Features
In Water Blox Gigablox, of course, the main feature is the Gigablox feature. But in addition, there are also wild symbols, a Wild Respins feature and a free spins round.
Wild symbols
The wild symbols in Water Blox Gigablox look like angry goldfish and can appear anywhere on the playing field. They can replace any regular symbol to form winning combinations. If you have made a win using only wild symbols, it is worth as much as the most valuable regular symbol. This means that 6 wild symbols give a prize of 10x your bet.
Waterblox vs. 4 other slots of the Gigablox series
Each symbol can appear on the playing field in different sizes, from 1 by 1 to as large as 6 by 6 squares. These larger symbols are the Gigablox and can fall anywhere on the playing field. If you have a win with a Gigablox in it, the block splits into normal 1 by 1 symbols to calculate the win.
Wild Respins feature
As soon as the shaman drapes his cloak around himself and is thus fully dressed as a fish, then the Wild Respins feature begins. This can happen at any time in the base game. The shaman’s staff will then randomly change 1 to 3 symbols on the playing field into wild symbols.
If a Gigablox symbol is changed by the staff, then you also get more wild symbols for it.
After any winnings are paid out, you get a respin. During this respin, the wild symbols float to a new spot on the playing field. If a wild symbol lands on a Gigablox, then the entire Gigablox turns into a large wild symbol.
Bonus Buy Option
You can activate the free spins below by collecting scatters, but you can also buy the round. For this, there are 3 options:
58x your bet you get 5 free spins
580x your bet you get 20 free spins
140x your bet you get a random number of free spins

Free Spins
If you land 5 or more scatters on the playing field at the same time, you will activate the free spins round of Water Blox Gigablox. The amount of scatters you land is also the amount of free spins you get to start the round with. Each scatter you land during the free spins round will give you an additional free spin.
During the free spins round the Wild Respins feature always remains active. In addition, each wild symbol is also collected in the meter to the left of the playing area.
When you have collected enough wild symbols to move to the next level, you get a win multiplier and 2 additional free spins. The levels are as follows:
20 wild symbols corresponds to a win multiplier of x2
45 wild symbols corresponds to a win multiplier of x3
75 Wild symbols hear a win multiplier of x5
125 wild symbols should receive a win multiplier of x10
Wild symbols are only collected once. If they move on the playing field during a respin, they are therefore not counted again.
Final Verdict
Like Monster Blox, Water Blox has been given a very atmospheric and detailed look. The slot machine manages to convey the atmosphere well, even though the environment, and especially the shaman, is very special. Producer Peter & Sons scores pretty high for us in terms of design and originality.
And also the game play of Water Blox is well put together. The Gigablox feature is central to the slot, but there are also other features to keep the game interesting. During the free spins, we did run into the fact that it’s quite difficult to get to the higher multipliers. But this did not spoil the fun for us.
