Gems Bonanza

Gems Bonanza is an Aztec-themed grid slot from Pragmatic Play featuring an 8×8 layout with cluster pays. The game is set against a backdrop of an Aztec temple at night, with molten gold and sparkly gems filling the reels. The high volatility action is accompanied by a soothing synth-heavy soundtrack.

Wins are formed by landing clusters of 5 or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. The symbols consist of various colored gems, with payouts ranging from 50x to 1000x the bet for clusters of 25+. A wild symbol is also present which substitutes for all regular pay symbols.

The base game includes random colored markings that can appear behind any symbol on the grid. When part of a winning cluster, these markings trigger one of five modifiers:

• Nuclear (Blue): Clears the entire grid after all tumbles
• Wild Gem (Pink): Turns all instances of a random symbol wild
• Squares (Yellow): Adds 2×2 blocks of the same symbol randomly
• Colossal (Red): Places 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 blocks of a symbol randomly
• Lucky Wilds (Green): Adds 5-15 wilds randomly on the grid

Winning symbols are cleared by a tumble feature, allowing new ones to drop in for additional wins. The Gold Fever progressive meter on the side fills up with each winning cluster. Collecting 114+ symbols triggers the Gold Fever bonus with 5 levels. Each level includes all 5 modifiers played once sequentially with increasing multipliers up to 10x. The feature ends when there are insufficient symbols collected to reach the next level.

For an additional cost of 100x the stake, players can access the Gold Fever feature immediately through a bonus buy option.
