Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, is bubbling up big wins and truly memorable bonus features in its brand-new release Boilin’ Pots.

The 5×7 slot can expand on every single spin, with each arrow symbol that lands increasing the reel height by one. Should the reels expand to the maximum of seven symbols a series of Wild Re-spins are triggered in which Stacked Wilds come into play.

If players land three scatter symbols during base gameplay a bonus game is triggered, with the feature played on a board with just one payline. Whenever a symbol lands on the payline, it awards a multiplier prize. Players receive three lives with one lost each time the player does not land a winning symbol. However, these reset to three whenever one lands.

Should players trigger the bonus game with four or five scatter symbols a 10x or 100x cash prize is paid out respectively. This is alongside any other prizes earned from this lucrative feature. Impatient alchemists can trigger this feature via the Buy Bonus for 49.5x their stake.

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

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to introduce Boilin’ Pots to players across our distribution network.

“This devilishly fun slot has a whole host of fantastic bonus features and mechanics that we’re certain will be well received by everyone that opts to give it a spin.”

Great Canadian Entertainment and a consortium group of certain communities from the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe, through an entity affiliated with Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe Management Ltd. (the “Ts’elxwéyeqw Group”), announced that on November 7th, 2025, they entered into a definitive agreement for the purchase by the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group from Great Canadian Entertainment of Elements Casino Chilliwack, one of the premier gaming and entertainment destinations in the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia.

The Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe constitute seven First Nation communities and are the First People of the Chilliwack River watershed. The transaction represents a transformational milestone for the communities within the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group.

Elements Casino Chilliwack serves guests across the Fraser Valley and is Chilliwack’s top destination for gaming and entertainment, featuring over 300 slots, live and electronic table games, bingo, dining, live entertainment and more.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Great Canadian Entertainment will continue to provide transitional services and support to the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group for a period following closing.

“This purchase marks an exciting milestone for our Nations and for the entire territory. By coming together in partnership, we are not only investing in a strong business opportunity, but also in the future of our people. The revenues generated through this acquisition will help strengthen our communities, create new opportunities, and ensure our Nations continue to play a leading role in the local economy. Additionally, we believe that local community-based ownership of Elements Casino Chilliwack will further strengthen the broader Fraser Valley community and economy. It’s a proud moment that reflects how Indigenous leadership and collaboration can build a stronger, more inclusive future for everyone,” said Chief David Jimmie, Chief of Squiala First Nation and President of Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe Management Ltd.

“We are very excited to have entered into this agreement with the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group. We have had the privilege of being part of the Chilliwack community since we opened Elements Casino Chilliwack in 2012, and we believe that under the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group’s stewardship, the business will begin an exciting new chapter. For the team members and guests of Elements Casino Chilliwack, and the local community, we can think of no better owner for the business. We look forward to the closing and then working with the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group team during the transition period,” said Matt Anfinson, CEO of Great Canadian Entertainment.
