Gator Gold: Gigablox Slot Review

Gator Gold: Gigablox Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Gator Gold: Gigablox slot is played using a 6 reel, 4 row, 4,096 ways to win machine. To create a winning combination, land the same symbol or wild on 3 or more adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. For example, landing a zebra on reels 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 would not result in a winner. Land zebras on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4 and you would though. The gator symbol only requires 2 symbols on adjoining reels from reel 1 to form a winner.

Bet levels range from 20p to £60 per spin. Click on the + and – buttons next to the coin size box in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to adjust your stake. The payout amounts in the paytable are shown in cash rather than coins and change as you adjust your stake level up and down. This is nice and clear.

The Gator Gold: Gigablox RTP is 96% which is about average. The hit frequency rate is 23% so you can expect to land a winner on just under a quarter of spins on average. This can fluctuate wildly over the short term of course.

The potential maximum win here is a very impressive 20,000 x your total stake from a single spin. Be warned though, the volatility is high.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – head to the great riverlands

Like many safari-themed slots, Yggdrasil Gaming has played slightly fast and loose as far as accuracy is concerned. There’s a definite African feel to the design in the Gator Gold: Gigablox slot. The only issue with that is that alligators aren’t native to Africa. They’re only found in the USA, Mexico and China.

That aside, there’s plenty to like about the design here which comes with Yggdrasil’s usual flair. Set in the great riverlands, don’t confuse it with the Riverlands region in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Visually, this is a very appealing slot. There’s a very rhythmical soundtrack pumping away in the background while you spin which matches the safari theme very nicely.

With mountains, plains, a lake and trees in the background, the reels are set within a pair of totem-style statues. There you’ll find A to 9 royals which appear alongside zebras, meerkats, wildebeest and lions. The gator is the most lucrative symbol, paying 6 x your total stake if you land 6 in combination. There’s also a free spins scatter and multiplier wilds which appear when you trigger the bonus round.

You can join the big beasts on the African plains on all devices including mobile, tablets and desktops. The sound and visuals impress, even when using a small screen. The simple gameplay is suited to smartphone play too.

Gator Gold: Gigablox Bonus Features

With 3 bonus features, the colossal Gigablox symbols and a free spins bonus are the main extras on offer in Gator Gold: Gigablox. You can boost your payouts during those free spins courtesy of 2x and 3x multiplier wilds.

Gigablox feature

The Gigablox feature sees reels that are made up of colossal symbols. These colossal symbols can be 2×2, 3×3 or even 4×4 symbols in size. You’re guaranteed to land at least 1 Gigablox on each spin but you could land multiple ones on the same spin.

Free Spins feature

To trigger the Free Spins feature, you need to land 5 or more free spins scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. The number of free spins awarded is equal to the number of triggering scatters. For example, 6 triggering scatters delivers an initial haul of 6 free spins. You will trigger the feature every 127 spins on average.

Just like in the base game, the Gigablox are active here with at least 1 of them hitting on each free spin. Also joining the action here are 2x and 3x multiplier wilds. Known as the Multiplier Wilds feature, land 1 of these in a winning combination and the payout is doubled or trebled.

It’s easy to add extra free spins to your total in this round too. Each free spins scatter that lands adds 1 extra free spin to your current total.

Gator Gold: Gigablox Review Summary – all about the colossal symbols

The wilds of African have provided plenty of inspiration for slot developers. The Gator Gold: Gigablox slot takes the classic theme and adds something new courtesy of the colossal symbols.

It’s not hugely innovative but the fact that these colossal symbols are active on every spin keeps you on your toes. The free spins is decent thanks to the presence of the multiplier wilds. The action here is high variance so tread carefully. It might not be zoologically accurate but Gator Gold: Gigablox is a playable enough safari.

With multiplier wilds and 4,096 ways to win, it has a lot of similarities to Raging Rhino (WMS). If you like the Gigablox concept, try Hades: Gigablox which has a Greek mythology theme.
