Jewel of the Arts Slot Machine

With this particular game, the focus is on the arts, so if you’ve secretly always wanted to learn the ancient skill of folding origami or writing calligraphy, now is your chance! Launch Jewel of the Arts by IGT and marvel the Japanese imagery on display. From geisha girls to mighty warriors as cultural representatives, it’s hard to stay immune to the Japanese creative arts and crafts.

The background shows trademark cherry blossoms; the colour purple dominates the reels. The icons stretch from playing card symbols written in the style of Japanese calligraphy to high value objects and characters, namely an origami swan, a fan, an artist and a samurai warrior in full armour. The dressed-up geisha is the Wild card. There are no conventional Scatters, but there is a bonus symbol. You can’t miss it - ‘Fan Dance Bonus’ is written all over it. The highest paying icon, however, is Jewel of the Arts logo.

IGT’s Jewel of the Arts slot machine offers 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paying lines which aren’t fixed. You can adjust the number of paying lines by using corresponding arrows below the reels. Other features include line bet size adjustment and the Autospin button. For a more enjoyable experience, we recommend you keep the background music turned on; Jewel of the Arts not only looks good, but sounds good as well. Make combos of identical symbols and you’ll win decent amounts.

The action starts with a Fan Dance Multiplier, a minor bonus feature incorporated in Jewel of the Arts slot. It gets triggered by two of the Fan Dance symbols landing anywhere on the three reels in the middle. You will receive a 2x multiplier on the win. The main special feature is the Fan Dance Bonus, a lucrative free spins round. IGT sure loves those free spins!

You’ll need to land at least 3 Fan Dance symbols on the centre reels to activate the free spins round which starts with 3 extra spins. On the first free spin, reel 2 will turn completely Wild. On the second spin, both reel 2 and reel 3 will be Wild. And on the third and final spin, all three centre reels will become Wild. Another special symbol gets introduced during the round, an Extra Spin symbol. Land one of those during free spins and you’ll be awarded with another gratis spin. The Wild reels will remain static during an extra re-spin.

Like most IGT slots, Jewel of the Arts features a return rate from 92.97% to 96.08%. That’s an acceptable RTP range for a solid video slot machine you can play for 0.01 – 100 per spin. IGT is quite picky when it comes to assigning a progressive jackpot to a slot.

Jewel of the Arts doesn’t have one, but it does offer 1,000 coins for 5 of the logo symbols in the base game. Since the Scatter isn’t affected by paying lines you can reduce the number of active lines to save some cash and still be able to activate the main bonus feature, aka awesome free spins. Jewel of the Arts is a delightful slot; not one that will sweep you off your feet, but entertaining and profitable enough to make you come back for more lessons in Asian art.
