Fatz's Diner

Animal staff run the show at Yggdrasil Gaming's Fatz's Diner, a 1950s-style American diner slot released in October 2023 where a hippo, lion, goat, monkey and crocodile wait tables instead of humans. Checkerboard flooring, warm lighting and a rocking jukebox soundtrack set the scene, and the food on offer — meat, foliage, bananas and berries — doubles as the four lower-value symbols on the reels.

The game runs on a 5-reel grid with 40 ways to win, and matching symbols connect from reel one outward rather than sitting on fixed lines. A five-of-a-kind combination of the animal premiums pays between 1x and 4x the stake, while the food symbols top out lower at 0.8x for the same combination. A record-shaped wild substitutes for every paying symbol on the board.

Gigablox drives most of what happens between spins: on any given spin, two to five adjacent reels can merge into a single oversized Gigablox column, forming blocks anywhere from 2x2 up to the full 5x5 size, and every symbol besides the Expand & Respin icon is eligible to land this way. When an Expand & Respin symbol does appear, it awards a free respin and pushes the current Gigareel outward by one position in its direction; some of these symbols carry their own multiplier and can add further respins and expansion on top.

Landing five or more scatters triggers Free Spins, with the starting count set at five plus however many scatters landed on the triggering spin. Extra scatters during the round add more spins on top of that, and collecting three Expand & Respin symbols increases the smallest Gigareel size allowed for the rest of the round. A separate multiplier attaches to the Hippo, the top-paying symbol, opening at x3 and climbing by 3 every time a Hippo win lands, holding that value until the round ends rather than resetting between spins.

Two Buy Bonus options let players skip straight to the feature: 100x the stake buys 10 to 30 free spins outright, while 600x buys the full 30 spins with the Hippo multiplier already at x9 from the first spin. Across four available RTP settings — 96%, 94%, 90.5% and 86% — the default configuration returns 96% on a high-volatility model, with bets running from 0.20 to 40 and a maximum win of 9,000x the stake.
