Return to the world of Gemix to seek priceless gemstones
Play’n GO invites fans to return to this glorious kingdom to stake their claim on spectacular stones in Gemix 100.
Here, players will find an abundance of sparkling gemstones across the land, just ripe for the taking. Venturing across the kingdom, they’ll find themselves coming across vast mines where the Miner and his friends excavate these precious gems; the Princess’ Kingdom where she oversees the realm with care, and the Wizard’s home where he conducts his valuable research on the magnificent minerals of the land.
During the base game, players will hit spin on a 7×7 grid filled with gems. Wins are created by creating clusters of symbols that link both vertically and horizontally. These wins fill the Crystal Charge Meter which will unleash special effects across the grid when reaching certain levels to enhance wins.
Players will also see the Pattern Clear feature in action as winning clusters occur above the pattern in the background. Once cleared, a new level will unlock, changing to a new location in the Gemix kingdom complete with a brand-new bonus effect that can trigger based on which character’s domain they enter.
Fans of Gemix (2014) and Gemix 2 (2021) will be thrilled by returning features as well as the various departures from other titles. One feature in particular for Gemix 100 relates to the number 100 in the title. This isn’t just a number, and in fact refers to the increased cap on the game’s multiplier where players can now earn 100x of their win values!
Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, George Olekszy, said: “Our Gemix series is incredibly popular and being able to create a new entry, as well as one for the 100 series, too, is something we’re very proud of. The Gemix games are very dear to us, not just because of their popularity but because Gemix was actually one of our first ever grid slots! We’re excited for players to see the next iteration with Gemix 100.”
With its fresh new features, while retaining what makes the Gemix games such an iconic series in the world of iGaming, Gemix 100 is sure to thrill players, both new and old alike.

Last fall, the Arizona Boxing & MMA Commission was recognized as “Commission of the Year” at the North American Boxing Federation Awards Banquet for its regulatory efforts.

We thank him for his years of leadership and public service.”
