The minimum coin size is 0.01 and the maximum is 0.10. The minimum bet size is 0.01 and the maximum is 30. There are eight symbols: the Euro Scatter, the Crown, the Gold Bars, the Banknotes and different-shaped jewels of red, blue, green and pink. 

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

It’s quite hard to understand the thinking behind the graphics of this game. We’re used to slots based on traditional fruit machines keeping things very simple, but this has the look of something mocked up in the lunch break. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with it, and it’s always possible to make a virtue out of simplicity, but here it just seems a little unambitious and unimaginative: large 2D symbols spinning on black reels against a flat purple background, with minimal fanfare when you land a winning combination. As for the soundtrack, its electric arpeggios are clearly modelled on the most primitive early video slots, while inexplicably it gives us a blast of big band jazz on every win. Baffling.

Royal Jewels RTP and Variance

According to Zeus Play, Royal Jewels has an RTP of 97 per cent and the game has medium to high variance. Some sources measure the RTP to be lower, at 94%.

How to Play Royal Jewels

1. Click the Play button to start playing using the current total bet value. You can also use the Space Bar to start. Press the Stop button, which replaces the Play button, to stop the reels mid-spin.
2. Select the Coins symbol to adjust the bet level. 
3. The Auto spin function allows you to select spins increasing by increments from 10 to 1000. Here you can also set the game to stop on any win, stop when a bonus feature is triggered and stop if you spend more than a set figure, and you can also set maximum cash increase levels and cash decrease levels.
4. The balance is displayed at the bottom left of the screen next to a wallet icon.
5. Whenever you land a win you will see a 2x symbol appear above the bet counter. This is inviting you to gamble your winnings double or quits by guessing on the colour of a playing card that is turned over at random. At any time you can collect your winnings or continue to gamble. A wrong choice of card will mean you forfeit your winnings.
6. All prizes are for combinations of a kind. All prizes are also for combinations of adjacent symbols on selected lines except for scatters. Scatters pay wherever they land on the reels. Only the highest win is paid. Scatter wins are added to line wins.
7. Always play gambling games responsibly, and if playing for money make sure you stay within the limits of what you can afford to lose. When it stops being fun, you should quit.

Royal Jewels Review: Our Verdict

What a strange game this is. As you can see from this review, there are virtually no special features - no bonus games, no wilds, no progressive jackpot. There are just scatters and a limited free spins round. If you want basic, then that’s what you get, but it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting to spend much time on a game where so little happens.
