What Are Play with Gems Games?
Regular slot games, played with Gems instead of cash. Same mechanics, same features, same volatility. The bet, the spin, the win, the bonus round, all of it works exactly the way it would with real money.
Let me say that another way, because it matters.
When you load up a Gem Play slot, you're not getting a watered-down version of the real game. You're getting the same software, the same RTP, the same bonus rounds, the same paytable.The spins are real spins generated by the same RNG.
A 5,000x multiplier in Gem Play is a 5,000x multiplier. The math is the math.
The only difference is the wallet. You wager gems. You win gems. Your wins feed the leaderboard.
What's Not the Same Compared to Real Money Slots
You can't cash out gem winnings as money. Win a million gems on one spin and it's still a million gems, sitting in your SlotsMate account, doing what gems do (climbing the leaderboard, fueling more spins, bragging rights).
There's no real-money jackpot pool. Some real-money slots have progressive jackpots that grow based on player contributions across operators. Gem Play games don't connect to those, since no money is being wagered. The base game and base features all work normally.
What About the Games Themselves?
At launch, the Play with Gems titles comes from Onlyplay and …. They cover a wide range, from chill low-volatility slots good for grinding the leaderboard to feature-heavy bonus buy titles where you can spend gems to jump straight to the good part.
The existing catalog is solid enough that starting with just them keeps things clean.
More providers are coming soon. The slots collection will keep growing as we add partners, and the gems you've already earned will work across the whole library.
Why Are There Only a Few Providers?
We wanted a clean launch. If we'd opened with 20 providers on day one, the lobby would be chaos and we'd have spent the first month answering "why doesn't this work" tickets.
So with a smaller catalog, we know the games are fun, fair, and well-built. You'll learn the games quickly, find your favorites, and by the time more providers join, you'll already know what kind of slot you like to spin.
Please note
If a game you want isn't in the Gem Play lobby yet, it's probably from a provider that isn't on board yet. Check back. The catalogue is expanding.
