Hunters Moon GigaBlox

Oversized symbol blocks up to six rows and six columns tall are the calling card of Hunters Moon GigaBlox, Yggdrasil's Gigablox engine handed to studio partner Bulletproof Games for a dark fantasy release set in a moonlit, rune-covered forest. A lone huntress and a pack of wolves populate reels styled with glowing orbs and ancient trees, giving the game a nocturnal, gothic tone throughout.

Buying straight into the free spins round is possible on supported platforms, instantly awarding the bonus with every base mechanic left running. Reaching it the ordinary way means landing five or more bonus symbols, which arrive only by way of the sliding bonus reel positioned above the main 6x6 grid — a seventh row that steps one column to the left each spin and can turn positions on reels two through five into wilds or further bonus symbols as it passes over them. Once triggered, the free spins hand out a spin for every bonus symbol that hit, capped at 36, and the bonus reel works harder during the round itself, so wilds and bonus symbols recur more often than they do in the base game; extra bonus symbols along the way add to the spin total instead of restarting it.

Wins on the main grid come from matching symbols across 50 fixed paylines running left to right, with the Gigablox blocks breaking down into their component symbols the instant they land in a winning combination — a single 4x4 block, for instance, counts as sixteen matching symbols at once, and multipliers built during the free spins scale with however large those blocks and the transformed wilds happen to be.

Betting runs from 0.20 to 100 per spin on a high-volatility setup returning 95% RTP, with 5,000 times the bet standing as the maximum payout. The combination of a slow-building bonus reel feeding a grid that can turn any spin into a wall of matching blocks gives Hunters Moon GigaBlox a session shape defined by long stretches waiting for the top reel to line up, punctuated by occasional spins where several big blocks land together.
