MegaPearl Gigablox Slot Review
The humble pearl – which starts life off as a byproduct of a mollusk – is believed to protect from fire and dragons. It also symbolizes health and longevity and is seen as a harbinger of luck. That’s quite the portfolio, I’d say. Imagine combining a bunch of pearls – wouldn’t that bring even more of the same?
Funny that, because MegaPearl Gigablox slot from Australian studio, Yggdrasil, seems to have asked the same question. Let’s see how it plays out.
Gameplay
We’ve got ourselves a simple-looking game with 6-reels, technically, but in practice, the reels combine, courtesy of some stacked symbols (which we’ll get to in a bit).
If you wanna rock this game on your phone, well this is what you can expect: in portrait mode, there’s a lot of blue sky at the top half of the screen, and the grid is very small. In landscape mode, things look very similar to the laptop experience.
This slot plays out across 40 fixed paylines, and before we go any further, I need to draw your attention to the following: only fiat players will be able to ply their trade on MegaPearl Gigablox slot. Crypto players – you might wanna jettison now.
The other bad news is that the RTP only weighs in at an anemic 95% but the max win does make up for that, I guess – it stands at €228,165. The last stat I need to mention before we get into the meat and bones of this game, is that the volatility is low.
Features
The golden dragon WILD replaces all other symbols except the Pearl. The PEARL sets off the Bonus Re-spins feature when you collect 6 or more of them.
BONUS RE-SPINS:
When this round initiates, the triggering symbols will be locked into place. They’ve also been ascribed values ranging from 1x to 1,000x and you’ll be gifted 3 re-spins. Any additional Pearls that you manage to land now reset the counter to 3.
You can also combine squares of Pearls to create a Mega Pearl symbol and the value of this big boy is 2x the sum of the Pearl symbols that formed to make it.
GIGABLOX:
You’re here for the Gigablox though, so let’s dig into that one real quick. It’s available on every spin during the base game and this is where you’ll see 2x2 and 4x4 blocks of symbols being formed when certain reels join together.
Gigablox can be formed of any symbols available, including Wilds and Scatters.
BUY BONUS:
If you don’t wanna wait for Lady Luck to bless you, then open up that wallet and use the Buy feature. It’ll cost ya 80x your total stake, but you’ll score at least 6 Pearl Scatters.
Performance
ReelPlay uses HTML5 technology to ensure their games play seamlessly across all devices. And I can vouch for it – I spun the wheels off of this game and it worked a treat every time.
Maximum Win
A max bet of €14, along with the 16,297.5x multiplier, will see your coffers swell by a mighty €228,165. And that’s nothing to complain about!
Conclusion
This is an okay game. I’m not the target audience, so maybe I have a skewed perspective, but it’s just mediocre in my books.
Glossing over the looks, the features are decent, what with the Gigablox and the Bonus Re-spins, but they’re not magnificent.
There are loads of Asian-themed games out there, and there’s not much to promote MegaPearl Gigablox slot above the others wrestling for attention in this category.
