Star Jewelsby Rival Gaming

Join the jewel craze that everyone’s grandmother is raving about in Star Jewels video slot from Rival Gaming.

Star Jewels is set in outer space with a fruit slot feel to it. It’s a simple design with jewels in space, vibrant and wild colors, and trippy animated graphics. The design is honestly, not that bad – for lack of a better term. In fact, it was rather enjoyable to play given its simplicity.

I say that Star Jewels is more like a fruit slot because of the way it plays. If you replaced the jewels with fruit symbols, you would essentially have a fruit slot. There’s only one bonus feature and no scatters. That one bonus does show its face often and does add value to the slot.

Star Jewels Rules

Star Jewels is a 5-reel slot that has 3 rows of colorful symbols. Another aspect of this slot that make it more like a fruit is the small number of pay lines. There are only 10 that pay from left to right. Pay lines can be adjusted to play between 1 or all 10 per spin.

Low betting requirements with the ability to up the ante somewhat will appeal to both small, and larger bankrolls. The minimum bet per coin is $0.01. The maximum is $1.00. You can play up to 5 coins per line if you choose.

All game controls fit perfect on the bottom of the reels. All necessary options are clearly laid out for easy use. In addition to standard controls, an auto play option is added for hands free game play.

Star Jewels Symbols

The typical 9 through Ace symbols show up on the reels in Star Jewels. They are animated during wins, which adds a nice touch to an otherwise generic symbol. Jewel symbols include a red, light blue, green purple, dark blue, red, white and a diamond.

The diamond is the highest paying symbol at 1,000x your line bet with 5 in a row.

Sticky Wilds with Re-Spins

The wild symbol is multi-functional with many talents. Any time it can create a win, it will expand to cover the entire reel. It does only show on reels 1 and 3 though. Once it expands, it becomes a sticky wild that stays on the reels while you are awarded a free re-spin.

Re-spins can be re-triggered if more wilds expand and stick to the reels.

Star Jewels Final Thoughts

My experience with Star Jewels was met with mixed feelings. I enjoyed its simplicity and classic feel. The design, graphics and game play were also a plus that make it worth playing. My favorite part were the sticky wilds that triggered re-spins.

I do wish it had at least one extra bonus like a multiplier or a couple free spins. I understand that it wasn’t meant to be a bonus filled slot and this is fine. It’s well suited for its purpose and does just enough to make me want to play it more than once.
