Elemental Gems Megaways slot

Elemental Gems Megaways slot by Pragmatic Play is basic to say the least. A plain Chinese-style blue background with a few twisting dragons, soft music and ornate oriental symbols are what we get. There are only 3 reels, nothing new as a few so-called 3-reel Megaways have been released before. StakeLogic's Super Joker Megaways was one of the first, we also saw Relax Gaming's Joker Megaways slot and I suppose you can count Reel Time's Infinity Reels mechanic also used by Relax on Thor Infinity Reels slot, as these start off with 3 reels. So will it be elementary to increase our bankroll here or not?

On the reels...
You have 3 reels of 2-8 rows each on Elemental Gems Megaways slot so 8-512 ways to win. Symbols can appear stacked with single Wild Pagodas also featuring. Those are the best pay at 2.5x bet for 3-of-a-kind and you simply have 5 more coloured object tiles of yellow, purple, green, red and blue paying 1 down to 0.1x for 3OAK. No scatters here but there is a fourth reel which also spins when you play and will land on a multiplier value of 1-100x. You get this applied to any wins you land. That's it, no free spins, replacement tumbles or mystery tiles.

Our View...
Elemental Gems Megaways slot has a 96.51% RTP which is the best thing about it. I meant what I said when saying it was basic, I suppose it's meant to be the Megaways equivalent of a simple 3-reel Vegas-style slot machine and to that end it doesn't work either. Plain to view, listen to and with low-medium variance I'm not sure what the point of this slot actually is. Your decision to avoid this game will be elementary thinking...
