Gems Odyssey

Intro

Finally, something engaging and relaxing at the same time!

Famous for combining all thrilling elements of casual games with real money play, people behind Skillzzgaming do not cease to surprise us by gripping releases.

In contrast to many space-age adventures …

… during this thrilling quest for nebula stones hidden among the starlit gems in the remote galaxy, players have a choice: they can either count on their own powers or turn on AI mode.

Yes, you’ve got it right – once brought to life, artificial intelligence will help the punter solve the board faster!

Theme

Everything is, actually, very easy – this game is a match-three hunt for precious stones. Punters have to look for the clusters of at least three identical gems and tap on them in order to send them to the special bar located above the playfield.

According to the rules …

… to be a cluster, symbols have to be connected horizontally or vertically but not diagonally. Filled by collecting seven matching gems, the bar can be completed multiple times per session. Once filled, the meters grant punters real money prizes.

So, by blasting Nebula Stones clusters (each tile on a 5x5 grid is worth 1 point), players receive Nebula Stones (common, rare, epic, mythical) saved in the inventory until the next level is achieved. While Common artifacts can bring between x0.7 and x2 bet, the top-paying Mythical counterparts deliver between x50 and x100 total bet. And, yes, the number of levels in the game is endless.

The best thing is:

there are special Jackpot tiles illustrated by three lucky sevens. Blasting a cluster of these colorful icons will result in a tremendous prize that equals x1000 total bet!

Betting Options and Functions

As mentioned earlier, the vivid playfield has five rows and five columns of symbols. To set your preferred wager, choose one of the twelve options offered in the bet menu. Supported by a theoretical RTP of 94.5%, the pretty wide range of stakes starts at £0.60 and goes up to a solid maximum limit of £100.

There are two game modes: Manual that allows punters to select the clusters they want to blast and AI that enables the game to do it automatically. Quite naturally, the Autoplay option is available only during AI mode.

Features

When it comes to the extras, this title created by Skillzzgaming is definitely far from being the most action-packed treasure hunt we have ever played. Oh, are we just spoiled by a huge pool of video slots?

However, it does feature a couple of add-ons that may seem confusing at first glance, but in fact, there is nothing really complicated about these two.

Called Second Chance, one random feature, just as its name says, can be activated on a non-winning spin to award one free round. So, it is, actually, a classic free re-spin, which, by the way, cannot be re-triggered.

The second extra comes in the shape of x1000 total bet Jackpot for hitting a cluster of at least three Joker tiles.

Our Take

Well, we do like this unusual video slot!

Perhaps, the most difficult stage of the game is to select the mode. Wittiness aside, we are still not sure, which one gives more opportunities to avoid “No More Moves” flashing on the screen!
