Gemix 100

Theme and Design

The original Gemix game was popular, but it was looking a little tired, so Play’n Go decided to make it part of their 100 collection. They’ve already taken several popular titles and given them a bit of a facelift and the resulting Gemix 100 does not disappoint. The graphics look sharper, the worlds are crisper and more exciting. 

However, at the end of the day, it’s still a gem-themed slot game, which is far from the most original idea on the planet. Though Gemix 100 is certainly better for its makeover, it would’ve been nice to see a little bit more of a unique personality injected.

RTP and Variance

The original Gemix game has medium volatility, but along with a higher max win, Play’n Go have increased this to high. Combined with a default RTP of 96.20%, Gemix 100 doesn’t stack up too badly. 

However, look out for the alternative RTPs of 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20%, and 84.20%. Playing at the lower end of the scale takes this from a solid RTP/volatility combo, to a pretty unfair one.

Maximum Win

Like many of the other ‘100’ games, Gemix 100 has seen a huge increase to the max win. This now sits at 25,000x your bet, which is super solid, especially considering the reasonable default RTP.

Symbols and Paytable

Gemix 100 is played on 7 reels and 7 rows and uses a cluster pay system. You make wins by connecting 5 or more identical symbols horizontally and/or vertically. 

There are 8 pay symbols, plus wilds. The lower-paying symbols are blue, turquoise, purple, and green, each offering between 7.5x and 15x the bet for clusters of 15 or more. The premium symbols—orange, pink, red, and yellow—award between 50x and 250x the bet for clusters of 15 or more. 

Additionally, three different Wild Symbols can appear during non-winning spins, replacing all regular symbols to help create winning clusters.

Features and Gameplay

Gemix 100 has a great selection of features that each add something unique to the gameplay. Let’s take a look at exactly how the mechanics work.

Cascades

After every win, the symbols that contributed to the win disappear, making way for new symbols to fill the grid. If these new symbols create another winning combination, they also vanish and are replaced. This process repeats until no new wins are formed.

Multiplier

Each spin starts with a win multiplier of 1x. With every successful cascade, the multiplier increases by 1. The multiplier resets once no more wins are achieved and can go up to a maximum of 100x. This 100x cap is Play’n Go’s nod to the ‘100’ part of the title.

Pattern Clear

Every spin, a random pattern appears on the grid. Achieving wins on all the positions of the pattern boosts the multiplier by 5. Completing a pattern also advances you to the next world. There are three different worlds in the game, and once you finish the last one, you circle back to the first.

World Wilds

Each of the three worlds features its unique Wild Symbol, which can replace all regular symbols. These Wilds can appear randomly during any non-winning spin. 

• Miner Wild: adds up to 10 random Wild Symbols anywhere on the reels 
• Girl Wild: spreads across the grid from one edge to the other
• Magician Wild: places up to 4 sticky Wild Symbols on the grid

Crystal Charge

When you accumulate 25 winning symbols during a single spin, the Crystal Charge activates, triggering one of the following effects:

• Nova Blast: One symbol explodes, changing all adjacent symbols.
• Crystal Warp: Selects a symbol and transforms all matching symbols into different ones.
• Light Beam: A symbol emits light beams, converting all hit symbols into different symbols.
• Chain Lightning: Connects two corner symbols with lightning, turning all affected symbols into one of the corner symbols.

Super Charge

When you gather 35 or more winning symbols in the Charge Meter, the Super Charge is activated. This doubles the multiplier for all subsequent wins.
