WMS Gaming is always on the cutting edge when it comes to producing innovative and exciting new games for players to enjoy. This month, the company has announced the launch of a game that is unlike any others in its roster, as Cool Jewels offers up a unique format and pay scale. Upon first glance, you will immediately notice that Cool Jewels does not look like any other poker machine out there.
Instead of having reels like a traditional pokie, it features a grid format that more closely resembles a social game. In order to win, players must group together four or more symbols. The particular symbols do not matter, as every combination offers up the same prize. As players make more winning combinations, the ‘pay per symbol’ increases.
This is measured on a thermometer on the left side of the reels, and ranges from $.07 to $3.50. Players can also trigger combos and special features that award generous prizes. As players hit winning combinations, the symbols disappear and new symbols fall into their places. This creates a chain effect and offers players the ability to hit several wins on a single spin of the reels.
When player group together Cool Jewels logo symbols, they cause the meter on the right side of the screen to increase. When three spaces on that thermometer have been filled, the player wins 8 free spins. In this round, additional 10x Multiplier symbols are added to greatly improve the player’s chances of hitting huge prizes. Payers can also trigger even more free spins, earning up to 20 more games if they are lucky enough.
There are several slot games out there today that follow this social gaming format, but Cool Jewels seems to set itself apart.
It feels less like a pokie machine are more like a Facebook game, while offering up fantastic winning potential.
