Velvet Gems: Stack Wild Diamonds Inside Golden Vaults for up to 25 Free Spins

Enter a Victorian jewellery shop in EvoPlay’s Velvet Gems, where stacked wild diamonds and golden vaults hide up to 25 free spins. Silver necklaces, gilded pocket watches, and precious antiques aside, the game has a pretty simple premise and an even simpler bonus. That said, it was a bit sketchy from the beginning, let me tell you all about it below. 

Silk curtains open and reveal precious jewellery before which a 5x4 reel grid stands. You get 25 paylines to form winning combos here and a medium volatility tuning to balance out wins. Or so you’d think! Symbol pays here are extremely unbalanced, lower ones start at a meagre 0.20x and the highest ones fail to climb past 10x your bet. 

The silver lining is that wins on multiple lines are paid out and even multiple symbol combinations can stack in the base game. This combined with wild stacks brought up to 8.60x returns at times but it also helped me avoid the lower payouts and bring up the average winning combo above the 1x mark. 

I managed to land three golden vault scatters early on in my session which awarded me 15 free spins with frequent stacked wilds. I saw two stacked wilds on the first two reels which got me a 21x win on its own. The following spins brought the total up to a respectable 47.90x win. The following triggers got me up to 68.10x wins which made the free spins the highlight of my session. 

On the whole, the Velvet Gems slot game by Evoplay shines bright through its features and brings respectable payouts in its bonus game. While the start was shaky to say the least and the lower symbol pays really did not instill confidence in me, I was pleasantly surprised to see the kind of the payouts this entry could bring.
