GEMIX SLOT MACHINE
Gemix from Play'n GO has turned out to be a gem of a slot since its release in 2014. It is based on a fantasy theme and you level up through three fantasy-based worlds of the Princess, the Miner and the Wizard to discover rich deposits of gems! Gemix is a cascading and cluster pays 7×7 grid slot where player wins can reach a maximum of up to 45,135 coins!
KEY FEATURES
Fantasy-adventure theme Medium volatility, with maximum wins of 45,135 coins and a 96.83% RTP Crystal Charge effect (feature), and World Bonus with unique wild modifier Colourful, cartoon-style symbols and playful tune
GEMIX SYMBOLS AND BONUS FEATURES
The slot has 7 symbols composed of uniquely shaped candy-like gems in rainbow colours. Land 5 or more identical gems horizontally and/or vertically touching to create a winning cluster.
The cartoon-style slot comes with a playful instrumental tune. Winning clusters are removed, giving rise to a cascade of new symbols to fill in the spaces. A game round ends only when there are no further cascades.
A fun addition to the slot is the Crystal Charge meter to the left of the grid. During a round, winning symbols are used to fill up the meter until it is fully charged (20 symbols). When the round ends, the Crystal Charge effect is triggered and results in one of four possible outcomes:
Light Beam - A symbol projects light out horizontally and vertically, transforming symbols in the lights' path into another symbol.
Crystal Warp - A random symbol is first chosen, and all identical symbols are warped into others.
Chain Lightning - Corner symbols opposite to one another project an electrical arc striking symbols, then becoming one of the corner symbols.
Nova Blast - A random symbol explodes, destroying nearby symbols and replaces them with others. Play'n GO decided that fully charged wasn't enough, which is why the Crystal Charge meter can also become Super Charged! This happens when a fully charged meter continues charging, reaching 40 or more symbols. Here, a 3x multiplier is applied to the total win of a game round.
For added thrills, Gemix is played across three different fantasy worlds. They can be accessed from the grid by clearing symbols in unique patterns three times. A player will also be awarded the World Bonus, increasing each win in a game round. Non-winning rounds can lead to a unique wild feature corresponding to each of the three worlds.
In the Miner's World, up to 10 wilds land on different grid positions. An edge symbol is selected as the starting point in the Princess' World. It transforms into a wild that then spreads to nearby symbols until reaching another edge symbol. In the Wizard's World, up to 8 sticky wilds appear in random positions on the grid. These remain locked in place until the round ends or the Crystal Charge meter is triggered.
RTP OF GEMIX
Gemix has an RTP of 96.83% and medium volatility. Medium volatility is the middle of the road risk and reward. The slot is excellent for players who want higher potential payouts relative to low volatility slots without the risks associated with higher volatility slots.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Play'n GO delivers an energetic slot with rainbow-coloured gems. While levelling up is not entirely a new idea in online casino slots, it helps differentiate Gemix from many others. Despite having no Free Spins, Canadians will be thrilled by the World Bonus, which offers three unique wild features, and the Crystal Charge feature.
