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.”

PropellerAds rolls out Interactive Ads format aimed at higher-intent clicks

Published

PropellerAds has launched Interactive Ads, a new ad format the company says is designed to improve click quality and increase conversion rates by adding a brief interaction before users reach an advertiser’s landing page.

Interactive Ads require users to complete a lightweight action—such as swiping, selecting, taking a mini quiz, or clicking a confirmation—before continuing. PropellerAds positions this “engagement step” as a filter for high-intent users, with the aim of reducing accidental clicks and low-interest traffic that can dilute campaign performance.

The company said the format is designed to be activated within existing campaign workflows and does not require additional creative assets or technical development. PropellerAds also said its platform automatically selects the interaction type based on advertiser goals and user characteristics.

PropellerAds suggested the format can be used alongside other ad approaches in a broader funnel—for example, using Social Commerce to generate initial traffic and Interactive Ads to qualify users before conversion.

Separately, PropellerAds said it was featured in G2’s Summer Report, which the software marketplace compiles using verified customer reviews, market presence, and user feedback.
