Gem Star

Gem Star Slot Machine

Travel to outer space with this intergalactic slot machine from Amatic, featuring a mysterious combination of space travel, fruit machine symbols and precious gems.

The symbols in the game are all colorful gems, lucky sevens and bar symbols, while the background transports players to deep space. There are several other exciting features in the game including 100 paylines, wild symbols and re-spins.

This is a simple game with an interesting combination of themes and will appeal to space fans looking for lots of different ways to win while playing a colorful slot game.

Before You Blast Off

Before embarking on your intergalactic adventure, take a look at the betting options and choose your stake. There are an impressive 100 paylines in this game, giving you plenty of chances to win on each spin. The paylines are not fixed, so you can choose how many or how few you want to play in increments of 10. You can also change your bet per line by clicking on the “Bet” button at the bottom of the screen to move from 1 to 50 credits per line. This gives a total bet per spin from 10 credits to 5,000 credits.

Changing the bet per spin is not an easy task as there is no minus button to decrease your bet. If you want to lower your bet, you have to go all the way up to the highest bet until you get to the lowest bet again – and just be careful not to overshoot or you will have to go around again! This poor design sometimes makes changing your bet a tedious task.

The space theme mixes with the precious gems and fruit machine symbols to give the game an eclectic feel. The symbols include a red Lucky Seven orbiting a planet, a purple bar sign, a colorful wild star, an amber stone and ruby, emerald, sapphire and amethyst stones. There is no music to bring the space theme to life, just some sparkling sound effects to congratulate a winning combination.

Payouts in Outer Space

The payouts in this slot are decent if not amazing, with the highest paying symbol being the Red Seven, which pays 25,000 credits for 5 matching symbols when playing max bet. The next highest paying symbol to look out for is the purple bar sign, which pays 12,500 credits for 5 matching symbols with max bet. The amber and ruby gems are not far behind with 10,000 credits available for 5 of these symbols in a max bet spin. The lower paying symbols are the Sapphire and Amethyst gems, both of which pay 5,000 credits for 5 symbols with maximum bet, and the Emerald, which pays 2,000 credits for 5 symbols with maximum bet.

Starlit Re-Spins

The multicolored star symbol is wild in this game. This means that it substitutes for all other symbols to create more possible winning combinations. Whenever 3 of these symbols appear together, the re-spin feature is activated, giving you 1 re-spin. During the re-spin, the wild star reel remains in position. This feature can be re-triggered from within the round, so if you spin more wilds, you can activate even more re-spins. If you get 3 stars on all 5 reels, the feature ends.

Plenty of Potential Payouts – but Not a Shining Star

The mixed space and gem themes of this slot may seem at odds with each other, but they work well together to create an entertaining game with plenty of potential to win. Most players will be able to enjoy this game regardless of their bankroll as it has a wide betting range, while the colorful gems, familiar fruit machine symbols and intergalactic flavor will appeal to everyone. The lack of music is a missed opportunity as this could have helped to spice up the feel of the game, but the basic sound effects do help to add some atmosphere.

Overall, there are a decent number of ways to win here thanks to the 100 paylines and the regular re-spins available from the multi-colored wild symbol. Players looking for a simple game with bright graphics and a large number of paylines will enjoy Gem Star, but the lack of other special features means that this slot will probably never be a star.
