Ancient Temple Multiplier Wheel
Fortune Gems 500 breaks conventional slot design with its 4-reel configuration where the fourth reel operates as a dedicated multiplier wheel. Unlike traditional slots that apply multipliers occasionally, this TaDa Gaming release applies a multiplier value to every single win through the special reel mechanism.
The multiplier reel displays values from 1x up to a staggering 500x, with 11 distinct multiplier tiers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, and 500x. The payout calculation formula divides your line win by the multiplier wheel result divided by 5, creating a dynamic variance system where even modest symbol combinations can deliver substantial wins when aligned with high multipliers.
The temple-themed visual design features sunset-lit ancient ruins with golden architectural elements, creating an atmosphere that matches the premium nature of the gem symbols. The stone frame housing the reels includes decorative columns in brown and gold, whilst tropical vegetation flanks the playing area.
The Ex NUDGE symbol appears on the fourth reel as a purple-pink gradient rectangle with golden framing. When it lands, it displays a number (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, or 50) indicating how many times it will grab multiplier values from the wheel. The feature executes multiple spins of the multiplier reel, collecting each value, then multiplies all grabbed values together for potentially astronomical wins.
The golden mask with wings and red gems substitutes for all symbols across every reel. Landing 3 Wild symbols pays 5x your bet, making it the highest-paying symbol in the base game.
Red circular gem (4x for 3), blue octagonal gem (3x for 3), and green hexagonal gem (2.4x for 3). Each gem features distinct geometric shapes to aid colour-blind players in symbol identification.
Beige textured card symbols with gem accents: Ace with red gem (2x), King with purple gem (1.6x), Queen with blue gem (1x), Jack with green gem (0.4x).
Low volatility (1/5) with the multiplier wheel providing variance. Frequent smaller wins with occasional massive multiplier hits.
Costs 1.5x your base bet but removes the 1x multiplier from the wheel, guaranteeing minimum 2x multiplier on every spin. Remaining multipliers: 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 500x.
Costs 8x your base bet and removes all multipliers below 10x, guaranteeing 10x or higher. Only 7 multiplier values remain: 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 500x.

Fortune Gems 500 operates on a left-to-right winning direction across its 5 fixed paylines. The payout calculation differs between standard and Extra Bet modes. In normal play, your line win is multiplied by the special reel result divided by 5. This mathematical structure means a 500x multiplier doesn't simply multiply your win by 500, but rather by 100 (500/5).
The Ex NUDGE feature fundamentally changes win potential. When it lands showing "10", it will spin the multiplier wheel 10 times, collecting values like 5x, 20x, 3x, 100x, etc., then multiply them together. A sequence of 5x × 20x × 100x would create a 10,000x multiplier before applying to your line win.
Extra Bet Mode selection requires strategic thinking. The 1.5x cost option suits players wanting consistent multiplier boosts without excessive risk, removing only the 1x value. The 8x cost option targets high-rollers chasing maximum multipliers, but increases volatility substantially by limiting the wheel to just 7 high-value multipliers.
The slot includes Turbo and Super Turbo modes (single and double lightning bolt icons) for accelerated gameplay. Super Turbo activates via double-tapping the turbo button, delivering maximum speed spins ideal for Extra Bet Mode sessions where you're hunting specific multiplier combinations.
TaDa Gaming implemented comprehensive colour-blind support by assigning distinct geometric shapes to each gem: circular for red, octagonal for blue, and hexagonal for green. The multiplier wheel displays numbers clearly, ensuring all players can identify values regardless of visual perception differences.
The game features keyboard controls with spacebar activation for spins and tab navigation between interface elements. Screen reader support includes detailed symbol descriptions and clear button function labels.
Responsible gambling features include autoplay stop conditions: single win exceeds specified multiplier, balance drops below set value, balance exceeds target, bonus game activation, or free game trigger. The interface displays real-time balance updates and transaction IDs during play for complete transparency.
In case of disconnection, any bet result remains valid if the outcome cannot be influenced. Malfunctions void all pays and automatically complete any active feature games, protecting player interests.
