Gem Miner

There’s a strange 80’s vibe going on with the music and sound effects, which oddly fits the theme. Here, once again, you enter the depths of the earth, in search of rare gems.

But those are far from the only things you are going to find buried deep underneath. Just spin and you’ll find what else is in store for you!

The traditional setup is reinforced with 20 paylines, cascading wins and a few other specials.

Overall:

The game comes with low to medium volatility, and medium wins. The prizes can reach worthy heights though.

Playable on portable devices, and on desktops from the comfort of home.

Theme

The theme is pretty much as you’d expect from the name of the game. The sound effects we already mentioned. The graphics are of high quality, and not only the symbols but also the occasional animations that feature on the reels and in the background.

You also have a helping hand on the right-hand side of the screen, adding a bit of action to keep the game going. Overall, the theme is well-executed.

Betting Options and Functions

Five reels, three symbols each, and 20 paylines. Couldn’t be more normal than that, could it?

No surprises there, but luckily this has been augmented with cascading wins!

This further modified by the low to medium volatility means that the wins (which are on the medium range) receive quite a nice boost when you really get those symbols dropping in place.

ReelRNG is a modern producer, which means that the interface scales for both desktop and mobile devices alike. There’s not a swath of options, but everything that is needed and necessary is within arms reach (or rather, a click away). Despite the heavy animations, there should be no problems for any device to run this game.

Features

The cascading reels feature means that after every win, the winning symbols are removed from view and NEW ones will drop in their place. If this alone isn’t enough to woo you into trying the game…

…then consider the fact that each win also increases the pay multiplier by one. The max limit here is six, which raises the prizes to high variance level.

To make winning even easier, there is a stacking feature that will come into play randomly and has a chance to fire on any spin. This will place one to five matching symbols between the first to third reels.

You want more…

...well, you got more!

You can land free spins with the help of the scatter symbols. These play as normal bonus spins, with the exception that high paying symbols have been transformed into colossal symbols. Keep those wins coming!

Our Take

Gem Miner might have a bit of a bland name, but underneath you’ll find a surprising slot that sometimes manages to offer wins you wouldn’t expect from a game of this volatility.

The cascading reels are, without a doubt, the major selling point here, but that doesn’t mean the other features would fall flat either.
