Sky Gems 5 Wilds - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Sky Gems 5 Wilds

Game maker Booongo have revealed the update to one of their most popular slots, Sky Gems, with the launch of Sky Gems 5 Wilds.

The main change is that you can expect to find expanding wilds on each of the five reels. The game retains the original feature of 10 win lines that pay both ways. Although there is no free spins feature, landing the wild will trigger one re-spin. During the re-spin, the expanded wild is sticky. If others land, they will remain fixed for the next re-spin.

There is a maximum payout of x1500 available if you manage to fill the reels with the expanded wild. The wild is the highest-paying symbol, and it is followed by the lucky 7 and the bell. The lower-paying symbols are the gems, Diamond, Ruby, Aragonite, Tourmaline and Amethyst.

Fans of this designer’s work can check out other Booongo demo slots here at Slots Temple. Alternatively, if you like gazing at the stars whilst you try to mine some valuable gems across bet ways that pay both ways, why not try the Starburst online slot?

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Sky Games 5 Wilds combines a number of themes, the main one being jewels, and these are beautifully designed symbols. The designers have also mixed these with some classic slot symbols, such as the 7, the bell, and the sparkling lucky four-leaf clover expanding wild.

There is no intrusive soundtrack. Instead, the sound of a classic slot plays as the reels spin and the winning lines form.

If this theme suits you, there are lots of other jewel themed slots here at Slots Temple.

Sky Gems 5 Wilds RTP and Variance

Sky Gems 5 Wilds has an estimated RTP of 95.86% and should be considered a medium-variance slot. The designers have ensured that there are plenty of opportunities to land regular winning lines to maintain the player’s interest, especially since the bet lines pay both ways. The expanding wilds add to the possibilities of bigger wins, with the promise of mega wins if they fill all five reels.

The expanding sticky Wild is the only bonus feature in Sky Gems 5 Wilds. It appears on any reel, expands and sticks, and triggers one free spin. If the wild appears again, the process is repeated up to a maximum of four times. If you fill all five reels, you hit the top payout.

Sky Gems 5 Wilds Review

Usually, sequels can be a bit of a letdown, but Booongo have avoided the obvious pitfalls with Sky Gems 5 Wilds. They have retained the attractive features of the original Sky Gems, and the sticky expanding wilds offer great opportunities to boost your bankroll.

It is a bit low on special features, especially free spins, but this dynamic game should appeal to most players.
The variance means that wins come along pretty steadily to maintain interest, and the two-ways paylines add to the possibilities. This was also a feature of the original game.

We suggest you give this slot a go - it may surprise you!
