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.

Lineup includes Foxium’s Brawl Gods and Fortune Factory Studios’ Candy Express Gold Blitz, plus 20+ more network releases.

Games Global has published its July release roadmap, outlining a slate of new online casino titles built around collection-style mechanics, including new entries in Gold Blitz™ and Coin Collect-led formats.

Foxium’s Brawl Gods™ tops the July lineup, themed around a Zeus-versus-Hades showdown. The title adds a Coin Chamber mechanic where Coin symbols collected during play are held above the reels for a limited time, alongside a versus-style bonus game with collection meters and a four-tier jackpot structure.

Games Global is also pushing a new Gold Blitz™ installment themed around candy and sweets, paired with the Cash Collect feature used across the series.

All For One’s Coin Collect: Piggy Patrons™ Extra Bank™ expands on the original release by introducing an Extra Bank™ feature. When triggered, Extra Bank™ opens a mini Link&Win™ feature and awards the Jackpot Wheel if all six spots are filled. The game also includes Cash Collect and the Mr Penny, Mr Bond and Mr Bullion Bonus Games, with the company stating jackpot potential of up to 20,000x.

Fortune Factory Studios’ Candy Express Gold Blitz™ joins the schedule with multiple collection systems and choice-driven bonus play, combining Gold Blitz™ Cash Collection, the Candy Express feature and an Accumulation Trail that unlocks additional spins and multipliers. Games Global said the July roadmap also includes more than 20 additional titles from its studio network.

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “July’s line-up continues to demonstrate our studios’ depth of range. Each studio is bringing something distinct to the table across a multitude of collection mechanics – from Extra Bank™ and Coin Chamber to the next instalment of Gold Blitz™. It’s this combination of proven performance and creative variation that keeps the network’s output ahead of the curve.”

3 Pigs of Independence Hog & Win

Gaming Corps launches 3 Pigs of Independence Hog & Win

New 3 Pigs slot uses a 3×5, 243-ways setup with a Hold & Win-style bonus and a stated 5,000x max win.

Gaming Corps has launched 3 Pigs of Independence Hog & Win, a new title in its 3 Pigs slot series. The Sweden-based, publicly listed developer said the game is themed around US Independence Day.

The game runs on a 3×5 grid with 243 ways to win. Gaming Corps said it is built around “Hog & Win”, its pig-themed take on Hold & Win, where Prize Coins worth 1x to 5x the total bet can land in the base game and be collected via Collector Vaults.

According to the studio, the Bonus Hog & Win Game is triggered by collecting red, white and blue Pig Coins, with a stated top prize of 5,000x the total bet. In the bonus, the Red Pig “Grow” upgrade can add rows to increase the grid up to five symbols high, the White Pig “Boost” applies multipliers up to 10x, and the Blue Pig “Extra” adds respins. The Liberty Pig can also appear and reveal as one of the three Pig Coins.

The game also includes four collectable Banknote Prizes—Hamilton, Oinkrew, Grunt and Benji—which fill progress bars toward larger rewards, Gaming Corps said. A “Lose to Win” mechanic can also trigger on losing spins to reshape the grid into a win or send players into the Hog & Win feature.

Viacheslav Pechernyi, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “The 3 Pigs have become real characters for us, and half the fun is deciding where they turn up next. An American Independence theme was the perfect fit for their loudest, brightest adventure yet.

“Beneath the celebration there is a genuinely rewarding game, with the Hog & Win feature, the grid-growing upgrades and the Banknote Prizes giving players plenty to chase. It is bold, good fun, and we think it will go down well wherever the 3 Pigs have found a following.”
