Yggdrasil introduces new leprechaun-themed slot game

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Yggdrasil has added a heart-stopping twist to its St Patrick’s release with Lucky Apocalypse GigaBlox, as a leprechaun hunts for wins amongst hordes of the undead, aided by the supplier’s popular Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM).

The 6x5 matrix combines a pays-anywhere system with avalanched wins and a ladder atop the reels, where a succession of wins will trigger one of two additional features, or even free spins.

Eight matching symbols will award a payout, while a supersized GigaBlox symbol can land randomly at any time to enhance the chances of a combination win. Four or more free spins symbols landing in the base game, or completing the progress ladder, will trigger the bonus.

During this round, a guaranteed GigaBlox symbol will land on every spin, while the progress bar is replaced with a multiplier counter, increasing up to a whopping 50x with every successful avalanche.

In certain jurisdictions, players can progress directly to free spins via the Buy Bonus.

Lucky Apocalypse GigaBlox is the latest addition to Yggdrasil’s slot portfolio, as the supplier continues to explore diverse themes and features accompanying its proprietary GEMs.

Tomasz Kowalik, Head of Games Production at Yggdrasil, said: “We’ve taken a different approach to the usual St Patrick’s celebrations, with a zombie-themed, action-packed slot that puts a leprechaun with attitude at centre stage.

“Combining one of our most popular GEMs with a pays-anywhere, progression ladder framework has been incredibly exciting, and we’re delighted with the finished product.”
