By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 28 May 2026

Developed by Red Tiger Gaming, Gems Gone Wild: Power Reels is the sequel to Red Tiger’s popular title Gems Gone Wild. The new video slot offers you random wilds, locked wilds and mega wilds.Red Tiger Gaming have included 2×2 and 3 x3 wilds in this latest release and instead of starting from the 1^st reel, this time winning combinations can be formed from any adjoining reels.

Slot details

Gems Gone Wild: Power Reels is a medium variance video slot with an RTP of 95.68%. The game is played across 8 reels, 6 rows and 30 paylines and wagering starts from as little as 10p up to £20 per spin. The slot is available to play across all devices.Opening up the game, the reels are set in a star filled galaxy, and symbols include brightly coloured red, orange, blue, pink, purple, turquoise, green and gold gems, the latter is the most lucrative, 8 on a payline awards x75 of your wager.The wild is a gold star, 8 on a payline awards x100 of your wager.

Gameplay

3 matching symbols on any adjacent reels will result in a winning combination.Random wilds could appear on the reels at any time and the Locked Wilds trigger. If further wilds land on the next spin they also lock into position until no more wild symbols land.Super wilds appear during the base game and trigger randomly, this time the Super Wilds are mega-size at 2×2 and 3×3. Locked wilds trigger randomly after traditional wilds land, the new wilds and old combine and lock, hopefully creating additional wins.Gems Gone Wild: Power Reels is an interesting game initially but nothing different from most slots of the same genre. I would have preferred more features to keep up the interest, however, you do have the potential to win x3,000 of your wager with help of the locked wilds and super wilds.
