All Star Knockout unveiled as latest YG Masters smash hit

Published

Second Northern Lights title in industry-leading distribution partnership programme

Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, has released All Star Knockout in association with partner studio Northern Lights, the latest in the supplier’s market-leading global content distribution initiative, YG Masters.

The 5×4 reel video slot features 20 paylines and an innovative Award Board, which activates the All Star Knockout Bonus.

The Award Board has five boxes with spots for eight stars to collect as they randomly land on the reels. When a player starts a game session, 12 bonus stars are randomly awarded and populate the board. If one or more box is filled with stars, the bonus round is triggered.

During the bonus feature, players are given an initial five free spins, with an additional two free spins awarded for every box of the board that is filled during the round. When the feature is triggered, a multiplier is selected and applies to all wins.

Andrew Goodale, CEO of Northern Lights, said: All Star Knockout is our latest creation via the YG Masters initiative and offers a colourful and exciting take on classic fruit machine symbols. With an innovative award board bonusing system, players can easily track their progress as they strive to land the lucrative free spins feature.

“Our partnership with Yggdrasil has been hugely beneficial for us and assisted us in further growing our business. We are very excited about what the future holds.”

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Strategy & Sourcing at Yggdrasil, said: “All Star Knockout is an excellent addition to our the YG Masters games portfolio and another testament to the success of this element of our business which gives us fresh and innovative content from the world’s best independent studios.

“Our YG Masters programme continues to go from strength-to-strength and the launch of our Publishing division will only cement its status as one of the leading development platforms in the industry.”

As part of the introduction of its new Publishing division earlier this year, Yggdrasil has significantly updated its market leading YG Masters programme, which was first launched in 2018. The key upgrade driver is the introduction of GATI (Game Adaptation Tools & Interface) which offers a framework to build online games and is a disruptor to the existing iGaming industry.

Partners will be able to set up and run their own YG Masters across the globe with their own studio partners based on Yggdrasil’s advanced technology, framework, systems and tools. This offers clients an opportunity beyond the traditional aggregation structure, giving them unlimited potential to scale their business and realise rapid organic growth.

2026 Rewards AI Capability, Not AI Talk – HIPTHER Prague Summit Unveils the Next-Era HIPTHER Academy

Published

2026-rewards-ai-capability,-not-ai-talk-–-hipther-prague-summit-unveils-the-next-era-hipther-academy

HIPTHER Prague Summit proudly introduces the Hands-On HIPTHER Academy and next-gen career advancement. Because 2026 won’t reward AI Talk – It will reward AI Capability.

As the HIPTHER Prague Summit celebrates 10 years of impact across Gaming & Tech, the 2026 edition shifts the spotlight toward what truly defines the next era of professional growth: practical AI capability, personal authority, and reputational strength.

This year, HIPTHER places a powerful new emphasis on the HIPTHER Academy – the summit’s applied learning environment designed to move beyond theory and into real execution professionals can use immediately.

From AI Hype to Real-World Application

The message shaping 2026 is clear:

The future won’t reward those who talk about AI.
It will reward those who know how to use it.

Positioned as the practical layer of the summit, the HIPTHER Academy delivers:

  • 80% hands-on, applied AI workshops
  • Real operational use cases, including vibe coding, compliance automation, AI-driven workflows, and responsible implementation boundaries
  • Immediate, role-ready takeaways professionals can implement the moment they return to work

This applied focus distinctly separates HIPTHER Prague Summit from generic “AI trend” events – emphasizing execution over theory and capability over buzzwords.

Authority, Reputation & the Human Edge

Technical skill alone is no longer enough.

In an AI-accelerated landscape, positioning, leadership presence, and trust define who stands out.
That’s why the HIPTHER Academy integrates human authority and reputational growth alongside AI capability.

Featured workshops include:

  • From Profile to Authority: Positioning Your LinkedIn Presence for TrustMarija Hammond
  • Personality and High-Stakes Conversations in the WorkplaceMaria Loumpourdi
  • How to Build a Company’s ReputationMagdalena Radomska-Trzaska

Together, these sessions shape a new professional equation:

HIPTHER Academy = AI capability + personal authority + reputational strength.

Inside the 10th Anniversary Edition of HIPTHER Prague Summit

Under the theme “Decoding the Future: 10 Years of Impact,” the 2026 summit marks its most ambitious edition yet.

Taking place at OREA Hotel Andels Praha on 24–25 March 2026, the event brings together a global audience across:

iGaming, eSports, Blockchain, AI, Fintech, Compliance, Regulation

Attendees can expect eight dedicated Academy workshops delivering applied knowledge.

HIPTHER’s Co-Founder & Head of Business Zoltan Tündik, stated about this year’s HIPTHER Academy in Prague: “While 2025 was dominated by conversations about AI, 2026 is the year we are witnessing real acceleration. New developments, real projects, and genuinely useful tools being created at unprecedented speed. I recently noticed this while recording a podcast: we no longer say ‘this wasn’t possible a few years ago.’ We now say ‘this wasn’t possible a few months ago.’ That shift in language says everything about the pace of AI-driven innovation.

The market will not reward AI commentary anymore. It will reward AI capability. That’s exactly why the HIPTHER Academy focuses on practical application, giving professionals the ability to execute, not just discuss. In 2026, competitive advantage belongs to those who can apply AI confidently, responsibly, and effectively in real business environments.”

More Academy Highlights

Insightful sessions expanding the Academy’s practical scope include:

  • Branding in the Attention EconomyMarija Hammond, Brand Advisor & Speaker
  • LinkedIn as a Dealflow EngineMarie Zamecnikova, Personal Brand Strategist and Executive Advisor
  • Communications & Growth ExecutionWojciech Trzaska, Chief Communications Officer at SB Software
  • AI-Powered Marketing & PRUliana Korobeynikova, Head of Public Relations at iAffiliate

Alongside AI insights from The Playa, Murmur Intelligence, and further expert-led workshops to be announced.

The Career-Advancement Layer of Prague 2026

With the HIPTHER Academy, the Prague Summit evolves beyond a conference into a career acceleration environment — equipping professionals not just to understand the future, but to operate inside it with confidence, credibility, and authority.

Because in 2026, the real competitive edge isn’t access to AI.
It’s knowing how to apply it — and being trusted when you do.

Join the 10th Anniversary HIPTHER Prague Summit — invest in career-growth and personal authority. See you there!
