Dwarven Gems Megaways

Dwarves, as popularised in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit adventure, are short hairy men who dedicate their lives to excavating deep into the earth to uncover minerals and precious diamonds. Iron Dog Studio has produced a slot which features dwarves on their mission to uncover hidden treasures. Powered by the popular Megaways game mechanic Dwarven Gems Megaways is a must try.

The theme implemented here is the mining theme which features dwarves as the central characters. The slot is played against the backdrop of a deep cave where the dwarves' mining implements are in view. On the side of the reels we see our dwarven team mate, pick axe in hand, who is clearly ready for some mining activities. An upbeat soundtrack fits this setting very well and is something we really enjoyed during the test.

This 6 reel slot, thanks to the Megaways mechanic, will display anywhere from 2-7 symbols on the reels during spins. Where all reels are filled with the maximum number of symbols there will be a possible 200,704 ways to win. Bets are placed from 10 cents to a maximum of 20 euro per spin, with a maximum win per spin capped at 20,000x your stale. This high volatility slot has an RTP of 96.7% which is higher than the industry average as well as other Ways slots!

Your standard pay table symbols features in Dwarven Gems Megaways include high paying and low paying symbols. Your premium symbols are a lantern, hammer and 4 dwarf characters. The highest paying of the dwarfs will pay out 2.5x your stake for landing 6 of a kind. Your lower value symbols are the paying card Ace- 10 Royals. 

Your bonus symbol is the wild. The wild substitutes for any other symbol on the reel which have been mentioned above. Dynamite wilds land on the top row only and act as a sticky wild. The green gem is the slots scatter symbol and will award players free spins. 

The Power Gem symbol appears on the top row only. When a Power Gem lands it will award players 2-4 wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4.

That does it for Dwarven Gems Megaways bonus symbols, now let's take a look at the bonus features!

There are 6 bonus features which we will cover here. During the base game the mechanics in play include tumbling reels and dwarven bombs.  

The tumbling reels feature, like cascading reels, activates when winning combinations are made. Winning symbols are removed while new symbols fill their place, continuing until no new combinations are made. The dwarven bomb feature occurs when the dynamite symbol appears on the top row. These walls are sticky when a winning combination is made, persisting through the tumbling reel. If no combination is possible the wild explodes leaving new symbols to fall in the empty positions. 

Free spins are awarded by landing 4 scatter symbols or more. You will then be required to spin the bonus wheel to reveal your free spin prize of between 6-11 free spins. During free spins a multiplier is applied for each successful tumble of the reels. There is no limit on the multiplier which can be awarded, as long as you keep landing winning combinations! With Power Gems in play during Free spins the winning opportunity is sky high. 

There is also the opportunity to buy free spins, depending on your jurisdiction. Depending on how many free spins you want to buy this can cost you anywhere from 45x-200x your stake. As the greatest wins are made during free spins, this may be an option worth exploring.

Dwarven Gems Megaways is a classic Megaways slot that feels familiar while adding its own unique additions to the mix. The end result is a slot with exciting features that doesn't take too long to learn. We must note that the majority of winnings will be made through free spins bonus rounds together with the Power Gems feature. This is where you should focus your energy if you want to win big here!
