At the start of August, the iGaming publisher that breathes innovation, Yggdrasil, joined ReelPlay to launch the Hot Rise Games’ Nightmares VS GigaBlox slot. 

Now, the publisher that stands for world-class entertainment has announced a similarly exciting collaboration resulting in the release of Excalibur VS GigaBlox. 

The fresh slot is the latest YG Masters release from the talented crew at Hot Rise Games which continues to rely on its ReelPlay agreement to offer premier content. 

Hot Rise Games’ VS series has already managed to successfully attract an impressive following thanks to previous releases including the previously mentioned Nightmares VS GigaBlox, Gods VS GigaBlox, and Monsters VS GigaBlox.

Accordingly, the new game with a focus on legendary heroes battling in search of the magical Excalibur sword, is also expected to quickly turn into a fan favorite.

Join the Courageous Warriors Looking for Highrise Respins 

Based on the popular GigaBlox Game Engagement Mechanic from Yggdrasil, the slot features six courageous warriors players can use to generate winning combinations across any of the 50 paylines. 

Each new spin will also bring at least one supersized symbol on the grid. Players who land a minimum of five shining gem symbols activate the Highrise Respins.

This feature rewards players with three respins to get started with. Each new successful spin will reset the count. 

The higher each of the columns rises, the more lucrative the rewards for every symbol in the respective column. 

Players who succeed in filling the top row with VERSUS icons will automatically put the wins in the columns on nitro. Lucky gamers who manage to complete the set benefit from super-charged wins.

Players Can Expect “Another Rewarding Spinning Experience”

As explained by ReelPlay’s chief executive officer, David Johnson, introducing Hot Rise Games’ freshest  VS slot to the market via their partners at Yggdrasil means giving players “another rewarding spinning experience.”

The GATI-powered game which has once again brought iconic historical and fictional characters to life has been described as “another superb addition to the YG Masters program” by Yggdrasil’s chief gaming officer, Mark McGinley. He also took the opportunity to praise the excellent work of the Hot Rise crew.

Last month, ReelPlay and Light & Wonder announced a four-year expansion of their existing deal.

Yggdrasil, a front-runner in the iGaming industry, has teamed up with game developer Jelly to unveil their latest slot game, Beasty Blox GigaBlox.

This online slots game plunges players into a vibrant jungle setting, where powerful animals dominate the spinning reels.

Yggdrasil Chief Gaming Officer Mark McGinley said the Beasty Blox GigaBlox slot had all of their most-liked features, but also provided a fresh feel to players.

“Our newest launch sees the kings of the jungle dominate the reels in search of huge wins in Beasty Box GigaBlox,” he said.

“Using one of our most-loved GEMs and an ever-popular theme, this release is another exciting take on a classic slot experience, and we’re confident players will love it.”

Jelly, a smaller casino software company, has released upwards of 10 online slots on Yggdrasil’s platform and they are gaining a reputation for keeping players entertained for hours.

“Beasty Box GigaBlox brings bold colours, great artwork, and huge win potential to our portfolio of content,” Marketing Lead at Jelly Victoria Newbolt said.

“With multipliers that can combine to huge effects in the bonus round and super stacked symbols offering gigantic payways, this is another game we’re thrilled to see land in casino lobbies.”

The standout feature of this game is the Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) known as GigaBlox. This mechanic ensures that every spin will feature at least one enlarged symbol, ranging in size from 2×2 to 4×4.

The Free Spins mode takes the excitement a notch higher. Within this mode, players can encounter a mystery SuperStaxx symbol that, when revealed, can transform into any paying symbol. This can introduce up to five extra payways for each symbol, maximizing the chances of securing a win. What’s more, wild symbols in this game mode can be boosted by multipliers of up to 3x. And when these multipliers are combined in the bonus round, players stand a chance to bag substantial payouts.

To dive into the Free Spins mode, players must land a minimum of five Diamond Scatters. Each of these scatter symbols can unveil one or two spins, guaranteeing players a minimum of 6 spins to start the bonus round.

This thrilling addition, Beasty Blox GigaBlox, is the newest release from Jelly, coming hot on the heels of their previous game, Fury of Hyde Megaways.

The game’s efficiency and smooth performance are attributed to GATI, Yggdrasil’s advanced technology platform. This platform allows partners to leverage a standardized, regulation-compliant development toolkit. The result? The swift creation and deployment of top-tier gaming content across the iGaming spectrum.

Massive Coinciding Wins, Win Multipliers, Free Spins, and Buy Bonus 

Commenting on the new release, Yggdrasil’s chief gaming officer, Mark McGinley, spoke about the popularity of horror-themed games, describing the Nightmares VS GigaBlox as a “great addition” to their YG Masters portfolio. McGinley also spoke about the GigaBlox mechanic where massive symbols can take over all 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 reels, break into individual symbols, and ultimately generate massive coinciding wins. 

The VERSUS feature comes with collection characters and free spins and can be triggered whenever a minimum of six scatter symbols are seen landing on the reels. When this occurs, players get six free spins. Additionally, Champion and Challenger symbols are randomly chosen to carry a battle across the grid.

All Champion and Challenger symbols that land during the free spins are collected, further boosting the feature with extra rewards including free spins, extra wilds, and win multipliers. 

ReelPlay’s chief executive officer, David Johnson, spoke about their partner studio Hot Rise Games’ ability to produce “boundary-expanding concepts” including HOT 1 and the recently used VERSUS feature. He also called Nightmares VS GigaBlox a slot with “a frighteningly good VERSUS feature” that is prone to keep players’ interest at an all-time high. 

The game also offers players in selected jurisdictions the chance to use the Buy Bonus feature for jumping right into the VERSUS feature in exchange for 80x their bet.

In February, Yggdrasil’s ongoing contributions to the iGaming industry along with their consistent delivery of premium content helped it scoop up the Innovator of the Year Award during the IGA 2023.
