Game Overview

Are most slots fans avid anglers as well? Considering how many fishing-themed slots you’ll find in online casino lobbies, you’d have to think so. Actually, having thought about it, I can see why fishing fans would also enjoy slot games. When sitting on a river bank waiting for a fish to bite, what is there to do other than spin some slot reels on your smartphone or tablet? It is now making perfect sense! Well, if you’re one of those who love to hook winnings as well as fish, I have yet another fishing-themed slot for you to cast your eyes over. 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox is the third in the 4 Fantastic Fish series from 4ThePlayer, and the slot contains 6 reels with up to 46,656 ways to win, an RTP of 96%, and a max win of 10,000x the stake.

The Gigablox mechanic has been around for some time now, with a good number of slots now offering the colossal symbols it throws up. On any given spin, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 symbols can land on the reels and potentially create substantial winning combinations. Standard Fish Money symbols can deliver cash prizes of up to 50x the stake, but if you’re lucky enough, you might just hook Big, Super, Mega, or Ultra-sized fish, the latter of which pays the slot’s top payout of 10,000x. Topping off the bonuses on the 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox online slot is a lucrative Hold & Win-style game with unlockable reels and multipliers.

If the above sounds appealing, perhaps I can bait you into spinning the reels of the 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox demo slot below. You can spin for free, use the bonus buy to trigger some features, and generally just get a feel for this slot without worrying about risking your money.

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox paytable

I’ve already touched on the theme of the 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox slot, though it’s hardly difficult to work out judging by its name. It’s such a common theme that I could literally reel off a dozen slots that fall within it and then probably find a dozen more via a quick Google search. Among the most popular are Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza slots and Blueprint’s Fishin’ Frenzy series, but there are plenty more fish in the sea if those do not appeal to you, which you can explore in more detail over on our fishing-themed slots page.

So, back to 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox, and the symbol wins you can reel in. The Smiling Fisherman, who looks like he has just caught a whopper, will deliver a 2.5x your stake payout if landed in a 6-symbol combination. The Cheeky Seagull will bring payouts of 2x for a six of a kind hit, and rounding off the theme-related symbols are the Crab, Starfish, Fishing Rod, and Tackle Box worth 1.5x, 1.2x, 1x, and 1x, respectively, if six match across a payline. The more frequent payouts will come from the low-paying playing card symbols. As always, the Ace is the best of the bunch with a 0.8x max win, the King and Queen will return wins of 0.5x in their largest combinations, and the Jack and Ten are worth 0.4x for a winning combo of six. The trusty Wild symbol is always on hand to step in to complete winning combinations. It can replicate any symbol except the scatter symbol if a winning combination is possible.

I have no issues with the staking options available, as there are 20+ levels ranging from a minimum of €0.10 to a maximum of €80.00 per spin. I can’t see there being too many low or high rollers that struggle to find a bet size to play at within that range.

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox Slot Base Game

Thanks to the Gigablox symbols that can land on the reels in sizes between 2×2 and 5×5, it is possible for spins to offer as many as 46,656 ways to win. To ensure you always know how many ways to win are active on a spin, 4ThePlayer gives you that information at the top right of the screen. As for creating winning combinations, for the most part, you need to line up 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel. The exception is the smiling fisherman symbol, which requires 2 or more.

Gigablox Symbols

Gigablox symbols are larger versions of the regular symbols that can land on the reels. They can appear as 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, or even humungous 5×5 symbols that take up most of the reels. For the purpose of calculating wins, all Gigablox symbols are broken down into 1×1-sized symbols.

Fish Money Symbols

If you’ve played many of the other fishing-themed slots doing the rounds at online casinos, you’ve likely come across Fish Money symbols. They return once again on 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox and can hold cash prizes ranging from 0.1x to 50x the bet. You receive those cash prizes if you line up three or more fish symbols on consecutive reels starting from the first reel.

Big Game Fish Symbols

Size matters, at least, it does when fishing. The bigger the catch, the bigger the rewards and, more importantly, the bigger the bragging rights. There are four Gigablox Big Game Fish symbols that can land on the reels and will pay as part of a Fish Symbol win.

Big: 2×2 in size, the Big fish is worth 100x the stake.

Super: This one lands in a 3×3 configuration and pays 450x the stake as part of a Fish symbol win.

Mega: Anyone lucky to land a 4×4 Mega fish as part of a fish symbol combination will hook a 2,000x payout.

Ultra: If an Ultra Fish symbol hits the reels, you’re looking at a max 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox slot payout of 10,000x the stake.

Giant Squid Bonus

A Giant Squid can appear randomly as you chase your wins on the 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox slot, giving you one of four modifiers.

Squid Reveal: The giant squid will transform seaweed symbols into the same regular paying symbol, guaranteeing a win.

Giga Summon: The Squid can also summon a giant Gigablox symbol that is at least 4×4 in size.

Squid Swap: If in a generous mood, the squid will arrange some of the symbols on the reels to create a winning combination.

Squid Shuffle: The giant squid can also shuffle the reels to ensure a winning combination.

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox Slot Bonus Features

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox free spins feature

As you can see, the base game already offers a ton of entertainment via those features and modifiers. However, the ultimate aim when playing any slot is to trigger the main bonus. This is done on 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox when 3 or more respin scatter symbols land across the reels on a spin.

Fishing Respins Bonus

When the Fishing Respins Bonus triggers, the reels the triggering scatter symbols landed will unlock. If any Fish symbols were on those reels during the triggering spin, they will carry over into the bonus game. The first and last position on each reel will also remain locked. You receive 3 re-spins of the reels, and as with most Hold & Win style bonus games, those re-spins reset each time a new symbol lands in a vacant position. You can unlock the locked reels whenever respin scatter symbols land upon them.

Shark Feature

If the respins fill all positions on one of the reels, a shark swims up the reel, collecting all the Fish symbol values. Once collected, a 2x multiplier is applied to the combined value of those prizes and the value is assigned to a single position on that reel. The remaining positions return to an open state, allowing further symbols to land. The Shark also unlocks the first and last position of the reel, which, as you’ll notice, have multiplier values. If Fish symbols land in those positions, the multipliers apply to their value.

Bonus Buy

The Buy Bonus feature is only in regions that allow it but will give you the option of purchasing the Respin Bonus or a spin with a guaranteed 4×4 or 5×5 GigaBlox symbol. The former will cost you 80x your current bet, while the latter will set you back 150x.

Pros

Plenty of bonus features and modifiers.
The betting range should cater to most.

Cons

Yet another fishing-themed slot.

4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox Slot Review Final Thoughts

I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of Gigablox slots, but 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox is up there with the best I’ve played. It’s no 90k Yeti Gigablox with a potential 90,000x max win, my favourite Gigablox slot. However, it has some engaging bonus features, is good on the eye, and is surprisingly addictive.
