Have you ever dreamed of bringing home a bag full of gems? Well, Microgaming are back with another arcade game that can help you do exactly that. Take a spin on Gems Odyssey, and you'll be mesmerised by the amazing display of coloured gems. You'll be sure to enjoy this arcade game as it follows a different format to the traditional slots. Journey into outer space, and you can discover some new riches for yourself while having fun playing this game which is a twist on a classic slot game!
Our Verdict: Overall, Gems Odyssey provides a lot for those slot players who fancy something a little different. The gameplay does not follow the traditional slot format, and you are encouraged to eliminate the matching coloured gems rather than spinning the reels. The graphics are good on this game, and they fit in well with the space theme. You'll need to level up to progress in the game which gives it a little purpose instead of pressing spin until you get bored or run out of money!
Design: If you like a space-themed game then you'll like this one from Microgaming. This game also works for those who like a gem slot but want a little twist on the classics. The whole board is clearly laid out with 25 different panels featuring 6 different coloured gems. There are also some sparkly crystals that appear from time to time which we will go into more detail about later. Overall, the graphics are good, and the interface works well for this reasonably simple game!
Nebula Stones: If you've seen some crystals popping up as you've been playing then you are in for a good reward when it comes time for you to level up. The crystals which are also known as nebula stones accumulate as you play and reward you with different amounts of money, depending on how rare they are! You'll want to get more of the mythic stones as these will get you the biggest prize at the end of each round!
Jackpot Symbols: Getting three or more jackpot symbols in this game will get you exactly that – the jackpot. The jackpot is your total bet multiplied by a thousand, so you could really be in for a great prize if you managed to bag yourself some of these symbols! These could pop up at any time so watch out for them. If you aren't sure what they look like, they'll have a few lucky sevens on them and say ‘jackpot,' so you won't be able to miss them!
Second Chance: The final feature that we'd like to talk about is the second chance feature. Losing a spin can be pretty disappointing but when you manage to trigger the second chance feature, your stones will be replaced, and you can continue on with the game. Make sure to take advantage of this feature when you can because if you don't, you'll lose all of your progress on the levels.
