Slot machine details and review Velvet Gems
Velvet Gems is a slot machine that’s available at Evoplay casinos. It’s a gemstone-themed slot, with a backstory that involves a jewelry store, and its design offers a touch of elegance and luxury thanks to its presence. The game area is on the larger side, giving you 5×4 reels to spin, while there are a total of 25 active paylines for your winning combinations.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A slot with medium volatility. Wins occur occasionally and are balanced. The game has an alternating course without extreme fluctuations, suitable for players looking for a compromise between risk and winning potential. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
Compared to other slots that have gemstones for their main symbols, Velvet Gems looks a bit better and not as common, mainly because of the inclusion of a jewelry store in its background image. Without it, based solely on the symbols used on those reels, it’s one of the most common-looking 5-reel slots in its category. You will find a total of 8 regular symbols, half of which are Royals and the other half gemstones shaped like card suit icons.
Velvet Gems theme and symbols
Velvet Gems is the type that you might want to try out directly, and skip the slot’s demo version. Its medium volatility tells us that it doesn’t pose as big a risk as many of the other games with similar themes. Unfortunately, it also means that it doesn’t pay as much, and the 1,073x jackpot that’s mentioned wouldn’t impress a lot of players. It still has an OK RTP, at 96.02%, so it’s not a slot you should avoid based on those elements.

WILD symbol
One of two symbols that can form the game’s highest paying combinations, worth up to 10x the stake, the Diamond also serves as a stacked wild symbol. It can take up 3 to 6 positions on a reel, and while they’re not all going to be visible on a 4-symbol-high reel, the odds of them showing up are much better as a result. You can use wild symbols as substitutes for regular symbols, but not for bonus symbols.
Bonus symbol
A symbol with the golden Vault door, the bonus symbol is going to land on all reels, and it doesn’t matter where they show up.
Free Spins
Landing a minimum of 3 bonus symbols in the same round will bring you the main feature. With 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols, you are rewarded with 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. When retriggered with those same 3 to 5 scatters, you get 10, 15, or 20 more rounds.
Bonus Chance
This is an option that you can turn on during paid spins. It will double the chances to trigger the free spins, but it also costs 40% extra (1.4x the regular stake).
Bonus Buy
The alternative is to buy the free spins feature by paying for the number of free spins you want. The cost is 51x the stake for 15 free spins, 68x for 20 free spins, or 85x for 25 free spins.

Our rating of the game
Velvet Gems
The best word to describe Velvet Gems is “bland”, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. If you want medium volatility and the type of experience this promises, that 1,073x jackpot may be fine, especially since the RTP is 96.02%. The gemstones used in its design don’t tell a very interesting story, and the features involve stacked wilds and free spins, so it’s the sort of thing that lots of other games offer. It doesn’t stand out in any meaningful way, so you can safely ignore it; you’re not going to miss anything. I wouldn’t say it’s a slot to avoid, though, so if you see something you like, give it a spin or two.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
Stacked wild symbols are used to act as substitutes or form high-value combinations.
There is a free spins feature with up to 25 rounds that can be retriggered.
Its Medium volatility makes it a good compromise between low and high volatility slots.
The RTP is at 96.02%, so the amount that the average player gets back is fair.
You can use either Bonus Chance or Bonus Buy to improve or guarantee access to the free spins.
Cons
Boring selection of regular symbols, with gemstones turned into card suits, or blue Royals.
A top jackpot of 1,073x the stake is on the low side, even for a medium volatility slot.
Bland selection of special features, with the kind of options that most competitors have as well.
Regular combinations pay little, anywhere from 1.2x to 10x for 5 matching symbols.
