BGaming · 2023
Gemhalla is a 6x5 video slot from BGaming with Gems, Mythology and Norse themes and high volatility. This page covers its figures, rounds and paytable.
Symbols on the reels form wins without paylines. Eight or more matching symbols pay wherever they land on the grid. The theme mixes gems, mythology and Norse imagery, shown through symbols such as a horn pouch and crossed battle-axes. After each win, the winning symbols clear and new ones drop in, and this refilling repeats until no new win forms.
Four or more Scatter longships anywhere on the grid open a Free Spins round. Three or more Scatters in one spin during that round add extra spins through Retrigger. Multiplier symbols keep their values through the whole round, and each later winning spin receives them. Scatter Pays and Tumble drive the base game.

Gemhalla free spins
You will know how each mode starts, what it costs and how it changes a round.
Four or more Scatter symbols, the Viking longship, anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round with 15 spins. Three or more Scatters in one spin during the round add 5 more spins. Multiplier values build across the round and apply to each later winning spin.

The next spin after the purchase triggers Free Spins so the round starts without waiting for four Scatters. The purchase costs 100x the total bet. Buy Bonus and Chance x2 exclude each other, so one is disabled while the other is active.

Each spin with the toggle switched on doubles your chance to land the Scatter symbol, and the total bet carries a 25% surcharge. Chance x2 is the optional toggle and cannot run at the same time as Buy Bonus. Only trigger odds change, not game content.
Standard betDoubled trigger chance
Symbols land on the 6x5 grid, and 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on screen pay, with no paylines and no ways. After each payout, new symbols drop in to fill the gaps, and this repeats until no more wins form.

Five steps in order
After these steps, you will have followed one full round from bet to stop, with its costs.
Pick a bet between A$0.20 and A$50 before the first spin. The example bets on this page are A$0.40 and A$2, and the Ante Bet adds 25% to whichever bet you choose.
On the 6x5 grid, a win needs eight or more matching symbols anywhere on screen. Winning symbols then clear and new ones drop in, so one spin can produce several wins.
Scatter symbols pay wherever they land, since the game has no paylines. The Ante Bet costs 1.25 times your bet, so A$2 becomes A$2.50.
Four or more Scatter longships anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round with 15 spins. Three or more Scatters in one spin during the round add 5 more spins.
Each spin at the example bet of A$2 costs A$2, or A$2.50 with the Ante Bet. Set your stop point before the first spin and keep to it, however the reels fall.

Per A$100 staked, the return to player is the money paid back over time, while single sessions can land far above or below it. The version in use is shown in the game rules.
| Payout level | RTP | Standard release |
|---|---|---|
| Variant 1 | 97.17% | Yes |
Each spin lands new symbols on the 6x5 grid, and four or more Scatter longships anywhere on screen start the Free Spins round. How often that happens is not known in advance. The RTP describes an average over a large number of spins, so it does not say when the bonus comes. The result of one session is random and can sit above or below that average.
Every payout on the 6x5 grid is set by the RTP version the game runs. That version is shown only in the game rules. Read those rules before you compare this game with another title, because a figure from a different page may describe a different version.
Each cascade drops new symbols onto the 6x5 grid until no more winning combinations form. The maximum win is a ceiling, not an expected result, and it is reached very rarely. A large cascade chain can still end well short of that top figure, so the ceiling says little about a typical session.
Practise before any stake
Decide whether Gemhalla suits a demo session or a real-money account before you bet.
Each demo spin on the 6x5 grid needs no money and pays nothing. Real-money play needs a Winspirit Casino account and players must be 18+.

Gemhalla at a glance
Most players worry about the odds and the top win before the first spin.
Spins on the 6x5 grid pay less often, but a single round can bring a large win. Gemhalla has high volatility, so long stretches without a win are part of the game. No one can tell in advance when a session will pay out.
Every spin on Gemhalla counts toward a long-run return of 97.17% of stakes, and this is the only RTP version of the game. The figure is an average over a very large number of spins, so one session can end far above or far below it.
Winning combinations on the grid can reach x5,000 the total bet, which is A$10,000 at the example bet of A$2. Hitting that top figure cannot be planned, and no session can be predicted.
Each spin in Gemhalla can be set from A$0.20, the lowest bet. Keeping stakes at this level makes every round cheap while you learn the 6x5 grid. The bet can be raised later, once you know how the symbols pay.
Gemhalla is for players aged 18+. Help in Australia is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and the national self-exclusion register is BetStop.
Decide how much you can lose before you start. A long run without wins is possible in this game, so set the budget first.
Pick your stop point before you start spinning. A big win can tempt you to keep going, so the stop point should hold even after a win.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play Gemhalla. These caps keep a losing run within the amount you chose.
Take a break or self-exclude when the game stops being fun. If you feel the urge to chase losses, step away and call the helpline.
