Yggdrasil Gaming Introduces Avatars Gateway Guardians

After presenting a trio of hot November releases, Yggdrasil Gaming has surprised the iGaming community once again before the month’s end by launching a brand-new intergalactic journey, Avatars: Gateway Guardians.

Previously, players had a chance to get acquainted with John Carew Blackjack, an innovative table game variant featuring former Aston Villa football player as a virtual dealer.

As the month unfolded, Yggdrasil lined up a fantastic winter game in big reel portrait mode, 9K Yeti, produced in collaboration with 4ThePlayer only to bring an epic exploration slot arcade Aldo’s Journey on November 21st.

In its latest release, players are challenged to free the Avatars and earn multiple cash rewards for helping them escape the Earth’s orbit.

Designed Exclusively for LeoVegas

As an exclusive extension of the portfolio at LeoVegas, Yggdrasil’s extraterrestrial slot edition comes with a Multiplier wheel each time a player lands on a Hotspot area. While spinning at random, the wheel adds up to the Multiplier and potentially triggers a 20x booster, taking all wins to a hypnotic and supersonic level.

There is also the extra spins mode on board, activated when three scatter symbols land on the reels. As expected, the number of rounds is defined by the number of scatters in base game.

Product owner at the Swedish studio, Natalya Ovchinnikova, commented:

“Avatars: Gateway Guardians promises to take players on an interstellar adventure full of thrilling missions to complete in order to collect great rewards.

With astronomical win potential and out of this world features and graphics, we’re confident the title will become a firm favorite with Leo Vegas’ customers.”

By introducing exclusive content to its members in Sweden, LeoVegas is putting maximum efforts to earn itself a King of Casino title. According to James Ford, head of casino at the Swedish mobile gaming company, the existing portfolio provides a great opportunity for the brand to promote premium digital content, updated with new and innovative titles from the game changers such as Yggdrasil Gaming.

“The fourth instalment of Leo Vegas’ collaborative journey with Yggdrasil and the fifth for the Leo Vegas Originals series, this game positions itself as one of the most unique looking slot games on the market.
