Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox Slot Information

Players of the previous version of this dog escapade will recognize the three main characters in the shape of gangster dogs. The surrounding is pretty similar, too, with Western wooden townhouses in the background. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 of the same symbols on any of the 40 paylines, going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left. The reels can grow up to 8 rows high in the Bad Boy Bonus free spins, giving you 100 paylines. You will also be aware of the Gigablox mechanic, creating symbols up to 6X6, which will split to normal size symbols before payout. Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox is available on desktops, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols in the Western town are the playing card suits clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts. Moving up to the more valuable stuff, we find the high-paying hat, revolver, sheriff badge, and game logo. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols but not the 3 Scatter Symbols, depicted by the dogs Bad Boy, Gunslinger, and Train Robber.

Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox?

You can win up to 9872X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox?

The features are Gigablox, Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbols, Golden Bet, Train Robber Bonus, Gunslinger Bonus, and Bad Boy Bonus.

Gigablox

The Gigablox mechanic can randomly create symbols from 2X2 to 6X6. Whenever a Gigablox is part of a win, it's broken down to regular symbols before the payout. Hence, a 3X3 Gigablox equals 9 symbols of the same kind.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol says "wild" in yellow and orange letters. It substitutes all symbols except the 3 scatters.

Scatter Symbols

There are 3 Scatter Symbols represented by the three dogs. Landing 6 or more activates that dog's unique feature. Only one kind of scatter can land at the same time.

Golden Bet

You can raise the bet by 50% to increase the chances of activating the bonus features. Wins are paid according to the base bet.

Train Robber Bonus

Landing 6 red Train Robber Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Train Robber Bonus. This is a free spins feature, and the player is awarded the same amount of spins as the number of triggering scatters. Forget regular reels, though; each spin delivers three train wagons, each containing gold, silver, notes, dynamites, or blanks. The gold, silver, and notes are worth 10X, 5X, and 2X the bet. 

The dynamites are randomly added to one of 5 dynamite trails that can blow up one of 5 safes. There are 4 silver safes that require 2 dynamites to open and 1 golden safe, of which you need 5 dynamites to blow up. The silver safes pay mystery prizes up to 30X the bet, and the golden safe awards up to 200X the bet. One safe can only be opened once in the feature.

Gunslinger Bonus

Landing 6 or more of the cigar-smoking Gunslinger dog triggers the Gunslinger Bonus. When the feature starts, the player can choose between a lower and higher volatility gun. The first one has X1, X2, X2, X3, X3, and X4 multipliers in its chamber. The other one has five X1 multipliers and one X10 multiplier. You have the same number of shots as the number of scatters that triggered the feature. A value and one of the multipliers will be chosen on each shot. The wins are cumulative and paid to the player when all shots are finished.

Bad Boy Bonus

Landing 6 or more of the green Bad Boy scatter triggers the Bad Boy Bonus. This is a free spins feature that can expand the grid. The player is awarded as many spins as the number of scatters that triggered the feature. If a win occurs, the reels are expanded by 1 row, adding 15 extra paylines. Any new win made on the extra paylines awards 2 extra free spins. The grid can grow 4 rows to a total of 8 rows, resulting in 100 paylines. The feature is over when the player runs out of spins.

Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox Slot Conclusion

These Dawgs may be desperate, but they're still kind of cute, to be honest. For some reason, they make us think of The Dog House Megaways, which actually is a completely different game. There are some more resemblances than the dog main characters, though. You can, in both games, choose to play a bonus feature with lower or higher volatility. In Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox, we're talking about the Gunslinger bonus, where you either have a chamber of multipliers between 1X and 4X or a chamber containing all 1X multipliers except one 10X multiplier. Do you dare to go for the second option?

Each dog represents their own feature, just like in the first Desperate Dawgs game. The Gunslinger and Train Robber bonuses have innovative moves, while the Bad Boy bonus is more of a straight-up free spins session. We like them all, though, and it might be that the Bad Boy is the best one. The RTP of 95.5% is better than in the previous game but, unfortunately, still a bit under the average slot. This game should attract many players, from those who love Western themes to animal lovers. The max win of 9872X the bet is also pretty good for a slot with medium/high volatility.

Desperate Dawgs 2 Gigablox from Reflex Gaming takes the player for a trip to the Wild West, where three gangster dogs can trigger their own bonus feature.
