Gator Gold Deluxe Gigablox Review

We still have the original Gator Gold Gigablox fresh in mind, although there have been a few Gigablox installments from Yggdrasil in between. We weren’t all that impressed by the somewhat bland visual presentation in the first game, and the only difference here is the new backdrop. Gator Gold Deluxe Gigablox comes with the same math model as the first game, so the only real upgrade is found in the feature department.

Getting so few free spins that you were almost forced to take your chances in the gamble feature was a problem in the original release, and we’re glad to see that this has been somewhat amended in this Deluxe version. The biggest change, however, is that the bonus round now comes with a symbol upgrade system in addition to multiplier wilds. We would hardly call the top-tier Golden Gator a “Super High Payer” though, as Yggdrasil does on their website.

Gator Gold Deluxe Gigablox Features

You get at least 1 Gigablox reel per spin, and these come in sizes up to 4x4 at the most. All symbols, including wilds and free spin scatters, can land as Gigablox, and they count as 1x1 individual symbols no matter the size. The regular Gator Gold Wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combos, and it holds no value of its own.

You need at least 5 Free Spins scatters anywhere to trigger the Bonus Round, and each free spins symbol awards between 1 and 3 free spins. Each scatter you land during the feature awards extra spins, and the bonus round comes with x2 and x3 multiplier wilds. These can also land as Gigablox, but the multiplier is only applied once. If more than one multiplier wild is part of a win however, the respective multipliers will multiply with each other.

Before the bonus round starts you have the option of gambling for more free spins. You can keep gambling for more spins as long as you wish (+2 or +10 are the options), but your winning chances shrink per consecutive gamble.

The biggest change from the original release is the Upgrade symbol that comes into play during free spins. You need to collect 3 such Upgrade symbols to upgrade the lowest tier animal premium symbol to the next in the hierarchy. Each upgrade also awards +2 extra spins, and it’s possible to upgrade all the premium symbols to the top-tier Golden Gator symbol.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. This will set you back 60x your stake, and it guarantees between 5 and 30 free spins. You can, of course, also choose to gamble for extra spins, if you so desire.

The 200 Spins Gator Gold Deluxe Gigablox Experience

You get to see a minute of the base game, before we purchase the bonus round. This gave us 10 free spins, so we decided to gamble for +2 extra spins. We landed in the green zone, and the bonus round plays out for the remainder of the 2:46-minute highlights video. Hit the play button below to see for yourself how we fared.

Review Summary

It’s a bit strange that Yggdrasil would release a Deluxe version of their most successful Gigablox title so soon after the original was launched.

Both versions are high risk/reward installments with a solid 20,000x potential, but the big difference in Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe is the symbol Upgrade feature. It’s a decent bolted-on upgrade, but in practice the animal symbol values aren’t all that different from top to bottom. The multiplying multiplier wilds seemed to land less often because of this feature, which is something to consider when you make your pick.

Pros

• Up to 4x4 Gigablox per spin
• FS w/ symbol upgrade & multiplier wilds
• Gamble for +2 or +10 extra free spins
• Win up to 20,000x your stake

Cons

• Visuals are still not all that impressive

Monster Blox - is a visual masterpiece of a Gigablox release from Peter & Sons, and it plays out on a default 6x4 grid with 40 ways to win. Each win awards a respin and expands the grid by 1 extra row, and it can grow up to 6x8 with 100 ways to win. The Wizard’s magic gun turns symbols wild at random times, and you’ll collect scatters to increase the multiplier and win extra spins in the bonus round.

Golden Fish Tank 2 Gigablox - is a colorful and vivid Gigablox release from Yggdrasil, and it plays out on a 6x4 grid with 25 ways to win.
