Forge of Gems

Forge of Gems is a gem-themed slot built on the idea that only stones that endure intense heat and pressure become precious gems, so you stoke the furnace to forge them. It was released on April 14, 2022, and you can play the free demo right away with no sign-up.

What kind of game is Forge of Gems?

A new gem slot joining the dynamic payway family. Its distinguishing feature is an extra reel, the Forge Reel, attached above the 5×3 grid. Emphasizing high action, fun, and potential, it carries the confidence of this Play’n GO slot, daring you to check for yourself if you can handle the hot furnace. The dazzling presentation of sparkling gems is appealing too.

What appears on the Forge Reel?

On the Forge Reel above the main grid, special symbols appear that power up the grid. These symbols give you a chance to create split symbols, grant a universal multiplier that applies to all wins, or create stacked wilds. Every time the Forge Reel stops, you wonder which power-up will arrive. When all three power-ups overlap, the screen changes dramatically.

How does the Gem Box open?

When 3 or more scatters land, the Gem Box feature is awarded. Inside the Gem Box, you can receive an instant prize, a varying number of free spins, or even both. Since you don’t know what’s inside until the box is opened, it feels like opening a jewelry case. The opening animation is dazzling, which makes it fun to watch.

Can the ways really grow to 36,288?

There are so many split symbols that can land on the grid at once that, according to the official description, winning paths can grow to as many as 36,288 ways. An x37 multiplier can be added on top of that. The key to this game is that unique symbol combinations working together with split symbols can reach up to 20,000x your bet. The highlight is watching splits overlap and the ways multiply.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.2% and the max win is 20,000x. There’s no official volatility figure, so get a feel for it in the demo. It helps to note whether the Forge Reel more often gives splits, universal multipliers, or stacked wilds, and whether the Gem Box more often gives instant prizes or free spins. Bonus buy is not available.
