Gronk's Gems Review
There's a misconception that cave trolls happen to be quite evil but that is not the case. With Gronk's Gems, you'll meet the beefy but friendly Gronk that loves to collect gems. If you play your cards right, you might even be able to get a piece of the action!
Like most Hacksaw Gaming slots, this one plays on a grid and contains multiple bonus rounds paired with multipliers. This with stunning visuals and respectable wins makes Gronk's Gems another hit slot in the making from the talented slot developer.
Design
As soon as the game loads, you know instantly it's one of Hacksaw Gaming's higher productions. In the background, there is a glowing cave with a troll named Gronk at the front of the reels. He is animated throughout the slot and looks like a character from World of Warcraft. He is covered in gems whilst looking both grotesque and cute at the same time which is strange to see.
Matching with the gem theme, all the symbols on the reels are different versions of gems or precious rocks. The lower-paying symbols are ones that have not been formed yet, whilst the higher-paying symbols are magnificent gems.
However, it's worth saying that this slot would be nothing without the audio. There are ambient noises of the forest with sounds from birds and insects, as well as noises from Gronk himself. As for the music, there is a whimsical score which feels like something you'd hear in a game like World of Warcraft.
Gameplay
It wouldn't be a Hacksaw Gaming slot without multiple bonus rounds. This one only contains two but it has a typical free spin round and a bonus round with multipliers. There is no mention of a limit on multipliers but these increase whenever winning symbols are removed.
Another amazing feature in this slot is the epic gem which can randomly trigger after cascades. When this occurs, the epic gem activates to charge up other symbols to deliver a win. After this, the symbols explode leading to another cascade.
Win Potential
Gronk's Gems contains a pretty steady win potential starting with an RTP of 96.24%. We recommend playing a slot with an RTP of 96% and above, so this is way over this standard which will delight players.
This medium volatility slot also has a decent maximum win of 7,500x the stake. This is quite a grand amount that can be achieved through the bonus rounds. Whilst this may not be as high as slots such as Money Train 3 or Dead or Alive 2, it's still large enough to deliver some satisfying wins.
Our Verdict
This will not go down as the greatest slot ever created, but it's pretty darn good! Gronk's Gems is one of the best-looking Hacksaw Gaming slots in a long time and delivers a story as well as incredible gameplay. It's made even better by the incredible gameplay and decent win potential.
Hacksaw Gaming has the amazing ability to create something simple but fantastic at the same time. If you want something straightforward but absolutely magical, then look no further than Gronk's Gems.
