Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe was just announced by Yggdrasil Gaming, and it’s obviously an improved version of another slot machine that this developer released in the last year or so. The Deluxe title will deliver awesome rewards, just as good as the original in fact, and there will be several improvements made in other areas, particularly when it comes to the upgrade feature.

You will find 4096 ways to win on 6x4 reels. It’s a common setup, and together with the features that are included, it can contribute to top wins of up to 20,000x the stake. In a slot machine with higher volatility than most, we find an RTP of 96%. Major features worth mentioning, including the Gigablox mechanic, upgrade symbols, wilds, and scatters with free spins.

Betting and Prizes

Starting from a minimum wager of $0.20, it will not be terribly expensive to play this slot, not unless you want to. Up to $60 can be wagered on each round.

As far as the game’s best rewards are concerned, we know that the cap is set to 20,000x the stake. It’s a very good top payout even these days when there are dozens of new slots offering just as much or more.

All those games have the high volatility nature of their gameplay in common, but as long as the RTP is at 96% (like in this case), you should still give them a shot, if you’re willing to take the risk.

Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe Slot Features

The Gigablox system which is available in this slot machine is used to deliver large symbols to the game area. They occupy 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 positions, and so they give you between 4 and 16 matching symbols grouped up. With the ways to win system that’s being used, this can help in bringing a lot more wins at the same time.

Some assistance may come from the slot’s wilds, which you can get in regular and multiplier form. Either way, they act as substitutes and can contribute to any new wins that are being formed, while landing on reels 2-6. The multiplier wilds will also give those wins a boost, and they can multiply each other when they’re combined.

The free spins feature is active only if you had 5+ scatter symbols on the reels at the same time. Up to 3 free spins are offered, in exchange for each triggering scatter. After that, you can get more free spins, by having additional scatters land (up to 3 extra spins for each one).

A big advantage that the free spins have over the base game, will rely on Upgrades. These are special symbols, that you can get on the 6th reel. You collect them, and once you have 3 of them, the least valuable premium symbol will be upgraded. This can happen multiple times, and eventually, you can end up only with the Gator Gold top symbol in all premium positions.

Gigablox Upgrade symbols can make it a lot easier to upgrade the premium symbols since they count as several positions.

Theme & Design

Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe might mention the alligator first and foremost, but that’s just the star of the show, not the whole ensemble. The slot machine was designed as a wildlife-themed title, which offers a variety of creatures on its reels, as top symbols. The Gigablox mechanic has an influence on the design as well since some reels will land merged.

The actual list of symbols will start you off with six Royals, each one in a different color and animal pattern, going 9 to A. The others are with wild animals of Africa, so we’re seeing the Gator, Leopard, Antelope,  Meerkat and Zebra. Wilds and scatters land using logos of the features they represent.
