Hot Gems Xtreme Slot Review – Playtech Origins

In the casino industry, there is a long list of different providers. Some studios at the top of the chain and some just opening their doors. There is so much creativity from each studio and sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the releases planned for the year. Today we are looking at well-known studio Playtech, first founded in 1999 and now the owner of 140 global licenses. The studio’s latest release is titled ‘Hot Gems Xtreme‘, which is available exclusively to Party Casino.

Hot Gems has a mining theme which is a well-known pick within the casino industry. The slot background is deep underground in the mines, with precious gems to be seen, mining equipment, and lanterns to keep the darkness away. There are other small details such as wooden structures in the mines and animations on some high tier symbols. I personally love the art style chosen, which is colourful and has some great detail. Playtech has used a saturated theme and created unique qualities within these visuals.

Hot Gems Xtreme has a setup of 6 reels by 4 rows, this includes ways up to 262,144. This slot is medium variance with no confirmed max win and no confirmed RTP yet. You can bet from £0.20 – £25.

There are 16 symbols in total, this includes 8 low paying symbols. These are represented by pink, purple, yellow, red, orange, green, blue, and white shaped jewels. There are also 4 premium symbols, these are represented by lanterns, pickaxes, minecarts filled with jewels, and a miner. In addition to these regular symbols is a bonus scatter, diamond wild, TNT, and mystery flames. The highest paying symbol is the miner premium, which pays 7.5x for 6 across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all symbols, except scatters, TNT, and mystery flames.

Hot Gems Xtreme Slot Review Features

Landing 3 or more scatters during one base game spin will trigger the ‘Free Spins‘ feature. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters will award 10, 12, 18, or 25 free spins. During these free spins, every new spin that results in a win or TNT explosion the safety level is increased by one row, which increases the number of ways to win. The safety level guarantees that from the next spin the additional row will remain until the end of the feature.

TNT symbols change to wild and all adjacent symbols (except wilds, mystery flames and bonus scatters) around it will explode after all wins have occurred during the spin.

2×2 and 3×3 big symbols can drop onto the reel set and crush all symbols beneath it when it drops onto the reels. (Except wilds, scatters, TNT, and mystery flames).

When a mystery flame lands it will move and stop randomly marking symbols with the flame. All of the flames will then transform into the same random symbol from reel 1. (Except wilds, TNT, bonus scatters)
