Brilliant Gems

Diamonds are forever, but so are classic, old-school slots. Take one of them, dress it up in a sparkling new suit, add some interesting features, a spoon of glitz and glamour and you get the elegant-looking Brilliant Gems slot.

Its visuals will dazzle you on the first look...

…but its engaging gameplay will make you stay awhile. It is rather simple, but the possibility of triggering one of two exciting features is certainly worth checking out. Especially when one of them can bring the whooping Grand jackpot worth 1000x the total bet!

With its glamorous setting, this release by RubyPlay will make you feel like you are a high roller in some Las Vegas casino from the first spin. Still, don’t let the shiny exterior distract you from important details. Read our review and find out what is underneath its ravishing exterior.

Theme

This game draws inspiration from traditional slot machines, but with a shiny, fresh take.
The grid is set on a glamorous red and gold background and framed with sparkling diamonds and golden details.

Spinning on the reels are the classic 7s, cherries, and bars.

However, their design is embellished with gems, which gives them more elegance. On the other hand, the soundtrack doesn’t quite capture the luxurious theme and it can get annoying since it is very repetitive.

While this is quite a simple game, the graphics is top-notch! This is one stunning looking title with a striking visual appeal. That won’t change on smaller screen devices since this release is completely optimized for mobile platforms and playing on the go.

Betting Options

This is a video slot with 4 reels, 1 row and 1 payline. However, only three reels are active at all times. The special fourth reel on the right contains multipliers and other prizes, but it is activated under specific circumstances.

The stakes you can place start at only $0.10 and go way up to a maximum of $100, providing a wide range of betting choices. Considering the number of winlines, this is a standard payline slot.

Six basic symbols spinning on the reels include a single, double and triple bar symbol as well as a green, blue and red lucky seven made of gems and cherries.
As for the special symbols...

...the wild symbol can also make the appearance, substituting all other cards on the line.

The RTP of this title is 96.49 %, which is slightly above average. Due to its medium volatility, this game might intrigue both high rollers and less experienced punters.
