Perfect Gems

Perfect Gems (Play\"n GO): Review

Play'n GO embodies a carefree spirit akin to wearing an attitude of indifference like protective armor. This year, they ensure the excitement continues with their offerings. Starblast controversy As they gear up for the release of Perfect Gems, a creative spin on the popular Megaways formula, Play'n GO is defying expectations. Instead of obtaining a typical Megaways license from Big Time Gaming, they've designed a more economical in-house version. This bold strategy might not go as smoothly as planned.

While the exact theme of Perfect Gems is hard to classify, rest assured there are no mining adventures or repeated banjo harmonies from Nik of BTG. Instead, the game presents a baroque-themed experience, more elaborate and elegant. It features 6 main reels, an additional horizontal one on top, and can expand to offer 21,609 winning combinations. With each successful cascade of wins, the Win Multiplier increases, applicable throughout both the main gameplay and bonus spins feature, where free spins are endlessly retriggerable. Available across all devices, the game can be played with stakes ranging from 20 cents to 100 euros per spin.

Perfect Gems delivers a timeless charm set in a workspace that feels authentically from the English Renaissance era. Card symbols from A to 9 appear on the reels alongside pink, green, yellow, and blue gems, with the blue one offering the highest rewards at 25 times the stake for six in a row. A wild symbol appears only on the horizontal top reel, assisting in forming winning combinations by substituting for other symbols.

Perfect Gems (Play\"n GO): Features

In a unique take, what Big Time Gaming terms 'Megaways,' Play'n GO calls 'Payways.' Although there are similarities, Perfect Gems has its own mechanics. The outer reels are fixed with three symbols, while the central reels expand dynamically. If matched with an identical symbol on the horizontal reel, they can split and expand up to seven symbols tall, leading to 21,609 potential winning ways.

Keep an eye on the Win Multiplier located at the top left, as it increases with each successful cascade of wins. When no more winning combinations appear, the multiplier resets to its initial value.

The highlight is the Perfect Gems Free Spins feature. By landing 3 to 6 scatter symbols, you trigger between 9 and 27 free spins. The Spin scatter now takes over, adding 2 extra spins each time it appears, with no cap on retriggering. The Win Multiplier remains active during the free spins, carrying over the initial multiplier from the triggering spin. It only keeps rising during this feature, never resetting.

Perfect Gems (Play\"n GO): Verdict

Perfect Gems stirs up some controversy as another title from Play'n GO that may not sit well with Big Time Gaming, who achieved success through their Megaways licenses. As an apparent homage to Bonanza with distinct alterations, Perfect Gems offers unmistakable resemblance but tries to establish its own identity.

Amidst the debates, the undeniable appeal of Perfect Gems shines through. Combining captivating visuals and a sophisticated design, it delivers exhilarating gameplay and impressive potential rewards. With high variance, you could win up to 5,000 times your stake in both the main and bonus games. The real test lies in seeing if Play'n GO's daring gamble pays off.
