Gods vs Gigablox

RTP, Stakes & Variance

As you can tell from the title of Gods vs Gigablox, Hot Rise Games has borrowed Yggdrasil’s Gigablox mechanism for this slot. The playing area has dimensions of 6×6, but because of the Gigablox mechanism, there are often no 36 symbols on the playing area.

The RTP of Gods vs Gigablox is up to 96.00%, but there are versions in circulation with a lower RTP (up to 86.00%). A high variance of payout applies and you can win up to 10,225 times your bet. Furthermore, your bet may vary from a minimum of $0.50 to a maximum of $20 per spin. Especially that limited betting option we find a downside to the statistics of Gods vs Gigablox.

Features

The gigablox mechanism revolves around giant symbols, which can be created at random times as reels merge. Gigablox symbols can have dimensions of 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6 normal symbols in Gods vs Gigablox. For calculating winning combinations, they are imaginary split into 1×1 symbols. Incidentally, a gigablox symbol can also land only partially on the playing field.

The features in Gods vs Gigablox are actually identical to the features of Monsters vs Gigablox. So that means you can again count on a free spins feature, in which all units of a chosen symbol turn into wilds, and the VERSUS feature, which is really just another version of the free spins feature.

Are you on the side of the champion or the challenger!?

VERSUS feature

Why is the VERSUS feature capitalized? That’s because the letters that spell the word “versus” matter here. This is because you unlock the VERSUS feature by spinning the letters V, E, R, S, U and S during a spin. You will receive 6 free spins in that case. During the VERSUS feature, a random champion and challenger are chosen from the high paying symbols.

Each time a champion or challenger symbol lands, it is collected in the corresponding collection meter. Collect enough units of the champion and/or challenger symbol to be rewarded with great prizes:

• Extra free spins
• Symbol multipliers
• Extra wild symbols
• Wild multipliers
• Instant payouts

Free Spins

By spinning 5 “normal” scatters, you activate the free spins feature of Gods vs Gigablox. You will receive 8 free spins in this case. The symbols that can be seen on the playfield at the time of triggering the free spins feature matter. This is because the high paying symbol that is seen most often becomes the chosen symbol. All units of this chosen symbol turn into wilds during the free spins feature. In case of an equal number, the most valuable symbol becomes the chosen symbol.

Overall

Of course, it could be that no high paying symbol was present on the playfield at that time. If that is the case, then the Thor symbol is automatically chosen as the chosen symbol. You can earn another 8 free spins by spinning 5 or more scatters again during the free spins feature of Gods vs Gigablox.

If we are very honest, Gods vs Gigablox has to be mostly about the visual part. For that, this slot machine would undoubtedly deserve a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, however, the features are a bit disappointing. The VERSUS feature in particular does not stand out at all, but the basic game of Gods vs Gigablox is also not exciting enough and somewhat superficial.

So the basics are good, but there is a lot more for Hot Rise Games to get out of it.
