Dwarven Gems Megaways Slot Review

Dwarven Gems Megaways Slot RTP Details & Wager Limits

The Dwarven Gems Megaways slot has 6 reels and uses Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic. On each spin, between 2 and 7 symbols will appear on every spin. This is determined randomly.

If all reels have 7 symbols each, they will combine to offer 200,704 Megaways/ways to win. To get a winning combination, you need 3, 4, 5 or 6 matching symbols on consecutive reels beginning from reel 1. The only exception is the chief dwarf as you only need 2 matching symbols.

Available to play from 10p to £20 a spin, click on the ‘Coins’ icon and then use the plus and minus buttons to adjust accordingly. You will also find an Autoplay facility where up to 99 autospins can be chosen. You can set up loss, win and single win limits and stop when you trigger the feature or on any win.

The Dwarven Gems Megaways RTP is 96.7% which is much higher than the 96% average. As far as Megaways slots go, it’s just above the norm of about 96.4%. Very high variance, each spin can result in a 20,000 x stake max payout.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – head to the earth’s core and harvest rare gems and gold

Head down to the Earth’s core to harvest rare gems and gold in the Dwarven Gems Megaways slot. With a mining/dwarf theme, you join a brave team of dwarves who explore the deepest crevices of the ground below to dig up treasure.

The first thing you will notice is the rhythmic soundtrack which is mesmerising and sets the tone. Set in a mine with an axe-wielding dwarf to the side of the reels, symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The higher value symbols include lanterns, hammers and 4 dwarf miners. The highest paying dwarf symbol gives you 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 or 2.5 x stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination. He looks a lot like Gimli from The Lord of the Rings.

The sack of gold coins is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols mentioned above. You then have the dynamite wild symbol which appears on the top horizontal reel only. It acts as a sticky wild. Here’s a list of all symbols you’ll come across include payout information:

Dwarven Gems Megaways Mobile

Produced with HTML5 technology, Dwarven Gems Megaways is available to play on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. For the optimal experience, I recommend playing on a larger screen due to the shifting Megaways mechanic and the number of symbols appearing on the reels.

Dwarven Gems Megaways Bonus Features

Dwarven Gems Megaways comes with 6 bonus features. Central to the action are tumbling reels and Dwarven Bombs that act as sticky wilds and explode symbols to give you more opportunities to win. Then you have free spins with an unlimited win multiplier and Power Gem symbols that add wilds and more free spins.

Tumbling Reels feature

Like with other Megaways slots, there’s a Tumbling Reels feature. When you land a winning combination, the winning symbols are removed and replaced by new symbols. This gives you to chance to win again. The tumbles keep on coming until no more new wins are formed.

Dwarven Bomb feature

Look out for the Dwarven Bomb symbol (dynamite) appearing on the top horizontal reel. When it does, the Dwarven Bomb feature is activated. The Dwarven Bomb acts as a sticky wild and substitutes for all normal symbols. If part of a win, a tumble occurs with the sticky wild in place.

When no win is created, the Dwarven Bomb explodes itself, 1 random symbol for each vertical reel and 2 extra random symbols. This creates lots of empty positions on the reels which new ones falling in. It basically gives you another chance to form a winning combination.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered when 4 green gem scatter symbols appear on the main reels. You then spin the bonus wheel to win 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 free spins. Once in, you begin with a 1x multiplier which increases by 1 with each tumbling win. The multiplier can increase infinitely too, much like in most Megaways slots.

During the free spins, Power Gem symbols appear on the top horizontal reel. These act as wilds and substitutes for normal symbols. When a Power Gem symbol appears, it adds between 2 and 4 wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4.

If 2 Power Gem symbols appear, between 4 and 8 wilds are added to reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Furthermore, they give you additional free spins, with no limits:

Finally, you have the Lucky Last Spin feature. This comes into play if you land a win on your last free spin. This give you 1 extra free spin which is repeated until you don’t land a winning combination.

Buy Free Spins feature

In some countries, there’s a Buy Free Spins feature. Not available in the UK, you can buy your way into the Free Spins feature. There are various options though.

If you choose 15 or 20 free spins (for 400/500 x stake), the Bonus Upgrader feature comes into play. You will get free spins with more Power Gem and Dwarven Bomb symbols landing basically. The RTP for these free spins is 96.5% and the most you can win in total of 30,000 x your total stake.

Dwarven Gems Megaways Review Summary – Megaways with a twist

The Dwarven Gems Megaways slot has many elements of a classic Megaways game such as tumbling reels, free spins and an unlimited win multiplier. Iron Dog Studio has combined these features with new ones to offer something unique.

It’s similar to Rock the Reels Megaways where there are some difference in terms of gameplay. Rock the Reels Megaways has the same RTP (96.7%) but a higher max win of 50,000 x stake (vs 20,000 x stake).

That said, Dwarven Gems Megaways is a good slot game which will surely appeal to those who like the mining theme. There are plenty of options in this crowded genre though with Nolimit City’s Fire in the Hole my favourite.
