4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox Slot Review

4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The 4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox slot is played across 6 reels and 6 rows with up to 46,656 ways to win. The changeable number of paylines is due to the GigaBlox mechanism, which you can find in other 4ThePlayer slots too.

To create a win, simply land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels, beginning from reel 1. Notably, you can create a win with only 2 of the high-value fisherman symbols.

You can play the slot for as little as 10p up to £80 per spin, which makes it suitable for just about anyone. To adjust your bet click the + and – buttons to the right of the reels.

Outside of the UK, you’ll find an Autoplay button. Use this to spin between 10 and 100 times without clicking. You can also set win and loss limits to protect your bankroll.

4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox has a maximum RTP rate of 96%, though a 94% also exists. The higher RTP rate is exactly in line with the online slots average and the original 4 Fantastic Fish slot.

Finally, the slot is highly volatile and offers max wins of 12,000 x your stake. Bigger wins come via the free spins feature and the big game jackpot fish symbols. We’ll explain how these work shortly.

Theme – another chance to reel in even bigger fish

As the name suggests, the 4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox slot has a fishing theme and stays true to its roots. It looks much the same as the original, with bright symbols and familiar characters.

The reels hang against an ocean view, and low-paying symbols include 10 to Ace royals. In the middle of the paytable, you’ll find tackle boxes, fishing rods, crabs, seagulls and starfish. The fisherman symbol is the highest-paying, rewarding you with 2.5 x your bet for a 6-of-a-kind combination.

The fishing boat is the wild symbol and this substitutes for all other symbols except for the scatter, which helps to trigger the respins feature. Other symbols include various different fish, which carry cash prizes, and seaweed symbols. Seaweed symbols have no value.

4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox mobile

4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox is optimised for mobile casino sites. With HTML5 technology, you can enjoy it on iOS and Android smartphones, as well as desktops and tablets. The reel design works well on mobile, and the bright colours make it easy to follow.

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox Bonus Features

4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox boasts 5 main bonus features, plus a Bonus Buy option for players outside of the UK. This includes GigaBlox symbols, respins, cash prizes, Big Game Fish prizes, and 4 different giant squid features.

GigaBlox Feature

As we mentioned earlier, the slot uses the GigaBlox feature, created by Yggdrasil Gaming. GigaBlox are essentially supersized symbols which land on enlarged reels. They can be 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 in size.
GigaBlox symbols split into 1×1 symbols when wins are calculated and this is what creates so many ways to win.

Money Ways Feature

Throughout the game, fish symbols can land on any reel. All fish symbols land with cash prizes attached, worth between 0.1-50 x your bet.

Bigger fish, with more valuable cash prizes, land on the rightmost reels. Fish symbols create a win in the same way as any regular win (on adjacent reels from left to right). When a win occurs, any fish symbols involved in the win award the total prize shown on the symbol.

Big Game Fish Feature

To the left of the reels, you’ll see 4 big fish symbols with their respective prizes. These symbols can land on the reels as GigaBlox and award the following prizes:

Big Game Fish	Description
Big	2×2 GigaBlox. Each 1×1 symbol pays 25 x for up to 100 x bet in total
Super	3x3 GigaBlox. Each 1×1 symbol pays 50 x for up to 450 x bet total
Mega	4x4 GigaBlox. Each 1×1 symbol pays 125 x for up to 2,000 x bet total
Ultra	5X5 GigaBlox. Each 1×1 symbol pays 400 x for up to 10,000 x bet total

Any 1×1 Big Fish symbols involved in a win award an equal portion of the full Big Game Fish prize.

Giant Squid Feature

In the base game, the Giant Squid may randomly appear on any spin. When he does, he can trigger any of the following features:

• • Squid Reveal – Seaweed symbols reveal symbols guaranteeing a win
  • Giga Summon – A large Gigablox reel is summoned, containing symbols sized 4×5 or larger
  • Squid Swap – Swaps symbols to create wins
  • Squid Shuffle – Shuffles the reels into a new order to create wins

Respins Feature

Land 3 or more scatter symbols in the base game to trigger the Fishing Respin bonus feature. The reel layout changes before respins occur, with only the reels that contained a scatter in the base game open. All other reels are locked for the time being, along with the top and bottom positions of each reel. This means essentially you’re now playing on a 3 reel, 4 row layout.

You are awarded 3 respins to begin with, and only fish symbols or scatters land on the reels. All fish symbols that land remain sticky regardless of whether they land on an open or locked reel. If they land in the top or bottom positions, they will be moved to another position on the same reel.

You can unlock reels by landing a scatter on them during respins. GigaBlox symbols can also appear, and you will reset the respin counter to 3 each time you land a new fish or a scatter.

If a shark appears during the feature, it eats the full reel of symbols, combining the prizes into one symbol and awarding a 2x multiplier. This allows you to land further fish symbols in the once occupied spaces.

Finally, the shark also unlocks the top and bottom positions on a reel. If fish symbols then land in these positions, they receive a multiplier worth between 2 and 10x

Bonus Buy Feature

Outside of the UK, you have two bonus buy options:

4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox Slot

Overall, this 4ThePlayer slot puts a successful twist on an already popular title. The GigaBlox feature enhances gameplay and there’s new and exciting bonus features to enjoy too.

What we liked

• 12,000 x bet max wins
• New bonus features
• 46,656 ways to win

What we didn't

• Highly volatile
• Reduced max wins (15,000 x bet in original)

Before we begin discussing 4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox, we admit we were huge fans of the original game. So, naturally, we were a little apprehensive to see whether or not the GigaBlox mechanism would be an improvement or not.

Luckily, the mechanism adds a lot to the original title. There are far more ways to win, and the GigaBlox symbols can lead to bigger fish money prizes. The respins feature also carries bigger multipliers, and the 4 Giant Squid features are simple but effective. The Giga Summon feature is particularly impressive, given that it can create a 5×5 symbols for huge wins.

The main downsides are the introduction of seaweed symbols, which have no value at all, and the reduced max win amount of 12,000 x bet. In comparison, the original title offered payouts of up to 15,000 x your stake.

In conclusion, the 4 Fantastic Fish GigaBlox slot has a lot going for it. If you don’t mind trading slightly higher payouts for exciting features, then we’re sure you’ll love it. Give our demo a try first to get to grips with the mechanism.
