It looks like 2020 will be an amazing year for the iGaming industry. Providers are trying out new mechanics, making their debuts in different genres and so far, everything looks just fine.
Gems of Adoria is NetEnt’s first 3D video slot,played on the usual 5x3 grid with 15 fixed paylines.
If we move to bonus features, we’ll see that the release benefits from Striking Wilds, Flipping Symbols, and Free Spins. Of course, it is fully optimized so you can spin these 3D reels from any device!
With a decent return percentage and low volatility, it seems that the provider made this one especially for casual players.
Shall we take a closer look?
Theme and Symbols
Even though it features a common gemstone theme, we must say that the title looks amazing, thanks to the new Real Time 3D graphics system which will rotate the camera as you play. We haven’t seen anything similar in the world of video slots so far and we must commend it.
The paytable is made of 8 regular symbols (green, blue, orange, and pink gem) where the combination of 5 pink ones pays 15x bet.
The ‘’W’’ shaped box is the wild and it can appear on all 5 reels during the base game and bonus rounds. A flashing orb set in the stone case is the scatter.
Betting Options
Gems of Adoria is played with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 15 paylines. Winning combinations are made by matching 3 or more symbols across a single payline, starting from the first reel.
The wide betting range (0.1 to 200 coins per strike) will allow both low and high-rollers to enjoy this 3D one-armed bandit…
…but the maximum win of 500x stake and low volatility will suit the first group better.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) is set at 96.13% which is slightly above average if we compare it to other recent releases.
Features
Acting as a standard replacement for all regular symbols, the Wild is represented with the ’’W’’-shaped box and it can appear on all reels.
The title also offers two features that can be triggered at random:
∙ Striking Wilds – randomly adding 9 wilds on the grid;
∙ Flipping Symbols –the game chooses 5 symbols from the grid and flips them (vertically or horizontally) revealing new symbols there;
You’ll need to keep an eye on orb scatters, because 3 or more will trigger the Free Spins feature awarding 10, 20, or 50 free spins depending on the number of scatters landed.
The great thing is that both random features can come into play during the free spins offering even more chances to score.
Our Take
Gems of Adoria looks amazing, there’s no question about that and we all must appreciate NetEnt’s effort to make some sort of visual revolution here. They managed to transform a quite boring and ’faceless’ theme in a true visual masterpiece!
With R=regular wilds, two random features, and up to 50 free spins paired with low volatility and decent return percentage the title will meet the requirements of every beginner or casual player out there!
