Set in a little traditional Japanese store the reels can range from 2x2 up to 6x6 blocks. Yggdrasil released Lucky Neko on the 24.07.2020 and designed the slot to be of medium volatility.

Bonuses and Features
As the slot has many aspects to it which symbolise good wealth and luck, Yggdrasil ensures to add in some fun features to help you along the way. Lucky Neko: Gigablox contains the following features:
- Lucky Neko
- Gigablox
- Free Spins
Gigablox
If the Gigablox feature is triggered it has the ability to synchronise at least one set of reels on each spin which essentially can expand the blocks on that specific reel. The minimum is 2x2 a reel, although this can expand up to 4x4 in the base game and 6x6 in the free spins feature. If your luck is in then you can even land multiple block reels per spin during the feature.
Lucky Neko
Japan is known for suffering from earthquakes and that even applies in this slot game. If the little Japanese shop begins to shake try and follow the Maneki-Neko cat to the temple where you will be awarded free spins.
Although the Lucky Neko cat can lead you to the temple of Free spins its main ability in this feature is activating the Gigabloc where massive blocks land on the reels. If the free spins round is triggered from this feature, the Gigabloxs have the ability to expand further.
Free Spins
Triggering the free spin round requires you to land 5 or more scatter symbols on the reels. During the feature, if more scatter symbols land on the reels you will be awarded an additional spin for each.
When the free spin round begins a symbol at random will be chosen to be blessed. The blessed symbol will come attached with a 5x multiplier for the duration of the feature.
As the block has the ability to expand up to 6x6 during the free spins, imagine the amounts you could win if it happened to be the blessed symbol with a 5x multiplier attached to it!
Over Verdict on Lucky Neko: Gigablox
Although we see many Asian themed slots entering out casinos recently, it has to be said that Yggdrasil did a wonderful job to think outside the box and use innovative thought to create and design this slot.
Not only is it beautifully designed with top quality graphics, the use of traditional Japanese culture has been subtly but effectively added to the casino game, making it a delight to play.
As one of the first online slot games to feature the Gigablox feature we were intrigued to see how this would work and it was a joyful experience, which added to the fun factor of the game.
Overall, Lucky Neko: Gigablox is a breath of fresh air and worth checking out and can be enjoyed at Casino Friday.
