Yggdrasil sets sail in menacing pirate-themed release Cannonade!
All hands are on deck in Yggdrasil’s brand-new release Cannonade! as the studio invites seadogs to take on its most swashbuckling slot to-date.
The title offers a maximum win of 17,000x the stake by way of several lucrative features and mechanics, including Win Streaks, Free Spins and Gambles.
The most prominent mechanic in Cannonade! is Win Streak, where all winning symbols are held in position following a win. Wherever the same symbol lands, it will be locked and held with the blocker symbol removed, allowing for more symbols and more winning ways during a respin.
The Free Spins mode is activated by landing three or more bonus symbols on the same spin or triggering the Win Streak and landing three or more bonus symbols. Landing any Free Spins symbol during the bonus itself will see the lowest paid symbol removed from the reels as well as an additional Free Spin awarded.
When triggering the Free Spins feature, the option to gamble for more spins or accept the current number and start the bonus is offered. After successfully gambling for additional spins, the player may gamble again or start the session. Losing the gamble ends the bonus entirely.
Should players wish to cut to the chase and jump straight into the action they can purchase the bonus for either 100x or 500x their stake. The standard Bonus Buy triggers six free spins whilst the VIP bonus buy triggers 15 with a max win potential of 20,000x.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Cannonade! is a game that we’ve all been looking forward to releasing for some time. This truly wonderful slot boasts a boatload of lucrative features and mechanics that we’re sure players are going to love. There is plenty of loot to be won here, so don’t delay and step aboard the ship as we prepare set sail!”

Soft2Bet Wins in Two Categories at the EGR B2B Awards 2026
Soft2Bet has won two major honours at the EGR B2B Awards 2026. The igaming company took home titles for Innovation in Mobile and Innovation in Casino Software.
The awards recognise Soft2Bet’s ability to turn product development into practical growth tools for operators, from native mobile apps and platform migration to MEGA and back-office control. Its technology is shaped by local market needs, partner strategy and strict compliance standards, helping operators launch securely, adapt quickly and grow in competitive markets.
The Innovation in Casino Software award highlights Soft2Bet’s casino platform, back-office tools and MEGA, its Motivational Engineering Gaming Application. The platform brings casino, sportsbook, CRM, CMS, KYC, payments, risk, promotions and player engagement into a single operating setup, giving operators greater control and reducing the need to manage multiple suppliers.
MEGA adds gamification engines to casino and sportsbook journeys through missions, challenges, rewards, segmentation and player progression. For operators, this supports stronger retention, higher LTV and clearer commercial performance. Recent network performance figures show 190% year-on-year Casino Games GGR growth, 173% year-on-year Sportsbook GGR growth, more than 200 million game rounds processed each day and 99.99% platform uptime.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Commercial Officer at Soft2Bet, said: “Recognition from EGR is a strong endorsement of the product development our teams are delivering across mobile, casino software and gamification. Operators want technology that helps them compete, retain players and improve performance without adding unnecessary complexity. These awards support that direction and give us added momentum as we bring MEGA and our platform to more partners.”
The Innovation in Mobile award highlights Soft2Bet’s native app delivery and mobile-first design. Its edge-optimised mobile architecture supports fast load times, stable gameplay, simple one-thumb navigation, haptic feedback, adjustable text sizes and voice-enabled navigation.
Recent mobile work across Betinia and Swiper shows how Soft2Bet creates distinct app journeys for different brands and markets. Betinia reached No. 1 in Sweden and Denmark, and QuickCasino Sweden recorded a 30% improvement in conversion following an App Store Product Page test.
Soft2Bet’s two wins at the EGR B2B Awards 2026 add further recognition to 10 years of building iGaming technology for operators. The company continues to expand its B2B turnkey offering for operators seeking platform migration, native mobile apps and support for new market launches.
Each project is shaped around local player behaviour, partner strategy and strict compliance standards, helping operators enter markets securely and reduce operational complexity. MEGA, Soft2Bet’s API-based gamification product for casino and sportsbook, adds missions, rewards, segmentation and player progression, supporting stronger engagement, retention, LTV and long-term commercial performance.
