Yggdrasil releases real Christmas cracker with YG Masters partner True Lab
Yggdrasil, the leading global publisher of online gambling content, has unveiled its latest festive game Christmas Tree in partnership with YG Masters studio True Lab.
Christmas Tree combines stunning visuals, absorbing gameplay and joyful music for a fun-filled slot with everything you would expect this festive season. The reels take the shape of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree while snowflakes gently flutter among its glittering lights and Santa, of course, makes an appearance.
Five or more identical symbols in a diagonal cluster on the reels form a winning combination. The winning clusters are removed as new symbols cascade down to fill the empty spaces.
Players will receive a Christmas Present after three of more cascades. When unwrapped, it will contain either win multipliers up to x30, five free spins or from five to 1,000 bets.
A friendly snowman surveys the wintry scene hurling snowballs to turn symbols Wild and a Blizzard gives players an even greater chance of winning in this Christmas cracker of a slot.
The seasonal slot is the second game in partnership with YG Masters studio True Lab, using Yggdrasil’s cutting-edge Game Adaptation Tools & Interface (GATI) technology which enables developers to publish state-of-the-art content using the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit. Christmas Tree follows the studio’s successful hit slot Victoria Wild which was launched through the YG Masters program earlier this year.
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 all getting in the Christmas spirit so we’re delighted to introduce True Lab’s second game developed via the YG Masters and our revolutionary GATI technology.
“Christmas Tree is a fun-filled, captivating game that I’m sure will get everyone in the mood for the festive season. I’m sure players will love this game and, while we encourage putting on your best Christmas jumper, it’s not compulsory.”
Vasily Polynov, Chief Business Development Officer at True Lab, said: “The capabilities of the superb state-of-the-art GATI technology is shown off to great effect with Christmas Tree. It’s been an exciting year for us and we are thrilled to release our second game as a YG Masters partner and to show off how well our relationship is working.
“In Christmas Tree, our developers have come up with such an innovative and immersive game that’s so enjoyable to play. It’s certainly going to be a happy Christmas for slot fans.”

Sweden-based supplier Cubeia integrates its proprietary, brandable Originals content into the operator’s offering.
Vera & John International has gone live with Cubeia’s Originals Studio games, integrating the Sweden-based supplier’s proprietary titles into its player offering.
Cubeia said the launch gives the operator access to fully brandable in-house games aimed at supporting engagement and retention. The supplier positioned the Originals portfolio around “provably fair mechanics, gamification elements, and community-driven gameplay,” and said it includes crash and instant-win formats.
Tobias Fogelberg, Chief Commercial Officer at Cubeia, said: “We’re proud to see Vera & John International go live with our Originals. This is exactly what we’ve been building towards—giving operators something that feels truly their own, not just another catalogue of the same games everyone else has.
“The flexibility and branding possibilities are a big part of it, but it’s also about creating games that players actually want to come back to. That’s where Originals make a real difference.”
Cubeia also linked the rollout to its wider product stack, including its Cubeia Nano platform, which it said is designed to give operators “full control” and scalability. The company added it will continue investing in Originals Studio and plans to expand the portfolio with additional titles and features.
