Jewel Rush Review

Sometimes, or perhaps many times, simple slots can become immensely popular without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly why. There are plenty of similar games out there, but somehow everything comes together in a way that hits home with the majority of players. Pragmatic Play’s Sugar Rush is one example, and now they’ve attempted a gemstone infused follow-up with Jewel Rush.

The gemstones may appeal more to certain players than the sugar-laden original candy world, and not least if you are on a strict diet. The game pace is excellent with the turbo switched on, and it’s enjoyable to simply get multiplier boosted cluster wins out of the blue on a regular basis. It helps that the multipliers multiply together as well, and things are taken up a few notches in the bonus round. The 5,000x potential is the same as in the predecessor, and we had good fun testing Jewel Rush at least.

Jewel Rush Slot Features

You need between 5 and 15+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere in view to win, and each spin drops 49 symbols onto the 7x7 grid. Winning combos with 15+ symbols pay between 20 and 150 x your stake, while on the lower end 5 symbols cluster wins pay between 0.2 to 1 x your stake.

Winning symbols are removed and replaced by new and or existing symbols dropping down via the Tumble feature, and this repeats for as long as you keep winning.

You get a Random Multiplier Feature in the base game, as winning symbols may come with an x2 win multiplier. All multiplier symbols that partake in the same win will boost that win, and the multipliers multiply together before being applied. You can get a cluster win multiplier up to x256 via this feature.

You need at least 3 scatter symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 10 free spins. Symbols in winning clusters can come with multipliers of x2 or x4 in the bonus round, and they multiply together before boosting the cluster win just like in the base game.

The maximum multiplier is still x256 though, but they hit more frequently in the bonus round. You retrigger the bonus round with 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 free spins, respectively, when you land 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatters in the same free spin.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the feature for 100x the stake.

You get to see a few base game wins here and there, before we purchase the bonus round close to the 1-minute mark. The feature plays out for the remainder of the 2:15-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Pragmatic Play has seen great success with Sugar Rush, which became an instant classic, and Jewel Rush has great potential as well. Not because it’s anything too special, but because of the easy-going and enjoyable gameplay. Everything flows smoothly all the way, and not least if you switch on turbo mode or hold down the spacebar to spin. Winning clusters will simply get boosted by multipliers (or not) each time. The good news is, of course, that the multipliers multiply together instead of simply being added together.

This is a simpler and more straightforward way of doing things than in the predecessor game, where highlighted positions produced multipliers. The colorful and sparkling jewels filling the grid all the way are enjoyable and mood-lifting to watch, and solid multiplier boosts up to x256 can benefit you in all stages of the game. You get more frequent multiplier boosts in the bonus round, and the 5,000x potential is the same as in Sugar Rush.

The candy theme is not everyone’s favorite after all, as it can affect your diet, and with Jewel Rush Pragmatic Play has given players a solid alternative.
