The wombat says: Ahoy Wombatters! When is a slot not a slot? When it’s an epic new release from those game makers over at Skillzzgaming.
Meet the Gems odyssey slot – a 5×5 reel game with a familiar space/gemstone theme that’s got some excellent bonuses – plus its own level up system. This game looks nothing like your standard game (say like the Queen of the Castle slot for instance).
This game features 2 different modes to play in; manual mode and AI mode. BUT most importantly, it’s much more like playing Candy Crush than spinning your traditional reels, as the gems explode giving way to new gems.
Put your spacesuit on and let’s get on an intergalatic treasure hunt for those gems.
Look and Feel
The Gems Odyssey slot is set in a vast solar system with a giant cube thing in the middle of your screen where the gems appear. It’s very easy on the eye.
If you want a game that has all the latest gizmos and gadgets head for Archangels Salvation – Gems Odyssey is more “classically” styled, should we say.
Gems Odyssey Game Play
So how does it work? Well… In order to accrue some chunky wins, you’ll have to match 3x symbols (and fill the gem bars above up to seven).
You can do this done by clicking on clusters of gems, which in this game is called ‘blasting’. Confused? Well, you could always fire up the 5 Reel Drive slot which is more of an traditional game, but we’d encourage you to stick with it….
Your symbols are made up of six jewel stones – each with a different colour and shape – they display their individual multiplier values on the top of your screen and they include; red rubies, yellow amber, blue sapphires, green emeralds, purple amethysts and orange garnets. The orange space jewels are the most valuable on the reels, and with their x10 multiplier can rack you up some serious wins
There are is an additional bonus icon in Gems Odyssey slot, the Jackpot symbol. Marked with the lucky number 7 onto this symbol, keep your eyes peeled for (more on that later).
There are also two different ways of playing this game; one automatically blasts clusters (artificial intelligence mode), while the other is manual mode that allows you to pick which bejewelled critters to get rid in your own time.
Free Spins and Bonuses
You’ll find 5 different bonus options on offer here in Gems Odyssey slot, let’s take a look..
Jackpot Feature
Blasting a cluster of three Jackpot icons will pay out a cash prize of x1000 your bet value. Yippee!
Levelling up
Each blasted gem will give you one point towards the next level up (this doesn’t including the Nebula or Jackpot tiles). Upon reaching the required points you will progress to the next level, and any Nebula stones you gained along the way will be exchanged for cash. Smart.
Nebula Stones
There are four kinds of Nebula Stones each with a different range of rewards; Common, Rare, Epic and Mythical, which is of course the rarest and most lucrative nebula. These star systems are given out to you after you’ve successfully blasting a cluster of Nebula Stone icons, and once earned, they’re kept safely above your screen until they’re exchanged for cold hard cash when you next level up.
Second Chance Feature
If at first you don’t succeed, try again! Yes this randomly activated bonus on non-win games will give an extra free game, which is very thoughtful of Skillzzgaming, But FYI Wombat fans, this feature can’t be triggered again while playing a second chance go.
Conclusion
If you fancy roaming around the vast universe collecting lucrative wins (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) then the Gems Odyssey slot will suit you down to the ground. And if you manage to blast a Jackpot cluster, then you really will be sky high…
