Giga Bass Gigablox Slot Review

Giga Bass Gigablox Slot Overview

Giga Bass Gigablox is a six reel fishing slot from ReelPlay that mixes a laid back lakeside theme with Yggdrasil’s oversized Gigablox mechanic. Every spin merges at least two reels into a big block, from 2x2 up to 4x4. On top of that you have the familiar fisherman acting as a wild and cash collector, scooping up values from bass symbols when he appears.

On paper it looks straightforward, yet there is enough going on to keep seasoned slot fans interested. The game runs on 40 fixed lines with hits coming from three or more of a kind from the left. Features circle around Wild Symbol, Gigablox, Bass Symbol, Free Spins and Feature Buy, all tied together with max win potential nudging around ten thousand times stake.

Giga Bass Gigablox Game Stats

Giga Bass Gigablox uses a 6x4 layout and 40 paylines, with bets from 0.20 up to 24 credits per spin, which suits low stakes testing and slightly higher rollers. Default RTP sits at 96 percent, while some sites run 94 or 90.5 percent versions, so I always check the help screen. Hit frequency is quoted at 24.15 percent and free spins land on average once every 132 spins. Volatility feels firmly high.

Giga Bass Gigablox Slot Information

Giga Bass Gigablox sticks to a classic fishing set up, with the reels framed in old timber and the lake stretching behind. You can see trees on the far bank and bubbles moving up through clear water, while a gentle banjo track plays along. It sets a calm mood, which helps when the slot is being stingy, and gives the big wins more impact when those chunky Gigablox finally line up.

Gameplay itself is simple enough. Wins need at least three matching symbols on a line, starting from the leftmost reel and running across adjoining reels. The Gigablox mechanic means at least two reels join together on every spin, dropping in oversized versions of any symbol, including wilds, bass and scatters. I tried it on both desktop and mobile and the grid scales nicely without feeling cramped.

How To Play Giga Bass Gigablox Free Slot Demo

When I fire up the Giga Bass Gigablox demo I start by setting stake with the plus and minus buttons, usually hovering around the middle of the range rather than min bet. Then it is a case of hitting spin and watching for matching symbols from left to right. Auto play is handy if you are grinding for the bonus, but I still prefer tapping manually when testing a volatile slot.

As you play, keep an eye on how often bass symbols and the fisherman land, as that pair drives most of the interesting hits. Five or more scatters anywhere trigger the free spins feature, with each scatter awarding one spin. Some versions offer a Feature Buy for sixty times stake that guarantees enough scatters for the bonus, although players in the UK will normally only see it in the demo.

Winning Combinations & Payouts in Giga Bass Gigablox

Giga Bass Gigablox Bonus Game and Special Symbols

The fisherman Wild Symbol in Giga Bass Gigablox substitutes for all regular icons and comes with its own paytable, up to 5x stake for six. More importantly, whenever a wild lands it collects all visible cash values shown on bass symbols. Those bass icons can carry prizes from 1x up to 100x total bet or one of four fixed bonus prizes, so a single spin can throw together some tasty totals.

The Gigablox mechanic ties in nicely with that collection feature. Any symbol, including wilds, bass and scatters, can land as an oversized block from 2x2 up to 4x4. Each position within the block counts as an individual symbol. If a bass symbol lands as Gigablox, its value is multiplied by the number of reels it covers. When the wild arrives as Gigablox, it multiplies the total it collects in the same way.

On top of the standard cash values you have four jackpots that drop from bass symbols. Mini and Minor prizes, worth 10x and 50x total bet, can hit more than once in a single spin. Major and Grand, at 250x and 1,000x stake, are limited to one each per game round. These prizes are fixed amounts, not progressive, which I actually prefer when budgeting long sessions.

Final Thoughts on Giga Bass Gigablox

After a decent stretch on Giga Bass Gigablox I came away liking the way it keeps the fisherman active in both base game and free spins rather than saving him only for the bonus. The constant presence of Gigablox reels also gives even dead spins a bit of suspense. It is still a high variance fishing slot at heart, so sessions can swing hard before those big bass finally turn up.

RTP at 96 percent is about standard, while the increased 96.9 percent figure attached to the Feature Buy makes sense if you are allowed to use it outside the UK. For me the slot sits nicely between relaxed lakeside theme and serious win potential around the ten thousand times mark. If you enjoy cash collection mechanics and chunky symbol blocks, this one is well worth a few test spins.
