Yggdrasil Gaming continues to expand its roster of YG Franchise partners by signing a strategic deal with iGaming software solutions provider SoftSwiss, providing the supplier with access to Yggdrasil’s proven iGaming content, technology, innovation, and expertise.

The YG Franchise licensing agreement will enable SoftSwiss to take full control of Yggdrasil content in its most important markets. SoftSwiss can distribute Yggdrasil’s award-winning games across its established network of partners and take advantage of tools including BOOST, the industry-leading promotional toolkit. In addition, the Franchise solution includes GATI, the latest iGaming development and distribution innovation from Yggdrasil.

With YG Franchise, Yggdrasil aims to increase the levels of content flexibility and control for strategic partners such as SoftSwiss. As such, all games, functionality and supporting services are made available. It will also enable SoftSwiss to use GATI to develop and distribute its own games on the Franchise platform. More than seven years of Yggdrasil’s iGaming success is reflected in the Franchise solution.

The new title Vault of Fortune is included in the full catalogue of Yggdrasil proprietary games available to SoftSwiss, as well as the growing portfolio of third-party YG Masters titles. All games are supported by BOOST and configured for maximum geographic reach.

The new partnership will enable SoftSwiss to globally collaborate with other Yggdrasil Franchisees. SoftSwiss will have access to the unique GATI technology, the game development tools and interfaces to build, port or commission games that can be deployed by other Franchisees. The network significantly scales the distribution potential and commercial opportunity for SoftSwiss and all Franchisees.

Andrew Pegler, Head of Commercial at Yggdrasil for Publishing, said: “SoftSwiss is a proven leading casino supplier and we are extremely happy to add them to our expanding YG Franchise network.

“As our Franchisee network continues to grow, the model amplifies the value for partners. Franchise enables them to take full control of their iGaming strategy, to scale their business in an efficient and secure way and, ultimately, to drive new revenue streams. Partnering with Yggdrasil will provide SoftSwiss full access to a vault of proven YG experience and technology.

“The YG Franchise solution is highlighting the importance of collaborative work in iGaming and playing to the strengths of individual businesses. The YG Franchise network adds scale to increase potential returns for all parties.”

Max Trafimovich, CCO at SoftSwiss, said: “We are delighted to become part of Yggdrasil’s unique YG Franchise network and to utilise the solution to collaborate and drive revenue and growth. The content is strong and supported with unique promotional tools under BOOST. We look forward to sharing the games within our expanding network of operating partners.

“By working together with Yggdrasil and other Franchise partners, using their iGaming ‘in a box’ solution and the GATI technology, we expect to reinforce our market position as a leading casino solution provider in the industry. It is an exciting time.”

ELA Games releases Spirit of Savanna slot with player-choice bonus

Published

The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.

ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.

Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.

The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.

Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo™, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo™ and expands the title’s Link&Win™ gameplay and Power Combo™ mechanics.

The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win™ modifiers. The Power Combo™ flow activates a Link&Win™ bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.

Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.

New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win™ round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win™ round, culminating in Super Power Combo™, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode™, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer™, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win™ feature at a cost before the bonus begins.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo™ builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win™ format.

“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.

“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
