Gems of the Night Slots
Gems of the Night is a mysterious and attractive slot game from Merkur featuring precious gems and graceful cats. The black and white feline characters offer an interesting addition to the game which is themed primarily around the diamonds and jewellery on the reels.
This 10-reel game has a dark purple colour scheme to add to the mystery and charm, while there are wild symbols, scatters, free games and 2 gamble games for plenty of ways to win. This simple game has an intriguing atmosphere and will entice players to jump into the darkness to seek the gems of the night.

To alter your bet per payline, you can do a similar action with the buttons below to chance your bet from €0.01 to €2.00 per payline.
Other options to improve your gameplay include an autoplay button that allows you to play up to 100 spins automatically, along with an info button that opens up the game rules, and a paytable button where you can study the symbols and their payouts.
The background to the slot is a dark purple night scene with a brick wall, night sky, stars and palm trees at the sides of the screen. The buildings in the background have their lights on in the windows to give players an eerie feel of being outside in the darkness.
The symbols include a large blue-shining diamond, an elegant black cat and a graceful white cat (both standing in front of a full moon), a large green cat’s eye, a gold ring with a purple stone, and a silver necklace with a large maroon star pendant. There are also the usual high cards to award the lower payouts.
The whole atmosphere in Gems of the Night is mysterious, with the cats, full moon and night time scene creating a world of intrigue.
Purrfect Payouts
The large glitzy diamond is the best-paying symbol in the game, awarding up to 4000x your bet for 5 symbols together on the reels. This is also the wild icon, so it stands in for all the other symbols except the scatter to create more potential wins. The second-best symbol in the game is the cat’s eye scatter which awards up to 2000x your bet for 5 symbols – plus, this can also activate the free spins round.
The next symbols to watch out for are the black cat and the white cat, which both award up to 1000x your bet for 5 symbols. Further down the paytable are the gold ring and the silver necklace, which both award up to 500x your bet for 5 matching symbols. Finally, the Ace and King high cards pay up to 300x your bet and the Queen, Jack and 10 high cards pay up to 200x your bet for 5 symbols.
Free Spins From the Green Cat’s Eye
If you hit 3 or more of the green cat’s eye scatter symbols, you trigger the free spins round. During this round you can enjoy 15 free games along with a multiplier of up to 9x on all payouts. If you spin the maximum number of scatters to trigger this round you have the chance to boost your bankroll massively from the multipliers, so keep your eyes peeled for the big green eye.
Pleasant Gaming From the Mysterious Felines
Gems of the Night is an interesting game thanks to the strange and intriguing combination of the elegant cats and the precious gems and jewellery. The feeling is opulent and the background adds to the elegant eeriness. The symbols have a cute animation when they form part of a winning line, however this slot could have been so much better with some atmospheric music and complex sound effects.
We did not do particularly well on this slot game and the lack of features and bonus game means players will be hard pressed to boost their bankrolls here unless they hit the highest multipliers on the free spins round.
The interesting theme with the cool cat characters makes Gems of the Night a pleasant slot to play, but the lack of extra features means we probably won’t be returning.
