Yggdrasil Gaming has established itself as a company which is one of the industry’s leading software developers after being founded a decade ago in 2013. The Swedish company, which operates out of the iGaming superhub of Malta, is unlike many other developers in the sector, as the focus is on producing high-quality games, which happens at a slower rate than those keen to develop software quickly but usually to a lesser standard. Creating high-quality online slots is what Yggdrasil are very much renowned for, especially visually, where their software excels.
Top Yggdrasil slots
While Yggdrasil Gaming have developed some superb slots in the last decade, there are several that stand out and display all the hallmarks of a Yggdrasil Gaming slot release.
Hades: Gigablox
The Gigablox series of slots is something Yggdrasil are renowned for, and in the Hades version, players will be dealing with the underworld run by Hades in ancient Greece. With a top prize of 11,219x available and a free spins feature, there’s a lot to like about Hades: Gigablox. But it’s the Gigablox system that brings the game to life.
Hyper Burst
Hyper Burst sees Yggdrasil deliver a slot game that is incredibly easy on the eye, and they win that successfully with straightforward gameplay to great effect. It’s not often you will look at a slot that has only one feature and believe it will be everything you’re looking for, but the way the Hyper Respins mode works ticks all the boxes you need it to and then some.
Holmes and the Stolen Stones
How about a slot that not only impresses visually but also has a great storyline? Well, that’s precisely what Yggdrasil give players in Holmes and the Stolen Stones, a slot that’s based around Sherlock Holmes, the detective. All good detectives make the right decisions when required, which makes the pick ‘em style feature so fitting here. There are also jackpot spins that can lead to big prizes.
Vikings Trilogy
As far as slot game trilogies go, the Vikings Trilogy by Yggdrasil is one of the best, and its popularity is of no surprise.
Vikings Go Berserk Reloaded
Yggdrasil’s Vikings Go Berserk Reloaded sees Norse men and women, also known as Berserkers, who are legendary warriors, set out on a journey across the North Sea on a longship. This slot is a reloaded version of the original Vikings Go Berserk, so it’s bigger and better than what’s gone before. Features include two different free spin rounds and the chance for treasure chests to produce modifiers such as sticky wilds.
Vikings Go To Hell
The title of Vikings Go To Hell is pretty self-explanatory. In the Vikings Trilogy, we’ve seen the Vikings go to different places on different adventures, but this is their toughest test yet. However, players will find the slot to be enjoyable, especially as the free spins round is progressive and can eventually lead to the rewarding Berserk Free Spins feature.
Vikings Go To Valhalla
They’ve gone berserk, and they’ve even gone to hell and back. But this time, the Vikings are off to pastures new in Vikings Go To Valhalla. They will come against a foe in the form of the serpent king Jormungandr, but this can lead to positive outcomes such as respins and free spins. The Viking Battles feature is what will get the blood pumping in this one, but can the Vikings come out on top against Jormungandr?
Valley of the Gods Series
Another excellent collection of slots by Yggdrasil is the Valley of the Gods games. They epitomise everything the studio is about in the best way.
Valley of the Gods
The Valley of the Gods slot series sees Yggdrasil Gaming take players on an adventure to ancient Egypt, a popular destination for slots. As always, Valley of the Gods is excellently designed by Yggdrasil, something you just come to expect from this developer. Valley of the Gods offers players straightforward yet engaging gameplay, with over 3,000 ways to win. Alongside that are respins and there’s also the cushion of extra lives. It’s a great start to what is a fine series.
Valley of the Gods 2
When you have a slot that proves popular with players, the next step is to develop a sequel, something Yggdrasil were keen to do on the back of the success of Valley of the Gods. They were also eager to ensure Valley of the Gods 2 kept all the good stuff from the original but still represented a significant improvement, which it does. The bonus features again build off one another, which makes things fun, and there are multipliers and extra lives to boot.
