Pragmatic Play has many Asian-themed games under their belt before, but Elemental Gems Megaways is their first Oriental release with the licensed dynamic reel engine. The game sticks out like a thumb compared to most Megaways titles we’ve seen, not only because of the uninspired visual presentation, but also because 512 ways to win is the most you can hope for. There’s hardly anything “mega” about it, you could argue.

However, you still get the dynamic reel experience with up to 8 positions for each of the 3 regular symbol reels. The almost complete lack of features is another thing that makes this an unusual release, to say the least, as you only have a fourth multiplier reel to look forward to, which increases your wins by up to x100. The 5,000x potential is subpar for this engine, and the gameplay soon becomes as boring as the communist gray stone tiles you’ll see a lot of here.

Elemental Gems Megaways Slot Features

You win by landing 3 matching symbols from left to right, and 3 of a kind awards between 0.1 and 1.5 times your bet, depending on which symbols you win with. Wild symbols can appear anywhere and pay 2.5x your bet for 3 wins. Wilds also substitute for regular payout symbols, of course, to help complete winning combinations.

There are no real features in this unusual Megaways release, as the only extra you get in this game is the 4th multiplier reel . The reel contains multipliers between x1 and x100 , and any multiplier that lands in the framed middle position will increase any win you land on that spin.

Summary

The Megaways engine usually has a bigger and bolder approach than what Pragmatic Play conjured up in Elemental Gems, and there’s something about the gray-centric color scheme that feels too. Combined with mediocre Asian-style elements, the game looks boring from the get-go, though it might appeal to players looking for an ultra-simple Megaways experience like we’ve never seen before.

However, a dynamic reel engine with up to only 512 ways to win is hardly worthy of the Megaways brand, as there are many regular slots with far more ways to win. Elemental Gems is basically an endless base game with mostly dead spins or x1-multiplied wins, but every now and then you’ll get boost wins with larger multipliers. The 5,000x win cap isn’t very impressive for this engine either, and we don’t see this making much of a dent in the West.

Pros

Wild symbols can land on all 3 reels
Multiplier reel with up to 100x multipliers.
