Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Slot Review

Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox slot is played on 6 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed by matching 3 or more symbols from left to right, starting from reel 1.

Stakes range from just 40p up to £14 per spin. This is a nice range, but we’ve seen wider ranges with many other online slots, and the 40p may be a little higher for some smaller-stakes players. Turbo spins and autospins may also be available in your territory, but it’s certainly not available in the UK.

The Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox RTP is 96%, which is the average figure for an online slot. Variance levels here are in the medium to high range, and the game comes with a hit rate of 21.05%. This means that just over a 5th of all spins on average will result in a winning combination.

The maximum win is 16,297.5 x your stake. Your best chance of landing the top prize will come in the Bonus Respins feature as Coin symbols can come with multipliers up to 1,000x.

Theme – a wild stampede of Buffalos

The theme in the Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox slot game is all about the American wilderness where numerous animals dominate the reels. Visually, it’s quite simple, with the reels set in the searing heat of the US wilderness, with coloured symbols grabbing your attention as you spin away. I do like the buffalo stampede though when a big win lands. That’s a nice touch.

The soundtrack is very calming, with a slot melody throughout the base game. Land the Bonus Respins feature and the audio intensifies, with the bonus round taking place at sunset to give a suspenseful feel to the gameplay. It’s all nicely done but there’s nothing that really stands out here with the wow factor.

On the reels, the usual card suits make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by numerous higher-paying animals – moose, wolves, eagles and buffalos. The buffalo symbol is the most lucrative, paying 0.375, 1, 2 or 5 x your stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The game’s Wild pays the most outside the standard set of symbols. It can reward you with 7.5 x your stake for 6 in combination, and it substitutes for all symbols except the Coin symbol.

Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Mobile

Produced using the latest HTML5 technology, the Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox slot game is available on desktop and mobile devices. The simple HD graphics work well on smaller screens, but I do prefer a tablet or even a desktop computer for this game personally with everything going on.

Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Bonus Features

There’s 1 main bonus feature in the Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox slot game, and that’s the BOnus Respins feature. Other things to look out for are the larger symbols and the Buy Bonus feature. Let’s run you through how these features work, starting with the larger symbols you’ll see as you spin away.

Gigablox

If you’re familiar with Yggdrasil slots, you may have seen the Gigablox mechanic in action. This is essentially where oversized symbols land on the reels in a 2×2 to 4×4 formation. Any symbol can become an oversized symbol too, and in the base game, every spin will have at least one Gigablox reel.

Bonus Respins feature

Land 6 or more Coin symbols in the base game of the Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox slot to trigger this feature. 3 respins will be awarded, and it will play like a typical respins bonus feature you see in many other games at various UK slot sites.

When a Coin lands, it is awarded a random multiplier from 1x up to 1,000x. It also locks in place (as do the Coin symbols that trigger the feature initially). Only Coins and blanks will land during this bonus round.

When Coins form a square of 2×2 in size or more, they can merge to create 1 big Coin symbol, which is called the Mega Coin. This Mega Coin receives the value of the coins that created it multiplied by 2. Additionally, 2×2 and 3×3 Mega Coins can merge with other Coins to create huge Mega Coins, which could lead to some big wins.

Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Review Summary – mega coins hold the key to big wins

Overall, I was left a little underwhelmed with the Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox slot. Maybe I was expecting too much, but there wasn’t much to get excited about if I’m being completely honest. Especially as I’ve played all of the other Gigalblox titles and was perhaps stupidly looking forward to something new or different.

I did like the fact that coin symbols merged to create Mega Coins, and this is the key to big wins. There’s no chance of landing the max win of 16,297.5 x your stake in the base game, so you rely heavily on some Mega Coin luck in the bonus feature.

It reminded me too much of Mega Pearl Gigablox, which isn’t a bad game by the way. But there’s no uniqueness here to take it to the next level. It’s an ok slot, but that’s where it ends for me.
