Fatz’s Diner (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Fatz's Diner Slot Game

I pulled up a booth in Fatz's Diner and got a proper dose of retro. Pastel reels sit over a chequered floor, the jukebox bops, and the animal cast gives it a cheeky twist. The food icons match their tastes, not ours, which suits the theme. The soundtrack feels pre rock and roll, closer to rockabilly, and it keeps the pace brisk. It looks clean, bright, and it plays with enough punch to keep me spinning between bites.

Under the bonnet, Fatz's Diner runs 5 reels and 5 rows with 40 ways to win. Stakes run from 0.2 to 40 per spin on a high volatility model set to a 96% RTP by default. A vinyl record acts as the wild. The hook is Gigablox, where reels can merge to form big symbol blocks that break down for pays. It's a tidy setup that suits quick sessions and longer grinds alike.

Symbols and Payouts in Fatz's Diner

The paytable sticks to nine regulars. Four low pays are food: bananas, blueberries, foliage, and meat, each worth 0.8x for five of a kind. They pay from three to five on a line. The vinyl record is wild and substitutes the regulars. I like how the art sells the diner story without clutter. Big blocks of these icons can land too, thanks to the core mechanic, so even the cheap stuff can stack up when the grid lines up.

Five premiums are the cast: a crocodile in a suit, an ape nerd, a goat prom queen, a lion jock, and Fatz the hippo manager. Five of a kind pays span roughly 1x to 4x, with the hippo topping the chart at up to 4x and showing 0.6x at the low end. Values feel on the modest side in the base, so I look for multiple lines or features to carry wins. The overall ceiling sits at about 9,000x.

Fatz's Diner Slot Bonus Features

Gigablox fires on every spin. Two to five reels can join to build oversized symbols in 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 blocks. Before pays, a big icon splits into regular positions, so lines still count as normal. All symbols except the special Expand and Respin trigger can appear as Gigablox. It adds proper weight to each spin, and when the grid grows to 5x5, you can cover the entire board with a single image.

The Expand and Respin symbol is the nudge the grid needs. When it lands, you get a respin and the current Gigareel expands by one position toward the arrow. Land more than one, and you stack extra respins and further growth. These symbols only drop on single reels, which makes their timing matter. I have had a few chains where one arrow sets off another, and the board swells into a chunky reel set that can pay.

Free spins arrive with at least five scatters. You start with five plus the number that triggered, so it lands as 10 to 30 spins. During the round, every three Expand and Respin symbols collected increase the minimum Gigareel size. The hippo gets a multiplier that starts at x3, rises by three on each hippo win, and it does not reset. Extra spins can land from more scatters. Or buy in for 100x (10-30 spins) or 600x (30 spins with hippo at x9).

How to Win at Fatz's Diner Slot

Getting started in Fatz's Diner is simple. Set a stake between 0.2 and 40, hit spin, and aim for three to five matching symbols on one of the 40 lines from left to right. Wins need consecutive reels starting from the leftmost. The interface lets you adjust speed and sound. For traction in the base, I like lines that cross any active Gigablox and I keep an eye out for arrows, as a single respin and expansion can flip a slow spin into a tidy return.

Fatz's Diner Slot RTP & Volatility

The default RTP for Fatz's Diner is 96% on a high volatility engine, with alternate versions offered at 94%, 90.5%, and 86% in some venues. That profile means dry spells can stretch, then a feature burst can make the session. The headline payout potential lands around 9,000x the bet, helped by the 5x5 Gigablox and the non-resetting hippo multiplier in free spins. I size bets with that in mind and budget for swings rather than steady tick-overs.

The Final Thoughts on Fatz's Diner Slot

I rate Fatz's Diner as a clean, lively take on Gigablox. The art, pastel palette, and rockabilly pulse sell the setting, while Expand and Respin keeps the grid growing in the right spots. Symbol values sit low, so the hippo's progressive multiplier in free spins does the heavy lifting, and that is where I have seen the best outcomes. With a fair 96% RTP and punchy max potential, it's an easy pick when I fancy a diner run.
