Gems Elevator Review

Gems Elevator is a new mining-themed slot game from developer GameArt, which takes us deep below the surface to unearth precious stones, crystals, and gold.

Obviously, the actions of the game take place in a goldmine, and as the title implies, the reels here are set right in the elevator. There’s not a ton to say about the looks of Gems Elevator. We’ve seen this kind of theme quite a few times before, and it doesn’t hold any surprises. Still, we should note the graphics are sharp and together with the jolly soundtrack deeply immerse you in the mining atmosphere.

Nine shiny gems of different shapes and colors appear across 6x5 reels, creating winning combinations when at least 8 of the same kind appear anywhere in view. Matching 12 instances on the grid awards from 2x to 50x your bet. Each win during the base game triggers the Cascading Wins feature. All winning symbols explode and get removed from the reels, while new ones tumble down from above to fill the gaps.

The Gems Elevator slot is accessible from any device, and bets from £0.2 to £200 per spin are accepted, which should appeal to most. Highly-volatile, the game has an above-average RTP of 96.39%, plus it gets a slight boost to 96.43% when buying the features. The top prize is also decent, as a single spin can bring you up to 20,000x the stake.

Gems Elevator Slot Features

Aside from the regular gem symbols, there are Gold ingots included, which are the key to triggering the features in Gems Elevator. Gold symbols are available on the four middle reels only, and they always land with a random multiplier value from 1x to 500x.

If 3 bonus symbols land simultaneously on the reels, the 3 Gold Feature is triggered. The values shown on the symbols are collected, and the sum is then applied to all wins achieved on that spin.

If 4 gold symbols appear, the Free Spins bonus game is activated. The triggering symbols lock to the reels, and players receive 3 respins to start with. Initially, reels 1 and 6 are locked, and landing a TNT symbol unlocks one of those reels randomly, after which it turns into a gold symbol with a random cash value. All gold symbols are sticky during the feature, and whenever one lands, the respins counter is reset back to 3.

Additionally, a bunch of special symbols comes into play during the respins, which are the following:

• Mine Cart - increases all visible gold symbols by a random value.
• John the Miner - collects the values of all gold symbols in view.
• Miner Helmet - multiplies 2 to 5 random gold symbols by 2x - 5x.

Moreover, all of the above-mentioned special symbols can appear as Persistent symbols. Unlike normal ones, Persistent symbols perform their actions on each respin.

The feature ends when the player runs out of respins or the reels get filled entirely. At the end of the bonus game, all visible values are collected and paid to the player.

For players willing to skip the less exciting part and jump straight into the action, there’s a Buy Feature included. This allows you to activate the Free Spins immediately without playing through the base game for the fixed cost of 100x the total bet.
