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.”

Evoplay, the celebrated game development studio, is showcasing an Ancient Greek myth in its newest release, Three Trojan Horses, where heroes and warriors clash on the reels for fame and prizes.

Three magnificent horses protect the walls of Troy in this title, each possessing its unique ability – Extra Spins, Extra Coins, and Extra Gift. The boosters become active when colored Scatter symbols appear in the main game, initiating free spins with extra strength.

Blue Scatters provide immediate cash rewards up to 10x, red ones bring additional golden Scatter symbols onto the reels, while green symbols can appear granting one extra free spin.

At the beginning of the feature, there are seven free spins, and the bonus round can be played with one, two, or all three boosters activated, leading to seven potential variations. When all three boosters are working, their abilities merge, enhancing the likelihood of legendary victories.

Getting three or more golden Scatter symbols in any position on the reels during the main game or Free Spins triggers a Scatter Jackpot. The greater the number of Scatters, the larger the reward, as 12 or more provide 1,000 times the wager.

The mythical Odysseus, the strategist extraordinaire, serves as the Wild symbol in Three Trojan Horses, appearing on reels 2 to 5 in both the primary game and Free Spins, transforming each spin into an opportunity to secure a monumental prize.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Packed with engaging features, boosters and a rewarding Scatter Jackpot, Three Trojan Horses is a great addition to our growing portfolio of games that captivate players with their diverse range of mechanics, features, and themes.”
