Yggdrasil Gaming launches new slot with opening week tournament

24 November 2015


(PRESS RELEASE) -- Yggdrasil Gaming has launched its latest video slot Nirvana, a journey through a tranquil valley of the three goddesses of Nirvana.

The game involves chasing the three goddesses and picking one when the players trigger and re-trigger free spins. The features they offer are wild seeds, mega reels and nudge reels, which give players the chance to see which goddess brings them the best luck.

The goddesses also feature in the base game providing a teaser of what is coming in the free spin bonus round.

Nirvana comes with a unique new launch in-game network tournament, with a total prize pool of €10,000, which runs from Nov. 24-30.

All operators launching Nirvana will be participating in the tournament and any player that reaches free spins in the slot for real money will qualify.

An in-client leaderboard, based on the highest coin win in free spins, means there is no need for players to leave the game.

There is also an additional in-game "pick 'n click" raffle engine, where players actively participate in a draw with €2,000 in the prize pool.

Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming, said: "We've already launched some incredible games this year, but Nirvana is set to be an absolute blockbuster with players chasing the three magical goddesses," said Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming. "More time and money has been spent on this game than any we've created before and our clients can’t wait for it to go live. The Nirvana Tournament is a key part of our 'Boost' collection of promo tools. We'll be rolling out a number of new tournaments and raffles in 2016.

"Player engagement is vital in today's competitive marketplace and I'm sure that our strategic focus on gamification is setting us apart from our rivals."

Yggdrasil's portfolio contains a wide range of popular casino games, including Chibeasties, Cyrus the Virus, Cazino Zeppelin, Jokerizer, Winterberries, Reef Run, The Dark Joker Rizes, Vikings Go Wild, Joker Millions Progressive, Holmes and the Stolen Stones and Doubles.

Yggdrasil was awarded software rising star at the EGR B2B Awards in May, the most high profile awards in the betting and gaming industry.
