Big Blox

Big Blox sets the reels and the game play in the middle of some African jungle, with main symbols of African masks or totems in various shapes and sizes. We’re not sure how the designers came up with this theme, but it’s interesting to see something new and out of the ordinary for a change.

 

What’s interesting to see is that the symbols have a funny cartoon tone attached and you can notice different facial expressions on them. Some of them are pretty goofy so you can’t help smiling as they land on the reels.

 

For a pokie game with such a theme we would expect some tribal background music with drums banging in the background, but surprisingly in the background you can hear a modern hip melody, with an intro from a top hit song.

 

The animations are decent, while the symbol details are on a high level. Overall Big Blox seems like a visually attractive game, so you will instantly be drawn to spin the reels for real cash.

 

Developers

 

Big Blox is the latest project coming from Yggdrasil Gaming. Most of us are familiar with the games from this provider and we are happy to see a new pokie, adding volume to their portfolio.

 

In Yggdrasil Gaming it’s not all about quantity but it’s more about the quality of their games. Their designers are constantly working on new ideas and they always manage to come up with new, original themes and features in their pokie releases. This is why they are slowly taking over a bigger share of the market and acquiring more loyal players on a daily basis.

 

How to Play

Big Blox has a modern design with 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. This design is used in many new video pokie games, making way for a big number of winning combinations to happen. The bet levels in Big Blox can go from the minimum $0.25 up to the maximum of $100 per spin.

 

The bet size is controlled by adjusting the coin size, so playing on the maximum bet possible will set the coin size on a high $4 per spin. High roller players can use the Max Bet button for instant play on the maximum possible bet, while players who like long sessions can use the Auto play button for an indefinite number of spins at once.

 

Special Features

 

Big Blox is one of the few video pokie games coming from Yggdrasil Gaming that doesn’t have a classic bonus feature installed. Even so players have a chance for some big wins to happen thanks to the Big Blox feature, that occurs on every spin.

 

The name Big Blox comes from the Big Blocks of symbols that are added to the reels. In every spin a group of identical symbols will be added to the reels covering from 2 x2 up to 5 x 3 positions on the reels. This means that you can end up with a full screen of identical symbols on the screen and a guaranteed big win, because of the 243 ways to win design.

 

What’s best about the Big Blox feature is the fact that the wild symbol can also come as a Big Blox, so you can win a full screen of wilds and the maximum payout possible. This feature is very similar to the colossal symbols in Spinata Grande or the linked reels on Twin Spin by NetEnt. If you’ve played those popular games, you get the general idea on how the Big Blox feature works.

 

Maximums Payout

 

Even though there are no classic bonus features installed in Big Blox, it doesn’t mean that you cannot win big. Big Blox has a maximum payout of 3,888 x total bet in a single spin, so this is a payout worth winning. This win can come from a Big Blox feature with the wild symbol covering the full 5 x 3 positions on the screen.

 

Summary

 

Big Blox looks like a fun, goofy game to play, with a fast game play and a cartoon theme, but it is actually a high variance pokie from Yggdrasil Gaming.

 

The Big Blox feature can be very rewarding because of the 243 ways to win and the chance for a full screen of identical symbols. The maximum payout of 3,888 x total bet is something you would definitely want to see on the reels of Big Blox.
