Players will notice that Just Jewels is a rather dated slot game that doesn’t offer strikingly high quality graphics. Then again, slot game developer Novomatic isn’t particularly well known for outstanding visuals. The backdrop is fairly simplistic, yet in a nice kind of way. It’s a dark blue background mimicking a watery effect, which offers a good contrast for all the riches on the reels. The soundtrack is still the generic Novomatic music, which doesn’t have any particular affiliation to the theme. But if you feel like it’s getting on your nerves, you always have the option of muting it in the game settings. As for the symbols, most of them depict various gemstones, gold and currency signs. However, even despite the dated graphics and robotic kind of flow, Just Jewels still has a kind of unique charm.
The layout of Just Jewels features the regular 5 reels and 3 rows, which is pretty standard for most slot games out there. In addition, there are only 9 paylines and you also get to adjust their number, if you so choose. Below the reels you will notice that the numbers of paylines you can play with are present on the buttons. They include 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 paylines as your available options. Penny players will be happy to know that coin bet amounts can start with as little as only 1c per spin. As for the maximum wager amounts, they reach pretty high – up to $100 per spin. But there’s more. You will also be able to benefit from the possibility to land winning combos that don’t necessarily need to start from the leftmost reel. Combinations that start on the second or third reels can just as well score you high payouts, so that’s certainly something to keep in mind.As for the symbols, we already mentioned that most of them are related to luxury. First in line are the different gems. They come in four different shapes and colors, starting off with the square purple stone and the oval green one. Following them is the tear-shaped blue gem and the heart shaped red stone. Then there’s the stack of money bills and three gold bars. Finally, the highest paying symbol on the reels is the royal crown, offering fantastic payouts of up to 1,000,000 coins! But there’s one more symbol that we need to mention…
The final symbol that we haven’t yet introduced is the € sign. Though not the most valuable symbol on these reels, it is the game’s Scatter symbol. Therefore, it has the benefit of contributing to payouts simply by appearing on the reels. The Scatter can land on any position in this game and can offer payouts of up to 100,000 coins. However, it cannot trigger any special features, such as freespins or multipliers. In fact, some players may find it quite disappointing, but there are no actual bonus features in this slot game.Nevertheless, players can still take advantage of the Gamble feature. The Gamble feature has become a hallmark trait of sorts in the majority of slot games by this manufacturer. It makes both for a good way to spice up the base game (since there’s no bonus round) and increase your winnings at the same time. It comprises of a simple side game, which you may choose to access after the end of any winning spin. Once you do, a new screen will reveal a deck of regular playing cards. Your goal will be to guess the color of the card on top of the deck. You can only choose between black and red, so the chances of being right are 50/50. A correct guess will double the amount you entered with and you can move on to the next attempt, which will further double your amount. As a result, you can keep on doubling your amount for up to 5 times. You can also pull out of the game at any time by selecting ‘Collect’. We should caution you, though, as this is a double or nothing side game. In other words, you can lose your entire amount just as easily as you can double it. One incorrect guess is all it will take for you to forfeit your wins and end the game.
