Gems Inferno Megaways Slot Review

The Gems Inferno Megaways Slot Game

When I fire up Gems Inferno Megaways, I am dropped into a fiery forge packed with glittering trinkets and molten metal. The reels sit inside a gigantic contraption, with chains, spikes, and streams of lava flickering in the background. The soundtrack keeps to that medieval fantasy style, so the whole thing feels like a royal workshop where crowns, rings, and amulets are hammered out beside piles of raw gemstones.

Its layout sticks to the familiar Megaways set-up, with six main reels showing between two and seven symbols apiece and an extra horizontal reel above the middle. That mix can reach up to 117,649 ways to win on a single spin. Every win triggers Chain Reaction, so winning symbols vanish and new ones fall in. Wild hammers drop only on the top reel, helping regular combinations but never replacing gem scatters.

Symbols and Payouts in Gems Inferno Megaways

The Gems Inferno Megaways paytable keeps nine regular symbols in play, supported by the shifting ways mechanic. Low pays are the card values from ten to ace, coloured green through to blue. Hitting three to six of a kind on adjoining reels from the left awards between 0.1 and 0.6 times your stake. The high-paying icons show jewelled rings, a bracelet, a medallion, and finally the crown sitting at the top.

Landing six high symbols pays from 0.3 times to 1.5 times the bet, so line wins are on the modest side, especially as there are no win multipliers running in the background. To help out, hammer wilds can drop on the horizontal reel and step in for any regular pay symbol. They cannot stand in for the special gem icons or the gem sack, so those still have to land naturally.

On top of the regular table, Gems Inferno Megaways piles on Magic Gems and four diamond types that act like cash scatters. Magic Gems can show stake multipliers ranging from 1x up to 100x, while the standard Diamond holds a fixed 10x. The Red Diamond is worth 50x, the Pink Diamond jumps to 250x, and the rare Blue Diamond reaches 2,000x. Only one Pink and one Blue can appear in a spin.

Gems Inferno Megaways Slot Bonus Features

The main Gems Inferno Megaways bonus action comes from the Gemmed feature, supported by Chain Reaction and the Gem Sack scatter. Any spin where six or more gems land together triggers Gemmed, giving three respins with all triggering gems locked in place. Every new gem that lands also locks and resets the counter back to three. The layout from the triggering spin stays fixed, and the round ends when respins run out or the grid fills.

Gem Sack symbols appear only on the top reel in Gems Inferno Megaways and can drop up to three random gems onto the reels below, both in the base game and inside Gemmed. They do not lock, though they can swing a bonus over the line or fatten up an ongoing round. If you do not fancy waiting, there is a Feature Buy button that costs 80 times your stake and starts Gemmed instantly.

How to Win at Gems Inferno Megaways Slot

In terms of regular wins, Gems Inferno Megaways follows the usual Megaways pattern, paying when at least three matching symbols land on adjoining reels starting from the leftmost. Each reel can carry between two and seven symbols, so the number of active ways changes on every spin, up to that 117,649 maximum. I tend to let the Chain Reactions play out, then decide whether to press again or splash out on the bonus buy.

Gems Inferno Megaways Slot RTP & Volatility

Gems Inferno Megaways runs on a fairly modest RTP profile for a Megaways slot. The default setting sits at 95.67 percent, with some casinos choosing lower profiles of 94.72, 92.71, or even 90.71 percent. When the Feature Buy option is present, the Gemmed bonus carries a slightly higher 95.73 percent figure. Hit frequency clocks in at around 27.25 percent, so on paper you see a win slightly more than once every four spins.

The volatility in Gems Inferno Megaways feels high, with lots of empty chains punctuated by occasional flurries of hits. The theoretical maximum win is 2,553.2 times your stake, which is pretty tame for a Megaways title. Much of that top end comes from landing several Magic Gems backed up by the bigger diamonds in Gemmed. Without those, the small line wins and wild helped chains tend to trickle along rather than explode.

The Final Thoughts on Gems Inferno Megaways

For me, Gems Inferno Megaways sits in that bracket of simple, gem themed Megaways slots that do a solid job without trying anything too fancy. The forge setting and cascading wins keep it engaging, and Gemmed can throw up decent streaks, especially when Gem Sacks behave. On the flip side, the capped potential and lack of multipliers mean I use it more for short bonus hunting sessions than long, high-stakes grinds.
