Yggdrasil, the world's leading publisher of online gaming content, has rolled out the first YG Masters hit incorporating its thrilling Game Engagement Mechanic "GEM" MultiMax™, Crystal Falls MultiMax™, in collaboration with Bulletproof Games.
The 3×5 Crystal Falls MultiMax™ slot features cascading reels, where all winning symbols are removed, allowing new symbols to fall in their place. Cascade+ is a mechanic where stringing together multiple wins increases players' position on the free spins track. The higher they climb, the more spins are awarded.
Four or more successful stunts trigger free spins, where the MultiMax™ mechanic comes to life. During the bonus round, every time a wild symbol lands, it increases the MultiMax™ multiplier of each reel, with each reel having its own multiplier count. Each payline win is then multiplied by all the multipliers involved in each win. The multiplier count is not reset until the end of the free spins, with a total possible multiplier of 3,125x.
In Crystal Falls MultiMax™, there is the option to use the Encore game mode which allows players to significantly increase their frequency of success on free spins, at the cost of 50% more of their stake. By converting two losing positions into a respin, players have an additional chance to improve their track position.
In some jurisdictions, Crystal Falls MultiMax™ also offers a Buy-in bonus option, allowing players to immediately move on to free spins.
Crystal Falls MultiMax™ is the first YG Masters title to incorporate one of Yggdrasil's innovative "GEM" game engagement mechanisms. MultiMax™ is one of four GEMs offered by Yggdrasil. These mechanisms are present in the supplier's own titles and are also available for YG Masters partners to include in the development of their own games, with several studios already signed up to the offering.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programmes at Yggdrasil, said: "We are delighted with the performance of our GEMs, which take gaming experiences to the next level, and we are excited to introduce the first YG Masters title featuring our MultiMax™ mechanics." Crystal Falls MultiMax™ brings exciting gameplay filled with cascading wins, huge multipliers and many additional player-centric features. With more stunts leading to even bigger payouts, there is huge earning potential in this exciting new addition to our portfolio."
Michael Bullock, Technical Director at Bulletproof Games, said: "Crystal Falls MultiMax™ has a very unique and electrifying gameplay experience created from the complementary MultiMax™ and Cascade+ mechanics. With the addition of Encore game mode, players can change the game profile to suit their preferences. The exponential impact of MultiMax™ multipliers in free spins creates an increasingly thrilling feature where each new free spin is more valuable than the last, resulting in massive winning potential. We are thrilled that Crystal Falls MultiMax™ will be part of the YG Masters program, knowing that players around the world will be able to experience this special game."
