Dwarves are known in the fantasy world for their raw power and love of Gold. So having Dwarves mine your gold for you makes perfect sense, as they will work tirelessly and do whatever it takes to find the thing that they desire the most. Iron Dog Studios has given us every chance of success by incorporating Megaways into the gameplay and adding several features along the way to help dig up some big payouts.
Dwarven Gems Megaways brings us the fascinating mechanic of a Megaways reel set which alters in size, that at its grandest, can bring over 200,000 ways to win! On top of that, literally, is a Horizontal Reel that can combine with the reels below to bring even more wins. In true Dwarf fashion, these Dwarves have come well prepared, and have brought plenty of backup with them. As they search for the precious green scatter treasure that will lead to the golden free spins, the Dwarves have sticks of Dynamite and Bags of Coins to help on their quest, but it is the legendary Power Gem buried in the free spins feature that will bring the biggest rewards.
Iron Dog Studio is becoming very well known for its quality Megaways titles, after such successes as Rainbow Wilds Megaways and Astro Newts Megaways, but it is also epic animations that we look for, and Dwarven Gems Megaways carries on in the same fashion as the vibrant displays found in Robbin’ Robin and Blirix Workshop.

Dwarven Gems Megaways Gameplay & Features – Unearth Green Treasures to Unlock Free Spins
Iron Dog Studio has packed this video slot with lots of different features that will help to bring big and smaller wins. This title has 6 reels that can hold between 2-7 rows on any spin. A win will begin from the leftmost reel, and when a win does occur, the participating symbols will explode off the reel set, causing the other symbols to tumble down, and randomly selected new symbols will enter from the top.
The Horizontal Reel can combine with other reels to form winning combinations too.
The free spins are where the biggest rewards can be won, and to get there you must either land 4 scatters during the base game, or use the ‘buy feature’ tool for an additional cost. The buy feature comes with an RTP of 96.50%, which is lower than the base game 96.70%, however, the base game offers a max payout of 20,000x your stake, compared to the 30,000x that is up for grabs when choosing the ‘buy feature’.
All Features on Iron Dog Studio’s, Dwarven Gems Megaways
Very high volatility is what Iron Dog Studio promises when playing this title. With so many features involved, there are plenty of ways to build up your balance, but it is the free spins where you will find the biggest wins.
Here are all the features you can look forward to in Dwarven Gems Megaways:

- Bag of Coins Wild: These Wilds can substitute for all non-special symbols.
- Dwarf Bomb: Appearing only on the Horizontal Reel, this symbol behaves as a Sticky Wild and can substitute for all non-special symbols. Once there are no more winning combinations, the Dwarf Bomb will explode along with one symbol from each real to make more winning opportunities.
- Power Gem: Can only be landed in the free spins feature and in the Horizontal Reel. It will behave as a Wild and substitute for all non-special symbols. It will also add between 2-4 Wild symbols between rows 2-4. If 2 Power Gems are landed, between 4-8 Wilds will be added between reels 2-5. 2 additional free spins are awarded per Power Gem.
- Multiplier: During Free Spins, a multiplier will build after each winning set. The multiplier will not reset until the end of the feature.
- Buy Feature: The free spins feature can be bought for a range of prices. Pay 200x the bet for a random number of free spins between 6-11. 45x for 7 free spins. 150x for 9 free spins. 300x for 11 free spins. 400x for 15 free spins +Bonus Upgrader. 500x for 20 free spins +Bonus Upgrader.
- Bonus Upgrader: This increases the likelihood of landing Power Gems and Dwarf Bombs.
- Luck Last Spin: If you win on the last free spin, you will be awarded an additional free spin. If you win with that spin, you will be awarded another free spin. This can happen multiple times until no win is possible.
Symbols & Payouts
Dwarven Gems has 11 paying symbols, with most requiring a minimum winning combination of 3, except for the Iron Helmet Dwarf which requires just 2. The maximum combination for all symbols is 6. Wins are calculated by counting the number of consecutive reels starting with the leftmost, and then multiplying the relative multiplier shown in the paytable; by the product of the number of matching symbols on each reel, and then divide by 10 to get the total win value.
| Symbol | Payout |
|---|---|
| Iron Helmet Dwarf | Min 10 / Max 50 |
| Golden Helmet Dwarf | Min 15 / Max 40 |
| 2 Sticks of Dynamite Dwarf | Min 10 / Max 30 |

| Golden Hammer | Min 5 / Max 12 |
| Green Lamp | Min 5 / Max 12 |
| A symbol | Min 3 / Max 6 |
| K symbol | Min 2 / Max 5 |

Free Spins Bonus Feature
Landing 4 Green Gem Scatter symbols, or using the ‘Buy Feature’, will trigger the free spins. Between 6-11 free spin are awarded randomly through the base game, with the ‘Buy Feature’ having several buy options available (see details on the features list).
This round is where the power of the Horizontal Reel comes into play. It can hold a few special symbols, like the Dwarf Bomb, and the Power Gem. This reel also holds non-special symbols that can link up with the reels below to form winning combinations.
On landing a Power Gem, you will be awarded a random number of Wilds to add to the reel set, and also will be given +2 free spins. Landing 2 Power Gems at the same time will see between 4-8 Wilds added, and +4 free spins given.
If you are lucky enough to win on your last free spin, the Dwarves will reward you with +1 free spin. If you win with this one, the Dwarves give you another +1. This can happen unlimited times.
