Yggdrasil has published the latest hit from YG Masters partner ReelPlay, with the Asian-themed title, Megapearl Gigablox, powered by the Swedish provider’s GATI technology, and featuring a maximum win potential of up to 16,297x the stake.
Playable on any device, the developer‘s low volatility video slot that incorporates the popular games engagement mechanic (GEM) Gigablox, has a 95.03 percent RTP, while 40 fixed paylines cross a 6-reel, 4-row game grid where winning combinations land. Players will need to hit three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels in order to create a winning line.
Symbols & Paytable:
Distinctly Asian-inspired, dragons wrap around pillars on either side of what looks to be a temple that is set high in the mountains, and where the reels take center stage. Four Chinese characters comprise the low pays and are worth 1.25x the stake for landing six-of-a-kind and higher paying lotus flowers, lanterns, gold coins and gold sycees are worth 2.5 to 5x the bet for the same six-of-a-kind.
Helping that along is the dragon symbol, which serves as the game’s Wild and substitutes for all symbols with the exception of the scatter, while bonus respins are triggered by landing shimmering pearls. And thanks to the Gigablox mechanic, at least one giant symbol is guaranteed on every spin.
Respin Bonus & Buy Bonus:
In the base game, landing at least six pearls on the same spin launches the respins bonus round. When this happens, blocks of pearls can combine to create Mega Pearl symbols.
The bonus spins round starts with three spins, with the respins resetting for each new pearl that lands. Furthermore, if pearl symbols form a square of 2×2 or larger, they combine to create those Mega Pearl symbols, the value of which, is twice that of the sum of the pearl symbols that combine to create it. When there are no more spins or every position is filled with pearl/Megapearl symbols, the bonus round is over.
Also, depending on the region, players can choose to buy the bonus round but it’ll cost them 80 times the stake. After the purchase, the reels spin and six or more of the pearl scatter symbols land to start the feature.
