Arcane Gems Slot Machine

Let Quickspin take you on a voyage across 5 reels and 9 paylines with the Arcane Gems slot game. It’s an exciting adventure set on the captain’s table of some old-time sailing ship.

The Arcane Gems slot has a mysterious feel as you go hunting for gems. The graphics have a 3D quality that makes the symbols pop out from the screen. With a wooden table with a map, compass and gold coins in the backdrop, the first thing you’ll notice is the piano soundtrack. It’s all very calming and relaxing.

There are just 9 paylines in Arcane Gems, and winning combinations are created by landing three or more matching symbols on any of the paylines. The winning combinations don’t have to start at the left or right end of the reels, like they would in most online slots – so, this increases your chances of hitting prizes.

The reels are set within a jewellery box and have an opulent feel. Symbols include low value heart, club, diamond and spade gemstones as well as 4 higher value gems. The blue diamond is the most rewarding. Unusually, there’s no wild symbol or scatter.

Triggering the respins will not be difficult. In fact, any winning combo formed in the base game will trigger a feature with Arcane Lock Mechanics, where the highest value positions are locked, while the others get paid. Only those high value symbols remain in place, for the respins that follow. You keep getting them, for as long as there are additional high value icons of that type landing and improving the outcome.

We think the sea-faring theme could have extended to some more of the symbols, with maybe a pirate ship or two on the reels, but apart from this, Arcane Gems is an excellent slot. There’s no wild symbol, scatter symbol, or separate free spins bonus round, but triggering respins on every win is more than enough to keep things exciting.
