By bringing the party to town with Buster Hammer Carnival and exploring the City of Gold in El Dorado Infinity Reels, Yggdrasil has certainly stirred up the iGaming community in the last couple of weeks.
This time, however, the leading worldwide distributor of online casino content, is inviting players to join an expert crew of adventurers in Viking Runes, an epic quest into the snowy wilderness, developed in partnership with a YG Masters studio, TrueLab.
The next saga about seafaring Scandinavian people is set deep in the heartlands of all Nordic warriors, as stated by the studio. Enriched with the glare of Northern Lights, Viking Runes plays out on a cluster grid with awards up to 25,000x total stake, provided six or more matching icons land in a single spin.
As a special treat, multiple cluster wins are possible on every spin, since each winning sequence is removed to let the new symbols drop down and continue the row.
Perhaps the greatest of all features in Viking Runes is the so-called Lightning Wild that may hit the reels on any spin. This attractive in-game twist will cause up to four or more possible cascades to be triggered, while a Runic Shuffle has the ability to randomly change symbol positions and strike a new grandiose win.
However, once the Spell of Ancestors kicks in, all low paying symbols will transform into the Red Rune, potentially launching huge cash prizes. Meanwhile, another special trait called Viking Sorcery will add up to nine wilds randomly on the reels and cause another round of wins, but it can only be triggered once per cascade.
Finally, when five or more cascades occur on a single spin, players will be awarded with honorary spins. These may include Lightning Wilds with progressive multipliers for truly colossal wins.
After Victoria Wild and Christmas Tree, this title represents the third offering to be developed by TrueLab through the YG Masters program. It comes with a solid RTP of 96.2% and high volatility plus HTML5 support for mobile devices.
Once again, the studio has utilized Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art GATI technology to develop a product thanks to a powerful, preconfigured, regulation-ready and standardized toolkit that enables each content distributor to achieve rapid distribution.
“Viking Runes is yet another innovative addition to our YG Masters arsenal with an exciting theme true to our roots. With cascading wins, plenty of features and a thrilling theme, it adds a fantastic new dynamic to the portfolio,” commented about the latest project Stuart McCarthy, head of partner programs at Yggdrasil.
Commenting the latest slot game is also Vasily Polynov, chief business development officer at TrueLab, who said that the team is delighted to unveil a powerful and mysterious title such as Viking Runes, set for great success thanks to the YG Masters program.
Polynov explained that the game’s staggering win potential, easily triggerable features on almost every cascade and an immersive landscape in 3D make this title a real blockbuster, armed with enough potential to appeal to all slot lovers on the lookout for a thrilling and exciting Viking experience.
Viking Runes is available exclusively via the YG Masters franchise, starting 15 March, 2021.
