In an interview with SlotBeats published on December 18, 2020, Yggdrasil New Games Manager Pawel Piotrowski revealed the developer's plans for 2021. He noted that a significant part of the releases will be based on the mechanics that they launched in 2020. Of these, the Gigablox mechanic was highlighted, which was implemented in Lucky Neko and Hades.
We're also working on the fourth installment of our blockbuster Vikings series and the sequel to our most popular slot ever, Golden Fish Tank. You can also expect new and exciting mechanics and games with bonus purchase, risk play, special bets and more.
It has been promised that there will be releases for everyone in 2021, from low volatility slots to extreme high volatility slots. According to the manager, the company has incredible confidence in its new products planned for this year.
It also became known about online promotions similar to those that the developer arranged for players in 2020. It turned out that they will continue in 2021. Moreover, new tools will appear in the BOOST collection, due to which they will be able to run two online campaigns at the same time.
Over the next year, we will be expanding our popular online campaigns. We will have two-week campaigns at the beginning of each month. Prize pools will increase to an impressive €80K-€100K.
Anna Pace, campaign manager, revealed that in 2020 they introduced a new criterion for tournaments - payout with the highest multiplier. It should replace the original criterion when the payout for one coin was evaluated. The reason for this change was that the multiplication of the bet is a more universal parameter.
When asked what benefits BOOST campaigns provide to operators and how online casinos can use them to increase activity, Anna Pace answered:
They increase player engagement and provide an incentive for them to keep coming back to your casino. Using the BOOST tools, operators can create various campaigns such as tournaments and missions, or Prize Drops, when prizes are randomly awarded to participants.
Setting up campaigns is clear and intuitive, with many options for customization: the operator can run his own own campaigns for all players or only for a specific segment, choose cash prizes or others, upload your own pictures, terms and conditions, etc. For players, all information regarding the campaign is available in the game.
They can also follow their progress in the leaderboard without leaving the game. This makes the game more attractive and ensures that players return to advance in the leaderboard and complete missions.
Participation in our online campaigns is free for operators. With the exception of attractive prize pools, Yggdrasil provides everything necessary to help operators promote the campaign and attract players.
We pay out all prize money with no wagering requirements. This is a great way for operators to increase customer engagement and provide a more engaging experience for players.
