As the name suggests, Yggdrasil’s latest slot features the company’s popular Game Engagement Mechanic, GigaBlox.

The launch of the new slot game comes on the heels of Enchanted Waters, a new adventure-themed slot released by Yggdrasil late last month. Enchanted Waters brings engaging and rewarding features and offers 1,024 paylines along with multipliers that grant a chance for mouth-watering prizes.

Yggdrasil’s Slot Brings Free Spins, Multipliers
Mark McGinley, Yggdrasil’s chief gaming officer, revealed that the company is excited to release the new slot game. He said that GigaGong GigaBlox stands out with unique features, strong math and a great theme. Finally, McGinley pointed out: “The GigaBlox mechanic has quickly become a true staple of Yggdrasil’s arsenal, offering great win potential, and combined with Super Wilds and the global gong multipliers this creates a truly special slot.”
“There’s a lot of excitement surrounding this release and GigaGong GigaBlox is another fantastic example of what our game team can produce, with a great theme, maths and features.“

But what makes GigaGong GigaBlox so special? Lucky players can land 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 GigaBlox symbols at any time, instead of the usual single symbols. Elevating the excitement further, players can benefit from the super wild symbol, presented as a Koi fish, as well as Gong symbols.
Online players that land Gong symbols will benefit from securing payout which is the value of the base stake multiplied by the current global gong multiplier that can be found on the right side of the reels. On the other hand, landing super wilds will expand them over the entire reel for the spin.
To activate free spins, players need to land between six and 10 lotus bonus symbols on the reels. This will award them 10 free spins, while 11 or more bonus symbols award the same number of spins. The gong multiplier during the free spins round starts from a random amount and increases by one with each free spin.
Landing bonus symbols during the free spins round awards additional spins. Given that the global gong multiplier continues to grow and doesn’t reset, players have a chance of securing significant prizes.
