Our Review
In a world cluttered with rocket launches and plane crashes, I find it refreshing when a game takes a different path. Turbo Games has caught my eye with their latest release: Jewel Clicker, a gem-mining twist on the crash game format.
Having played and reviewed dozens of crash games, I’ve developed a keen eye for what makes them tick.
But before I dig too deep into my personal opinions, let me break down what makes this game shine and where it might need some polishing.

Gameplay experience
Turbo Games are known for their interesting gameplay mechanics, so I am not gonna lie; I’m excited!

No hypotheticals, just hands-on experience.
Desktop experience
When I first launched Jewel Clicker, I immediately noticed its unique gameplay mechanics – mining gems instead of launching rockets.
No Bitcoin mining here (though that could’ve been interesting!).
The visual feedback is simple but effective: when you crash, the golden rock turns gray.
That’s all there is to it, and honestly, I find the simplicity refreshing.
The maximum multiplier is 1,000X, which isn’t as high as the 1,000,000X you can find in Rocketpot’s Crash. Yet, it isn’t bad, either!
You can also see how many players are active at the moment, which is a good live indicator of the game’s popularity.
While I can check my recent results, I do miss having a proper leaderboard like in Aviator by Spribe.
A full gameplay control
However, it’s arguably one of the best crash games in terms of player control. You can literally pick how much you want to cash out.
Though I have to say, like most click-to-play crash games, it feels a bit awkward on a desktop.
Mobile experience
The mobile version is where Jewel Clicker really shines – the tap controls feel natural, and I’m impressed by how clean and responsive the interface is.
I really enjoy the design; it’s not heavy in elements, and the loading speed is impressive.
Buttons are ordered well, and you can see your betting history, although there’s no historical data about biggest wins. Yikes!
Auto cashout is available in case of disconnection
In case you lose access to your mobile connection, you will cash out your winnings in 15 seconds.
I thoroughly tested it on an iPhone 13 Pro and an Android tablet. The performance surprised me – it runs smoothly on Wi-Fi and mobile data.
That’s impressive in my book!
Gameplay options
Gameplay options make or break a crash game’s long-term appeal, so I always test them carefully. Jewel Clicker has done well, but not enough to leave a lasting impression.
But let’s have a more detailed look.
Manual mode
In Jewel Clicker, you’re limited to Manual Mode. The gameplay loop is simple: tap somewhere on the big stone and watch the multiplier climb.
The 96% RTP doesn’t exactly wow me. It’s certainly not bad, but knowing that 99% RTP crash games exist, it’s certainly not ideal.
The betting interface is just one, so it kind of limits your strategy capabilities.
If you want to test different strategies, Triple Cash or Crash might be more your speed.
The betting structure starts nicely at $0.10, with $0.1 increments up to $1, then $1 steps to $10, and finally $10 jumps until you hit the $100 cap.
Having criticized Turbo Games’ large betting increments in PumpedX, I’m pleased they’ve done their homework and offered something better with Jewel Clicker.
Auto mode
Jewel Clicker doesn’t have an auto mode, which is pretty unfortunate.
It’s hard for me to highlight a game without an auto mode, as automations allow me to implement interesting crash strategies.
If you want to play some crash games with a rock-solid auto mode, you can check the Crash by Stake Originals, where you can implement more complex strategies.
Additional game features
1. Provably fair gameplay mechanics
I’m a big fan of provably fair games because they eliminate any doubts about fairness.
Jewel Clicker is provably fair
You can verify each round’s outcome through the server seed accessible in the ‘My Bets’ section.
While most players won’t check these details regularly, I find it reassuring that the option exists.

Is Jewel Clicker worth it?
Jewel Clicker’s gem-mining twist and slick mobile performance are a real change of pace, and it’s provably fair. But 96% RTP, one betting panel and no auto mode limit its depth.
