Legacy of Gems Blitzways – Overview
It’s been a while since Play’n Go released another game in their “Gems” series. In 2021 they released Prism of Gems and in 2022 Forge of Gems. Well now it’s time for Legacy of Gems Blitzways. Another game that fits perfectly with the others.
This new slot comes with a Japanese looking gate where the reels are set within against a cloud background. All the classic card symbols and gem symbols are back again.
You will find 5 reels that are between 2 and 7 symbols high during any spin. And it uses something they call Blitzways. Which means that symbols pay left to right, in clusters, as long as symbols touch each other. So you need at least 3 reels adjacent and symbols need to touch, but multiple symbols can also go up, touching.
The you will find cascading symbols, meaning that winning combinations are removed and all symbols fall down, new symbols fall on top, creating the option for another win.
Besides low paying card symbols and high paying gem symbols you will also find a special red gem, which is the scatter symbol and can appear on all reels. Wild symbols can also appear, but more on those below.
Legacy of Gems Blitzways comes with a very nice maximum payout of 10.000 times bet and is a medium to high volatile slot game.
Features
Wilds
Each winning cluster will leave behind a wild symbol. Each time that wild symbol is then used within a winning combination, it will receive a +1 multiplier, with no limit.
More than one wilds can appear, if more winning clusters appear with no wild symbol already present.
Free Spins Feature
3 scatter symbols will award 8 free spins.
Before free spins start a random wild symbol is added to the reels, which will become a sticky roaming wild, which will stay on the reels for the duration of the free spins. More wilds can appear due to winning clusters, like I mentioned above.
These wilds will keep their multipliers throughout the free spins and can only go up.
Each scatter appearing during free spins will add 1 more free spin, up to a maximum of 46 free spins.
Verdict
Legacy of Gems Blitzways is a nice addition to the other “Gems” games. And also different enough to enjoy them all.
The Blitzways is something you need to get used to a little bit, sometimes I was like, why isn’t this a winning combination. And the I noticed the symbols weren’t really touching. I would have preferred normal ways a bit better I think, or maybe connected ways even.
Overall I do enjoy this new title, like I also enjoyed the others. They are fun and somewhat unique slots with big win potential.
