Big Blox Slot

Big Blox gets off to a good start with the introduction screen promising up to 3,888x your stake from a single spin. Sound's like my kind of game right off the bat and I've loved the vast majority of Yggdrasil games I have tried so my appetite was thoroughly whet to give this one a try!

It's a 243 ways game with some similarities to NetEnt's "Twin Spin" and also a somewhat similar mechanic to Thunderkick's "Zoom" - every spin will feature a single "Big Block", ranging in size from the very common 2x2 right up to the apparently possible 5x3 or full screen. That 3888x bet the game taunts you with when you first load it up is awarded for a full screen of the top "red face" symbol (or a monster full screen wild which pays the same as it doesn't have it's own paytable allocation) but as you'd expect you'll have a long wait before ever seeing a full screen of anything - the largest Big Block I have seen so far after a couple of thousand spins was just 3x3 and I wanted to scream when it appeared on the right hand side of the reels awarding me a big fat zero!

Still, the paytable is reasonably decent for a 243 ways game and I did get quite a few 3x2 and 2x3 blocks that awarded higher winnings than I had been expecting and I quickly found myself hooked on this game, desperately hoping to see one of the monster big blocks shown in the games introductory sequence. I like the graphics too, it's very funky and original and the tribal sounding background music didn't drive me crazy within minutes either which is a common complaint of mine with endless slot machine backing loops.

I expect this game will be another big hit for Yggdrasil, if only they can get their games spread around just a little more - the situation is certainly far better than it was a year ago though and I'm able to play these games at quite a few of my favourite casinos now so I'm sure they have things under control!

“Big Blox” is a slot where again spirituality is the inspiration for “Yggdrasil Gaming” and in this case this supplier has taken as reference a fictional aboriginal tribe since totems that are part of scenario and symbols of this game have funny look and even on some of them they have been also included modern signs such as those used on poker cards.

Despite using a feature previously conceived by other gambling software developers, and specifically I mean the use of mega-symbols, Yggdrasil, in this game, allows us to live a somewhat different experience because, in it, you can feel the sense of fair play, that is to say, a decent hit average and a paytable equipped with pretty fair prices, unlike other similar slots where prices are usually pretty tight.

The concept by which Yggdrasil innovates a little here, it is the feature that sometimes allows mega-symbols to grow with respect to its original size expanding itself either vertically or horizontally, sometimes reaching surprising sizes, it is even possible that a mega-symbol reaches 100% size of the grid of 5 x 3 reels.

Personally, mega-symbols have helped me to get big wins up to 60x my total bet during a single turn, and although often these big blocks seem unwilling to contribute to our interests, the game seems to allow you to sustain your balance in the long run through the good management of your bet levels.

Also, I think the fun factor should not be left out of the equation, because after a few sessions, I think that emotion is the second name of this great video slot; I, for example, like to see when some mega-symbol begins to expand, you can hear when it does, and the best part it's you do not know when it will stop. It is also exciting to wait for a mega-symbol to stop when you already have several matching symbols on the first reels on the left.

Moreover, potential for profit is something you may experience firsthand when you play this slot, but of course, luck plays a decisive role in this respect; also, keep in mind that this slot has the ability to grant a payout of up to 3,888 your bet in a single spin, a not inconsiderable sum in my opinion.

I personally always feel very comfortable playing games manufactured by Yggdrasil Gaming, and in this case, I can only say that I think “Big Blox” is an excellent addition to its portfolio.
