The richness of China awaits in Yggdrasil release GigaGong GigaBlox™
Yggdrasil, a leading iGaming publisher, invites the world to bask in the splendour of ancient China in its latest release GigaGong GigaBlox™.
The 6-reel, 40 payline slot is set in a captivating land brimming with national treasures and the special symbols encapsulate Yggdrasil’s popular Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) GigaBlox.
At any given time, 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 GigaBlox symbols can land rather than single ones. These are also joined by lucrative Gong symbols and the super wild, represented by a Koi fish.
Super wilds can land anywhere on the matrix and will expand over the entire reel for the current spin. Gong symbols will pay the value of the base stake multiplied by the current global gong multiplier located to the right of the reels.
Should anywhere between six and 10 lotus bonus symbols land on the reels, players will receive 10 free spins. Eleven or more bonus symbols will see the same number of free spins awarded. At the start of the free spins the gong multiplier will start from a random amount and continuously increase by +1.
For every bonus symbol that lands during the free spins, an additional spin is awarded. Additionally, the global gong multiplier does not reset between spins and there is a significantly higher chance of Super Wild and Gong Symbols landing.
Players can opt to buy a bonus for 100x their base stake, immediately triggering 10 free spins. Doing so will also see them receive more Super Wild and Gong symbols than during a standard free spin round.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “There’s a lot of excitement surrounding this release and GigaGong GigaBlox is another fantastic example of what our game team can produce, with a great theme, maths and features.
“The GigaBlox mechanic has quickly become a true staple of Yggdrasil’s arsenal, offering great win potential, and combined with Super Wilds and the global gong multipliers this creates a truly special slot.”

ACR POKER LAUNCHES ‘MONEYMAKER MAY-HEM’, OFFERING PLAYERS A CHANCE TO JOIN CHRIS MONEYMAKER IN LAS VEGAS FOR $10K MAIN EVENT
As the Sunday Moneymaker tourney approaches its one-year anniversary this summer, ACR Poker is launching a month-long pre-celebration this May with the Moneymaker May-Hem. This promo gives players a chance to join the 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion and poker legend Chris Moneymaker for a once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience during the Main Event of Vegas’ hottest summer series.
Throughout the month of May, every player who plays a $109 buy-in Sunday Moneymaker on ACR Poker and reaches a final table in any of the weekly events will earn a spot in a Final Sit & Go Showdown on Sunday, June 1st at 4pm ET.
The Final Sit & Go winner will receive a VIP package complete with a $10,000 buy-in to the Vegas Main Event, $5,000 cash for travel and other expenses, and the chance to meet Chris Moneymaker in Las Vegas. Second and third place finishers will receive $109 Sunday Moneymaker Tickets.
“The Sunday Moneymaker has become something really special, and it’s been incredible to watch it grow since we launched it last year,” said Moneymaker. “This May promo is a huge thank you to our community and every player who’s been part of this ride. I’m looking forward to welcoming the winner in Vegas, talking strategy, and hopefully celebrating a deep run in the Main Event together.”
The Sunday Moneymaker, which launched in July 2024 to honor ACR Pro and poker icon Chris Moneymaker, has quickly grown into one of ACR Poker’s weekly signature events. Since its debut, the Sunday Moneymaker has already attracted over 78,000 entrants and awarded more than $13 million in total prize money. The tournament features a $300,000 guarantee every Sunday, with a $400,000 prize pool on the final Sunday of each month.
Moneymaker noted that players can also qualify for each Sunday Moneymaker through ACR Poker’s satellites in the hours before every tournament, with paths starting at freerolls ($0), Micro Hyper Sats ($1.05, $2.10), and Mega Satellites ($11, $22) offering guaranteed $109 seats.
For poker players looking to follow the action, the Final Sit & Go Showdown will be live-streamed on ACR’s Twitch channel on Sunday, June 1st.
