Reel Gems
There are 5 reels filled with jewels a-gleaming, all of which are easy to spin thanks to easy to use game controls. Reel Gems also has a number of bonus elements that provide some entertainment outside of the normal spinning action, such as free spins and a respin feature. The slot gives players 243 ways to win on its 5 reels. Harlem's #1 video and film production company & multi-purpose rental studio for actors, creatives, photographers, videographers, agencies and more.
Prepare to be blinded by a range of gems that have been polished so much their sparkle will leave you in a daze. Thankfully, the mesmerising wins you’ll enjoy will leave you in a daze too so it will be well worth it as you are presented with a range of diamond rings, white diamonds, red rubies, green emeralds, blue sapphires, and yellow quartz which will brighten up the dullest of days!
Like Visiting a Jewellers
While the background of Reel Gems appears very plain and boring as it is just a blue velvet material, symbols which are part of a winning combination will fully rotate just like you’d expect to see on a jeweller’s window, and the gentle yet elegant soundtrack that plays out in the background is like that you hear when you pay a visit to a luxury jewellers.
Developed by Microgaming, the Reel Gems slot machine contains 5 reels and it is another of their 243-ways to win titles. While you may assume that you’ll have to have deep pockets to spin these gems on the reels, you can do so from as little as 25p up to a maximum of £125, but just make sure you understand bankroll management before you spin the reels.
Boasting a base game jackpot worth 4,000 coins, diamonds will be your best friend on these reels as they could trigger a free spins feature which offers wins of up to 120,000 coins and the popular Microgaming Respin feature has also been included to give you more cracks at landing combinations you are oh so close to!

Sparkling Symbols
The reels are oh-so-shiny thanks to the sparkling symbols that Microgaming have included with the Reel Gems logo proving to be the most powerful as it is the Wild symbol with the ability to substitute for all symbols aside from the Scattered diamond rings, however it only appears on the second and fourth reels rather than all five.
White diamonds are worth the most here with a dazzling jackpot win of 4,000 coins up for grabs with red rubies being worth up to 2,500 coins, green emeralds resulting in rewards of up to 2,000 coins, blue sapphires delivering up to 1,000 coins and yellow quartz only have a value of up to 500 coins.
In addition to these Microgaming have included Ace to 9 playing card icons which are the least valuable of all and it’s rather disappointing that they have been included at all as there are so many other types of gems that could have been used in their place such as amethysts and opals.
Respins Can Be Worth The Cost
We’ve seen the Respin feature before in Microgaming games like the Dragon Dance slot machine and it’s certainly a welcome inclusion in Reel Gems as it enables you to pay to independently spin any reel of your choice.
The idea behind this is to provide you with additional opportunities to land winning combinations that you are agonisingly close to, however you should make use of the feature wisely as you could end up paying more than the combination of symbols is actually worth if you go overboard with it.

They say “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” but they will quickly become yours too whenever you land three or more of the Scattered diamond rings as this sees you trigger a free spins bonus game which always sees you have a gem of a time.
Three diamond rings result in a win worth 2x your stake, four deliver 10x your stake and five bring a staggering 100x your stake win plus you will receive 15 free spins which have a multiplier bonus of 3x applied to them, and it’s even possible to retrigger the feature – no wonder there is a top prize of 120,000 coins up for grabs!
Diamonds Will Be Your Best Friend
We have reviewed a plethora of gem-themed slots before, with the Gems Gems Gems slot machine from WMS and the Sizzling Gems slot machine from Novomatic being two of the standouts, and while Reel Gems won’t blow your mind by delivering anything new, the fact that it includes the Respin feature and a free spins feature where all wins are tripled will see diamonds become your new best friend!
