Just Jewels
In a Nutshell
Just Jewels is a gem of a little slot from Novomatic, the online slots arm of Austrian games manufacturer Novoline.
It has 5 reels, and 9 paylines, and you can select how many paylines you want in increments of 1,3,5,7 and 9.
A Closer Look
Just Jewels has various precious stones making up its symbols, together with dollar bills, plus the one which pays out the highest, the crown. 5 of these on a payline will net you 5,000! (Novomatic games tend often to be high variance meaning they don’t pay out that often, but when they do, the wins tend to be big!).
Adjacent pays are also permissible, in other words if you get 3 of a certain symbol, they must be adjacent to each other, but can be on reels 1-3, or 2-4, or 3-5. The same would apply to 4 of a kind on any symbol.
The exception to this is for Scatters which pay out wherever they appear on the reels (if you get 3 or more).
There is a bet selector and a bet max function to allow you to set how much you will bet per line, and an automatic spin function as well (not all Novomatic games can boast such a luxury) so you don’t need to keep clicking spin if you’re in for the long haul.
Special Features
Just Jewels also has the signature ‘gamble or collect’ feature which Novoline/Novomatic put on a lot of their games. This is triggered every time you have a win in regular play, where you get the ‘take or risk’ option, which, if you risk it, opens up a video poker type screen, where you can double your winning on the last spin if you beat the dealer’s card from one of the remaining 4.
You can continue to double up each time for x5 until you either lose to the dealer or decide to claim your winnings. You then go back to the main screen. If you choose ‘take’, you just bank the winnings you got from that payline.
