Yggdrasil and Peter & Sons go on an apocalyptic adventure in Wild One
Peter & Sons and Yggdrasil have partnered up for a dystopian adventure where rusting wrecks border the reels in latest launch Wild One.
The 6×4, 4,096 payline title brings a high volatility gameplay combined with the studio’s distinct visual art style for an action-packed thrill ride, filled to the brim with features and wilds.
Cascading wins are present throughout the game, with all winning symbols dissolving and new ones dropping down. There is a top reel above the game which can see wilds queued up, landing onto the reels below if there is space.
Multiple separate wilds can land, including Unbreakable Wilds, Expanding Wilds and Multiplier Wilds, all of which can be unlocked as players progress through the tier levels. Unbreakable ones stay on the reels even when participating in wins, while Expanding ones cover the entire reels for enhanced win potential. Multiplier Wilds can create huge wins if they land in a winning combination, with multipliers of up to 10x able to land.
Two scatter symbols will trigger the Scatter Blast feature, which will remove all symbols in a 3×3 square around the scatter, triggering an additional cascade for an increased chance of launching the bonus round. Two scatter blasts will increase the Wild level as well, unlocking the different styles of wilds.
Three or more scatters will trigger the free spins, awarding at least 10 free spins. During this mode, players are transported to an underground reelset, where wilds appear more often throughout the round and modified wilds can land on any reel for spectacular win potential. There’s no limit to the amount of cascades that can land at any time, with a max win potential of 5,000x, and respins can be retriggered if three Scatters land again.
It becomes the latest Peter & Sons title released through the YG Masters program, following Water Blox Gigablox™ and the award-winning Xibalba.
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 consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Peter & Sons keeps going from strength to strength as part of the YG Masters program, recently winning an award at the CasinoBeats Game Developer awards, and with the depth of its offering you can see why.
“Wild One brings an intense, post-apocalyptic environment to life, filled with wilds as players look to pile up the wins amongst the wreckage of civilisation.”
Yann Bautista, Business Development Manager at Peter & Sons, said: “We look to bring immersive, exciting content to the market with all our games, while telling a thrilling narrative, and Wild One is no different.
“Packed with multiple styles of wilds, we’re able to bring huge win potential alongside a unique theme to create one wild ride!”

The American Gaming Association (AGA) estimates that Americans will legally wager $3.1 billion on the men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments this year, up from $2.7 billion in 2024. This growth underscores the expanding legal sports betting market and the growing trust in legal wagering options.
“March Madness is one of the most exciting times in American sports, with fans fired up for both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments,” said AGA SVP of Strategic Communications Joe Maloney. “As legal wagering expands across the U.S., more fans than ever have the opportunity to bet legally and responsibly.”
Throughout the month of March, Have A Game Plan.® Bet Responsibly.
campaign will serve important messages to fans, encouraging responsible sports betting. The campaign promotes five key principles:
- Set a Budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend and stick to it.
- Keep it Social: Betting should be a form of entertainment shared with others.
- Know the Odds: Understand the games and your chances of winning.
- Play Legally: Use regulated, legal betting platforms.
- Keep Your Cool: The result of a bet – win or lose – is not an invitation to criticize players, coaches, or officials online or in-person.
“‘Keep Your Cool,’ our newest ‘Have A Game Plan’ principle, is all about keeping betting fun and respecting the game – no matter how unpredictable March Madness becomes,” Maloney added.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn PASPA in 2018, legal sports betting has expanded to 38 states and Washington, D.C., offering consumers safe and regulated options to engage with their favorite sports. Americans’ support for legal sports betting continues to grow. According to the AGA’s 2024 American Attitudes Survey, 75% of Americans support legal sports wagering in their home state, and 90% view sports betting as an acceptable form of entertainment.
