Game Overview

Could you imagine being the first person to stumble across an old cave or deserted mine and then discover that it’s full of valuable gems and gold. This scenario is one that dozens of online slot providers like to paint for us as we spin the reels on their games, and the latest release to tease us with sparkling jewels and precious metals is the Pragmatic Play slot Gem Elevator. Stats-wise, the studio provides us with a 6-reel game operating on the cluster pays engine with an RTP of 96.53% and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.

With Gem Elevator being a cluster pays slot, we have the inclusion of the cascading reels mechanic in the gameplay, eliminating winning symbols from the reels and replacing them with new ones. The main hook of the game, though, is the Elevator Nudge feature, which can be randomly triggered by the hard-working minor at the side of the reels at the end of any spin. He can select any number of reels and nudge them up to five times, potentially creating a new winning combo. Additionally, wilds with multipliers can appear, too, with their values doubling each time the reels move by one position. Finally, we have a free spins feature, where Elevator Nudge is guaranteed to trigger on every spin.

If the sound of nudging your way to big wins is an appealing prospect in this Pragmatic Play release, then we invite you to explore the game further in our free Gem Elevator demo slot, available to spin on below.

Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

I think we all know by now that the majority of online slot themes you encounter will have been recreated by dozens of studios multiple times. Obviously, some of these themes get milked to death more than others, and in the case of Gem Elevator, it’s fair to say this is a genre of online slot that has been visited more than most. The good thing about that, though, is that it won’t leave me short of recommendations to tell you about if you want to explore this niche further, so when you’re done playing our free Gem Elevator demo slot today, try out Gemstones Gold from PG Soft, and Gem Crush from NetEnt Gaming to get you started.

It’s that time of our review now where we tell you about the pay structure of the game, and as I mentioned earlier, Gem Elevator is a cluster pays slot, so to hit the max rewards for each symbol, you’ll need to hit a win of 13 or more that match. Okay, that’s the admin out of the way; let’s get into the values. The most precious symbol in the game is the Large Red Gem, which will return 500x if 13+ are part of a winning combo. The Large Purple Gem comes next, valued at 100x, with the Large Blue Gem and Large Green Gem completing the premium section with returns of 50x and 40x, respectively. Dropping to the lower pays, the Small Orange Gem pays 25x, the Small Green Gem awards 20x, whilst the Small Purple and Blue Gems have payouts of 15x and 10x if 13+ symbols match within the playfield.

That just leaves the betting selection to cover on Gem Elevator, and as with pretty much every Pragmatic slot, you’ll find an extensive range of options to choose from. These start from a minimum of €0.20 a spin and max out at a huge €240 a press.

Base Game & Modifiers

Gem Elevator Slot Base Game

The Gem Elevator slot game uses a 6×5 reel configuration with no set paylines or ways to win. Players will be awarded a payout when 5 or more symbols match on adjacent positions anywhere within the playfield. All winning combos will activate the tumbling reels mechanic, which removes winning symbols from the reels, replacing them with new ones for extra chances to win from one paid spin.

Elevator Nudge

At the end of every spin, when all tumbles end, the Elevator Nudge feature my randomly trigger. Any amount of reels can be chosen to nudge up or down up to five times, potentially creating a new winning combo. The nudges may also bring wild symbols into play with a random multiplier value of up to 10x. Every time they nudge up or down, their value will double.

Gem Elevator Slot Bonus Features

Gem Elevator Slot Free Spins Feature

Landing 4, 5, or 6 of the scatter symbols in the base game simultaneously will trigger the main bonus feature and award players with 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively.

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins bonus round, at least one reel is randomly chosen on every spin to nudge up or down at least one position. Additionally, landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters in the feature will add an extra 5, 8, or 10 extra spins to your current total.

Bonus Buy

Those who don’t wish to play the base game can jump straight to the free spins bonus feature via the bonus buy button at the cost of 100x the current bet.

Pros

  • The main feature of the game can also trigger in the base game.
  • Big multipliers can come into play during the feature.

Cons

  • Lots of wins can take place but without the multipliers the values can be quite low.

Gem Elevator Slot Review Final Thoughts

The Pragmatic Play slot juggernaut continues to steam on, and in the case of Gem Elevator, I have to say that it is quite a fun game to play thanks to the Elevator Nudge feature that gives both the base game and free spins round some big win potential.
