How Gemix plays
Clusters of five or more touching gems on a 7x7 grid pay and cascade. Nova Blast, Light Beam and Chain Lightning effects reshape the grid, and wins fill a Crystal Charge meter that triggers Crystal Warp. Filling a Super Charge on top within the same round multiplies that round's wins by 3. Clearing three patterns in a world moves to the next of three worlds (Miner's, Wizard's, Princess') and pays a World Bonus; each world has its own wild behaviour, including falling wilds, sticky wilds and spreading wilds.
Theme: Fantasy gems. Filed under Gems and riches, Fantasy and fairy tale.
Features in this game
- Cluster pays: A pay system where groups of matching symbols touching each other on the grid win, with no lines or reels-from-the-left rule.
- Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
- Expanding wilds: A wild symbol that grows to cover its whole reel (or more) when it lands, substituting in every position it covers.
- Sticky wilds: A wild that stays in place for more than one spin, usually through a respin sequence or a whole free spins round.
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.83% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.17%, so every £100 staked costs £3.17 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £6.34, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as Medium (provider score 4/10). That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
