Theme and Symbols

The theme for this slot, immediately apparent after opening the game, is a dwarf/mining theme centred on the procurement of fabulous gems and other treasures from the extensive mines dug by these mythical creatures. As you play this game, you will encounter a range of interesting dwarf characters whose zany expressions and amazing outfits delight in their cartoon vivacity. Being an Iron Dog production, the graphics and soundtrack are all of excellent quality too.

The background for Dwarven Gems Megaways is the interior of the mine you are entering, lit by golden lamps and a central fire that burns eternally through the feature. To the right of the reels, players can see a few barrels of equipment. On top of one is a small bottle of hooch to keep the dwarves' spirits high as they look for stunning gemstones. Behind the playing board is the mine's various walls, glowing gems casting light across the screen at multiple angles. Along for the ride on the left of the reels is a bearded ginger dwarf who celebrates your wins with you.

The board has been constructed to emulate a collection of mining paraphernalia such as winches, ropes and supports. The board fits perfectly in the dark and intriguing cave setting.

The symbols for this slot are split into low-paying, high-paying and special icons. The low-paying symbols are the royal card values of 10, J, Q, K and A. Up from these are the high-value icons, made chiefly from the characters involved in this game. These comprise the lantern, the hammer, dwarf 1, dwarf 2, dwarf 3 and dwarf 4. Dwarf 4- the one with the red background, silver helmet and muscled arms is the most valuable, paying 2.5x the stake for five on a pay line. The specials finally are the sack of gold coins which represents the wild, the dwarven bomb dynamite, which is a sticky wild and bomb symbol, the green gem scatter, which activates the free spins game and the power gem which appears in the free spins and adds wild and free spins.

Features

The first feature included in this game is the tumbling reels feature. As in most Megaways slots, if you land a winning combination, the winning symbols are removed from the reels and replaced by new ones. This provides players with multiple chances of winning new wins from the same spin. The tumbles will continue in this way until the new set of symbols does not form a win.

The second feature is called the Dwarven Bomb Feature. This feature concerns the Dwarven Bomb Symbol, which appears on the horizontal reel at the top of the regular reels. When it appears, the Dwarven Bomb feature will be triggered. This special symbol behaves as a sticky wild and replaces other standard symbols to help score wins. If it is part of a win, when the tumble occurs, it sticks to the reels. However, if not part of a win, the symbol will explode, one random symbol from each vertical reel, and two other random icons. In a way, this acts as another type of cascade, helping you score more wins from the same spin.

The next feature in this game is the free spin feature. This bonus is activated when four or more of the gem scatters symbols land on the main reels simultaneously. A bonus wheel will then appear, and you will spin it to choose how many spins you are granted. The maximum you can land is 11. You begin the round with a 1x multiplier which then increases by 1x for every tumble you trigger.

When you are within the free spins, the Power Gem symbols appear on the horizontal reel. These act as wilds and substitutes for regular symbols. They help add more wilds to the reels when they land and add more spins to your tally, depending on how many land.

Finally, this game also has a bonus buy feature which allows you to buy your way into the free spins game. However, this option is not available in the UK.

Conclusion

With Megaways, loads of features and a great top payout, players will be glad to dive into the mine with the dwarves to play this exciting game. Theoretical unlimited multipliers should also entice players to this already tantalising game, and RTP and volatility are also promising.
