Squid Game Gganbu

The word “Gganbu” deserves a bit of explanation here. It’s a Korean word which means “friend” or “partner” and it has been used in culture as two people who played marbles together (game played by Chinese and Koreans since ancient times).

The base game of the Squid Game Gganbu slot features typical royal card ranks as its low-value symbols. However, there are also elements drawn from the fictional game and its portrayal on screen.

The purple background adds a mystical and slightly unsettling touch. Colorful marbles serve as a reminder of the deadly origins of Squid Game, stemming from innocent children's games. Meanwhile, faceless guards and contestants with numbered backs further emphasize the sinister nature of this ordeal.

Walking Wilds are quite common in slot games, and they serve to replace regular symbols when there is a gap in a winning combination. However, the Squid Game Gganbu wild sets itself apart by being persistent. Unlike other wilds that lock in place, this particular one remains on the reels but moves up one position with every spin. This results in it settling in a new location each time.

Ddakji, a popular Korean toy commonly crafted from folded paper and used in various games, is featured in Squid Game with a sinister twist. In the slot game, it offers players a chance to win a cash bonus worth x36 when appearing on the red paper.
