Precious Symbols
The secret hidden cavern hides gems of all shapes and sizes. From dazzling diamonds to sapphires, emeralds to rubies, the cavern is a virtual paradise, with gems of all kinds just sitting there waiting to be claimed. If you manage to land 5 identical symbols in a cluster, on cascading reels, then you are giving yourself endless opportunities to win big. The Coal symbols will be transformed into the highest paying symbol; the Diamond. Other high paying symbols include a bag of diamonds, a torch, a pickaxe, emeralds and rubies. The lower values are represented by sapphires, amethysts, citrine and coal and Giovanni himself is the Bonus Icon.
Free Spins and Goodies
The free spins are triggered when 5 Giovanni symbols appear on the reels. During this round, the Diamond symbol will replace the coal symbols. When the Coal symbol lands near a winning cluster, it will be compressed and turned into a Diamond symbol itself. This adds further to the winning chances as the Diamond is the highest paying symbol.
Cluster Wins
Giovanni's Gems does not have reels as such, but features cluster pays instead. Wins are triggered when you get 5 similar symbols next to each other. The symbols explode as they pay out wins. Subsequently, they are replaced by new symbols that can lead to even more winnings, matches and collapses. The maximum payout is a phenomenal 1 million coins! This will please high rollers and novices alike as anyone can win it.
