Hot Gems

Hot Gems is a mining slot from Playtech set deep underground, where a miner, a lantern, an axe and a mine trolley are the premium symbols and five coloured gems fill the lower tier. It uses 5 reels and 25 paylines with medium volatility and a 95.99% RTP.

The main event is the free games round. A special icon that lands only on reels 1, 3 and 5 awards up to 15 free games with collapsing reels, and each winning collapse lifts the multiplier by 1x. In the base game, wilds land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and logo scatters pay up to 100x the total bet. Stakes go from €0.01 to €100, with a top win of €2,000,000. It suits players who like multiplier chains.

The reels sit inside a mine shaft, the gems give the screen bright accents, and a soundtrack accompanies play. The controls are placed below the reels, and the game runs in the browser without a download.

The miner, lantern, axe and trolley pay from 30 coins for three up to 5,000 coins for five. Yellow, red, purple, blue and green gems pay 2 to 80 coins. Stakes range from €0.01 to €100 per spin.

The game has 25 paylines, and a line win needs at least three matching symbols. The miner is the top regular symbol, at 5,000 coins for five.

• Wild: appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and free-games icons.
