Arctic Sorcerer Gigablox Slot Review

Merlin, Gandalf, Voldemort… Sorcerers and wizards are a dime a dozen but what you won’t find often is a wand-waver who is willing to spend some time in the inhospitable Arctic. What a bunch of crybabies.

After all, Charlize Theron – who comes from Africa, might I remind you – was prancing around practically frozen in Snow White and the Huntsman and looking drool-licious to boot.

Not that we’re in for this type of eye candy in Arctic Sorcerer Gigablox slot from Yggdrasil, so let’s hope the money and the action make up for it.

Gameplay

Unlike some other games, where the studios have chosen a title that has nothing to do with what’s on the reels, this one is true to its word. It’s definitely an Arctic environment, and there’s undoubtedly a sorcerer here. And fo sho there are Gigablox on the grid – a fine start, then.

In case you’re new to this whole slot thing, Gigablox are just big-ass symbols (ranging from 2x2 to 5x5 in size) that help increase your win potential. Any symbol can become a Gigablox and at least one will land per spin.

And that’s not the only cool thing going on in Arctic Sorcerer Gigablox slot. It looks spectacular on a mobile phone in either orientation.

As for the stats, we’re looking at 50 fixed paylines here across 6 reels. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.2% and the volatility rate is medium (so expect more frequent, albeit moderate wins). The most you can win on this game is €236,050 – considering that this isn’t a highly-volatile game, that’s a rather generous amount from ReelPlay.

The only fly in the ointment is that crypto players won’t be able to use their currency here.

Features

The Wild symbol can appear during the base game and the Free Spins round. You’ll also see a x2Wild but that one only shows its face during Free Spins, and it doubles all wins where it’s used as a substitute.

As the last point, both Wild variants can replace all other symbols except the Scatter.

ARCTIC BLAST:

An Arctic Blast can happen during both the Free Spins feature and the base game. When this occurs, 1 or more Mystery Gigablox symbols will land. The sorcerer will now turn it/them into one of these symbols: polar bear, wolf, golden gem, blue gem, purple gem, a Scatter, or a Wild.

FREE SPINS:

You’ll need 5 or more Scatters to trigger the Free Spins round (and you can bump this number up by 8 additional spins, too).

Remember those Arctic Blasts? If a Scatter Gigablox lands courtesy of that feature, the massive symbol will split into a 1x1 Scatters – but only when triggering Free Spins. Also, each of these 1x1 Scatters will award between 1 and 3 spins.

If the Arctic Blast yields a Wild Gigablox, the sorcerer will split the symbol into 1x1 Wilds and 1x1-sized 2xWilds (confused much?).

There’s also this thing called a Wild Collection Counter (you’ll see it at the top left of your screen). It’s set to zero at the start of the Free Spins feature, and 2 additional spins will be awarded when you hit 5, 10, 15, and 20 on the Counter.

Performance

Take your tech into the frozen Arctic and the chances are that something will break or stop working. Not so much with Arctic Sorcerer Gigablox slot.

Hundreds of spins were thrown at it during testing, and I didn’t experience any issues with my devices.

Maximum Win

This game’s max win of €236,050 is really good, given the medium volatility rate. Slightly less great is that you’ll need to sustain your betting at €50 if you want a shot at that moolah, as the largest multiplier is 4,721x.

You can always bet from €0.5 upwards if chasing that big win ain’t your thing, or you’re on a budget.

Conclusion

Arctic Sorcerer Gigablox slot has some good things going for it – think: RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., max win, as well as little things such as what happens when you’re inactive for a while.

Instead of timing out and making you reload the game, you’ll get a notification asking you if you wanna stop or continue. Having said all this, I did feel that the following negative was a major stumbling block for me.

You see, I found the game to be rather dull. It took an age before I landed my first Free Spin feature and the rest of the time, I was just spinning the reels and running through my shopping list.

That’s not an ideal way to experience a slot game so, from my perspective, I’ll be giving this one a miss in the future.
