Fatz’s Diner Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. These are shown as records and substitute for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from bonus scatters or other special symbols.
Gigablox. A mechanic from Yggdrasil themselves, it means that on each spin, 2-5 reels can merge together to form a giant Gigablox reel. These function like normal, individual symbols.
Expand and Respin. On each reel you can land 1 expand and respin symbol, but more than one in total on a single spin. A respin is awarded if they do land, where the Gigareel is expanded by 1 reel towards the position of the symbol itself. That means if there are multiple on a single spin, the reel can expand significantly. More can also land during the respin to have a similar effect.
Free Spins Bonus. If you land 5 or more bonus scatter symbols on a single spin, you’ll get 5 free spins plus the number scatters, so at least 10 essentially. During these, each expand and respin symbol that land sis collected. Additionally, a multiplier if applied to the hippo symbol, the highest paying symbol in the game. It starts at 3x and increases by another 3 every time the hippo is part of a win. The multiplier doesn’t reset during the free spins bonus, and you can also win more free spins by landing more bonus symbols, with each 1 giving you 1 extra free spin. Once you collect 3 expand and respin symbols, the minimum Gigareel size becomes 3. Once you collect 6, it becomes 4 and once you collect 9 it becomes 5. You can’t collect any more symbols after this.
Bonus Buy. This isn’t available in the U.K., but some players may be able to buy the bonus for 100x your stake, giving you 10-30 free spins. You can also pay 600x your stake to be given 30 free spins and start the hippo multiplier at 9x.
Conclusion
Fatz’s Diner slot from Yggdrasil a charming-looking game with a bit of a throwback to shows like Happy Days, but with an animal twist of course. Gigablox can work quite well in this slot, with a nice respin and expand feature even in the base game, and collecting these will increase the minimum size it can take. Hippos are your best bet to getting big wins as they build up multipliers, and in total you can win up to 4,000x your stake. Overall, an impressive slot that I enjoyed playing.
