Choose Gemhalla if you like a slot that plays across the 6x5 grid of Gems, Mythology and Norse symbols. Nothing pays along fixed lines here. Instead, a win forms when at least 8 matching symbols land anywhere on the screen, counted by their total number, not their position. Once a win pays, its symbols clear and new ones drop in to check for more wins. This cascade repeats until no more wins form.
Pick Gemhalla if you want a bonus round that grows stronger as it runs. Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins, and Retrigger adds more spins while the round runs. Multiplier values add up across the whole round and apply to each later winning spin. Scatter Pays means Scatters count toward wins as well as triggering the bonus.

Removes the worry of not knowing what the game looks like before a bet.
Mode guide
By the end you will know how each round starts and what it adds.
Land 4+ Viking longship Scatters anywhere on the grid to start Free Spins. The round starts with 15 spins. Each spin with 3+ Scatters adds 5 more spins. Multiplier symbol values build across the whole round and apply to each later winning spin.
Base game spins15 free spins
Choose Buy Bonus to purchase the Free Spins round for 100x the total bet. The next spin after the purchase triggers Free Spins. Buy Bonus and Chance x2 are mutually exclusive, so Chance x2 is disabled while Buy Bonus is active.
Ready to buyInstant Free Spins
Switch on Chance x2 to double your chance of hitting the Scatter. It adds a 25% surcharge to the total bet. Chance x2 and Buy Bonus cannot be active together. The RTP stays at 97.17%, and only the trigger odds change, not the game content.
Before the spinDouble Scatter odds
Pick a bet and spin the 6x5 grid. Wins come from the total count of one symbol anywhere on screen, with no paylines or ways. Refilling cascades, paying every winning combination and dropping new symbols in until no more wins form.

Play sequence
Open this when you have picked a bet and want the order of a round.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$50 before the first spin. A$0.40, A$2 and A$5 are the example bets on this page, and every win scales with the bet you choose.
Look for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid, since no paylines apply. Winning symbols clear, new ones drop in, and wins repeat until none form.
Follow each Tumble cascade as winning symbols clear and new ones drop in. Scatter Pays and Multiplier symbols are part of the same base game, so note them on every spin.
Spin until four or more Scatters, the Viking longship, land on the grid. The round opens with 15 spins, and three or more Scatters in one spin add 5 more spins.
Set a spending limit before the first spin, then stop once you reach it. An A$50 bet costs far more per spin than A$0.20, so the same balance covers fewer spins.
Deciding whether to chase the Free Spins round starts with one plain fact: how often it comes is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so one session can bring the Viking longship early, late or not at all. Whatever the RTP, the result of one session stays random because the RTP only describes long-run returns.
Choosing where to play starts with the game rules, because the RTP version we run is shown only there. Read the game rules before your first spin and check which version is listed for Gemhalla. No summary on this page replaces them, so treat the rules as the final word on returns.
Deciding how much weight to give the top prize starts with knowing what it is. The maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely, not a target a session works toward. Treat it as the top of the paytable, not a figure your session will approach.
The legal age is 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before your first spin, and treat that amount as the most you will spend in one sitting.
Decide your stopping point before you play, and keep to it even after a big win.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account to cap how much money you can put in and lose.
When the game stops being fun, take a break, and if the urge to keep playing stays, self-exclude.

Gemhalla in plain terms
Read these short answers when you want the key facts before the first spin.
Watch for four or more Viking longship Scatters anywhere on the grid to start Free Spins with 15 spins. If three or more Scatters land in one spin during the round, you get 5 more spins. Multiplier values build across the round and apply to each later winning spin.
Read the RTP of 97.17% as a long-run figure, since a single session can end well above or below it. Gemhalla has one RTP version, so there is no other return to choose between.
Read the rules of Gemhalla first, so you know how a round runs before you stake any money. Set the stake at A$0.20, the minimum bet, to keep early spins small.
Keep the ceiling in mind: the maximum win is x5,000 of your bet. At the highest bet of A$50, that ceiling reads A$250,000. No one can know in advance whether a round will reach that figure.
Plan for high volatility, which means winning spins can be scarce and the larger wins come unevenly. Your balance can swing sharply up and down, so size each stake to what you can afford to lose.
Choose a stake between A$0.20, the minimum, and A$50, the highest bet allowed. The examples used on this page are A$0.40, A$2 and A$5, so you can compare the figures at familiar sizes.
