Royal Gems Slot

Royal Gems Slot Machine

Royal Gems is a game with 5 reels and 10 paylines developed by GameART, offering a top prize of 500 times your total bet. The paylines in this game cannot be changed, and it features a theme centered around traditional gems, incorporating elements of royalty such as a crown and a bejeweled sovereign ring.

Gems have been a popular theme in the realm of slot games for a long time, starting from classic machines and extending to modern releases like this one. In Royal Gems, the visuals have been updated to give the gems a lustrous, lifelike appearance, with a vibrant combination of blue and yellow backgrounds that truly enhance the graphics.

For a contemporary twist on a classic type of game, we admire the artistic ingenuity showcased here. Among other well-received gem-themed slots are the renowned Starburst from NetEnt, Dazzling Diamonds from Novomatic, and Mega Gems from BetSoft. The popularity of Starburst, in particular, has led to a surge of new gem-themed games aiming to replicate its success, and Royal Gems is one of these contenders.

A Wealth of Sparkling Treasures

We are captivated by the unique, contemporary design of this game, largely due to the high-quality graphics of the gems themselves and a visually striking yellow and blue mosaic-style background image that serves as the backdrop behind the reels.

The gems are so authentically rendered that one might be tempted to reach out and touch them. They come in various shapes and colors, ranging from pear-shaped to heart-shaped and the more traditional rose-cut stones. The Scatter symbol takes the form of a diamond in the shape of a 5-pointed star. Adding a touch of royalty to the game are symbols of a crown and a golden lucky 7, evoking a sense of traditional slot machine charm.

The game’s sounds mirror those of a classic slot machine, devoid of music but featuring the familiar reel-stopping noises. In terms of executing the popular gem theme, GameART has excelled stylistically, and we find the overall look of the game quite appealing.

All That Glistens Isn’t Gold

With 5 reels and just 10 paylines, this game maintains lower betting limits, with a minimum of 0.01 per line and a maximum of 0.50 per line, resulting in a maximum total bet of 5.0 and a top prize of $/£/€2,500. This makes it an ideal choice for players on a budget.

Similar to Burning Flame, another modern take on a traditional slot by GameART, the Scatter symbol here provides the advantage of winning regardless of its position on the reels. There are no free spins rounds or bonus features, just the classic spinning of the reels. To win, the symbols must be adjacent to each other; for instance, landing the crown symbol on reels 1, 2, and 3 would yield a 3x payout of 25, while landing it on reels 2, 3, and 5 would not result in a win. This limited number of paylines means wins are less frequent.

While the bets may be modest, this also translates to fewer wins. Refer to the pay table below for the values of all symbols.

Bag Those Gems

In our view, if you opt for a traditional game with a straightforward format, it’s also important that it’s visually appealing. Royal Gems is a visually striking, well-crafted game that immediately caught our eye. While lacking in extra features, the game’s no-frills approach coupled with its high-quality graphics makes it enjoyable even with a small investment.

We believe this game could cater to those who appreciate traditional and uncomplicated gameplay, potentially resonating more with female players due to its feminine gem-centric design as opposed to the standard fruit or pirate themes. Our only gripe is the limited number of paylines, which can make gameplay seem slow at times due to fewer wins, but this also means that each win is more impactful.
