McCarthy: “It’s a fantastic partnership for us that brings innovative content to players across the world”
22nd August 2022 – Yggdrasil and AvatarUX have partnered for an African adventure in the studio’s latest YG Masters launch, RagingPop™.
RagingPop™ is the latest title by AvatarUX to contain the hugely popular PopWins™ mechanic, bringing a new element of excitement to every spin.
Throughout gameplay, a Golden Rhino acts as a super-high symbol, paying out with just a combination of two symbols, rather than three.
In addition, every time the reels are spun, the Raging Reel feature can be triggered, which will see Rhinos rampage across the screen, raising reel heights and adding multipliers to the matrix which can reach up to 500x in height.
In base play, through the ‘popping’ of wins, reels can reach up to six symbols high, while in the bonus this can hit seven, for increased win potential and anticipation building with every pop.
Three or more scatter symbols will award the free spins mode, which launches a multi-stage gamble mode, where players can spin a Gamble Wheel for increased free spins if successful. Multiple successful spins can lead to up to 30 free spins being awarded.
During the bonus round, there is progressive reel growth, with every reel growing by one symbol after 10 spins. This process is repeatable until max reel height is reached.
As with all YG Masters titles, RagingPop™ 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.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “RagingPop™ is another exciting addition to our portfolio, and we’re thrilled to launch it across Yggdrasil’s broad network of operators. It’s another strong milestone for us, and we look forward to seeing how our collaborations continue to bear fruit.”
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “AvatarUX is a standout studio in its own right and it’s a fantastic partnership for us that brings innovative content to players across the world. We can’t wait to see how operators receive the latest PopWins™ creation.”
