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.”

Intelitics adds generative AI visual reporting tool for iGaming marketers
Intelitics has launched Actionable Intelligence, a generative AI reporting feature designed to let iGaming and sports betting marketing teams create custom data visualisations on demand using plain-language questions.
The company said the tool builds on Intelitics’ existing reporting stack used to track partner performance, campaign ROI and acquisition metrics. Instead of commissioning a new report or writing code, users can query the same dataset and receive a chart or visualisation in response.
Use cases cited by Intelitics include comparing partner performance by traffic source, drilling into individual campaigns, and breaking down player value by acquisition channel. Intelitics said the feature interprets iGaming and affiliate marketing terms including partners, offers, traffic sources, player value, acquisition channels, GGR and NGR, without requiring users to translate requests into SQL.
“The data our customers need to make better decisions has always been inside Intelitics,” said Allan Stone, founder and CEO of Intelitics. “Actionable Intelligence makes it accessible on their terms, with no technical skills required and no waiting for a report to be built. We designed it so that everyone on a marketing team, not just the analysts, can explore their data and act on what they find – and we built it to understand the way iGaming and affiliate marketers actually talk about their business, from partners and offers to GGR and NGR.”
On data governance, Intelitics said Actionable Intelligence runs within each customer’s Intelitics environment. The company stated that customer data is not pooled across accounts, shared with third parties, or used to train any model outside that environment, and that each visualisation is generated only from the customer’s own Intelitics data. The feature is available to Intelitics customers.
