Yggdrasil unleashes Giganimals GigaBlox
12 Apr 2023
The six-reel, 40-payline title features the hugely popular GigaBlox Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), which sees supersized symbols land on the reels, potentially reaching up to 6x6 in size.
The action-packed game sees two types of bonus spins modes, and a wild surge can occur on any spin, turning one of the four low-paying icons into wilds for huge wins.
Throughout base gameplay, each low-paying symbol not only pays out for winning combinations, but also adds to a spaceship collection meter, giving players the opportunity to build up to a bonus spins bonus. Each of the four animals have their respective collection meter, starting at different amounts at the beginning of the game.
These meters fill up according to how many symbols are in the winning combination, encouraging players to root for their favorite farm animal. If one of the spaceship meters is filled, the collection bonus spins mode is activated. The triggering symbol will act as a wild throughout the bonus.
The meters can be filled for the duration of the bonus spins, giving further opportunity for more low-paying symbols to become wilds, as players chase the max win of 5,120x.
Giganimals GigaBlox also boasts a scatter-triggered bonus spins, further increasing player engagement. Before entering this round, players can opt to utilize the gamble wheel for more spins.
In certain jurisdictions, players can progress to the bonus spins mode directly via the two buy features.
“Giganimals GigaBlox sees us take one of our most popular GEMs and give it an out-of-this-world makeover,” said Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil. “With two bonus spins modes, including an engagement-boosting collections meter mode, we’re confident it will be another spectacular addition to our portfolio.”
