Mega Pearl Gigablox

Mega Pearl Gigablox absolutely drips Asian culture from the moment it loads until the curtain is pulled on its pearl-encrusted bonus round. Sights, sounds, and atmosphere are about as Asian as it gets. This is a game designed with a certain appetite in mind, and the Asian market should be in slots Nirvana when firing up Mega Pearl Gigablox. To achieve this goal, however, ReelPlay has pulled out a number of cliches, meaning you won't see much here that you haven't seen before from a purely graphical perspective. The scenery is very familiar though quite pretty for what it is, and the soundtrack fits like a charm too. On the gaming side of things, the story is just as generic as the choice of visuals. Gigablox chugs along in the base game and might have benefited from a side modifier to help keep things interesting. Yggdrasil's mechanic does hold its own quite well, and its random nature keeps you on your toes to an extent, but a little something extra mixing things up wouldn't have hurt. The same can be said about the bonus round, too. What it does is okay - land pearls and hope they create Megapearls to level up their value. Again, a little something more wouldn't have hurt the game's appeal. The relative basicness doesn't hold back Mega Pearl Gigablox's potential, though, which tops out at16,297x the bet. Add it all up, and you've got an ideal game for Asian-themed players looking for a low volatile yet high potential game with straightforward gameplay and cosy audio-visuals. Of course, anyone not in that category will find it tough to extract much joy from Mega Pearl Gigablox. For us, the standard looks, feels, and relatively basic features made Mega Pearl Gigablox more a soggy lone wonton of a game than an Asian feast.
