Peter & Sons’ second YG Masters title in one month

Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, and YG Masters partner Peter & Sons have launched epic adventure slot Robin – Sherwood Marauders featuring the greatest archer known to man.

The legendary Robin Hood and his merry men chase the rich to save the poor in this thrilling title set in the darkest depths of the notorious Sherwood Forest where the heroes lay in wait to steal coins from wicked tax collectors.

The 6×4 all-ways pay game offers 4,096 ways to win and comes with exciting features including Avalanche Cascades, increasing prize multipliers, expanding Wilds and Super Free Spins.

Avalanche Cascades are triggered when a win lands on the reels causing the winning tiles to disappear. New symbols then fall from above to fill the empty spaces for a chance to create more winning combinations. Each new cascade increases an overall win multiplier by one. The multiplier resets to 1x when there are no more cascading wins.

Ten Free Spins are awarded when three or more bonus symbols land on the reel with each scatter symbol adding an additional two spins. During the mode, a multiplier is applied to all wins. The feature also come with expanding Wilds symbols which expand to cover the whole reels.

Super Free Spins is launched when a progress bar displayed in the main game is filled with treasure chest scatter symbols. Ten free spins are awarded, and multipliers start at random value with expanding wilds landing more frequently.

Robin – Sherwood Marauders is Peter & Sons’ second YG Masters launch in just one month following the successful release of Johnan Legendarian in March.

The game is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology, which enables partners to employ a preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Peter & Sons produce instantly recognisable content and are masters at developing premium titles with unparalleled design and graphics coupled with highly entertaining gameplay.

“Starring a legendary character known around the world and packed with gripping features, this is a title that all slots fans will love and we can’t wait to see what more Peter & Sons will develop through YG Masters.”

Yann Bautista, Business Development Manager at Peter & Sons, said: “Our unique take on one of the world’s most famous folktales offers players a thrilling and engaging experience while chasing big wins.

“Like all our titles, Robin – Sherwood Marauders is beautifully illustrated with charming characters and music and fun features that keep players on the edge of their seats. Creating our content via GATI ensures a rapid development process and wide distribution and we couldn’t be happier to be part of the YG Masters program.”
