Yggdrasil Gaming and Peter & Sons Rock Out with Wild One

July 7, 2022 by Admin

Top iGaming developer Yggdrasil Gaming has collaborated with leading provider Peter & Sons to release their newest pokie, Wild One. The new game is a triumph of integrated animation, with a stylized dystopian, rock & roll-infused futuristic theme.

The 6×4 reel, 4 096 payline grid layout is accompanied by high volatility gameplay and a set of features as spectacular as the visuals.

A cascading wins mechanic keeps the action rolling every time you win and the additional top reel displays queues of wilds that drop down to the reels below. These include Unbreakable Wilds, Expanding Wilds, and Multiplier Wilds.

The Unbreakable Wilds stay on the reels even when they form part of a winning combo, and the Expanding Wilds grow to cover the entire reel they land on. The Multiplier Wild gives you a great winning boost with multipliers of up to 10x.

When you land two scatter symbols, the Scatter Blast feature destroys all symbols in a 3×3 square, but if you land three or more, the bonus round activates. You will get 10 free spins on a special underground reel set, where the wilds are plentiful.

Award-Winning

Yggdrasil was recently recognized for its extraordinary creations when it won the RNG Casino Provider of The Year award. The provider claimed the accolade at the 2022 edition of the International Gaming Awards. This is the sixth year in a running that the company has claimed a prize from the awards.

Wild One is the latest pokie to be produced by Yggdrasil’s YG Masters program and follows in the footsteps of chart-toppers like Valhalla Saga: Thunder of Thor, released in November 2021 in partnership with innovative developer Jelly.

Yggdrasil and Reflex Gamin g return to hunt treasure in Eye of Persia 2

June 17, 2022 by Admin

Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming have revived a popular slot concept as they embark once again on a desert quest to claim a priceless jewel in Eye of Persia 2.

The precious crystal in question holds the power to grant immense wealth and power, and these riches could be yours, thanks to the Jewel Rush bonus, which you activate by landing three, four or five scatter symbols during the base game. Once triggered, the feature causes Jewel symbols to lock in place while changing the game grid to 15 individual reels where only Jewels and blanks can appear.

The reels will respin, and when new Jewel symbols land, another spin will be generated. You can gain up to 100 free spins this way, but if you get a blank, the feature ends. During the bonus round, stacked wilds will appear, greatly boosting your winning opportunities.

The Princess Wilds feature adds up to 100 wilds to the reels. This bonus can activate randomly at any point during the base game.

Fresh Adventure

Eye of Persia 2 is the most recent game to be produced by Reflex Gaming under the YG Masters program, which is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit.

Stuart McCarthy, the head of product and programs at Yggdrasil, commented,

“This latest addition to the YG Masters game portfolio offers players a great adventure with exciting features and great win potential as they search for the lucrative jewel in the Arabian desert. Our partnership with Reflex Gaming has been fantastic with some great titles added to our offering, and Eye of Persia 2 will not disappoint players who have come to know their games.”

Mat Ingram, the CPO at Reflex Gaming, added,

 “With Eye of Persia 2, we have re-introduced a successful title with an attractive theme. The visually appealing gameplay, coupled with the game’s engaging feature, will see players fully immersed as they set off on this slot adventure.”

Yggdrasil and Bang Bang Games turn back the clock with Jokrz Wild ULTRANUDGE

May 24, 2022 by Admin

Leading iGaming content provider Yggdrasil recently announced that it had collaborated with Bang Bang Games to develop and launch a new title featuring classic gameplay and a retro theme. The name of the new pokie is Jokrz Wild ULTRANUDGE, and its debut follows soon after the successful release of Water Blox Gigablox.

This new title was made possible by the company’s YG Masters program, which has been running for 3 years now and has produced a flurry of entertaining, high-quality pokies. The programme empowers independent game developers and operators with cutting-edge development and distribution resources, like its GATI technology, enabling them to produce, promote, and rapidly distribute premium content.

Classic Feel

Jokrz Wild ULTRANUDGE sports a 5×4 reel layout with 40 paylines, high volatility gameplay, and an impressive winning potential of 25 000x your stake.

The paytable reveals a series of classic game symbols, including diamonds, various fruits, BARS, and of course, the lucky 7. When the Jokrz Wild symbol forms part of a winning combo, the ULTRANUDGE feature will activate, nudging all the symbols in view down by a single position. This action will repeat until no more wins are possible.

If you land three diamond symbols and a ULTRANUDGE symbol on the same spin, you will activate the Jokrz Free Spins mode. While this feature is running, all wins will trigger the ULTRANUDGE, and an increasing multiplier that does not reset between spins boosts your wins.

The Jokrz Gamble Wheel allows you to double the value of your multipliers and increase the bonus round’s potential to 23 000x your stake.

Retro Respect

Yggdrasil’s head of product and programs, Stuart McCarthy shared that he feels the ULTRANUDGE game mechanic is a valuable addition to the gaming giant’s existing catalogue. He described the new pokie as “an exciting retro hit” that is sure to stand out and attract an enthusiastic player base.

The managing director of Bang Bang Games, Frank McPolin, added that the company’s partnership with Yggdrasil gives it the ability to evolve its portfolio dynamically. He described the new release as the ideal combination of “innovation and immersion” that pays homage to classic games.

Yggdrasil’s LatAm journey begins with a new RSI agreement

May 13, 2022 by Admin

Yggdrasil has confirmed its imminent debut in the Latin American market after the iGaming provider signed a deal with Rush Street Interactive’s Colombian brand, RushBet.co.

Yggdrasil ‘s catalogue of slot titles will go live on the site allowing players to enjoy top titles like Raptor Doublemax and Hades Gigablox, as well as the popular Vikings Trilogy and other titles from its YG Masters collection.

Andrew Pegler, the Chief of Commercial Operations at Yggdrasil, said,

“RSI is a market-leading operator in Colombia, and we are very proud to have been given the trust and confidence to introduce our best-in-class games to their local audience. We are excited about this opportunity and look forward to growing our presence in the region together with RSI.”

A statement from Yggdrasil added that the new deal with RSI would enable it to make inroads into Latin America via Cambodia and was “yet another milestone achievement” in its strategy to expand into key markets.

Richard Schwartz, the CEO at RSI, stated,

“Yggdrasil is well-known for its high-quality slots content and offers a diverse portfolio of fan-favourite and new games that is sure to impress our growing customer base in Colombia. We are excited to be the first to offer Yggdrasil’s impressive games portfolio in Colombia and look forward to a long-term successful partnership.”

Building on Progress

This new development follows a productive April for Yggdrasil. The provider signed partnership deals with Slotbox and Livespins while also making changes to its leadership. Fredrik Elmqvist vacated his CEO position and handed the reins to Björn Krantz.

Krantz comes to the table with over 12 years of C-level experience, and he previously worked at major iGaming provider NetEnt for ten years. His transition to Yggdrasil came in January 2020, when he was appointed to manage the group’s publishing arm. He also recently filled the role of Chief of Global Market Operations.

Win a dragon’s hoard of riches in Yggdrasil’s Megapearl Gigablox pokie

May 3, 2022 by Admin

iGaming giant Yggdrasil and ReelPlay have joined forces again to bring you another immersive online gaming experience in  Megapearl Gigablox.

This freshly released six-reel, 40-payline pokie integrates Yggdrasil’s crowd-pulling Gigablox mechanic and is draped in a richly illustrated Chinese theme that features dragons winding around elaborate pillars that border the reels. At least one giant symbol appears on every spin and an imposing dragon represents the wild symbol.

Ferocious Bonus Features

Land six or more glistening pearls to trigger the bonus respins feature, where squares of pearls merge to create mega symbols.

You are given a starting tally of three spins and every time a pearl lands, the respin count will reset to 3. This is a ‘Hold and Win’-type bonus sees where every pearl has a multiplier based on your bet.

If you fill an entire square, all the values will combine and be multiplied for massive winning potential. If you are lucky enough to be in a selected region, you can skip the hassle and jump right into the respins round using the buy feature. The game’s winning potential comes in at over 16 000x your stake and the low volatility means you should brace for a flurry of wins.

Proud Pedigree

Megapearl Gigablox is Reelplay’s newest game launched via the YG Masters program. The game is powered by Yggdrasil’s cutting-edge GATI technology, which allows its partners to rapidly develop and deploy premium content utilising a preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit.

Stuart McCarthy, the Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil said.

“We’re very pleased to collaborate with ReelPlay again to launch an exciting, Hold and Win style Gigablox title. The licensing of our GEM’s has expanded the potential of the program significantly and we look forward to seeing what further innovations will be created.”

David Johnson, the CEO at ReelPlay added,

“Megapearl Gigablox is another strong addition to our portfolio through the YG Masters program. Combining the popular Gigablox™ mechanic with a rich Chinese theme, ReelPlay have produced an engaging and re-playable experience for a wide audience.”

Yggdrasil eyes market share boost with new Slotbox distribution deal

April 27, 2022 by Admin

Yggdrasil, a global leader in the iGaming industry has recently finalised an agreement with Slotbox, allowing the provider the opportunity to widen the reach of its content. The partnership gives Slotbox access to Yggdrasil’s entire collection of core games and a selection of YG Masters titles.

Slotbox customers will now have access to a premium variety of top-performing games, enhanced by Yggdrasil’s powerful Game Engagement Mechanics.

Slotbox is an online division of Coastline, a prominent Irish casino and gaming operator that boasts eight locations across the Emerald Isle. Coastline launched Slotbox in 2020, employing Gaming Innovation Group’s platform, which operated as a springboard for the company to significantly expand its global presence.

Andrew Pegler, the Director of Commercial Operations at Yggdrasil gave his take on the mutually beneficial alliance.

“This alliance with Slotbox will see us enhance our presence globally and it’s fantastic to work with such a renowned and established operator with a strong land-based history.

Yggdrasil and AvatarUX line up some sweet rewards in new Lollipop pokie

April 12, 2022 by Admin

Industry-leading iGaming provider, Yggdrasil, recently partnered up with AvatarUX for a new -enhanced title, named Lollipop.

The game integrates the innovative PopWins mechanic that causes the reels to expand in height with every winning spin and the winning symbols are replaced by two more. The reels can grow up to five symbols high during the base game and up to seven while the bonus round is active. A progressive multiplier up to 6x also kicks in if you manage to unlock an extra reel.

PopWins is a highly popular mechanic that adds a unique spin to similar innovations like Rolling Reels or Cascading Reels by other developers.

Mouth-Watering Features

The new ScatterPops feature activates during Free Spins, upgrading matching Scatters symbols to higher values and boosting your winning potential. This means that you could set off a chain reaction that could result in wins up to 500x your bet.

There’s nothing regular about the bonus round either because when you trigger it with at least 3 scatters on the reels, a gamble wheel appears that lets you choose to gamble your existing free spins to potentially get more or lose it all in the process.

This is the newest title to emerge from AvatarUX, following the studio’s introduction of a series of premium titles, including CherryPop, PopRocks, and the more recent PapayaPop through the YG Masters program.

This new game exists thanks to Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art GATI technology that gives YG Masters Partners access to a preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit that enables them to develop and rapidly distribute premium content.

Stuart McCarthy, the Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil said,

“AvatarUX is another fantastic success story of the YG Masters initiative and we are very proud of the hugely innovative products they bring to market. The PopWins™ brand is recognised globally now and enjoyed immensely by players, and we look forward to another successful launch.”

Nicola Longmuir, the Chief Executive Officer at AvatarUX also shared her thoughts, saying,

“Lollipop is an action-packed title that incorporates the hugely exciting PopWins mechanic as well as our brand new ScatterPops chain reaction. We continue to look to add innovative, exciting games and this tasty treat is another fantastic addition to our offering through the YG Masters program.”

The YG Masters program has produced yet another striking pokie release. Yggdrasil and 4ThePlayer’s have announced the release of 60 Second Heist, a 1204 payline title with the revolutionary Win Time Free Spins mechanic.

Time is on Your Side

The action kicks off with 60 seconds of free spins where a light increases the win multiplier by +1 every time it makes a revolution around the reels.

In keeping with the focus on time, the game also integrates the Turbo Lock Respin Feature where winning symbols become sticky and the reels respin for five seconds. This feature packs serious potential with possible wins worth up to 4096x your stake.

Shared Innovation

The YG Masters Program has been around since 2019 and, since its establishment, it has supported and empowered some of the iGaming industry’s top developers and operators. The program equips developers with Yggdrasil’s proprietary GATI technology that allows for the creation and rapid distribution of premium content. YG Masters currently encompasses 12 studios including Northern Lights, 4ThePlayer, and Rabcat.

The Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, Stuart McCarthy, commented on the new game, saying,

“60 Second Heist™ offers players something completely different to anything else thanks to the way the free spins bonus is designed and for that reason alone we anticipate that this slot is going to be incredibly well-received. There’s been so much innovation around game mechanics and bonus features over the last few years, but we’ve never really seen anyone tackle free spins in such an innovative way until now.”

Chris Ash, the Founder and Business Development Director at 4ThePlayer added,

“We’re absolutely thrilled to introduce players to 60 Second Heist as it’s without a doubt our most exciting high-octane slot to date. This tile offers an unrivalled experience, and we truly believe that we’ve created something special with the help of Yggdrasil and their state-of-the-art GATI technology.”

Yggdrasil and G.Games launch an adventure on the waves in Dead Man’s Fingers

February 8, 2022 by Admin

Global iGaming leader Yggdrasil and YG Masters member G.Games invite you to pull on your pirate boots for an adventure on the high seas in Dead Man’s Fingers.

This 4×5, 25 payline pokie sets you on a swashbuckling quest for buried treasure, with free spins and a money collect feature to help you on your way.

The cash collect feature runs during the base game, generating treasure chests that hold random cash values or display the mini, minor, major and grand jackpots. With the appearance of a collect symbol on the fifth reel, all the treasure chest values will be added up and a handsome booty will be deposited into your bankroll.

The wild symbol is a wriggly octopus while a compass on a string acts as the scatter that awards you with 10 free spins when you land 3 on a single spin. While the bonus round is active cash symbols appear more frequently and you can retrigger the feature infinitely.

Dead Man’s Fingers is G.Games’ fourth title to emerge from the YG Masters program, following the successful releases of Cthulhu, Tiger Tiger and Serendipity.

Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art GAT technology was employed in the creation of the new title. This innovation empowers partners with a preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit that helps them produce premium content and distribute it rapidly.

Stuart McCarthy, the Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil said,

 “The fourth creation by G.Games as part of the YG Masters initiative sees players take to the seas in search of big wins. Combining a fun theme and lucrative money collect feature in both base play and free spins, it offers a new dynamic to the existing G.Games portfolio.”

Helen Walton, the CCO at G.Games added,

“Dead Man’s Fingers is an exciting new addition to our offering and we’re eager to see how fans react across Yggdrasil’s operator network. With big wins available on every spin through the money collect feature, as well as re-triggerable free spins, treasure can’t be far away for our fearsome pirates!”
