Yggdrasil named Casino Platform Provider of the Year at 2022 EGR Nordics Awards
Yggdrasil, the leading publisher of online gambling content, has picked up its first award of 2022 after being named Casino Platform Provider of the Year at the 2022 EGR Nordics Awards.
The prestigious award ceremony held at The Westin Dragonara Resort, Malta celebrates the most successful and innovative online gaming companies operating in the Nordics region, each award recognises operators and service providers that have stood out over the past 12 months.
Yggdrasil won the Casino Platform Provider of the Year award despite fierce competition from several market-leading suppliers.
The independent panel of judges opted for Yggdrasil as a result of the work undertaken in the last year that has seen the studio evolve from a leading slot developer to global publisher of gambling content through its industry changing YG Masters program and YG Franchise proposition, driven by its pioneering Game Adaptation Tools and Interface (GATI) technology.
Yggdrasil Gaming CEO Fredrik Elmqvist said: “We’ve worked tirelessly over the last twelve months to integrate over 20 third-party Masters’ partners onto the Yggdrasil GATI platform, this award is testament to everyone’s hard work.
“We’re all immensely proud of what our incredible team has achieved to-date, and I’m confident this is only just the beginning of what will be yet another stellar year for the studio.”
