The Crown Gems slot machine is a medium-to-high variance game developed by Red Tiger Gaming. This 5-reel, 20-payline game has an elegant and classic design, reminiscent of traditional gemstone slots. Players can spin the reels for free or bet real money to try their luck at winning big.

Theme and Design

Crown Gems is set in a lavish, crowngems – Crown Gems antique-style jewelry box filled with sparkling gems. The background image features intricate carvings and ornate details, evoking a sense of luxury and refinement. The game’s title is displayed prominently across the top of the screen, while the paytable and other important information are listed at the bottom.

Symbols

The slot features 10 standard symbols: 5 gems (amethyst, aquamarine, citrine, emerald, and ruby), a golden crown, and a combination of high cards (9-A). The jewels come with varying multipliers for wins. The gemstones increase in value as you move from left to right across the reels, starting at x1 for the amethysts up to x20 for the rubies.

Payouts

Wins are determined by the paytable’s rules: matching 3-5 of a kind on adjacent reels pays according to their respective multipliers. Combinations can be triggered in both directions (left to right and right to left) across any active line, with maximum win limits for each symbol combination.

Wilds

The golden crown serves as the game’s Wild substitute, replacing standard symbols except scatters and other wilds. However, there is no x2 multiplier associated with this feature.

Scatters

There are no traditional Scatters in Crown Gems; instead, certain combinations of 3 or more high-card symbols will activate various Bonus Features (more on these below).

Bonus Features

This slot machine boasts four unique bonus features that reward players for achieving specific line combos:

• Aquamarine Chain : Land three Aquamarine symbols to start the feature. Each subsequent win creates a "chain" of x2 multipliers.
• Emerald Cascade : Win three Emeralds in any direction (horizontal or vertical) and trigger this free-spins mode. You’ll receive 10-15 additional spins with doubled payouts for each combination landed during these extra rounds.
• Citrus Frenzy & Ruby Blast : These two bonus features are randomly triggered when players land 3+ Citrine or Ruby symbols in adjacent positions respectively. Both reward 20, 30, and even up to a maximum of 50 free spins with enhanced rewards for combos formed during the feature.

Free Spins

There is no separate "Free Spin" mode as you’d expect from many other slots; instead, each bonus feature includes additional spin rounds or extra chances at winning. As mentioned earlier:

• Aquamarine Chain provides growing x2 multipliers
• Emerald Cascade awards up to 15 free spins with doubled wins
• Citrus Frenzy and Ruby Blast both award their respective set of Free Spins

RTP (Return To Player)

Crown Gems boasts an industry-average payout percentage of 95.03%, indicating a slightly higher-than-average house edge.

Volatility

The Crown Gems slot machine falls under the category of medium-to-high volatility, which translates to more frequent smaller payouts combined with occasional big wins for well-timed combinations or bonus rounds triggered during gameplay.

Betting Range & Max Win

Players can place bets ranging from $0.20 (at minimum) up to a maximum bet of $40 per spin when all 20 lines are enabled.

Max Potential Win

While no progressive jackpot exists here, players may achieve up to x10,000 base-game win amount if the bonus features grant additional multipliers during gameplay; however, payouts do have a capped upper limit on any single combination.
