Big Blox Slot Review

Big Blox takes us on a journey deep into the African jungle, where we have a chance to see a strange tribal ritual with wooden masks on the reels, with many facial expressions.

This African tribal theme is used in many video slot games around the industry and there are a number of slot games we have seen so far with an African theme, but Big Blox has some great details installed that separate it from the rest.

The entire game tone is funny and amusing so you won’t see any gruesome scenes on the reels. There are some decent animations installed but nothing too fancy, while the mask symbols are made with a great level of details.

The colors used are perfectly combined so Big Blox is very attractive to the eye. The background music is also interesting and doesn’t quite correspond with the overall theme, but has a more modern tone to it.

Developers

We weren’t surprised to see that Big Blox is another video slot game coming from Yggdrasil Gaming, since we noticed their recognizable design.

What started off as a small company with a modest number of employees and video slot games, is today a major player in the online gambling industry. They have a great offer of video slot games, with one of a kind design and very innovative bonus features, so they managed to win over a big number of players from the leading providers.

sWith the introduction of their Jackpot games and the latest 3 million dollars jackpot win on one of their slots, Yggdrasil Gaming is becoming a very serious player in the online gambling market.

How to Play

We noticed that most of the new video slot games coming from Yggdrasil Gaming are using the 243 ways to win design. The same design in used with Big Blox, with 243 ways to win, 5 reels and 3 rows in total. The minimum bet size is set at a decent $0.25 per spin, while the maximum can go up to a highs $100.

It is regulated by the coins size, up to the maximum $4, and players can use the Auto Play button for long sessions and an indefinite number of spins. This way you can set the reels in motion and sit back and relax without doing anything.

Special Features

Many players might be disappointed to learn that Big Blox doesn’t offer any classic bonus features on the reels. Instead Yggdrasil decided to use the Big Blox feature for winning combinations to land.

This feature is triggered in every single spin. A group of symbols is added to the reels, which are identical and show up as one big symbol. Every symbol from the pay table can be included in the Big Blox including the wild symbol.

You have a chance to win a Big Blox covering several positions on the reels, starting from the smallest 2 x2 and up to the biggest Big Blox of 5 x 3 positions or the entire screen. This can also happen with the wild symbol, so a full screen of wilds is probably the best Big Blox you could possibly wish for.

This is probably the first video slot game we have seen from Yggdrasil Gaming with such a feature and we can only say that they did a very good job implementing it in Big Blox.

Maximums Payout

Big Blox can be a very profitable game, as players have a chance to win $972 while playing on the minimum $0.25 bet. This transcribes to a great 3,888 x total bet win, which can happen if the wild symbol comes in the Big Blox feature and decides to make its way to all positions on the screen.

Summary

Big Blox came as a bit of a surprise for us, since it’s probably the first slot game from Yggdrasil Gaming with such a design and features.

We were surprised to see that no free spins round was installed since we are used to seeing many bonus features in the Yggdrasil slots, but the wins on the reels were reason enough for Big Blox to earn our respect.

It’s a high variance game with 243 ways to win, so you will only need one good spin in order to get a great payout. If that spin includes a full Big Blox with a wild symbol, you will win a great 3,888 x total bet payout.
