Gemtopia is a new game from RTG, but it seems to be sporting one of the most common themes around, the story behind it being about gems more than anything else. The land of gems where the action seems to be taking place looks like a cool place to be, but a slot machine has to offer more than a pretty design.
In Gemtopia, you are going to have 15 active lines on 5 reels. The rewards that the game offers will have a relatively small potential in the base game, with up to $7,500 offered, but it works a lot better during bonus features, where there is potential to win up to $225,000. The game gives you a progressive jackpot as well, plus free games, re-spins, scatters and wilds.
Betting and Prizes
If you check out the bottom row of options, there is both the number of lines and the total bet to change as you please. There are up to 15 lines that you can use, while the betting range varies between $0.01 and $75. The highest amount spendable for one line is $5.
When you look at the payouts which are possible in this game, there are a couple of areas to check out. One of them is the progressive jackpot, which you may win at random. Another is the payout offered in the base game, which at most is going to bring you $2,500. Finally, there are the bonus features, where at one point you get to click on three icons and each one can pay up to 1,000x your bet. That’s when the game seems capable of paying the most, as much as $225,000 with the right wager and a huge amount of luck. The game’s average RTP is slightly influenced by the presence of that progressive jackpot, being at 96.50% with it, and probably at around 95% without it.
Gemtopia Game Features
There will be wild symbols in this game, and they are going to be appropriately marked with a logo, while showing diamonds from above. These wilds are shown only on reels 2, 3 or 5. They get to expand and cover entire reels if this gets you paid.
The Wild Re-Spin is among the slot’s features. With 1+ expanded wilds on the reels, the re-spin will occur. The wild reel is held, while the others re-spin once, for free. Additional expanded wilds will continue to trigger extra re-spins.
Looking at the other feature symbols, I should mention the scatter, the one with the Free Games logo. It will offer you a small prize when appearing three times, plus it will obviously trigger the free spins. You get 15 free spins from them. While you play through them, you can trigger additional free spins and get instant prizes by landing three Bonus gems. The Bonus gems, when clicked on, can deliver up to 1,000x your bet each.
Theme & Design
Gemtopia doesn’t have the most original theme around, but at least they made the effort of turning it into a land of gemstones. A lot of other slots simply fill the reels with gemstones, without caring about the background image. The symbols are either giving you logos or images of gemstones coming in different cuts and colors (transparent, red, green, orange, blue, yellow or even multi-colored).
Conclusion
Gemtopia isn’t the best game around, but it does have a progressive jackpot, some cool features and as far as gemstone themed slots go, it’s not that bad.
It is impossible to guarantee victory. But you can maximize your chances: check the RTP level in your casino, get bonuses, play at stakes you can afford.
