Yggdrasil and Hot Rise Games sharpen swords in Excalibur VS GigaBlox™
Yggdrasil, a leading iGaming publisher, has called Hot Rise Games to its banners with their exhilarating combat epic, Excalibur VS GigaBlox™.
Excalibur VS GigaBlox™ is the latest game to utilise Yggdrasil’s GigaBlox™ Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) with six brave warriors filling the reels, looking to form big wins across any of the 50 paylines available, while at least one supersized symbol lands on every spin.
Five or more shining gems will trigger the Highrise Respins, which awards players an initial three respins. For every successful spin, this count resets. The higher each column rises, the bigger the rewards for each symbol in the column. Filling the top row with ‘VERSUS’ icons will put the wins in the respective columns on nitro, whilst completing the set will provide for super-charged wins of mythical proportions.
Excalibur VS GigaBlox™ is the newest YG Masters release from Hot Rise Games, who, via their agreement with ReelPlay are able to provide standout content across the initiative. Hot Rise’s VS series has built up a serious following via former releases Nightmares VS GigaBlox™, Gods VS GigaBlox™ and Monsters VS GigaBlox™.
Excalibur VS GigaBlox™ 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.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Excalibur VS GigaBlox™ is another superb addition to the YG Masters program from the excellent team at Hot Rise.
“We’re thrilled to roll out the latest in Hot Rise’s VS series of games, which have seen iconic characters from history and fiction come to life on the reels!”
David Johnson, CEO at ReelPlay, said: “We’re delighted to help bring to market Hot Rise’s latest VS game with our partners at Yggdrasil. This latest collaboration utilises a popular Yggdrasil GEM combined with Hot Rise smarts to give players another rewarding spinning experience.”

WinSpirit Launches Alchemy of Passion: A Birthday Campaign Combining Gamification, Rewards, and Player Engagement
This summer, WinSpirit celebrates its birthday with Alchemy of Passion, a large-scale promotional campaign designed to create deeper player engagement through gamification, storytelling, and immersive rewards.
Built around the concept of discovering the legendary Elixir of Passion, the campaign transforms traditional promotional mechanics into an interactive journey. Players are invited to collect ingredients, complete quests, unlock rewards, and explore new experiences — turning every spin and action into part of a larger adventure.
Throughout the campaign, players can access multiple engagement features, including the Gift Portal, Gift Shop, Mystery Elixirs, quests, tournaments, and exclusive bonuses created specifically for the celebration.
From a product perspective, Alchemy of Passion highlights WinSpirit’s approach to developing creative promotional solutions that help operators increase player interaction, strengthen loyalty, and deliver memorable brand experiences. By combining narrative-driven mechanics with rewarding gameplay elements, the campaign provides partners with a flexible engagement tool designed to support retention and long-term player relationships.
The campaign also reflects WinSpirit’s continued investment in innovation, exploring new ways to connect entertainment, technology, and player-focused experiences within the iGaming ecosystem.
This birthday celebration is WinSpirit’s way of thanking the community that continues to shape the brand. Instead of simply marking another milestone, the company is creating new opportunities for players to interact, discover rewards, and celebrate together.
While Alchemy of Passion is already live, another major experience is being prepared behind the scenes. Soon, players and partners will get their first look at Euphoria Lab — a brand-new concept designed to bring an entirely new level of engagement.
The celebration has begun. The formula continues to evolve, and the next chapter is about to unfold.

SpringbokCasino ties July free spins to ‘Minions in the Wild’ campaign
SpringbokCasino.co.za has launched a July promotion offering players 25 free spins on SpinLogic slot title Seahorse Surge, using coupon code MINIONS. The operator said the offer is valid throughout July on its South Africa-facing site.
The campaign is positioned around a “Minions in the Wild – Nature’s Greatest Helpers” theme, timed to coincide with the release window of a new Minions film. SpringbokCasino’s creative frames the promotion through five animal “archetypes” — meerkats, hyenas, dassies, warthogs and elephants — as analogies for different styles of play.
“Every ecosystem needs its helpers, and every winning session needs the right mix of patience, timing, and a little bit of glorious chaos,” said Daniel Van Wyke, Casino Manager at SpringbokCasino. “This July, we celebrate South Africa’s wildest ‘Minions’—and give our players 25 free spins to cause some fun trouble of their own.”
SpringbokCasino described Seahorse Surge as featuring “cascading wins and rising multipliers.”
