Extra Gems

Extra Gems adds a seventh horizontal reel across the top of a six-column grid, and that extra reel is the mechanic. When any vertical symbol matches the one above it on the horizontal reel, it splits in two, dynamically expanding the ways to win from 2,304 up to 21,609 on a single spin. Platipus layers cascading wins and a compounding multiplier on top, producing a gem-and-card-suit slot with 95.01% RTP, a 5,005x max win, and three bonus buy tiers. Available at Wild.io on desktop and mobile.

What is Extra Gems?

Extra Gems is a 7-reel video slot from Platipus with 95.01% RTP and a top win of 5,005x your bet. The ExtraWays mechanic uses a top horizontal reel alongside six vertical reels: when a vertical symbol matches the one directly above it on the horizontal reel, it splits into two, expanding the ways to win dynamically from 2,304 to a maximum of 21,609.

Cascading wins remove winning symbols and replace them with new ones, and each consecutive cascade increases a win multiplier by 1x. During Free Spins, that multiplier never resets between spins, allowing it to compound across the entire bonus. Three Blue Diamond Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins, and a bonus buy offers three entry tiers at 50x, 150x, or 250x the bet.

How To Play Extra Gems Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing Extra Gems.

1. Open Extra Gems at Wild.io, the game grid shows six vertical reels with a seventh horizontal reel running across the top
2. On each spin, check whether any vertical symbol matches the symbol above it on the horizontal reel; a match causes that symbol to split and expand the ways to win
3. Winning combinations trigger cascades: winning symbols disappear and new ones fall in, with each cascade increasing the win multiplier by 1x
4. Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 Blue Diamond Scatters to trigger 9, 15, 21, or 27 Free Spins; additional Scatters during free spins add 2 bonus spins each
5. During Free Spins, the win multiplier never resets between spins, whatever multiplier builds from cascades carries directly into the next free spin
6. Use one of three Buy Bonus tiers (50x, 150x, or 250x bet) to enter Free Spins directly with 9, 15, or 21+ starting spins

Extra Gems Slot Theme & Graphics

Extra Gems uses a clean, jeweller's-case aesthetic: coloured gem symbols in pink, purple, red, and orange sit against a dark backdrop that makes their faceted surfaces stand out clearly. The card suits occupy the lower tier in a metallic silver finish. The top horizontal reel is framed separately in gold to signal its mechanic importance, giving the overall layout a distinctive look compared to conventional reel grids.

The visual design prioritises legibility: each gem colour is distinct, the split-symbol animation is immediate and clear, and the cascade drops track smoothly even at the maximum 21,609 ways-to-win configuration. Platipus built the HTML5 game to scale across screen sizes without truncating the horizontal reel, which is the mechanic centrepiece. Audio uses a crystalline, chiming sound design with each gem match triggering a distinct pitch.

Extra Gems Slot Symbols & Paytables

Extra Gems runs up to 21,609 ways to win across its 7-reel structure. The paytable has a card-suit lower tier, a coloured gem premium tier, and two special symbols: the gold mask Wild and the Blue Diamond Scatter.

Special Symbols

The gold mask Wild appears only on the top horizontal reel. It substitutes for all symbols and, when it sits above a vertical reel position, it causes all symbols on that vertical reel to split automatically, regardless of symbol match. The Blue Diamond is the Scatter: land 3, 4, 5, or 6 anywhere to trigger 9, 15, 21, or 27 Free Spins. Each Scatter during Free Spins adds 2 bonus spins.

Extra Gems Bonus Feature & Special Features

ExtraWays Mechanic

The ExtraWays mechanic is what makes Extra Gems structurally different from other cascading-win slots. Six vertical reels sit below a seventh horizontal reel that runs across the top of the grid. On every spin, the game checks each vertical reel position against the symbol on the horizontal reel directly above it. When they match, the vertical symbol splits into two, creating an additional symbol in that position. This split expands the ways-to-win calculation for that reel from its base count upward. The gold mask Wild on the horizontal reel auto-splits all symbols on the vertical reel below it regardless of match, providing a guaranteed expansion mechanic. At maximum splits across all positions, the grid reaches 21,609 ways to win, compared to the 2,304 base state.

Cascading Wins with Win Multiplier

Winning symbol combinations disappear from the grid and new symbols fall in from above, a standard cascading mechanic. The key addition in Extra Gems is the win multiplier that occupies the top corner of the reels. Each consecutive cascade win increments the multiplier by 1x. The first cascade adds 1x to wins, the second adds another, and so on. Between base-game spins, the multiplier resets to zero. During Free Spins, however, the multiplier never resets between spins: whatever multiplier accumulates during one free spin carries directly into the next. This makes late-sequence Free Spins significantly more valuable than early ones, and drives the 5,005x max win potential.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Blue Diamond Scatter symbols triggers 9, 15, 21, or 27 free spins respectively. The win multiplier does not reset during Free Spins, it persists and accumulates across the full spin sequence. Additional Scatter symbols landing during Free Spins each add 2 bonus spins, extending the feature. The combination of non-resetting multiplier and ExtraWays split potential means Free Spins are the primary driver of the 5,005x maximum outcome.

Buy Bonus

Three bonus buy options provide direct Free Spins access: 50x the bet (9+ starting spins), 150x the bet (15+ starting spins), or 250x the bet (21+ starting spins). The higher the buy tier, the more starting spins and the higher the initial ExtraWays potential. All three tiers include the non-resetting multiplier feature and the full Scatter retrigger mechanic.
