Yggdrasil strikes YG Franchise deal with leading casino solution supplier SoftSwiss
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.”

ICONIC21 Lights Up the Night with Las Piggas
Essential content provider launches new title aimed at enhancing engagement, increasing session durations, and generating higher operator revenue with an entertaining theme and captivating gameplay.
The Piggies are hitting The Strip in the newest blockbuster slot game from sought-after iGaming content creator, ICONIC21.
Las Piggas revolves around neon lights, velvet ropes, and three unique pig characters – Elvis Pig, Marilyn Pig, and Cowboy Pig, all of whom aspire to strike it rich in the City of Sin.
Integrating an advanced 6×4 game grid, a 4,096 ways engine, and a vibrant Vegas style, Las Piggas aims to attract both casual gamers and dedicated high stakes players.
In Las Piggas, gamers are taken to the center of the Strip where the piggie heroes are enjoying life to the fullest.
The main gameplay centers on the dual-end Collect system – in contrast to typical collection slots, Las Piggas includes Collect symbols on reels one and six, increasing the chances for players to gather Coin symbols that have Multiplier values reaching 5,000x the wager.
Central to the player experience are the three pig characters – Elvis Pig, Marilyn Pig, and Cowboy Pig, which rest above the reels.
When Pig Coins fall, they are collected by their respective character, activating a perceived ongoing growth mechanism.
When the Bonus Game starts, players receive eight Free Spins with special modifiers depending on the pig that activated the round.
Elvis Pig – Reels two and five become synchronised. With each spin, two, three, or four adjacent reels may also synchronise, allowing massive 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 Coin symbols to land.
Marilyn Pig – A win Multiplier is awarded with all wins and Coins boosted by 3x.
Cowboy Pig – An additional eight Spins are awarded to the Bonus Game.
To enhance Max Win potential, various features can function together at once, resulting in a Super Bonus where all character skills are engaged simultaneously.
In the Bonus Game, the values of all Coin symbols are accumulated in the Bonus Pot. After the round concludes, a Bonus Spin occurs where a 4×4 Mega Coin symbol displaying the entire Bonus Pot value appears on reels two through five.
To obtain the Bonus Pot, at least one Collect symbol needs to appear on either reel one or reel six. Once collected, the Mega Coin value contributes to the overall win – if the Mega Coin appears on reels one and two, the Bonus Pot value is increased twofold. Oink!
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Las Piggas is all about player enjoyment and pure entertainment. We wanted to create a game that feels exciting from the very first spin — combining a popular 4,096-ways format with three distinctive bonus experiences, all wrapped in the iconic neon energy of Las Vegas.
The pig characters aren’t just visuals; they each bring their own personality and bonus style, giving players different ways to experience the game every time they trigger a round. Whether it’s the synchronised reels, boosted multipliers, or extended spins, Las Piggas delivers variety, anticipation and big-win potential in a theme that feels instantly recognizable and fun.
At the heart of it, this game was designed to make players smile, stay engaged, and feel the thrill of Vegas with every spin.”
