Axe Casino lists each figure in plain numbers, so you know what it means before a spin.

Symbols land on a 6x5 grid of 30 cells, and a win forms when 8 or more matching symbols appear anywhere on it. No paylines or ways are used. The theme is Arabian, with gems and card suits as symbols. After every win, the tumble feature clears the winning symbols and drops new ones in, with unlimited cascades per spin.
Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid start free spins, with 12 spins plus 2 per scatter beyond the fourth. Three or more scatters during the round add 4 spins plus 2 per extra one. A win reaching 10,000x the bet ends the round and forfeits remaining spins. Buy Free Spins costs 100x the bet and is off while the Ante Bet runs.
The bonus buy costs 100 times the total bet, which comes to A$500 at the example top bet of A$5.

Over a very long run of spins, the reels return a share of every A$100 staked. That share is the return to player (RTP). The version we run is shown in the game rules.

Genie's Gem Bonanza extras
Not knowing how the bonus starts is the worry this section clears up before a spin.
Buy Free Spins starts the Free Spins round at once for 100x your current total bet, with one price tier only. The triggering spin randomly lands 4, 5 or 6 SCATTER symbols. The option is disabled while the ante bet is active. The mode runs at 96.54% RTP.
Base gameFree Spins now
Four or more SCATTER symbols trigger the round with 12 free spins, plus 2 for each scatter beyond the fourth. Three or more scatters retrigger it for 4 extra spins, plus 2 for each scatter beyond the third. Max win caps at 10000x bet, forfeiting any spins left.
Base game spins12 free spins
Symbols land on a fixed grid of 6 reels by 5 rows, 30 cells, and pay anywhere on it with no paylines or ways. After every win the tumble feature clears those symbols and new ones drop in, with unlimited cascades. Its RTP sits at 96.50%.
Ready to spinTumbling wins
Scatter symbols land more often while the ante bet is on, which lifts the natural chance of Free Spins. The bet multiplier moves from 20x to 30x, making the total bet x1.5. The buy option is disabled while this is active. Its RTP is 96.51%.

Know what to expect
Read this before your first bet, when you want to know how a round runs.
Every spin lands on the same 6x5 grid, whatever stake you pick from A$0.20 to A$240. The total bet sets every payout, and A$1 and A$5 are the example stakes here.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid make a win, with no paylines. Each win is followed by a tumble, and the cascades have no limit.
Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round. The optional Ante Bet multiplies the total bet by 1.5 and raises how often scatters land.
The reels start the round when you tap Buy Free Spins, at 100 times the total bet. The triggering spin lands 4, 5 or 6 scatters, giving 12 free spins or more.
The reels keep turning until you stop them, so set your limit before the first spin. Choose the amount you can afford to lose and keep to it.
Game views
Useful when you want to see the screens before you pick a bet size.
Each spin drops a new grid of gems and symbols onto the reels, and nobody can say in advance when four scatters will land together. The bonus round may come on the first spin or after a long dry run. The result of one session is random, and RTP only describes the average across very many spins, not what one visit will return.
Every spin follows the same scatter-pays rules, but the return behind it is set by the RTP version running. Which version runs on this site is shown only in the game rules. Players who want the exact figure for the version in play should check the game rules before the first spin.
Big hits grow with the bet until they reach a fixed top multiple of the stake. That ceiling is reached very rarely, so the maximum win works as a limit to know about, not a figure to expect. A single spin can land well below it, and the bet size you choose sets how far the scale runs.
Know before you bet
Worried about spending money before you know how the rules work?
Spins on the demo reels cost no money and pay nothing. Real money play needs an Axe Casino account and you must be 18 or older.

Know what you get
At Axe Casino, the rules, bets and limits sit on the page before the first spin.
Play starts at the lowest bet of A$0.20 per spin, so a small stake lets you learn the 6x5 grid and the tumble feature before you raise the bet. The rules on this page cover how each round runs.
Genie's Gem Bonanza has three RTP versions: 96.50%, 96.51% and 96.54%. The base game runs at 96.50%, and the two other versions sit on the optional modes. RTP is a long-run average over many spins, so it does not predict one session.
The smallest bet is A$0.20 per spin. The paytable uses A$1 as its reference bet, and A$5 is the top example bet on this page. The highest bet allowed here is A$240, so the largest possible win at that level is A$2,400,000.
The top win is capped at 10,000 times the bet. Reaching that cap ends the round at once, and any free spins still left are forfeited. At the A$5 example bet, the cap is A$50,000.
This slot runs at high volatility. Wins come less often but can be large, so stretches without a big payout are normal for it. Nobody can say in advance when a big win or a bonus will land.
Entry is for players aged 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open the game, and keep that amount set aside. Once it is gone, the session is over.
Pick your stop point before the first spin, and keep to it after a win too.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you start. Changing them mid-session defeats the point.
If the game stops being fun or you start chasing losses, step away and take a break. Do not come back to it the same day.
