Yggdrasil has once again pushed the boundaries of online slot games with Lucky Apocalypse GigaBlox, an exciting new release that combines the charm of St. Patrick’s Day with a thrilling zombie apocalypse theme. In this action-packed slot, players join Ryan, the leprechaun protagonist, as he takes on hordes of the undead in a fight for survival. The 6×5 reel matrix is packed with innovative features, including a pays-anywhere system, avalanche wins, and the addition of Yggdrasil’s proprietary Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), GigaBlox, which enhances the excitement with large symbols that can create winning combinations.

A twist on traditional St. Patrick’s Day slots:

Lucky Apocalypse is a radical departure from typical St. Patrick’s Day-themed slots. While previous games have featured cheerful leprechauns and luck-filled settings, this time Ryan finds himself in the midst of a zombie-infested city, far from the peaceful Irish landscapes. As a more intense character than before, Ryan has traded in his musical instruments for a gun, preparing to defend humanity against the apocalypse.

The game’s base mechanic revolves around forming wins by landing at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid. Once a winning combination occurs, the symbols are removed, and new ones avalanche into place, offering another chance to win. This continuous cycle of winning and re-triggering, known as avalanche wins, keeps players on the edge of their seats as they progress through the game’s features.

One of the standout features of Lucky Apocalypse is the GigaBlox system. This feature allows large, block-like symbols to land on the reels, increasing the chances of hitting winning combinations. The GigaBlox symbols can appear in sizes of 2×2, 3×3, or even 4×4, with the larger symbols adding significant value to a spin. This system, combined with the avalanche mechanics, creates a dynamic and fast-paced gameplay experience.

Above the reels, a progress bar tracks each successive avalanche win. Each time a player wins, the progress bar advances, unlocking one of three exciting features. After four consecutive avalanche wins, a random GigaBlox symbol appears on the reels. After six wins, the game adds wild symbols to the grid, enhancing the chances of hitting more combinations. The ultimate reward comes after nine consecutive wins, which triggers the coveted free spins feature.

Free spins and multipliers galore:

Landing four or more scatter symbols or completing the progress bar will trigger the free spins round, where things get even more thrilling. During this round, a guaranteed GigaBlox symbol lands on every spin, making each spin packed with potential. The progress bar during free spins transforms into a multiplier counter, where the multiplier increases with each avalanche win, ultimately reaching up to a massive 50x.

In addition to the multipliers, players can retrigger the free spins feature by landing three or more scatters during the bonus round, adding another eight free spins and a cash prize. This ensures that the action remains relentless throughout the entire bonus session.

To keep things even more unpredictable, Lucky Apocalypse includes several random features that can trigger during both the base game and the free spins round. These include the Zombie Horde, where non-winning symbols are transformed into high-paying symbols, Lucky GigaBlox, which converts non-winning symbols into a random 2×2 GigaBlox symbol, and Shamrock Shootout, where non-paying symbols become part of a winning combination.

For players eager to jump straight into the action, the game also offers a bonus buy feature. For a cost of 100x the bet, players can purchase direct access to the bonus round, bypassing the base game entirely.

Tomasz Kowalik, Head of Games Production at Yggdrasil, shared his excitement about the game, stating in the company’s press release: “We’ve taken a different approach to the usual St Patrick’s celebrations, with a zombie-themed, action-packed slot that puts a leprechaun with attitude at centre stage.”

With a high volatility math model, a 96% RTP, and the potential for huge wins of up to 6,260x the bet, Lucky Apocalypse is sure to be a hit among players looking for a slot that offers both thrilling gameplay and impressive rewards.
