There\u2019s Treasure and riches to be had down in the mines, so dust off the old pickaxe and put your back into it with Hot Gems Xtreme Slot<\/em> by Origins Playtech<\/a>.
\nHot Gems Xtreme Slot promises a dynamite adventure in the most mineral rich mine you\u2019ve ever seen. There\u2019s a multitude of different features, and all of them can set the game ablaze.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough but honest work chipping away at them rocks, but thankfully your friend the prospector is there right along side you.<\/p>\n

Hot Gems Xtreme Slot is a follow on from an older game also by Playtech, which was simply named Hot Gems.<\/p>\n

Hot Gems was a fierce example of Playtech\u2019s high level of expertise, and showcased their commitment to making games with attractive statistics that resulted in big pay-outs.<\/p>\n

The Prospector must\u2019ve dug a little deeper into the mines, finding some untapped potential that warranted not only another game\u2026but an Xtreme game.<\/p>\n

Dig Deeper with Hot Gems Xtreme<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s looking like a good days work already down in the mine shaft. The background of the game showcases a mine absolutely riddled with previously undiscovered riches now yours for the taking.<\/p>\n

A bucket attached to a rope lifts the precious stones out of the mine in the background, and it looks like you\u2019ll need a few more buckets given the number of gems down there.<\/p>\n

Aesthetically it\u2019s done pretty well at conveying that growingly popular mine theme, with all of the visuals illustrated to a good level. Audio wise, the game is pretty quiet until it gets going.<\/p>\n

But when you spin the reels you\u2019ll be greeted a with that new, yet familiar jingle that reminds you slightly of the music from Diamond Mine.<\/p>\n

Ways Boost<\/h3>\n

Walking Mystery Symbols are represented by the fire symbol. When landed, these will move and stop randomly while marking positions, turning them into Walking Mystery symbols as well.<\/p>\n

All of these will then turn into the same random symbol. These can not turn into Wilds, TNT or Bonus symbols, nor can they mark TNT or Bonus Symbols eliminating them from the board.<\/p>\n
