Yggdrasil is bringing nightmares to life alongside Australian studio ReelPlay as they collaborate to launch Hot Rise Games’ terrifyingly thrilling Nightmares VS GigaBlox. Wins up to 7,353 times stake come via engaging mechanics and thrilling elements including the GigaBlox GEM and Hot Rise’s VERSUS feature.
The famed GigaBlox mechanic sees huge symbols fall onto the game reels sized 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6, leading to potentially massive wins. Once they land, they break into individual symbols during the pay cycle, leading to large coinciding wins.
The VERSUS feature is triggered upon six scatter symbols landing on the reels, initially awarding six free spins, and sees a Champion and a Challenger randomly selected to battle it out across the game grid. Every Champion and Challenger symbol that lands during the spins is collected, improving the feature with rewards such as win multipliers, extra free spins and extra wild symbols.
Players in certain jurisdictions can utilize a Buy Bonus, taking them straight to the VERSUS feature at a cost of 80 times. Nightmares VS GigaBlox is powered by GATI, with Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardized development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Horror-themed slots have a huge fan-following and Nightmares VS GigaBlox is a great addition to our YG Masters portfolio. “Our proven GigaBlox mechanic can see symbols take over the entire reels for huge coinciding wins, while the VERSUS feature with collection characters and improving free spins is sure to be a hit with players.”
David Johnson, CEO at ReelPlay, said: “Our partner studio Hot Rise Games continues to produce boundary-expanding concepts such as HOT 1 and in this case VERSUS. “In turn, ReelPlay continue to facilitate and curate the industry’s freshest content from some of the sharpest studios. Hot Rise’s Nightmares VS GigaBlox is a game with a frighteningly good VERSUS feature that will keep players engaged long-term.”
