Gunpowder from Peter & Sons and Yggdrasil beat to quarters in a high-seas naval epic

Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil and YGG Masters partner Peter & Sons have shaken up the pirate slot genre with Gunpowder, a battle for oceanic supremacy with a hold full of rich naval-inspired features.

A volatile slot with 10 paylines, Gunpowder promises sticky wilds elevated with respins for the bravest of seadogs. A powerful free spins game sees the Phantom Power feature and retriggers wrapped up in the signature polished animation that Peter & Sons is renowned for.

The theme pits several competing naval vessels against each other in a cutthroat high-stakes battle to decide the ruler of the waves, including ghost ships that use the ethereal power of phantoms to tip the scales in their favour.

Triggered randomly in the base game, Phantom Power comes into its own when a wild lands, initiating a respin. The wild will then battle all high-value symbols surrounding it. The defeated vessel transforms into additional wilds if victorious, with an extra respin awarded.

The main game can also see scatters land on the reels with three or more of them launching the free spins game. Wilds are sticky and remain in play until the bonus round has finished. When all reels include a wild, free spins are retriggered, awarding five extra spins.

Offering the chance at even greater rewards, the Golden Bet empowers players who pay x0.5 extra per bet and increases the chance of getting sticky wilds in the main game or triggering free spins.

Gunpowder is powered by GATI, 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.

Zoe Bird, Senior Product & Program Manager at Yggdrasil, said: “Peter & Sons games are unmistakable for their incredibly rich design and attention to detail, not only in their animation but in their feature sets too. Gunpowder continues these standards and broadens our YGG Masters game library with another hit.”
