Jewel Quest
Another new game tonight, this time Jewel Quest. It's in the Casual Game Slots section of the menu in Intercasino. What caught my eye for this game was the preview screen which looked very Indiana Jones and although not titled as such, the game certainly seemed to be based on the Indiana Jones movies.
So what is Jewel Quest? Well its a 5 level treasure hunt where you have to match artifacts to win the prizes on offer. Maybe not a game for those with a budget as each game is £1 a go as a minimum but the graphics and sound effects within the game are stunning for an online casino game and really do the whole theme of the game justice.
It's a great game to play but difficult to describe without someone seeing or actually playing Jewel Quest. I think the quickest way of describing the game is that it's like a cross between Tetris and Bejeweled with a little Cubis thrown in for good measure.
Pay your money and a selection of icons fall down the screen, get 3 or more in a row and they pay out a value, the tiles then all fall down and are replaced at the top, giving more scope to win. If you get a winning combination on any square, then it turns into a gold colour for the remander of your play of if you fill all the squares with gold, you get a bonus and the chance to play the next level of the game. It takes quite a few plays to get up a level though, so bear this in mind when playing Jewel Quest for the first few times.
I ended up losing a fair bit of money, desperately trying to complete the second level with only one square left to turn into gold and this cost me a fair bit. Managed it eventually and making the third level took my money back to when I begun my quest.
Like all the casual slot type games, Jewel Quest is very addictive and you really do want to keep playing and working through all the levels. I've done well so far in my casino playing and so didn't mind losing a bit playing the game and finally made it to the final level, about £25 down, but be warned it could have been a lot worse and this is not a game I'd recommend as a value for money game. Too often the wins are much smaller than your stake and the Jewel Quest game could make your casino playing budget deplete quickly. I played for about 50 minutes and lost £35. I quit then as level 5 was going to take some beating and the rewards weren't going to recoup my loses so I got out before making to big a dent playing the Jewel Quest game.
Jewel Quest is a great game that's stunning to look and very playable at but not one for the savvy casino player looking for value.
