Any time I play blackjack, either online or at a local casino, it powerfully comes to my mind the splendour of Las Vegas, its glittering lights, the sounds of coins being dispensed by the slot machines and women wearing the most luxury dresses and the most precious jewels. I recently stumbled upon a video slot where all these elements are wisely mixed together in an apotheosis of opulence and elegance, the perfect game for all those who love the brightness of diamonds and the other gems. Introduced by Novomatic, Gemstone Jackpot is a video slot machine for wealthy slot game enthusiasts. The game is not an ordinary game and has some exciting and unique features. Let’s see some of its important aspects in more detail.

General Description

This video slot game is a five reel, ten paylines game. It has several interesting features which include the Lock and Spin and gambling feature.

Interface

The Gemstone Jackpot slot has a friendly user-interface where the main elements are as follows:

– Start
– Collect
– Gamble
– Bet/Line
– Lines
– Credit
– Last Win
– Autoplay
– Paytable

Once the reels start they can be stopped by again clicking the Start button. If you start a spin with a double click, the round finishes much faster. You can also accelerate the pace of the game by activating the automatic bets. Users can adjust the size of the screen and the switch off on the sound.

Symbols

As the name of the slot machine suggests, it is based on a gemstone theme and therefore, the symbols used in the game are images of differently colored gemstones. There are seven gemstones or symbols and there are no Wild or Scatter symbols. Diamonds are not just girl’s best friend, but yours too. Getting 5 diamonds on a line will make you rich.

Payoffs

The game allows a stake from four to one thousand credits per active line. Consequently it allows betting in the range from forty to ten thousand credits per spin. A payoff is valid if you are able to get three similar elements. Starting from the first reel the symbols must form a continuous chain at the active line. The payoff is calculated as following – the bet made per line is multiplied by the combination index with the maximum multiplier being 500 times the stake.

Lock and Spin Feature

The feature is activated if you are able to get at least one paid combination. The symbols in the combination are locked in their places while other positions are covered by new symbols. If the new symbols make a combination with the locked symbols, the feature is triggered again. The process may continue for as long as the entire screen gets covered by similar symbols. However, a different symbol may interrupt the feature.

Gambling Feature

In this feature, you can stake the entire payoff that you have received during the spin. You have to guess the color of the card that is face-down. Your winning would be doubled if you are able to guess the color correctly. But if your guess is incorrect, your bet goes to the house.

Conclusion

The Gemstone Jackpot is an exciting game with the unique Lock and Spin feature which gives the players the opportunity to get maximum payoffs in a single round. The graphics quality of the game is good and the interface, as mentioned is friendly. Overall, it is a good slot game which makes you taste some of the luxury you will be able to afford if you win big.
