Yggdrasil and its partner from the YGG Master program, HungryBear, are getting ready to offer a groundbreaking product to its players.

After receiving the necessary approval from the UK Gambling Commission, they will launch a real money variant of the popular SlotMasters.

A game changer for all slot fans

The move represents a huge milestone for Yggdrasil and HungryBear, as it makes SlotMasters the first game from the software provider’s portfolio to offer the real money gaming multiplier experience. At the same time, both sides plan to expand the new gameplay further into other key jurisdictions, such as Malta.

SlotMasters boasts the best elements of slot gameplay together with additional fun and engagement. This also includes tournament-style gaming, designed to further boost the existing playing experience.

Players will take on each other in action-packed sessions lasting 2 minutes. Three players will have a wide range of tools at their disposal, which can be used to steal points for each other. The ultimate goal is to increase the game’s interactive element.

The approval from the Gambling Commission shows that Yggdrasil and HungryBear want to deliver a regulation-ready solution that’s primarily focused on players.

SlotMasters has been available as a free-to-play option for the last four years, but now, the focus has shifted towards real money gaming. The change is expected to add more excitement to the main concept, and the approval from the British regulator means the new experience will reach players in one of Europe’s key markets.

Impacting the global slot gameplay

Commenting on the UKGC approval, Justin Chamberlain, CEO at HungryBear, said the licensure represented a historic moment for the developer and a testament to its hard work and commitment.

He pointed out that his company, along with Yggdrasil, had pushed the boundaries of slot gaming. Chamberlain also added the move would lead the entire industry to a new era.

According to Chamberlain, the success SlotMasters made so far as a free-to-play game shows it could be equally popular as a real money option.

At the same time, Jose Simon, Commercial Director at Yggdrasil, said he was delighted to see SlotMasters receive a real money gaming variant.

Simon explained the move was sure to become a game-changer, marking the beginning of a new chapter in slot gameplay not only in the UK but on a global scale as well.

In the meantime, Yggdrasil continues to work on new pokies, with Thor’s Hammer Time ready to hit the market in early 2025.
