Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has brought back its iconic Moai statue duo, and this time they’re going on an epic holiday in Easter Island 2.

The latest voyage takes the duo and their bird sidekick to trendy Venice Beach where they are surrounded by sand, palm trees and parasols. Easter Island 2 is packed with vacation vibes for players to chill out to. But don’t get too relaxed. Those seeking exciting gameplay and great win potential are sure to find it.

Players can blow the roof off this LA adventure when a six-of-a-kind win triggers expanding reels, seeing the grid grow to an 8×6 matrix, with 55 paylines possible for the winning respin.

Any winning spin awards a Symbol Swap Respin which sees the winning symbol replace all low-paying equivalents, and also increasing win potential during respins. Wins of four, five or six in a row are awarded a colossal symbol, with bigger wins leading to larger symbols. A wild Colossal Symbol can also land on any spin leading to huge cash prizes.

Easter Island 2 features characters and symbols that players will be familiar with from the hit prequel but with an updated theme and feature set which takes the title to a new level.

The game joins established hits such as the Vikings-series, Multifly in Yggdrasil’s high-performing games portfolio.

Asko Heiskanen, Chief Gaming and Development Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “The mischievous Moai are back and full of action. Every win triggers a respin which can lead to exceptional rewards. Watch out for a six-of-a-kind win which will trigger expanding reels. They’ll boom to a sky-high 8×6 matrix with 55 paylines which means not only more, but bigger wins. Features aside, the game’s layout has been designed with players completely in mind. We understand players’ mobile-first, portrait preference, so we build the games’ UX totally around them.

“Easter Island 2 will see players enjoying every step with our favourite characters from a classic and well-loved Yggdrasil title.”

Spinomenal has released Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3, adding a new Hold & Hit title to its slots portfolio.

The game runs on a 3×3 reel set and uses the Quetzal Bird as the Wild, substituting for all symbols except Bonus symbols. Two special Bonus symbols drive the main feature: Bonus symbols can land only on reels one and three, while Bonus Collect can land only on reel two.

The Bonus Game triggers when Bonus Collect lands alongside one or more Bonus symbols. Triggering symbols lock and the feature starts with three spins; during the feature only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can appear. Each spin can award multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15, and the round ends after three spins without a win or when total collected winnings reach the max x5000 multiplier.

Spinomenal said Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini in-game jackpot symbols can appear during the feature and pay immediately. A Bonus Blast feature can also trigger randomly to add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols, and Spinomenal said Bonus Collect can still collect values even if it lands without starting the Bonus Game.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3 casts players into a mysterious jungle on the hunt for Aztec riches enhanced by some cool gameplay features. The titles’s beautiful visuals and proven Hold & Hit mechanics come together perfectly to give players an experience for the ages.”
