Yggdrasil, the leading global publisher of online gambling content, has released its latest thrilling title Syncronite, featuring the Splitz mechanic, the supplier’s popular innovation introduced this year.

In Syncronite, players are invited to a luxury art-deco environment with atmospheric music and beautifully designed diamonds and casino chips filling the reels. All to create a premium feel without skimping on exciting gameplay.

Yggdrasil’s Splitz symbols are only available on synchronised reels, meaning you will always land Splitz symbols on multiple reels, up to all six reels in the game.

The number of ways to win can go from a minimum of 729 up to 21,168 from a lucky Splitz.

Another exciting feature in Syncronite is Synced Reels, which gives two to six synchronized reels on every spin. The synchronised reels will all land the same set of symbols, leading to massive Big Win potential, especially when landing Splitz symbols.

Syncronite is the latest Yggdrasil slot to use its proprietary Splitz, as well as its plethora of YG Masters content.

Jonas Strandman, Senior Games Strategist at Yggdrasil, said: “Syncronite is a game for the true casino lover with a premium design and high gambling value. The mechanics are all familiar to players, but the combination of Synced Reels and Splitz is a killer combo, giving so many thrills and excellent win potential. Do you know any other game that can pay out 64,800 times the stake in one single hit, straight from the base game?

“Despite the insane win potential, the game will be easy on the players’ bankroll, giving decent mid-sized wins often enough to keep the interest up. Syncronite is an impressive production with balanced math and classic gambling excitement. It’s a game that all player types can appreciate and love.”

Esports and live events operator says it stayed profitable in 2025 and plans 15 arena events across 13 cities in 2026.

BLAST has opened a New York City headquarters in Brooklyn as the company reported record growth and profitability in 2025, including more than $133 million in revenue and over 40% year-over-year growth.

The new U.S. headquarters is located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. BLAST said the hub will support partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America as it expands its U.S. operations.

The North American push is being led by Chief Business Officer Leo Matlock, who has relocated to New York, alongside Steve Rossi, who joined earlier this year as SVP of Brand Partnerships. BLAST said its U.S. team has grown to eight full-time employees.

BLAST said it has staged seven tier-one esports events in North America over the past 16 months, across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The company cited “more than $102 million” in economic impact from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major alone, including more than $9 million in hotel expenditures. It also recently announced the Rocket League World Championship will return to Fort Worth in September 2026.

In 2025, BLAST said its broadcasts delivered more than 2 billion live views globally and 300 million hours watched, spanning live events in 22 cities worldwide. The company also said it distributes content via 29 broadcast partners, including SuperSport, France TV and RTBF, reaching audiences in more than 150 territories and 30+ languages.

“Competitive entertainment has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in global media because it combines community, technology and live experiences in entirely new ways,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST. “The next generation of fans want entertainment that feels participatory, social and global by default. That shift is creating enormous opportunities for brands, publishers, creators and host cities, and we believe BLAST is uniquely positioned to help lead that evolution after a landmark year in 2025.” BLAST said it plans to host 15 arena events across 13 cities and three continents in 2026.
