When you see the title of this Yggdrasil Gaming’s new game, you expect to see some cool animals and Yggdrasil’s famous Gigablox mechanics. And that is what you get, actually, but there is also something unexpected. The animals are riding in spaceships and hanging out with aliens on some foreign planet that is not planet Earth. That's only a glimpse of what awaits you when the game releases on 11 April.
Giganimals Gigablox is a 6-reel game in its essence, but the reels constantly change because of the Gigablox mechanics and the huge blocks that cover the reels. It is a highly volatile game with 40 fixed paylines, a theoretical RTP of 96%, and some amazing bonus features. It has four lower-paying battery symbols and four higher-paying alien symbols.
Wild Surge and Collection Features
The Wild Surge reel feature happens randomly during the main game in this Yggdrasil slot. During this feature, one or more low symbols become wild symbols and potentially form new winning combinations.
Each of these lower-paying symbols has a Collection meter on the left and a dedicated animal in a spaceship to collect the wins they form on the reels. Sometimes a Collection multiplier appears randomly during the game and multiples the values added to the meters. If you fill out at least one of the collection meters, you will be awarded the Collection Free Spins.
Collection Free Spins and Scatter Free Spins
Players can get between five and 20 Collection Free Spins, and the first two collected meters guarantee seven Free Spins. The symbol whose meter triggered the Collection Free Spins feature becomes the Wild symbol in the bonus game. You also get new collection meters for the bonus feature, and each symbol that fills the meter triggers two extra Free Spins and becomes a Wild.
Scatter Free Spins get triggered by at least five Bonus (Scatter) symbols. The number of Scatter symbols determines the number of Free Spins.
If the Bonus symbol appears as a Gigablox block, it breaks into individual 1x1 symbols. This bonus round is played the same as the previous one when it comes to the low-paying symbols and their collection meters.
In both of these Free Spins features, players get a chance to gamble for more Free Spins than they are awarded. In some jurisdictions, Yggdrasil Gaming also provided players with an option to buy a bonus feature by hitting the “Buy a Bonus” button.
Maybe Giganimals will bring you luck with their collection meters in Giganimals Gigablox?
