Yggdrasil, an online casino provider which by its ambition was to be in the image of this cosmic ash tree which despite the seasons remains evergreen by representing the axis of the world where the nine worlds gravitate. Operator Yggdrasil has appropriated this symbol of pure power to make a strong statement about its obsession with being a top quality online and mobile casino game provider.
The publisher Yggdrasil is more passionate and motivated than ever to align itself with the giants of the industry. Driven by the ambition to become one of the world's most esteemed digital gambling providers sooner or later through relentless innovation action plans. In order to maintain the certainty of having reached this ultimate stage of success, to shake hands with the most valuable online casino operators by signing long term partnerships.
Yggdrasil took its first steps into the industry in 2013 with Fredrik Elmqvist at the helm of the provider that would become one of the most powerful. A personality with an impressive professional background as he gained solid e-Gaming experience during rewarding years with the NetEnt company that almost all of us know.
Fredrik Elmqvist was the director of global market operations for the Swedish firm NetEnt. Suffice to say that the professional abilities of this great man were more than enough to allow Yggdrasil from the year of its launch in 2013 to experience a real epic. As a direct consequence, this naturally attracted the curiosity of many operators looking for new collaborations.
A few years ago, Yggdrasil online casinos had a few slot machine titles accompanied by advanced 3D cinematic packages. But also looking at Keno variants, scratch cards and lottery formats. A production that is known to be slow in producing new titles but deliberate in a strategic way to get the word out that supplier Yggdrasil seems to favour quality over quantity.
This was the case with a new evolution in technological advancement in 2014. As we can say, a new bonanza in innovation with Yggdrasil turning 180 degrees to bequeath all its time in its development studios in favour of digital slots. The integration of cutting-edge iSense™ as well as Swipe Reveal™ technologies that give players the luxury of being able to tame and enjoy the unique sensation of touch play for the purposes of using Yggdrasil products from their mobile phone or indeed from their tablet.
A revolutionary way of entertainment that was to make a lasting impression on many operators and increase the popularity of Yggdrasil worldwide. The combination of two new technologies would add a significant improvement in the realism of the game.
In particular the scratch card games where players can now use their index finger to reveal the symbols hidden behind the greyish gum of scratch cards. In almost real-life conditions, as if they were scratching one belonging to the Française de Jeux (FDJ) brands. But this is just the tip of the iceberg about iSense™ technology.
Players can now offer their eyes a deeper realism during the course of their respective gaming session with the intervention of CSS3-managed transitions, witness particle animations, be able to lock the reels of a slot machine within a specific time frame, etc. This has quickly brought Yggdrasil-powered casinos more and more to the forefront of the e-Gaming scene.
The 2014 integration of iSense™ also allowed Yggdrasil to commit a permanent stop to the production of games running under flash and JAVA technologies in order to move unapologetically to HTML5 format. A technology with innovative properties that allows players to have fun from any type of computer, mobile and operating system.
Yggdrasil is a reputable online casino provider that has always maintained this spirit of being versatile in game creation. Its beginnings were marked by the development of lottery-type flash games and gradually moved towards online casino games. Its portfolio under the NUMB3R LOV3RS iLottery aggregation now includes more than fifty titles starting with traditional lottery games to the other end highlighted by a bevy of 3D cash games.
Backed by numerous awards including Slot Supplier of the Year (EGR B2B Awards in 2016 & 2017), Innovator of the Year (The International Gaming Awards Winner 2017), Yggdrasil has a voluminous portfolio of games including the dominant video slots which show clear signs of creative talent both in terms of sound animations and in the visualization of elements. Well-kept settings offering an impressive catalogue of options allowing you to travel endlessly in the bowels of these breathtaking titles.
Gameplay that is second to none to other leading provider such as NetEnt with payout multipliers, free spins, scatters, wilds, re-spins, amazing bonus games and more!
