Edward How To Play It
As expected, you just have to pick the wager, and you can start playing. The range of your bets is between $0.20 and $100 for each spin.
Gemix 2 offers 7×7 reels, so 49 symbols are visible at the same time. You use them to form winning clusters of symbols. 5 or more need to be next to each other, touching horizontally/vertically, regardless of the exact reels where this happens.
Special Features
Once you form a winning cluster, you will notice that there is an Avalanche mechanic in the game as well. This removes winning clusters, and allows a new set of symbols to drop down and replace them. New clusters may form this way, which would trigger even more Avalanches.
As you clear certain positions, forming various patterns behind the symbols, you are going to work towards completing the current world that you’re in, and reach new ones. A picking bonus is activated, where you either get a prize (World Bonus), or nothing.
Wild modifiers are going to trigger as you’re spinning the reels of this one, randomly. Each world does something different here. The Knight adds multiplier wilds that occupy multiple positions (mega wilds). The Miner gives you regular wilds, but there are up to 10 added on the reels. The Princess offers spreading wilds, while the Wizard brings up to 5 wilds that are locked in their positions.
Another big thing to mention about Gemix 2, is its use of the Avalanche mechanic, to collect winning symbols. Once you get enough to charge the Crystal, you get a modifier from the following.
- Nova Blast will make one symbol explode, which destroys adjacent positions.
- Crystal Warp will select a symbol and will turn it into others, wherever it may be on the reels.
- Light Beam turns certain symbols into other types.
- Chain Lightning will pick two symbols from the corners of the game area, using a lightning bolt to connect them, and then to transform the affected positions into one of those initial two symbols.
If 50 charges are collected, then you get all modifiers active at the same time, along with a 2x multiplier applied by the wild.
Maximum Payouts
I like the potential of Gemix 2, the slot machine being capable of paying 7,500x the stake. Considering that it’s a game with medium volatility, I’m satisfied with the amount it can pay. The RTP is decent, at 96.20%, but it was even better in the previous slot.
Summary
Gemix 2 is not a massive improvement over the original, so its players might be disappointed. The RTP has been reduced, the graphics are largely the same, but it’s still fun to play, if you enjoyed the original.
