Juicy Gems Slot by Evoplay

Five paylines across a 5x3 grid, and the paytable is steep. The top-paying diamond hits 1000x for five across a line, which on only five fixed paylines means that symbol either lands perfectly or it doesn't - there's no 243-ways safety net catching partial combinations. Two emerald-type gems sit below it at 100x for five, then three fruit symbols (grapes, pears, citrus, cherries, red apples) drop to 50x. One of those fruits pays from just two matching, which keeps the 14% hit frequency alive despite the narrow payline count. The scatter also tops out at 50x for five, doing double duty as both a payout symbol and the bonus trigger.

Red and orange flames curl across the top of a golden ornate border, with "JUICY GEMS" rendered in fiery text above the reels. Behind the grid, dark purple crystalline geometry stretches into the background - faceted, angular, like the inside of an amethyst geode. The symbols themselves are clean and saturated: purple grapes with a glossy sheen, a bright yellow pear, orange citrus slices, deep red cherries, and that pink-purple diamond catching light at every angle. It's a classic fruit-and-gem hybrid pushed through a dark jewel-toned filter, warm gold accents against cold purple depth.

The Hold and Win bonus needs 5 Bonus coins landing on a single spin. On five paylines with 15 total positions, those coins compete for space with every regular symbol on the grid, and they need to scatter across all positions - not align on a payline. Getting five in one spin is the bottleneck. Once inside, the mechanic works identically to the Bonus Buy version: 3 respins, each new coin resets the counter, coin values between 1x and 16x, and jackpot coins at 20x (Minor), 50x (Major), 500x (Super). Fill all 15 positions for the 5,000x Grand.

No buy option here. The left side of the screen shows the four jackpot tiers in gold text (Grand, Super, Major, Minor scaling with bet size), but there's no button to skip the wait. That changes how sessions play out - long stretches of base game where the paylines do the work, punctuated by the rare bonus entry. The 1000x diamond landing across a full line pays almost as much as a mediocre Hold and Win round, which gives the base game its own ceiling worth chasing.
