Rapid Gems: Follow the Eagle to a 2,000x Max Win

In Rapid Gems, JILI.US sends a star-spangled eagle over a nighttime New York skyline. The bird spends the session over the five-by-three grid, showing you its country. Under its wings are jewel jackpots up to 1,000x, up to 50 retriggering free spins, and a 2,000x max win.

The base game was Route 66 with the cruise control on, paying 0.3x to 1.8x my bet every three to six spins.

Super Jewel was the bonus I saw most, five times across the session, which is generous for a feature with a jackpot attached. Three or more of the slot-machine symbols open it, and inside, the jewels replace everything and multiply any line they join by 2x, 3x, or 5x, the gold one all three. Three matching jewels take the jackpot, from 10x for diamonds to 1,000x for golds. Mine paid between 16.5x and 74x.

You need three to five eagles for 10, 20, or 50 spins, and more eagles inside keep stacking on, two bringing 5 and five bringing 50, over and over. 

Reach the Free Game for the 10th time in one sitting and Super Bonus Mode opens, where Rapid Gems appear far more often. Buying in doesn't count toward that tenth trip though.

I opened on 10 spins, picked up 5 more from two eagles, and finished at 36.7x my bet. Against the 33x I paid, that's close enough to nothing. I saw how it works, but I wouldn't buy again.

The third bonus is the one I never touched. Paylines don't matter here, since it just counts Rapid Gems symbols anywhere on the screen: five pay a flat 10x, climbing through 20x, 50x and 200x to 1,000x once nine land together. Five doesn't sound like much until a hundred spins hand you two at a time, and I stopped believing in it.

Overall, JILI made a slot with three bonuses, and the point is fighting your way to as many as possible. Based on my session, Super Jewel won't be hard to get your hands on, but the other two are much tougher.
