Gem Trio Slot Overview

Gem Trio is a casino slot from Pragmatic Play with out-of-this-world jewelry and bonuses. Here you are taken into outer space, where 3D rendered gemstones that look like they come out of a 90s commercial are your key to hitting the big wins. Pragmatic Play decided to take a step back, at least in time, as the game looks and feels quite a lot like old-school, land-based casino machines, and what else is a bigger giveaway than the use of only having 7s and BAR symbols as your regular paying symbols. Outside of the typical Wild Symbols, the game's main feature is the 3 Gems Free Spins, being able to add extra modifiers such as additional spins, a second playing grid, or Jackpots worth up to 10,000X the bet. So strap in, because we are going to the moon with a max win of 20,000X the bet.

The playing grid is filled with BAR and 7 symbols, as well as surrounded by Jackpots, Feature Buys, and Gems

Gem Trio Slot Information

Gem Trio is set on an old-school playing grid in space, accompanied by a jazzy soundtrack and a commentator that will make some noise for each Gem Symbol that you land. The rest of the game is filled with shiny symbols and sparkly sound effects that will either tickle your fancy or make you go crazy after the first few spins. The game can be played on most desktops, mobiles, and notepads. Wins are made by landing 3 of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reels.

The lower-paying symbols are the BAR symbols, which have two different types: the single BAR symbol and the double-stacked BAR symbol. Landing a win with 3 of the same symbols will pay out 0.3X to 1X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are the 7s, starting with the single 7, the double 7, and the triple 7. Creating a win with 3 of the same symbols pays out 1X to 7X the bet. You’ll also find a range of Gem Symbols that act as Scatters and different types of Wild Symbols, but more on these symbols in the next part.

Free Spins

Wild Symbols

There are 3 types of Wild Symbols that help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for all other paying symbols. The Green and Red Wild Symbols work like regular Wilds, with the only difference being their payouts. The 3X Wild multiplies the win of all winning combinations that it is part of by 3X, except for a win combination only of Wilds.

Free Spins

There are 3 types of Gem Symbols that, when collected, have a chance to trigger their corresponding Free Spins bonus. When triggered, you will be awarded 10 initial spins and one or more bonuses, depending on which Gem Symbols triggered the feature.

Emerald Modifier = With this modifier, every Emerald Gem that lands during the bonus game will award 1 or 2 additional Free Spins.

Diamond Modifier = With this modifier, every Diamond Gem lands with the name of one of 4 Jackpots, which can be seen next to the reels. Collecting 4 Diamond Gems with the same Jackpot name will award the prize. The Jackpots range from 20X to 10,000X the bet.

Ruby Modifier = With this modifier, the Free Spins feature is played on two 3x3 playing grids, with 10 spins on each playing grid.

Triggering the Free Spins feature with more than 1 type of Gem Symbol will mix and match the features, letting you play the bonus game with more than one modifier.

50X = Triggers the Free Spins feature with one of the 3 modifiers, chosen randomly.

100X = Triggers the Free Spins feature with 2 of the 3 modifiers, chosen randomly.

200X = Triggers the Free Spins feature with all 3 modifiers activated.

Gem Trio Slot Conclusion

Visually, Gem Trio stands out quite a bit from most modern releases, even among Pragmatic Play's own recent games, such as Eye of Spartacus or Fiesta Fortune. But the old-school graphics and vibes go together with the gameplay, and maybe that was the plan from the start, and if so, they hit the nail on the head. While old-school games aren’t bad, they can be seen as a bit of a niche compared to what most modern games have to offer, like vibrant graphics, unique themes, or innovative features. With that said, we do think there is definitely a place in the market for these types of games, letting veterans and newcomers experience what casino gaming was like before, especially when it comes with up-to-date stats and a sizeable max win of 20,000X the bet.

Talking about the stats, we might as well go over to the gameplay. As mentioned, the game does come with pretty modern stats, such as an RTP of 96.5%, hit frequency of 27.85%, and a respectable max win; however, it does come with a pretty low hit probability at 1 in every 27,247,956 spins. When it comes to features, there really is only one. While the different types of Wild Symbols are nice, two of them are the exact same with different payouts, while the 3rd acts as a 3X Multiplier to some already pretty low-paying regular symbols. The feature we should really be talking about is the Free Spins, and the 3 types of bonuses that remind us of any other Power Combo game. All 3 types of modifiers feel impactful, be it having an easy way to get additional spins, chances of big jackpots, or letting you play on a second grid. Still, the bonus game doesn’t really show its true colors until you trigger the feature with more than 1 modifier. If you’re hunting down the big wins, then the 3 Modifier Free Spins is the way to go, and if you don’t want to sit and go through the boring base game which has next to nothing to offer, the Feature Buy option does give you 3 different options to kickstart into the bonus games. If you’re a fan of old-school games or just want to kick back and play something simple, then check out the Gem Trio demo that we host here on our website, along with many more games.

Gem Trio is a slot with a volatile bonus game that comes with 3 modifiers for you to mix and match with.
