Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox Review

We were quite charmed by the original Desperate Dawgs from Reflex Gaming, and Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox has been beefed up significantly in pretty much all departments. The wild west visual presentation is more robust this time, not least thanks to the massive up to 6x6-sized symbols that can slam down on any given spin.

This keeps the base game dynamic and interesting, at least to a certain extent, and everything is accompanied by an atmospheric Morricone-inspired soundtrack. You get 3 unique bonus rounds in this sequel, as compared to 2 in the original game, and the 9,872x potential has been more than doubled. The volatility has increased a bit also, naturally, and high rollers will surely prefer this release over the first game.

Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox Slot Features

You’re guaranteed a gigablox between size 2x2 and 6x6 per spin, and the gigablox symbol breaks down to regular sized 1x1 symbols when part of a win. The premium symbols pay between 2 and 4 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Wild pays 5x your stake for the same. The wild symbol also steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins.

There are 3 types of scatter symbols in this game, and these are the red Train Robber scatter, the yellow Gunslinger scatter and the green Bad Boy scatter. You can land only one scatter type on any given spin, and you need at least 6 in view to trigger the corresponding bonus round.

The Train Robber Bonus Round comes with a number of free spins equal to the number of triggering red scatters. You get 3 train wagons per spin, and these contain gold, silver or note prizes of 10x, 5x and 2x, respectively. You can also get a dynamite that’s added to the Dynamite Trail, and a completed trail awards 4 silver safe prizes or the gold safe prize. You need 2 dynamites to get up to 30x from the silver safes, while 5 dynamites crack the gold safe for prizes up to 200x your stake.

The Gunslinger Bonus Round gives you a number of shots equal to the number of triggering yellow scatters. You will then choose between a low or high volatility gun, and the low volatility gun comes with multipliers of x1, x2, x2, x3, x3 or x4. The high volatility gun, however, comes with 5 multipliers of x1 and a single x10 multiplier. Each shot selects a prize and a multiplier that boosts the prize, and all prizes are summed up in the end.

The Bad Boy Bonus Round awards the same number of free spins as the number of triggering green scatters. The grid is expanded by +1 extra row and +15 extra paylines when you win, and if a new win is revealed on the expanded grid you win +2 extra spins. The grid can grow to 6x8 in size, and it maxes out with 100 paylines. You get at least 1 gigablox per free spin in this round.

If you want to increase your bonus round chances, you can activate the Golden Bet option between base game spins. This will cost you 50 % more per spin, but neither the paytable, nor info section, is specific about what is meant by “greatly” increasing your bonus round chances.

Review Summary

We really enjoyed the Morricone-inspired soundtrack in Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox, and the visuals have been improved a bit from the first release as well. There is still somewhat of a low-budget vibe lingering in the air though, but implementing the tried and tested Gigablox mechanic helps lift the entertainment level in the base game. The cowboy hat dogs are as charming as ever, and the features fit the bill as well.

Being specific about the ante bet benefit is important in our view, and Reflex Gaming missed a spot there. You get 3 unique bonus rounds to look forward to nonetheless, and the grid expansion you get in the Bad Boy round is somewhat innovative. The math model has been beefed up as well in this sequel, with a more solid 9,872x potential, and overall this release caters less to the casual crowd and more to serious gamblers.
