Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has rolled out underwater extravaganza Golden FishTank 2 GigaBlox.

The six-reel sequel to Yggdrasil’s original smash hit sees players return to the fish tank, where huge riches await behind the aquatic residents.

On every spin at least two adjacent reels will connect to form up to a 4×4 GigaBlox symbol, while in Free Spins this can be a staggering 6×6 in size on the extended reels.

Five or more Free Spins symbols will trigger the Bonus Round, which can see six extra features triggered, including Wild Fish, turning one fish symbol into a Wild, a 2x multiplier, expanded reels, extra wilds, fish stacks or extra free spins.

Turning on the Golden Bet mode awards an extra feature pick when entering Free Spins, for 20% more per spin.

If the Treasure Chest lands on the fifth reel, players will automatically be awarded a prize of anything from 2-500x their stake, or Free Spins. The bigger the chest, the better the prize.

In certain jurisdictions, players can buy the free spins for a set price, as well as enjoy a Gamble mode, where they can gamble for more features before entering Free Spins.

Golden FishTank 2 GigaBlox is the latest Yggdrasil game to include the mechanic, part of the provider’s GEM offering of highly innovative, exciting game features that transform a player’s gaming experience.

“We’re constantly striving to create our own dynamic content to sit alongside our YG Masters portfolio and we’re very pleased to launch this game which is a sequel to one of our most popular titles of all time.

“GigaBlox is a high-performing mechanic for us, and it is something we will look to incorporate even more in upcoming releases, to continue to meet player appetite.”

Global B2B iGaming content provider secures first Canadian market entry following the successful submission and approval of its gaming-related supplier application

Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

With the AGCO licensing process being recognised in the industry for its rigorous standards and thorough due diligence, the new certification confirms Playnetic was able to meet the high levels of integrity and regulatory compliance needed to legally distribute its content within the province.

As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.

Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.

In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.

Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”

Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”
