How the Gem Rocks bonus works

No WILD or Scatter symbols in this atypical machine. As a result, there is also no free spins bonus feature in Gem Rocks but a Gem Rock feature. Depending on the number of consecutive winning combinations, a Monster Rock will appear on the grid, of varying size. 2, 5 and 9 consecutive winning combinations will trigger a Monster Rock of size 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 respectively. These Monster Rocks increase the number of winning connections and therefore the winnings are more colossal.

Our opinion about Gem Rocks

At first glance, Gem Rocks seems to lack some interesting bonus features. Purists will regret the absence of the WILD symbol and free spins bonus. But for those who are looking for a base game with enormous potential, this machine from the provider Yggdrasil will delight them with a maximum payout of up to 9,000 times the starting bet.
