Gems Bonanza is an online slot played on an 8×8 reel setup, with gems disappearing from the screen with a tumble, and with special cells featuring a specific mark that can trigger one of the five Spin Features. The game offers 20 paylines, an 96.55% RTP and a max win of up to 10,000x your stake that can really light up your day (and wallet).a. For a lot of us, the Bonanza associates with the American gold rush, probably thanks to the BTG’s influence, but Gems Bonanza is taking a step deeper to south, to the ancient lands of Aztec civilization. We seem to be somewhere around the ancient temple, where Aztec styled steps, ornaments and even a gold furnace is seen.
Aztec Bonanza Theme/Symbols
Aztec Bonanza lives up to its name on the design front. It really is a feast for the senses. With waterways, lush green vegetation, a mighty pyramid and an ornate totem pole in the background, the reels are made up of heart, diamond, club and spade symbols as well as 4 gemstones. The best of these is the green gem which pays 0.5, 1 or 2.5 x your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on adjoining reels.
Tumbling feature
To begin, the symbols appear in a cross formation. This offers 384 ways to win. The game uses a Tumble feature (also known as a tumbling reels mechanic). After a winner is formed, the successful symbols are removed and new ones drop in and replace them.
After 2 successive tumbling wins, you’ll open 1 of the blocked corner portions of the reels. This increases the number of ways you can create a winner. It also triggers a modifier.

- Top Right Corner - up to 3 lower value symbols morph into higher value symbols
- Bottom Left Corner - all symbols on reels 1 and 2 are replaced by colossal 2x2 symbols

We enjoyed this jungle adventure. If you like the Aztec theme, it’s well worth exploring. If you want a slot game with a similar theme and tumbling reels, Gonzo’s Quest (by NetEnt) is recommended as it can add multipliers up to 15x in the feature.
