Slot games created by Yggdrasil Gaming are usually fine looking affairs and Big Blox maintains that tradition - the reels are set within a cartoon-style temple building made up of skulls. The reels include lower value playing card symbols which have also been shaped into skulls.
They're joined by a quartet of brightly coloured and a slightly grotesque masks which maintain the skull theme. The top payer here is the red and yellow skull mask which awards payouts of 30, 150 or 400 times your line bet if you're lucky enough to land 3, 4 or 5 symbol combination.
It's worth pointing out here that Big Blox uses the 243 ways to win game engine rather than traditional paylines. Winning combinations are formed by landing the same symbol on adjacent reels.
There's little to report as far as features go - there are no free spins, cash trails or pick me extras. There's a little, or perhaps that should be not so little, something on offer on each spin though. A giant supersized symbol is dropped onto the reels every time you play.
This can be anything from a 2x2 square right up to an enormous 5x3 symbol which covers up all the reels with 1 giant symbol! Better still of course, is if that giant symbol is the wild. Manage to find a full 5x3 wild symbol and the coins can really start to fly.
This might not be the best designed Yggdrasil Gaming game we've played but the visual standards remain high - likewise, the unique soundtrack which certainly helps build the unusual theme.
A slot lacking in free spins or any other extras may sound a little dull - thankfully, the presence of the giant supersized symbols did more than enough to maintain our interest. Yggdrasil Gaming like to keep innovating both in the look and gameplay on offer in their slots and Big Blox is certainly a little different.
Super simple to play yet offer maximum payouts of some 3,888 times your stake, Big Blox offers a nice combination of accessibility and huge wins. The theme may be a little creepy but this is a jungle adventure well worth undertaking. If you like jungle themed games, Microgaming’s Jungle Jim El Dorado is a great choice.
