Wild Symbol

The game's wild symbol helps enable more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols, except for the scatter and forge reel symbols.

Cascade

When you create a winning combination, the Cascade feature is activated and all symbols that were part of the winning combination will disappear from the reels. New symbols will then fall down to cover the empty positions, and this will continue as long as new wins are created.

Forge Reel

Above the normal reels, you have a horizontal reel also known as the Forge Reel. It is inactive from the start and is activated by the occurrence of a cascade. Then symbols from the forge reel will fall down on the empty positions to enable new wins. On this forge reel, a few special forge reel symbols may land.

Forge Reel Wild = You can land vertical and horizontal wilds, which will turn all symbols except scatters into wilds on the reel and turn matching symbols on the row into wilds respectively.

Forge Reel Splitter = You can land vertical and horizontal symbols that splits matching symbols on the reels and splits symbols, except scatters, on a row and is also wild.

Forge Reel Multiplier = This increases the win multiplier by 1X.

Forge Reel Blank = This will be removed when cascading.

Win Multiplier

When a win multiplier symbol is cascaded, the total win multiplier will increase by 1X. Within the base game, the win multiplier will reset before each new spin, while it will remain during the spins within the bonus game. The current win multiplier will be applied to the winnings created.

Gembox

If you land 3 or more scatter symbols, the Gembox feature is activated. You will then be able to take part in instant prizes and/or free spins, which give better prizes if you land more scatter symbols. You can get the following when you have landed 3 or more scatter symbols.

3 scatter symbols = You can get a 20X instant prize, 8 free spins, 10 free spins or the instant prize along with one of these free spins.

When you activate the free spins feature, it will not be possible to land blank symbols on the forge reel. You cannot retrigger extra free spins and during the spins the win multiplier will not reset.

Forge of Gems Slot Conclusion

It's yet another great gaming adventure within the gems series, and this time we've arrived at the place where these gems are forged. Like the other slots in this series, there is once again a glamorous and luxurious theme that permeates the game. One thing that you quickly notice is that they this time have created a top reel that has 5 positions and is thus placed above all the reels, unlike for example Prism of Gems which only had a top reel on the middle 3 main reels. This increase results in that the forge reels festive symbols are being able to land on more reels and thus help split more symbols, where you can get up to 36288 ways to win. The game's wild symbols, as usual, help generate more winning combinations and its ability to be spread out in more positions makes it at times very explosive. The win multiplier gives a taste of its power when it lands within the base game, but since it resets before each new spin, it rarely has time to grow really big.

That's why the free spins feature becomes something you crave extra much, where the win multiplier doesn't reset between the spins and also blank symbols can't land, leaving room for more of the better symbols. Before you can activate the free spins feature, you need to land 3 or more scatter symbols to activate the Gembox. This box is certainly filled with juicy things, where you can get instant wins and/or free spins. It's still a very high potential maximum win of 20,000X, but it's been lowered considerably from the previous version's 30,000X. Its RTP is within the same range and assuming the higher one is used, it's within a good size. Much is the same here, but the expansion of the forge reel certainly helps generate more exciting moments. There's more action from this special reel and its potential to provide up to 36288 ways to win adds an extra spice to the spins.

Forge of Gems from Play'n GO is a slot where previous features from this series have been given a few polishes and the crafted outcome provides more entertaining spins than before.
