Today we are going to do a detailed review of the Gargantoonz slot. We will list all the additional features and possible combinations. We will also separately discuss the technical specifications of the slot.

Backstory

In the distant future, humanity learned to surpass the speed of light and began to travel to other galaxies. On the distant planet Suricus, mysterious creatures were discovered and nicknamed Gargantoons. They had no bodies and appeared as heads of various colors and shapes.

The best minds on Earth traveled to Suricus to study these alien beings. Within the first days, it was discovered that the bodies of Gargantoons contained many useful and valuable substances. With their help, a real scientific breakthrough could be made. But to do this, a large number of local inhabitants needed to be captured.

In Gargantoonz, you can find yourself on this mysterious planet and help the scientists. In gratitude, they will reward you with a solid win.

Game Design

The Gargantoonz slot is designed in a cosmic setting, where mysterious creatures live in the middle of the endless universe. The background shows a starry sky. The game field is located in the center. Almost all symbols are drawn as alien creatures.

To the right of the reels is an image of a sleeping Gargantoon and a counter of symbols involved in the winning combination. On the left, the developers placed a widget displaying all wins per spin.

The control panel is located below the game field. Most of it is occupied by buttons for adjusting the bet. Buttons for spinning and autoplay are located on the right.

When a winning combination appears on the field, the symbols pop, and the win value is displayed on the screen.

Since the slot has a large number of possible combinations, we recommend opening the help menu before playing. This can be done via the large button with the letter “i.” The opened menu will provide a clear overview of Gargantoonz, listing all possible wins and features.

Bonus Game

The developers implemented the Quantum Wilds function. It triggers randomly during a losing spin. During it, from 4 to 8 Wilds appear in random positions on the field.

Gargantoonz does not have a full-fledged bonus game. However, the developers added a range of additional features presented here as different experiments. To trigger an experiment, at least 20 symbols must be involved in winning combinations during a single spin.

After that, the slot launches one of three random experiments. It applies to the game field. If at least 20 symbols participate in winning combinations again, one of the two remaining experiments is triggered. The third is launched if 20 images participate again in combinations.

When the gambler activates all three experiments, the Gargantoon symbol appearance function is launched. During it, eight Wild Gargantoon symbols with a winning multiplier appear on the field. These symbols occupy one cell each. Then winning combinations are formed and disappear.

The Gargantoon symbol multiplier increases by one if 40 symbols participate in winning combinations during the experiment. The maximum multiplier is x4.

When there are no winning combinations left on the field, the Gargantoons merge. Four 2×2 Wild symbols remain on the reels. After the next winning combination, Gargantoons merge again. In the end, two 3×3 Wild symbols remain on the reels.

After the Gargantoon completes three stages, all winnings from formed combinations are summed and credited to the balance.

Now let’s look at each experiment played before the Gargantoon appears separately:

• Gamma Ray Burst – from 7 to 9 Wilds appear on the field; after combinations are formed, they disappear along with other symbols.
• Black Hole – from 4 to 6 Wilds appear on the reels; after winning combinations disappear, they vanish and remove all symbols located nearby.
• Supernova – from 3 to 5 Wilds appear on the field; after winning combinations disappear, they remain on screen, shift diagonally, and participate in forming others.

Overview of Technical Specifications

The game field in Gargantoonz is quite large. It is formatted as 7×7. The slot does not have paylines to determine combinations. The gambler wins if at least five identical symbols appear in adjacent positions, horizontally or vertically. Then the cluster disappears, and new symbols fall in its place. If another winning combination appears, the process repeats.

The return to player (RTP) in Gargantoonz can vary from 84.2% to 96.2%. The max win is quite large: 7000x. The bet during spins can be changed from 0.1 up to 100 coins.

Gargantoonz has high volatility, so even within one spin, a gambler can achieve a big win.
