Collapsing Reels

In Hot Gems, each spin can have multiple wins. If there is a win in the spin results, all symbols that participated in any winning combination explode, once all wins of that screen have been counted, and the symbols on top of them fall down and take their empty places. The reels keep collapsing this way as long as new winning combinations are formed. Winning and symbols also explode.

The Collapsing Reels feature is active during both main and Free Games.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. It can stand for any other symbol, except and , to make the best possible winning combination.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on any particular payline. If there are two or more Scatter symbols in any position in the spin results, the payout earned is multiplied by the total bet and added to payline winnings.

Free Games Symbol

The Free Games symbols appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5 and only during the main game. When they appear anywhere on all 3 reels simultaneously, they trigger the Free Games feature.

Free Games

Free Games symbols in any position on reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously during the main game trigger 15 Free Games with Collapsing Reels Multiplier Feature. Free Games cannot be retriggered.

Click Start Free Games. You will then be shown an animation that will reveal the number of Free Games you have won.

Any spin during Free Games starts at multiplier X1. If there is a win, the multiplier goes up by +1 and any resulting winning combinations after the reels collapse are multiplied by this number. If there is a win in the new combination, the multiplier will go up +1, and so on. The maximum value the multiplier can reach is X5. New spins reset the multiplier to X1.

During the Free Games, the reels are spun automatically using the same number of lines and bets per line as on the spin that won the Free Games round. After each spin, the win is displayed in the Win field. The Free Games Win field shows the accumulated winnings from the current Free Games.

After all Free Games have been completed, a result board summarizes the winnings. Game Win shows the winnings that were received from the spin that won the Free Games. Feature Win shows the winnings that were received during the Free Games. Total Win shows the accumulated winnings (Game Win and Feature Win added up).

If there were no winnings in the main game reels that triggered the Free Games round, only Total Win will be shown.

Clicking Continue will return you to the main game. When returning to the main game, clicking anywhere on the screen stops the win ticker and displays the full prize.

Free Game wins are added to the payline and Scatter wins, if there are any.

If the Free Games are triggered during the Auto Play mode, the feature begins after the player clicks on Start Free Games on the main game reels. When all Free Games have been played and the player clicks Continue on the screen summarizing the Free Games win, the Auto Play mode resumes automatically. When returning to the main game, clicking anywhere on the screen stops the win ticker and displays the full prize. The Skip button can be used during Auto Play the same way as during regular game play.
