Notre-Dame Tales Slot by Yggdrasil 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Notre-Dame Tales Review

The world famous gothic cathedral in Paris was famously ravaged by a fire in 2019, but has since undergone extensive restoration. This iconic building played a central part in Victor Hugo’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’, which Notre-Dame Tales from Yggdrasil seems somewhat inspired by. The semi-transparent reels are placed in front of the majestic cathedral, with town folks flocking around to see what’s going on.

The visuals are so stunning that you might just forgive Yggdrasil for making a watered down reskin of Golden Fish Tank 2 Gigablox, as Notre-Dame Tales comes with a significantly lower potential of 3,730x your stake. The gameplay is the same, however, centered around Gigablox and instant cash prize treasure chests that can also land you free spins. The bonus round comes with the same upgrade pick system as before, where up to 6 enhancers can beef up the feature and hopefully lead to larger wins.

Notre-Dame Tales Slot Features

The Golden Bet feature can be activated between base game spins, and it will cost you 20 % more per spin to keep it on. The benefit is that you get 1 extra upgrade pick when the bonus round triggers. The Gigablox symbols will be between size 2x2 and 4x4 in the base game, and all symbols can appear as gigablox. The premium pay symbols award between 6 and 12 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and Wilds step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. Wilds pay 20x your stake should you land 6 on the same payline.

You can land Treasure Chests on reel 6 in all stages of the game, and these award an instant cash prize of 2 to 500 x your stake, or 5, 9, or 16 free spins. You can win the same cash prizes in the bonus round, or 1, 2, 3, or 5 extra free spins. The Chests can also land as Gigablox, and this usually means that you win a larger prize.

The Bonus Round can also trigger from 5+ scatters in view, and you get the same number of free spins as you landed triggering scatters. In addition, you get between 3 and 7 upgrade picks up front. You will then pick and choose from different potions, and this reveals the following upgrades to bring with you into the bonus round:

• Wild High - replaces 1 premium symbol with a wild.
• x2 Multiplier - boosts all wins by x2.
• Expanded Reels - expands the grid to 6x6 with 40 paylines.
• Extra Wild - awards 1 to 2 wilds randomly placed per spin.
• High Stacks - super stacks 1 premium symbol.
• Extra Free Spins - awards 1 to 5 extra spins.

You get the option of gambling for 1 extra upgrade pick before the pick screen is presented, but you risk losing the whole feature if you lose this gamble. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round via the Bonus Buy button. The regular bonus round trigger costs 60x your stake, while the golden bet option with +1 extra pick will set you back 100x your stake. Beware that the bonus buy stake does not automatically match your base game stake.

You get to see a few smaller wins in the base game, before we purchase the top-tier bonus round at 0:41 into the 3:37-minute highlights video. We got 6 free spins and 4 picks, but we still decided to gamble for 1 extra pick. You can see for yourself what kind of upgrades we got, as well as how we fared, by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Notre-Dame Tales Gigablox comes with highly immersive audiovisuals, and the famous cathedral makes for an impressive backdrop as the sun is setting. Yggdrasil proves that they take their reskin jobs seriously at least, as this is close to being a reskin of Golden Fish Tank 2 Gigablox. The only difference is that Notre-Dame Tales Gigablox comes with a far lower potential, clocking in at 3,730x instead of 10,000x your stake. This is a strange downgrade for an otherwise solid game, and cynics might wanna go play with the fishes instead.

If you can look past that, however, and you’re into the theme, Notre-Dame Tales Gigablox will take you for a highly entertaining ride. The treasure chest instant cash prize system keeps the tension going each time they appear, as you never know if they will reveal a larger prize or the bonus round. Picking extras for the feature is always fun, but be careful with the gamble option. The feature itself plays out inside Notre-Dame, and this is an atmospheric game that we are sure certain players will appreciate.
