The first three reels operate as traditional slot columns, featuring a complete symbol set: WILD masks with red gems, high-value coloured gems (red circular, blue octagonal, green hexagonal), and card symbols A-K-Q-J with gem accents on beige textured backgrounds.
The special fourth reel contains only multiplier values displayed in golden circles. Every single spin generates a multiplier result that applies to your winning combinations.
Purple-pink gradient rectangles with golden frames appear on the multiplier wheel showing white numbers (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, or 50). When Ex NUDGE lands, it grabs that many multipliers from the wheel and multiplies all grabbed values together.
Unlike standard slots where you either win or lose, Fortune Gems 500 applies a multiplier wheel result to every single spin. When you land three matching symbols on any of the five paylines, the base payout gets multiplied by whatever value appeared on the fourth reel. This means a 4x base win for three red gems can become 2,000x if the multiplier wheel shows 500x.
The payout calculation follows this formula: (Symbol Payout × Multiplier Wheel Result) ÷ 5. The division by five accounts for the five active paylines. For instance, three WILD symbols pay 5x base. If the multiplier wheel shows 100x, your actual win becomes (5 × 100) ÷ 5 = 100x your bet.
The low volatility rating with one active chili pepper indicates frequent smaller wins rather than rare massive payouts. However, the 12,500x maximum win potential proves substantial wins remain achievable. TaDa Gaming guarantees the maximum win occurs at least once per 100,000,000 rounds, providing mathematical certainty about the top payout accessibility.
Ex NUDGE transforms the multiplier wheel into a multiplication engine. When Ex NUDGE appears showing the number 7, it grabs seven multiplier values from the wheel and multiplies them together. If those seven values are 2x, 3x, 5x, 2x, 3x, 2x, and 5x, the result becomes 2×3×5×2×3×2×5 = 1,800x. This mechanic creates the pathway to the 500x maximum multiplier and beyond when combined with base symbol payouts.
Golden mask with wings and red gems, displays 'WILD' in red letters. Substitutes for all symbols across all reels. Three WILD symbols deliver 5x base payout before multiplier wheel application.
Circular gem with pink gradient enclosed in golden square frame. Highest paying gem symbol at 4x for three matches.
Octagonal blue gem in golden frame. Second-tier premium symbol paying 3x for three matches.
Hexagonal green gem in golden frame. Third premium symbol delivering 2.4x for three matches.
Letter A on beige textured background with red gem accent inside the letter. Highest card symbol at 2x.
Letter K with purple gem accent on beige background. Pays 1.6x for three matches.
Letter Q with blue gem accent on beige background. Returns your bet at 1x for three matches.
Letter J with green gem accent on beige background. Lowest paying symbol at 0.4x for three matches.
The fourth reel displays these multiplier values in golden circles. Every spin produces one multiplier result that applies to all winning paylines on that spin.
Extra Bet mode removes low multipliers from the fourth reel, guaranteeing higher minimum multiplier values. Activate via the 'EX' button with yellow background in the bottom left corner.
Strategic Consideration:
The 8x Extra Bet option guarantees every spin produces at least 10x multiplier on the fourth reel. Combined with three WILD symbols (5x base payout), the minimum win becomes (5 × 10) ÷ 5 = 10x your base bet. However, your actual stake is 8x higher, so this represents 1.25x your total wager. The 500x maximum multiplier remains accessible in both Extra Bet modes.
Fortune Gems 500 uses five fixed paylines across the 3x3 grid formed by the first three reels. Line 1 runs horizontally across the middle row (positions 2-2-2). Line 2 crosses the top row (positions 1-1-1). Line 3 follows the bottom row (positions 3-3-3). These three horizontal lines account for straightforward wins.
Line 4 creates a V shape starting top-left, dropping to bottom-middle, then rising to top-right (pattern 1-3-1). Line 5 forms an inverted V starting bottom-left, rising to top-middle, then dropping to bottom-right (pattern 3-1-3). During winning spins, green bars and diagonal indicators highlight which paylines produced wins.
Only the highest win on each individual payline receives payout. If Line 1 shows three red gems (4x) and three Aces (2x) simultaneously through different symbol positions, only the 4x red gem win counts for that payline. All five paylines evaluate independently, so you can win on multiple lines in a single spin. The multiplier wheel result then applies to the sum of all winning paylines.
Fortune Gems 500 displays three distinct win celebration tiers based on payout size. BIG WIN appears with green to yellow gradient text, golden wings on both sides, and coins falling across the screen. MEGA WIN uses blue 3D letters with golden coins featuring dollar signs flying across the display. SUPER WIN presents red text with golden glow effects and multiple coins cascading throughout the entire screen.
The stone arch frame with decorative columns from the loading screen reappears during major wins, displaying your multiplier achievement. The circular ornament with multicoloured gems provides visual feedback about the win magnitude. These animations pause gameplay briefly to emphasise significant payouts before returning to the main game screen.
Fortune Gems 500 includes autoplay functionality with comprehensive stop conditions: halt when single win exceeds specified multiplier, when balance drops below set value, when balance exceeds set value, or when bonus features activate. Turbo and Super Turbo modes accelerate reel spin speed via single and double lightning bolt icons. Game interruptions due to malfunction void all pays and plays, whilst disconnections preserve bet results if outcomes cannot be influenced. Set deposit limits and play duration boundaries appropriate for your entertainment budget.
