Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Slot by Reel Play 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Review

The North American prairie and animal genre is popular and evergreen, which makes it a hard genre to compete in. ReelPlay takes a stab at it with Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox, which is a medium to high volatility installment in the ongoing dynamic grid series. The grid is only dynamic in terms of the symbol sizes, however, as the number of win ways never changes. You get up to 4x4 sized Gigablox in this game, which is a few notches below what has been seen before.

There is not much else going on in the base game than these larger symbols that land on each spin, and you can expect plenty of dead spins between wins in this game. The main attraction is the Bonus Respins round, and it comes with cash coin symbols that are boosted by x2 as they merge to form larger coins. The 16,297x potential is admittedly solid, but hardly enough to pull this release out of the swamp of mediocrity.

Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2.5 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and Wild symbols pay 7.5x your stake for the same. Of course, Wild symbols also step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve winning combinations. You get Gigablox symbols in sizes up to 4x4 per spin, and this includes both Wild and Coin symbols. Gigablox symbols break down to 1x1 in size when part of a win, however, so they count as a bunch of regular sized symbols.

You need 6+ Coin symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Respin feature, and Gigablox coins count as a bunch of 1x1 sized symbols as already mentioned. The triggering coins are sticky on an otherwise cleared grid, and all coin symbols come with cash prize values between 1 and 1,000 x your stake. You start with 3 respins, and they tally resets for each new coin symbol you land. Only blanks or coins will appear per spin, and all new coins get frozen in place.

Coins merge to form a larger coin symbol if you form a square of 2x2 in size, or larger. The Mega Coin applies an x2 multiplier to the total value from all the coins that made it. You can even merge 2x2 or 3x3 sized coins with other mega coins to form even larger mega coins. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may buy the bonus round for 80x the stake. This guarantees 6+ triggering coins on the spin that follows.

You get to see mostly dead spins in the base game, which is a fairly accurate representation of how this game played out for us in several sessions, and then we purchase and trigger the bonus round at 1:22 into the 3:31-minute highlights video.

Review Summary

We have seen so many buffalos stampeding towards us by now that we would probably not even move if it happened in real life. Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox comes with the typical North American prairie animal presentation, and you get to admire the details of the artwork more than usual due to the Gigablox system. The tilting of the grid after each spin made us kind of seasick after a while, however, and we do not recommend implementing this in future installments.

The Gigablox system gives you a dynamic grid base game, but we can’t help but feel that something is missing. Some kind of innovative twist or modifier that goes together with the mega symbols to make it more lively and interesting. The bonus round comes with merging cash prize symbols, which we have seen several times before as well, but it’s still a decent feature that can lead to solid payouts up to 16,297x your stake. Overall, Big Bucks Buffalo Gigablox is a mediocre installment in a series that has never really taken off.
