Monster Blox Gigablox

Monster Blox Gigablox is one of the latest slot machines to hit the scene, and everyone should be excited by the word Gigablox. It’s a game engine created by Yggdrasil, and it means there will be giant symbols on the reels, which can help make more winning potential than ever before. As well as this exciting mechanic, Monster Blox is a game with excellent visuals that are on the level you expect to see from video games, the gameplay is fun, and there are several exciting features to go at. There is even time for a storyline of sorts, where a wizard sets off on an adventure to take on monsters.

We name-dropped Yggdrasil above because the Gigablox engine is their work. And we love them for it. However, as we have seen with other titles of this nature, Monster Blox is a collaboration between a couple of studios, and Peter & Sons are on hand to create the main part of the game. Suppose this release is anything like Suncatcher Gigablox or Hades Gigablox. In that case, we should be in for a treat because collaborations have produced high-quality titles in the past, and there is no reason why this won’t continue here.

As always, in addition to all the fun and exciting stuff you come to expect when playing a video slot, there is a determination to make it as accessible as possible too. There is no use having a fantastic game that only a portion of punters can enjoy. As we have seen with other titles carrying the Gigablox engine, the minimum bet is low enough, with spins starting at 20p. And the max stake is high enough to attract high rollers, topping out at £100. There is also the possibility of winning 7,485x the bet in a single round, which will keep anticipation levels high.

We could say we love the symbols in Monster Blox Gigablox and leave it at that. But, as this is a review, we will tell you more. Over the years, if you have played any Yggdrasil titles, you will know they always impress visually. Graphically, they are always high-end, and this continues through top the partners they work with, such as Peter & Sons.

So, everything looks fantastic, but it’s the intricate nature of the design and how well thought out everything is that stands out. The monsters, especially in Gigablox form, are unbelievably eye-catching. Of course, they are in blocks, and there are smaller versions of the monsters and playing card suits that you will see, amongst other things. He’s not a symbol per se, but the wizard to the right of the game area is another fantastic inclusion.

If you hadn’t realised already, the Gigablox system will influence most parts of the game, which also applies to the features. So, for example, players can get the larger icons to appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, and they will, of course, count as multiple symbols, so, therefore, numerous paylines will run through them.

The game area as standard has forty active paylines at the start, but as it expands thanks to the engine, the number of ways to win can climb as high as 100, taking the setup from 6x4 to 6x8. If new wins, respins and the like stop, the game area reduces back to normal, and you start again.

The wizard is more than a gimmick in Monster Blox, as he can transform regular and Giga icons into wilds. And, when you consider how big Giga symbols can be, the winning potential and likelihood of finding winning combinations will be off the scale at this point.

You may be wondering where the free spins feature is. Well, fear not because if you land five or more feature logos in view simultaneously, you can get your hands on some free rounds. And more scatters along the way means more spins and a multiplier boost.

Monster Blox has a lot going for it in terms of being a draw for punters from both the outside and inside. Visually, it’s a game you see that will immediately make you consider playing because of the cartoon-like design that is akin to what you will see on mobile titles and handheld video games. Then you have the Gigablox mechanic, which is a pull in itself and becoming increasingly popular.
