Yggdrasil releases action packed sequel Valley of the Gods 2
Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, has uncovered Valley of the Gods 2, the exciting sequel to fan-favourite Valley of the Gods.
The original version of the title has proven hugely popular with a demand from players to build this upcoming sequel. With Valley of the Gods 2, Yggdrasil delivers even more thrilling excitement for slot fans to enjoy.
Valley of the Gods 2 has a proven, simple gameplay mechanic which is widely accepted by all player types including casual as well as more demanding players. The game also offers new features, such as collectible wilds, which is a key to higher variance and super big wins up to 5481 times the bet.
The variable reel slot with up to 20,160 ways to win is set in a lost desert landscape. With 33 symbol positions, players are tasked with destroying the Scarab symbol blockers. Every win, aside from creating a respin, releases a white scarab which destroys a blocker. If all blockers are destroyed then extra features can be triggered, such as Win Multipliers, Wild Reels and Extra Lives.
For every five red scarabs collected, a player is awarded an extra life, giving them a further respin once they run out of winning spins. If all lives are spent, the respins feature ends.
The Win Multipliers increase by 1x with every five blue scarabs landing on the reels, again lasting until the end of the respin. The total win is added to a player’s balance after no more winning combinations are present and a player has no lives left.
One Wild Reel is added if five yellow scarabs are collected and stays until it wins.
The title is the latest in Yggdrasil’s growing proprietary slots portfolio, which have recently been expanded by the innovative titles Jackpot Express, Multifly!TM and Lucky Neko Gigablox TM, as well as the company’s YG Masters content, created together with its boutique studio partners.
Jonas Strandman, Senior Product Strategist at Yggdrasil, said: “Valley of the Gods became an instant classic from its simple but deep gameplay and thrilling re-spin rounds. The sequel has everything we loved from the original and more. Packed with plenty of modifiers, Valley of the Gods 2 can turn any spin into a huge win up to 5481 times the bet for our fans across the globe.
“The new wild reel feature shows up on a regular basis and can give huge win combinations and combining it with a multiplier is marvellous. We are confident our partners and their players will love the game.”

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
