Yggdrasil launches first GATI game with YG Masters partner TrueLab
Rip roaring adventure slot ‘Victoria Wild’ first game developed using ground-breaking Game Adaptation Tools & Interface (GATI) technology
Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, has launched Victoria Wild in partnership with YG Masters studio TrueLab, its first game using its ground-breaking Game Adaptation Tools & Interface (GATI) technology.
Yggdrasil’s GATI, used by all its YG Masters partners, allows developers to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to create cutting edge content, followed by rapid distribution across the supplier’s entire distribution network. This then enables All YG Masters partners to rapidly scale and accelerate their global growth strategies.
Victoria Wild is a non-stop action adventure-themed 3×5 slot game with intrepid title character Victoria searching for hidden treasures in multiple locations across the unforgiving desert where Wild Tornados crash into sandstorms to create thrilling bonus rounds, Free Spins, Respins and the chance to uncover huge cash prizes.
Sandstorms can be randomly triggered at any stage during base gameplay, dropping two to six Tornado Wilds across the reels, and if one Tornado Wild collides with another, sticky Tornado re-spins are activated.
Once out of the sandstorms, Victoria cures her fatigue under the chilling splashes and soft shadows of a desert oasis. But even this is full of features including the Oasis Free Spins. Each time an Oasis symbol is dropped on the reels, the map progress increases by one. Collect 25 Oasis symbols to activate 10 Free Spins that then reveal waterfalls that fill the entire reel.
If players follow Victoria to an ancient temple, they will have the chance to open its Wheel of Desires and trigger Temple Free Spins. Collect seven or more Lamp Wilds to activate the Secret Treasury which in turn awards a single spin of the Wheel of Desire offering players the chance to unearth thousands of coins and claim big wins and hidden multipliers.
True Lab is an MGA-licensed iGaming provider within the True Flip group providing its growing network of leading brands with innovative HTML5 titles that contain unique math and gameplay.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “We are very proud to introduce the first game developed via our proprietary GATI technology and couldn’t be happier with the result. Victoria Wild is a feature-packed thriller with catchy art and multiple bonuses up for grabs. There is never a boring moment for players in this game.”
Vasily Polynov, Chief Business Development Officer, TrueLab, “This is our first game released as a YG Masters partner after joining earlier this year and we are excited to now be able to show it to operators and players.
“It has been fantastic to utilise all the elements of our YG Masters partnership. With Yggdrasil’s expertise and the GATI technology allowing our games to remain compliant throughout the development process, it has been a smooth, streamlined process which means we can focus on creating the best games possible and ensuring swift speed-to-market.”
