Yggdrasil Gaming
Yggdrasil took the savanna gator from 2020 and dropped it into a rainforest cabinet for the 2021 Deluxe edition, and honestly the swap suits the math better. The 6×4 grid still pumps out 4,096 ways on every spin, but the palette shifts to misty turquoise water, ferns, and a waterfall behind the reels. It's the same crocodile, way more cinematic.
Gigablox is guaranteed each spin. That means at least one oversized 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 block lands somewhere on the grid, and any symbol can show up that way, including wilds, scatters, and the new Upgrade tile. Hit frequency sits around 22.8%, which is fine for a high-volatility game but you'll feel the gaps between paid spins. Base RTP is the standard 96.0%.
The free spins round is where Deluxe earns the name. You need 5+ Free Spin scatters to trigger, and each one hands you 1 to 3 spins at random, so the entry pool can swing wildly. Once inside, reel 6 starts dropping Upgrade symbols. Collect three and every lowest high-pay symbol on the reels gets bumped up a tier. Stack enough upgrades and your gator, buffalo, and cheetah icons all transform into the Golden Gator super-high, which pays from just 2 of a kind on the leftmost reel. That's the kind of compounding mechanic that turns a quiet bonus into a screen full of gold.
Multiplier Wilds add another layer. They carry values, they substitute for regular symbols, and when two or more land on the same Ways win they multiply against each other rather than just adding up. That's the math that pushes the cap to 10,000x per the API config (some review sites quote 20,000x, probably counting theoretical Upgrade compounding twice).
Don't want to grind? The Buy Bonus runs 60x stake for 5 to 30 spins, and there's also a Free Spins Gamble on entry that lets you risk your spin count for up to 60 total. One small gripe: the random 1-3 spin awards per scatter make bonus length feel inconsistent, and you can absolutely trigger 5 scatters and walk in with 5 spins. Bet range covers 0.20 to 60.00, which keeps it accessible.
