Yggdrasil and ReelPlay are teaming up to launch Hot Rise Games' first slot, Legion - Hot 1™.

Yggdrasil and ReelPlay have launched the first title from brand new studio Hot Rise Games, inviting players to join brave legionaries and conquer ancient Rome in the latest feature-packed Legion - Hot 1™ from YG Masters.

Hot Rise Games is the latest quality studio to use ReelPlay's expertise to bring its creations to life, with Legion - Hot 1™ taking players on a collectible slots journey from the peaceful life of a legionary in the countryside to the battle for wealth in the city.

As Shields are collected in the base game, new symbol positions and multipliers are unlocked on the reels, increasing the payouts and intensity of the game. Once four shields are collected on any of the reels, the Free Spins feature is triggered. The upgrades collected on the reels are retained, while the Wild x2 symbols further increase the excitement. The final spin is the Hot 1™ - where a reel gets a multiplied Sticky Wild for the potential for sensational big wins.

In some jurisdictions, a Buy Bonus feature is also available, allowing players to go straight to the free spins.

The game is delivered through the YG Masters programme and is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil's cutting-edge technology that allows partners to use the pre-configured, regulatory-ready and standardised development toolkit to produce consistent cutting-edge content, followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programmes at Yggdrasil, said: "Legion - Hot 1 takes players back to the glory days of Rome where brave legionaries fight to protect the Empire. The game grows as it prepares for battle during the free spins, offering players real excitement and thrills. ReelPlay and its partner studios are rapidly creating and releasing premium content through the YG Masters programme and their games have been a huge hit with players so far. I expect Hot Rise Games' Legion - Hot 1™ to continue this trend."

David Johnson, CEO of ReelPlay, said: "We are delighted to release the first version of Hot Rise Gaming via YG Masters. As well as being the author of our popular proprietary games such as the Infinity Reels series, ReelPlay also works with specially selected creative partners allowing them to bring their creations to life. Hot Rise Games' Legion - Hot 1™ sets the bar high with its compelling narrative coupled with increasing volatility."
