This is a 9 line slot, and you can choose any number you wish. Note that the super-jackpot involves lining up all the symbols on line 9, so it does make sense to choose them all. The coin value was fixed at 10c on the version I played, with up to 5 coins possible and 9 lines. This make the spin costs range from 50c to $4.50c. You can select auto-play, which lets you choose spins and configure options on when to stop them.

There are no win lines in the normal way, so you simply select the amount you want to gamble on each spin. This starts at just 50c, with 70c, $1, $1,50c, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 steps. There is the standard Play N Go auto spin option, which lets you configure up to 50 spins at a time.

You can get the symbols in groups of up to 15 or as small as 5. The best gem is the star, which is worth 1000 times your bet amount for 15, and 200x for 12+. Hearts are worth 500 for all 15, with the purple crescent and orange flower worth 100. Values go very small, for example 5 of the darker blue gems is worth only 1/10th of your spin amount. Keep in mind that every win gives you the chance of more via the cascading wins system – and those smaller wins also add up nicely over time.

The patterns and worlds do keep you interested in the game – especially when you only have one more square to get a win on before progressing! On top of this there are some interesting features which add to the game play.

First, there is always a ‘Crystal Charge’ in play. This sits on the right hand side above the display of the current pattern. Each gem that counts towards a win will help the meter move forward. Once you win with 20+ symbols on any one ‘spin’, you get one of 4 special behaviours.

There is a ‘nova blast’ where an explosion wipes out a lot of the symbols, allowing more to fall in and hopefully create more wins. The crystal warp takes on symbol type and turns all of those into different symbols. The light beam transforms symbols vertically and horizontally, and the chain lightning does the same in a zig-zag pattern.

This can be retriggered with a super-charge if you hit 40 wins, when all subsequent wins are multiplied by 3.

Depending on which world you are playing in, there are also characters which appear and give you some wild symbols. Level 1 is the mine, where a dwarf appears and gives up to 10 lanterns randomly on the reels as wilds. This only happens on spins when there are no normal wins. On the 2nd level the princess appears and gives wilds which are linked from side to side and on the final level a wizard has the task of giving you random wilds.

I’m impressed by this game, even though I do not usually play the gems type games on my mobile phone. There are multiple ways to keep you engaged, including that progressive element of moving through different worlds to collect bonuses and get new types of wilds. The Crystal Charge comes into play often enough to keep you interested, and will sometimes add some significant wins.

Most of all, finishing a pattern feels like an achievement all of its own.

I recommend this slot, check it out for yourself and see how a little imagination can make a big difference compared to the 1000’s of regular slots out there.
