Hunters Moon Gigablox Review

Truth be told, we really liked some of the earlier releases in the Gigablox range, and more specifically those done by Yggdrasil themselves. Since then, the series has been delegated to the YGS Masters program, with various results. Hunters Moon Gigablox is Bulletproof Games’ first effort with Yggdrasil’s dynamic reels engine, and the result is a somewhat darkish, fantasy-themed installment with a (for this series) mediocre 5,000x potential.

The very blonde female hunter remains static on the left-hand side at all times, and she slides in on the top bonus reel to transform random symbols below into wilds. Gigablox up to 5x5 in size will land on any spin, and these count as 1x1 tiles of matching symbols. We don’t exactly know what the huntress is hunting, but you’ll surely be hunting larger wins in the bonus round that comes with far more frequent wild transformations.

Hunters Moon Gigablox Features

The blonde huntress is the wild symbol, and she steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos. The wild is worth the same as the top-tier Bear symbol, and 6-oak awards an 8x your stake payout.

On top of the 6x6 grid is a bonus reel that runs from right to left, and it slides in wilds and/or bonus symbols. These 2 special symbols cannot land on the regular reels, and the bonus reel slides one position from right to left at the start of each spin.

If the bonus reel slides in a wild or a bonus symbol, or both, these transform regular symbols directly beneath into the same.

You need at least 5 bonus symbols on the main reels to trigger the Bonus Round, and you get 1 free spin per triggering bonus symbol. Gigablox symbols count as 1x1 individual symbols, so a full 3x3 block of bonus symbols, for example, will count as 9 bonus symbols.

During the feature, you get +1 extra spin per bonus symbol that’s converted on the regular reels. You can expect a higher frequency of especially wilds on the bonus reel for the duration of the bonus round. Non-UK players can purchase the bonus round for 100x the total stake, and this awards 5 to 36 free spins in a random fashion.

The 200 Spins Hunters Moon Gigablox Experience

You get to see a larger gigablox win in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round at 0:42 into the 2:46-long highlights video. We got some wild transformation wins here and there, but winning extra spins didn’t seem all that easy.

Review Summary

If you’re brand new to the whole Gigablox concept, Hunters Moon is probably not the best introduction to the series. The dark color scheme and somewhat obscure theme makes it less accessible than previous installments, and the 5,000x potential is mediocre compared to some of the heavy hitters that has come before.

It’s still kind of fun when massive 4x4 or 5x5 blocks are about to drop though, and occasional wild wins will grace the base game to keep you afloat in the volatile environment. Expect plenty more wilds when the bonus round triggers however, making it a somewhat tense and unpredictable affair. Overall, this does not really feel like a step forward for the Gigablox range unfortunately, but more like an okay shelf-filler.

Pros

• Gigablox of 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 in size
• Top bonus reel w/ wilds and bonus symbols
• FS w/ more frequent wilds on the bonus reel
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95 % is well below average
