Gigantoonz

After Play’n GO’s iconic Reactoonz shook up the slot scene, what could the studio do next? Could they recapture that lightning in a bottle or was it a one-time wonder? Well, they’re taking a crack at it with Gigantoonz, the latest in the beloved series. This time, they’ve beefed up the action with an 8×8 grid and the addition of mega symbols, offering a fresher approach while staying true to the core gameplay.

In Gigantoonz, the swirling electric background of Reactoonz 2 returns, but the layout is cleaner and more organized, with the cluster meter on the left and the Quantumeter on the right. Wins form when clusters of at least 6 matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. Gigantoonz retains its signature cascading mechanic: winning clusters disappear, making room for new symbols to fall. The volatility remains sky-high with a solid 10/10 rating, while the RTP sits at 96.25%. Playable from 20 p/c to $/€100 per spin, the charming alien crew offers payouts ranging from 5x to 1,250x for clusters of 30+ symbols.

Special Features of Gigantoonz

The game scales back the complexity of Reactoonz 2 while adding new twists. Mega Symbols, Quantum Wilds, and the Quantumeter’s four modifiers offer plenty of excitement:

• Mega Symbols: These big fellas can land in sizes up to 7×7, counting as one symbol but holding a random cluster value up to 13. When a Mega Symbol wins, it leaves behind a wild, and if it can’t drop down, it fills the space below with smaller versions.
• Quantum Wilds: On non-winning spins, 5-10 Quantum Wilds can randomly appear, replacing all other symbols.
• Quantumeter: Each winning symbol fills the Quantumeter by one charge, while Mega Symbols add their cluster value. Once charged, the Quantumeter unleashes these modifiers:
• Disintegration: Collect 25 charges to remove four randomly chosen symbols from the grid.
• Metamorphosis: With 50 charges, this modifier transforms all instances of a symbol (including Mega Symbols) into a different symbol.
• Radiation: Collect 75 charges to add 1-4 Mega Symbols and 2-5 Quantum Wilds.
• Gargantoonz: At 100 charges, Mega Symbols transform into Mega Gargantoonz. At least 3 appear, alongside smaller Gargantoonz, before breaking down into 1×1 sizes for a second chance at big wins.

Final Verdict

Despite not entirely dethroning the original, Gigantoonz brings a simpler, more streamlined gameplay experience compared to Reactoonz 2. The Mega Symbols add a fresh dynamic, and the progression through the Quantumeter offers engaging feature triggers, especially at the fourth level with the Mega Gargantoonz mayhem.
