A 6x5 grid carries a Norse and mythology theme full of gems, longships and rune shields. There are no paylines or ways to count. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the screen form a win, and every winning combination pays at once. After each payout, new symbols drop in, and the cascade repeats until no more wins form.
Four Scatter longships anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round with 15 spins. Three or more Scatters landing during that round add 5 more spins. Multiplier values build up across the whole round and apply to each later winning spin. Scatter Pays works by total count, so Scatters pay wherever they land on the grid.

Before a spin
After this gallery you will have seen the bonus, base and free spins screens.
Before the reels turn
Read this before your first spin, to follow each step from bet to payout.
A$0.20 is the smallest bet and A$50 the largest, so one spin can cost a fraction of a dollar or fifty dollars.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid make a win, with no paylines or ways. Cleared symbols make way for new ones, and each new cluster pays too.
The 6x5 grid refills after every win, so one spin can stack several payouts. The Tumble feature drops new symbols in until no more wins form in the base game.
Four or more Scatter longships anywhere on the grid start Free Spins with 15 initial spins. Three Scatters in one spin add five more, and Multiplier values accumulate across the whole round.
A$50 is the top bet, so pick a bet size and a budget before the first spin, and stop when the budget ends.
Demo mode
You will have tried Gemhalla in demo mode before staking real money.
Gemhalla's 6x5 grid opens in demo mode, which needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Kingbet9 and an age of 18+.
Play for money15 free spins start once 4+ Scatter symbols (Viking longship) land anywhere on the 6x5 grid, but how often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random. A 97.17% RTP describes what the game returns over a very long run, not what one visit will return.
97.17% is the single RTP listed for Gemhalla. Which RTP version is live in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, not on the tile or in the list, so open the rules before your first spin.
x5,000 the bet is the maximum win of Gemhalla, which comes to A$250,000 at the A$50 max bet. It is a ceiling, and a win that large is reached very rarely, so no session should be planned around it.
Right before you spin
Kingbet9 puts the bet limits and trigger rules up front, before any deposit.
Gemhalla pays up to 5,000 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$1, that is A$5,000. At the highest bet of A$50, the same multiplier reaches A$250,000.
A$0.20 keeps the opening spins cheap, so a first trial costs little. The paytable on this page shows each symbol's payout in money at A$0.40, which gives a clear view of what a win looks like before you raise the stake.
4 or more Scatter symbols, the Viking longship, anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round. The round opens with 15 spins, and 3 or more Scatters in one spin add 5 more spins.
8 matching symbols is the fewest that pay on the 6x5 grid. The volatility is high, so wins arrive unevenly and results vary widely between sessions.
97.17% is the RTP of Gemhalla, and this slot has one RTP version. Over a very large number of spins the return tends toward that figure, while short sessions can differ widely.
A$0.20 to A$50 is the bet range, with A$0.20 the smallest and A$50 the largest allowed. The tables on this page use A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$1 as examples, and every one of them sits inside that range.
