Jewellery Store

All over the world in a ton of different cultures, you will find stores where gems and precious metal items are sold. The Jewellry Store slot, a game available at Evoplay Entertainment casinos, is based on this type of theme with all kinds of different gems and pieces of fine jewellry on the reels. The graphics are sufficient for what you'd expect with this type of concept, and you'll also find that the gameplay is centered towards a low-volatility experience. Put all of this together, and you get a title that will appeal to a reasonably large percentage of the overall audience.

Slot Layout

The layout for this title is set up to give players enough ways to win to be interesting while still making it fairly easy to keep up with what all the lines are and where they're located on the reels. They achieve this with five vertical reels across three horizontal rows, and a total of 10 static paylines that cannot be changed are on this grid. Betting allows players from small stakes all the way up to high roller status to find wagers that will work for them, and all wins in this game are based on multiples of the total wager. This means that the more you bet, the better your payouts will be.

The Dragon Expanding Wild

There is just one symbol on the whole game that isn't a jewel or piece of jewelry, and that's the dragon symbol. The dragon is the wild symbol for this title, and it makes its appearance on the second, third and fourth reels. Because it only shows up in this game on the middle three reels, you will not be able to get winning combinations that only consist of wild symbols. In spite of that, there's still a great amount of value that comes from these wilds, and it's easily the most important symbol in the whole game despite the fact that it only shows up on 60 percent of the reels.

Another thing that adds value with this symbol is the fact that it always expands to cover the whole reel. Whenever you get it on the reels, it will expand vertically in both directions to fill that reel with wild symbols. This not only increases the chances of getting paid overall, but it increases your chances to hit multiple payouts on the same spin, which is a major part of where the high hit-rate style of play comes from.

Free Re-spin Bonus Feature

When players get an expanding wild symbol on the reels, they are paid out any winnings right away, and then the re-spin feature starts. The way this works is that you'll have the wild reel hold in place while the other non-wild reels spin once again at no cost. Any wins you get from that extra re-spin are added to your total. What's critical to note, however, is that if you get more wilds on the reels, they will hold in place as well, and that leads to another re-spin.

You can actually get re-spins with all three middle reels held completely wild, and that means you're guaranteed a lot of four-of-a-kind wins with chances to get five-of-a-kind combinations just by getting symbols on the first and last reels in the right place.

Jewelry and Gems Symbols

The top payout in this game is for 250x when you get five of the multi-colored ring on a payline. Things drop down a little to the 120x level for five of a kind combinations of the silver tiara with green accents. A win of 60x is yours for five of the silver ring with a tiger's head, and you can make it 25x for five of the red, tear-shaped gem. The green triangles get 25x, and you'll be paid 15x for five of the blue diamond. Finally, five of a kind of the bunches of pearls gets players 15x.

Our Thoughts

Evoplay Entertainment did a solid job with putting this game together in a way that doesn't have too many bells and whistles. The Jewellry Store slot is definitely all about giving players a low-volatility style of play with a high hit-rate and a set of features (expanding wilds, re-spins) that facilitate those aspects of the gameplay style. While it doesn't have the most features or best graphics of any game out there, it's not supposed to for what it's trying to get across to the target audience. This game isn't for everyone, but if you like low-swing gameplay, then you may want to give it a try.
