It seems like time is speeding up, yet it doesn’t feel that long since the original Golden Fish Tank was released in 2016. In the sequel, Golden Fish Tank 2 Gigablox, Yggdrasil appears to have slightly toned down the visual experience. Despite this, the game retains its Pixar-like charm, vibrant colors, and relaxing atmosphere. The most significant addition is the Gigablox symbols, which can land as large as 4×4 in the base game, and up to 6×6 gigablox are possible in the bonus round using the expanded reels modifier.
The sequel offers six different modifiers from the initial pick’em game, with extra spins being far easier to obtain than more beneficial features like the x2 multiplier. This particular feature is crucial for doubling the 10,000x potential. The Wild symbol replaces all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations and is also the highest value symbol in the game.
The game also features Gigablox symbols sized 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4, and these count as 1×1 symbols when part of a win. A partially visible Treasure Chest gives a prize, with bubbles moving across the screen until only one bubble remains, revealing a cash prize worth between 2 and 500 x your stake.
The Bonus Round is activated when you land five or more scatters anywhere in view, and you get as many free spins as the triggering scatters. You also receive a random number of feature picks, which can be increased with the Golden Bet active, which costs 20% extra per spin.
Non-UK players can use the Bonus Buy feature, which comes with two options. You get 5 to 16 free spins for 60x your stake, or you can pay 100x your stake for the same, but with the Golden Bet switched on for an extra feature pick.
Golden Fish Tank 2 is a relaxing game from Yggdrasil with a pleasant vibe, similar to the original. Its vibrant and colorful fish will instantly brighten your mood, and the enhanced math model offers payouts up to 10,000x your stake. The bonus round triggers quite often, but it’s unclear if the Golden Bet pick is worth the extra cost per spin. Despite looking slightly more dated, fans of the original will likely enjoy this sequel.
