Gem Burst becomes the latest Playtech game to launch
Gemstones are back in fashion, at least when it comes to the online slot world. This week, Playtech unveiled another new slot machine (yet again, without much warning) and this one tackles the all the rage gemstone theme.
About the slot
It is unusual to find a Playtech developed slot with 243 ways to win, but nonetheless, that is exactly what you will find with this new game. The 243 paylines are spread over a 5-reel structure, with wagers costing a cheap 0.25 per spin. Players can also expect to be able to get to grips with this game as a mobile slot, as well as an online one.
Gem Burst features a cascading reels structure, which means that any win will see winning symbols removed from the reels and replaced by new ones. The more wins in succession you land, the higher a multiplier will rise, giving you ample chances to land over-the-top wins.
Slot features
A free spins bonus has also been included in this game, known as the Blasting Free Games bonus. With this feature, players can snap up as many as 30 free spins, during which they can place bombs on the reels to blow up symbols and win prizes. The free spins feature is arguably the most innovative aspect of this new game, which in many other ways is a glammed-up version of NetEnt’s Starburst.
Gem Burst launches at most major Playtech casinos this week, although it is understandable that a few of Playtech’s more prosperous and major casino sites will be able to deliver a game a few days earlier than the rest, as part of Playtech’s commitment to offering timed exclusives of late. The new game won’t blow you away or make you burst at the seams with excitement, but there is something to play for in this new game.
