Yggdrasil welcomes Jogo Global: a new era of fast games begins in the YGG Masters program

August 5, 2025. A key date for Yggdrasil Gaming, which formalizes a new partnership in its YGG Masters program with Jogo Global, an Anglo-Brazilian studio specialized in fast games and crash games. A signing that is far from random. It marks a new step in the strategic diversification of Yggdrasil’s catalog, which has historically focused on highly immersive slot machines.

Fast games and crash games: the massive seduction weapon of online casinos

The online gaming market is undergoing a silent yet powerful transformation. While classic slot machines remain popular, it is now the ultra-dynamic formats fast games, crash games, high-volatility content that are grabbing the spotlight.

According to Statista, fast games grew by +31% in Europe between 2023 and 2024, especially on mobile. A growth that far exceeds that of table games and traditional slots.

“The player of 2025 wants speed, adrenaline, one click = one thrill. Crash games have become a reflex on mobile, as natural as scrolling through TikTok.”
Élodie F., independent iGaming analyst

Yggdrasil knows exactly what it's doing. By signing with Jogo Global, the provider anticipates the shift toward a new generation of hyper-connected players, accustomed to short, intense, and instantly rewarding sessions.

Jogo Global: between São Paulo and London, a borderless ambition

Founded by veterans of online gaming, Jogo Global is a casino game development studio with dual locations: in the United Kingdom and Brazil. This transatlantic presence is no coincidence it reflects a strategy of expansion toward emerging markets, especially in Latin America, where regulated gambling is booming.

Jogo Global doesn’t just produce games: it designs fast-paced, immersive experiences, calibrated for mobile conversion, with a particular mastery of volatility dynamics.

With its integration into the YGG Masters program, the studio will now benefit from GATI technology, a plug & play solution developed by Yggdrasil.

It allows:

• Development in a sandbox environment compliant with over 15 jurisdictions (including Sweden, the UK, Ontario, and Spain)

• Faster publication across the entire Yggdrasil operator network, totaling 250+ licensed casinos

“With GATI, a small studio becomes global. The code is standardized, and deployment happens in just a few clicks. It’s a massive lever.”
Mickaël R., iGaming developer based in Malta

A well-oiled expansion strategy: after DEGEN Studios, it's Jogo Global’s turn

Yggdrasil doesn’t slow down. One month before signing with Jogo Global, in July 2025, the company had already announced a partnership with DEGEN Studios, a young collective specialized in extreme and experimental games. Their playground? Glitches, twitchy pixels, total volatility.

With these two back-to-back signings, Yggdrasil subtly reshapes the DNA of the YGG Masters program: less classicism, more risk-taking, more disruptive formats.

The message is clear: Yggdrasil wants to engage today’s players and tomorrow’s.

Immediate visibility for Jogo Global’s games

Joining the YGG Masters program is more than a line on a studio’s CV. It’s a golden ticket to one of the most powerful distribution networks in the industry.

The direct result for Jogo Global? Massive exposure from day one, with premium positioning on partner platforms. A near-instant boost in visibility, with no technical barriers or regulatory delays.

Cross-testimonies: a collaboration built on ambition

David Marcus, CEO of Jogo Global, shares a clear and pragmatic vision:

“We have a solid portfolio of slots and fast games. But to level up, we needed a partner like Yggdrasil. Thanks to YGG Masters, we will accelerate our roadmap and strengthen our international presence.”

Zoe Bird, head of the program at Yggdrasil, adds with enthusiasm:

“Jogo Global has already proven its worth. Their ambition is clear: to become a major player in fast games. Their integration is a logical next step in our diversification strategy.”

A new generation of studios in the YGG Masters ecosystem

By joining YGG Masters, Jogo Global becomes part of a carefully curated constellation of studios. Each one has a unique style, a distinctive DNA, but they all share an obsession with innovation and performance.

A deep strategy, not a passing trend

The integration of Jogo Global is not a marketing stunt it’s another key building block in Yggdrasil’s intelligent overhaul of its content offering.

The rise of fast-paced games, the growing demand for crash or minimalist formats, and the fragmentation of the mobile market all point in the same direction.

“Fast gaming in 2025 is what video slots were in 2010. Those who embrace it early will lead tomorrow.”

FAQ - Yggdrasil & Jogo Global: Everything you didn’t know yet!

What type of fast games does Jogo Global actually develop?

Jogo Global specializes in ultra-short session games, with simple, instant mechanics, often inspired by mobile mini-games or arcade formats. This includes crash games, instant roulettes, or pick-and-reveal games. The goal is to trigger adrenaline without complexity and offer gameplay designed for mobile scrolling.

Has Yggdrasil ever released a fast game in-house before this partnership?

No! Until now, Yggdrasil has focused on complex slot machines with storytelling, advanced features, and highly polished visuals. Jogo Global is the first partner to formally introduce this type of content into the Yggdrasil universe, via YGG Masters. This marks a notable shift in their product approach.

Will Jogo Global’s games be customized for operators?

Yes! Thanks to GATI technology, games can be graphically or thematically adapted at the request of operators. This includes visual skins, custom multipliers, or even exclusive bonus modes! It enhances their appeal in exclusive campaigns, tournaments, or sponsored events.

What are the differences between a fast game and a traditional slot machine?

• Session duration: A fast game lasts just a few seconds, while a slot relies on the repetition of spins.

• Interface: Minimalist for fast games, immersive and animated for classic slots.

• Volatility: Often very high in fast games, to maximize the feeling of instant risk.

• Target audience: Mobile-first players, younger users, familiar with “tap & win” mechanics, versus fans of deeper and more visually refined games.

Why did Yggdrasil choose Jogo Global over other fast game providers?

Yggdrasil looks for agile partners, technically mature, and regulatory-compliant. Jogo Global met all these criteria: an international structure, experience in multi-jurisdictional development, and a well-advanced roadmap with several fast/casino titles.

Moreover, their ability to adapt their games to the GATI architecture was likely a key factor.

Does this partnership pave the way for crash games signed "Yggdrasil"?

Not directly. The games will remain Jogo Global-branded, but co-published under the YGG Masters umbrella. That said, if performance is strong, Yggdrasil may eventually develop its own fast games in-house, or through co-development with other studios.

Will Jogo Global’s games be available as exclusives on certain casinos?

Yes, some titles may have temporary exclusive launches, especially in high-potential countries like Brazil, Spain, or India. These exclusivities allow partner casinos to gain a competitive edge and attract early adopters.

What impact will this partnership have on more traditional YGG Masters studios?

It creates complementarity more than competition. While studios like 4ThePlayer or ReelPlay develop narrative-driven or feature-rich slots, Jogo Global meets a different market demand.

Yggdrasil’s objective is to build a multi-segment catalog, rather than stacking similar games.
