Developer

BetSoft has been around for quite a while now, being founded back in 1999. Up to now, they managed to develop more than 150 games that boast stunning visuals, due to the fact that their developers specialise in 3D cinematic presentation.

We can all agree that BetSoft is „the innovator and leader in true cinematic 3D gaming“. Proud owners of the unique Slots3TM series also offer table games and casino games to their users.

How To Play It

Let’s first talk about the rules of the game. So, no paylines that pay left to right or vice versa. You can win a payout on any part of the 7×7 layout, thanks to Cascading Clusters. Simply form a cluster of five or more continuous symbols anywhere on the reels and you will get your payout. Winning symbols will explode and make room for new symbols, which can also form a winning combination. Set the coin value ($0.02 – $1) and the bet level (1-5) and start spinning the reels. The minimum wager is set at $0.60, while the maximum possible bet cannot go over $150.

The stunning visuals will definitely impress you, and the bright and colourful gemstones will dazzle you. Giovanni always carries a Torch, Sack and a Pickaxe with him, since he is always ready for exploring caves and picking gemstones.

This is probably why BetSoft decided to use these items as high-paying symbols, as well as Emerald and Ruby. Sapphire, Amethyst, Citrine and Coal act as low-value icons. Giovanni represents the Scatter and triggers the Free Spins feature. Diamonds also appear, rewarding gamers with instant coin prizes.

Special Features

Now, we mentioned that Giovanni has the ability to turn coal into Diamonds. This is possible due to the Giovanni’s Diamonds feature, active only in base game. Every time a Coal is next to a winning symbol, he will turn into a Diamond and get you instant coin prizes. Diamonds can reward gamers with up to 1,000 coins, depending on the number of them on the reels.

You will need no magic to bring Diamonds on the reels during the Free Spins feature. Since here they appear directly. Land Five or more Giovanni Scatters on the reels to get from 5 up to 50 freebies in the Free Spins feature. As for Giovanni himself, he decided not to appear on the reels during free spins, so it is not possible to retrigger the feature.

After every winning spin there is a Double Up game available. Spinners can choose this option every time they want to double their winnings just by guessing the correct colour of the hidden card.

Maximum Payouts

Giovanni’s Gems can really make some lucky player a millionaire, since it offers a maximum possible prize of more than 1,000,000 coins. That’s $1,000,000 if you set the coin denomination to the max!

Cascading Clusters will secure lots of successive wins, the Free Spins feature can get you massive coin prizes and plenty of winning combinations, while Diamonds carry a maximum prize of 1,000 in a single spin.

Summary

Giovanni’s Gems really seems a great adventure that offers excitement, fun and lots of winning possibilities. The visuals are simply impressive, but we expected nothing less from BetSoft.

The features incorporated are excellent, starting from Cascading Clusters, through exploding winning symbols, coals that turn into diamonds and, of course, the rewarding Free Spins feature.

The 2017 release promises to be an enormous hit this fall, and we are positive that an army of gem hunters will follow Giovanni in this mysterious cave, looking to fill their sacks with valuable gemstones.
