Quartz SiO2 Slot Review

Quartz SiO2 Slot Overview

In Quartz SiO2, top online slots developer Lady Luck Games takes players on an intergalactic mining expedition in search of valuable gems. Taking place deep within the bowels of an off-planet mine and featuring a soundtrack by renowned composer Andrew Vasilyev, the game does a great job of setting the scene. For those wondering, the SiO2 of the title refers to the chemical symbol for silicon dioxide – a compound closely related to Quartz. Those donning their space suits for this slot’s sci-fi adventure will find a simple game featuring Expanding Wilds, Re-spins, and a "pay both ways" system.

Quartz SiO2 Slot Details

Of the slots contained within Lady Luck Games' vast portfolio, this is undoubtedly one of the more straightforward releases. That said, the Expanding Wilds and "pay both ways" mechanic do just enough to help the game stand out from the crowd. The audio and visual team also deserve particular credit for the interpretation of the theme, which in lesser hands could have been a little dull. Overall, there’s plenty to like here, but the experience would have been enhanced by the inclusion of a few special symbols and/or a more substantial bonus feature.

Quartz SiO2 Basic Rules

The base game takes place on a 5x3 layout
Wins are triggered by landing connecting identical symbols on any of the 10 available paylines
These paylines are the slot's first big selling point, as in Quartz SiO2 wins pay out both from left to right, beginning at reel one, and from right to left, beginning at reel five

Quartz SiO2 Slot Paytable & Symbols

Here's a guide to all the symbols and payouts available in Quartz SiO2:

Name	3 Symbols	4 Symbols	5 Symbols
Club	0.2x	1x	2.5x
Spade	0.2x	1x	2.5x
Heart	0.5x	1x	2.5x
Diamond	0.7x	1.5x	4x
Yellow Gem	0.8x	2x	5x
Blue Gem	1x	2.5x	6x
Green Gem	2.5x	6x	12x
Red Gem	5x	20x	25x

Standard card suits - Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades - serve as the low-paying icons and award 2.5x-4x for five-of-a-kind. It is, however, Gems that you seek in this space mine. Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red Gems initially appear as blackened rocks but will explode to reveal their full glory when involved in a winning combination. Land five of these on a payline, and you will be rewarded with a win of 5x-25x.

Here's a guide to all the winning lines in Quartz SiO2:

Quartz SiO2 Slot Features

quartz sio2 respin — Leading to a re-spin

Wild Respin Feature

A “Wild” logo predictably serves as the game's Wild symbol, but these aren’t just any old Wilds.

Any time a Wild lands in view, it will expand to cover the whole reel - greatly increasing your chances of hitting a win. Not only that, but all Wilds award a free re-spin in which the full-reel Wild remains locked in place. Hit another Wild on your re-spin, and it will also lock in place and grant another re-spin!

Quartz SiO2 Slot Bonus Features

Gamble Feature

Not content with your winnings on any given spin? Why not try and increase your haul via the game's Gamble feature? Simply guess red or black to double your winnings, or predict the correct card suit to quadruple your loot.

The gamble feature is available following all wins of 100x or less, and you may gamble up to four times for each qualifying win. Proceed with caution though, as should you guess incorrectly at any stage, you will lose your winnings for that spin.

Our Verdict: We would have liked it if Quartz SiO2 had a few more bonus features packed into it. The re-spins brought about by the game's Wilds do help to soften the blow in that regard, but we couldn't help but feel like something was missing.

Quartz SiO2 Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
95.90%	No	Medium - High

The game’s fixed Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 95.90% is only fractionally below the industry-average RTP of 96% - representing pretty solid value for an online casino game.

This game also falls into the medium-high volatility category.

Our Verdict: Close but not cigar when it comes to the slot's RTP, falling just below the average we would like. Whilst not presenting anything like the rollercoaster ride of a purely high volatility slot, you should still expect your fair share of ups and downs, with a lower win frequency than in a low or medium volatility release.

Quartz SiO2 Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

You may require some incredible eyesight when playing Quartz SiO2, as the reels are nearly entirely shrouded in darkness for the majority of the game. The Gem symbols provide a brief splash of colour when they form wins. Jagged rocks can also be made out in the background behind the reels.

Quartz Sio2 (Lady Luck Games) 1 — Wild symbol lands

Quartz Sio2 (Lady Luck Games) 2 — Club symbols form a win

Quartz Sio2 (Lady Luck Games) 3 — Re-spin activates

Quartz Sio2 (Lady Luck Games) 4 — Mega win

Audio

An unexpectedly upbeat techno theme plays in the background while you spin, with a dramatic sting joining the fray whenever a Wild symbol activates a re-spin. You can turn off sounds in the bottom right corner.

Our Verdict: We might be exaggerating about how dark Quartz SiO2 is, but the dim lighting does create a dingy vibe. Even if the symbols are designed in great detail, the lack of colour can sometime make it hard to stay engaged.

Quartz SiO2 Slot on Mobile

Lady Luck Games can be relied upon to ensure their games are available to both desktop players and mobile slots fans, and Quartz SiO2 continues that trend. Whether you be an Android or iOS user, you will find that the game performs flawlessly on your small-screen device.
