Want to enjoy everything that makes retro games so great in a slot with a modern atmosphere and impeccable graphics? Of course yes, and KA Gaming has made it. KA Gaming’s free slots are considered some of the most fun slots on the market, and despite their obvious lack of features, Blocky Block is no exception.

We talked about things that Blocky Block didn’t have, but now let’s see what they have, shall we? Keep reading to find out…

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

When the game loads, players will find themselves in a pixelated urban suburb filled with tall buildings and lots of greenery. The bright blue sky is cheery and the fluffy white clouds are a nice touch that really helps set the scene. Some even float on the screen!

The drums themselves are installed in another high-rise. A dark orange border around the reels helps the symbols stand out. All unique symbols are made in the same pixelated style and include red stars, cherries, golden bells and royal crowns. Each symbol has a different background color, making it very easy to spot winning combinations when they land on the reels.

In addition, all winning combinations are highlighted with a bright animation and a flickering sound effect. The reels don’t spin, they wobble and this allows a number of new symbols to fall from above. This fits the overall theme very well and makes this offering from KA Gaming much more interesting than it could have been otherwise.

Overall, this is a slot with a charming retro style and vibrant color scheme that is sure to delight new and more experienced players alike.
RTP block block and variance
Unfortunately, neither the variance nor the RTP (return to player) of Blocky Block has been widely adopted. However, our own playstyle suggests this is a medium to high variance slot.

How to play block by block

Start by clicking the “i” icon located in the lower right corner of the screen. A menu will open with the rules of the game and the paytable.
Once you get used to Blocky Block’s possibilities, you can set your stake. To do this, either click on the “New Bet” field and make your selection, or click on the “Max Bet” button if you already know that you want to play with a maximum bet of 30.00.
When a bet you are satisfied with is displayed in the Total Bet field, you can start spinning. Press the orange play button once to play in standard mode. Alternatively, press and hold the same orange play button to turn on autoplay mode.
Your balance will always be visible in the lower right corner of the reels. Pay attention to this throughout the game so that you do not exceed the maximum spending limit that we recommend you set before starting the game.
Remember, stop playing as soon as the game stops giving you pleasure.

Bet sizes and winnings in the paytable

Blocky Block allows players to place a minimum bet of 0.10 and a maximum of 30.00. The maximum of 30.00 may be a bit limiting for some players, but for those new to video slots this can be very appealing.

Blocky Block has a very unique paytable as it will pay out in winning combinations of up to 25 identical symbols. For example, if 22 to 25 crown symbols appear at the maximum bet, a prize of 9,000 will be paid, and if the same number of cherry symbols appear, 4,500 wins will be won. These are the highest paying symbols on the paytable, but the payoffs associated with getting the highest possible combinations for all symbols are reasonable.

Block Block Bonus Features

Wins are paid out when at least 5 matching symbols that can be placed horizontally and/or vertically touch.

Unfortunately, apart from this feature, Blocky Block does not have any additional bonuses.

Our Verdict: Blocky Block Review

There is no denying that free spin Blocky Block will not be a universally attractive slot. First, it lacks all the extra features that gamers are used to seeing as standard with every new release. But if you’ve long wanted to go back to the basics and enjoy the unique appeal that only retro-inspired games can provide, then you’ll probably have a good time with Blocky Block.

Note that the exact RTP and variance are not widely shared and it will be difficult to get the maximum payout if you need to download at least 22 identical symbols. Nothing is impossible, but you will need a healthy dose of luck on your side.
