Space Gem: Design and Theme
🖼️ Graphics
Space Gem is pure space without any extra lore: a dark backdrop, cold stars, and six reels filled with crystals that look as if they’ve come straight from a jeweller’s display. The symbols are instantly readable: premium gems are brighter and larger, while the “cheap” ones are more restrained. The wild is a multicoloured orb that stands out even at high spin speed; when it expands to cover an entire reel, the screen lights up and the chase for a chain of up to three respins begins.
🎶 Sound
The soundtrack is soft synthwave with short shimmering accents on wins. There’s no tiring loop: the background keeps a steady rhythm, and when the wild expands, a spacious sweep effect is added — making it easy to recognise the moment when the next respin chance appears. For long sessions, the audio can safely stay on — it’s neither intrusive nor distracting when counting wins in both directions.

Special Symbols
Space Gem has only one special symbol — the wild. It is responsible both for substituting symbols and for triggering respins, so the entire dynamic of the slot revolves around it.
- Appears only on reels 2–5.
- Has no payout of its own.
- Expands to cover the entire reel when it lands.
- Activates 1 respin, with the wild reel held in place.
- Each new wild also expands and adds another respin.
- A maximum of three respins can be awarded in a row.
Bonus Game
Space Gem has no traditional bonus round — everything is built around respins with expanding wilds. The only “extra” mechanic is the Gamble feature, which lets you risk your winnings.
Gamble works like this:
- Activates after any winning spin.
- The player chooses one of two crystals: red or black.
- A card is then revealed in the centre, face down beforehand.
- If the card’s colour matches the chosen crystal, the win is doubled.
- If it does not match, the entire win is lost.
- You can gamble up to seven times in a row.
- You may collect the current amount at any moment.
RTP, Volatility, Max Win
Space Gem has a stated RTP of 96.4%. The slot includes Wazdan’s signature Volatility Levels feature, which lets you switch the risk mode: low, standard or high volatility. In other words, you can choose whether the game will produce more frequent small chains or rarer but larger combinations. The maximum win is capped at x1000 of the stake.
Our Verdict
Space Gem feels fair and extremely straightforward: all the excitement relies on wilds that expand and trigger respins. After long testing, it becomes clear that volatility switching genuinely makes a difference — on low volatility, you see small wins more often, while on high volatility, the hits are rarer but have a noticeably higher potential. The Gamble feature is a matter of taste: some players will enjoy risking a run of small wins to multiply them, while others may find it an unnecessary distraction.
This slot suits players who prefer simple mechanics without layers of bonuses and story elements. If you want something with a similar style but a different approach, look at Starburst (similar neon aesthetic and respins, but from another provider) or Fire My Laser (same space theme, but with aliens and bombs).
