Betsoft's Giovanni's Gems - Gem Mining Expedition with Huge Rewards

Betsoft Gaming's Giovanni's Gems is more of an arcade game than a slot. Based on the mining theme, it challenges you to mine valuable gems and become wealthy. The main character of the game is Giovanni, who holds aloft a torch and supervises the mining activities. He watches your game play from one side of the reels and celebrates whenever you hit a win.

Giovanni's Gems doesn't have the traditional reel structure; instead, it is a grid of seven rows and seven columns. These "reels" are laden with symbols of valuable gems such as rubies, diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. In addition, there are symbols of coal, citrine, torches, and pickaxes. The slot creates a fantasy environment, making you feel as if you are in the depths of some forest in fairyland, searching for gems. You get paid not for lining gems along paylines, but for creating clusters of them on the screen.

To start playing, you have to first choose your betting level and coin value. The slot offers up to five betting levels and coin values that range from 0.01 to 1.00. Once you have placed your bet, you can click on the Spin button to set the reels spinning. You also have the option of clicking on the Max Bet button to place the maximum bet. The game has an autoplay feature that allows you to spin the reels automatically up to 100 times.

Further, you can turn the sound effects on or off, click on the little settings symbol to alter the game settings, or click on the little question mark symbol to learn more about the game rules and payouts.

How Much Can You Win?

Thanks to attractive features such as Giovanni's Diamonds, cluster wins, free spins, and a double up feature, you can make quite a nice pile of coins while playing this slot. The slot's high-value symbols are the sack and the torch. If you create a cluster of over 25 sack symbols, you will win 7,500 coins. If you create a cluster of over 25 torch symbols, you will win a jackpot of 5000 coins.

The mid-value symbols of pickaxes, emeralds, and rubies fetch prizes in the range of 150 coins to 2,500 coins. The low-value symbols of sapphires, amethyst, citrine, and coal symbols fetch prizes in the range of 40 coins to 500 coins.

Collect Giovanni's Diamonds for Huge Payouts

If you land a coal symbol next to a diamond symbol, it will turn into a diamond and help you win large payouts. While a single diamond symbol pays 60 coins, a cluster of over 25 diamonds pays the top fixed jackpot of 15,000 coins.

Winning Symbols Explode

Whenever you create a cluster of symbols that fetch payouts, the symbols will explode and the spaces created by the explosion will be filled by symbols falling from above. This could lead to the formation of more clusters, more wins, and more explosions.

Giovanni Comes with Free Spins

One of the most lucrative symbols across the reels is that of Giovanni. If you land a cluster of at least five Giovanni symbols, you will receive seven free spins. The number of free spins you can win, however, depends on the number of Giovanni's in your cluster. You will get the maximum of 50 free spins if you land a cluster of 25+ Giovanni symbols.

Giovanni not only offers free spins, but also cash rewards. If you get at least three Giovanni symbols on the reels, you will win a cash prize of 15 coins. If your cluster has more than 25 Giovanni symbols in it, you will win 1500 coins.

Double Your Winnings or Lose Them All

Giovanni's Gems challenges you to either double up your winnings or lose them all in an optional gamble game that gets activated whenever you create a winning cluster on the reels. You have the option of gambling your entire winnings or just half of them. You can play the gamble game as many times as you wish. You just have to guess the correct color of the face-down card on the gaming screen. If you guess correctly, your winnings will be doubled. In case of a wrong guess, however, you will lose your entire winnings.
