The gaming provider has confirmed that Yggdrasil has taken the plunge (excuse the pun!) and launched a brand new slot game entitled Enchanted Waters.

While Yggdrasil has incorporated many themes into its slots over the years, this aquatic-style slot is bound to leave players mesmerised and packed with many fun features.

Arguably, Yggdrasil is trying to stay relevant as aquatic-themed slots pack a punch; some gaming providers have more of a firm handle on injecting energy into such games and bringing them to life.

So, what can you expect from playing Enchanted Waters? And just how good a game is it? We have given you the inside track on this new slot.

Riding the crest of a wave

Yggdrasil is a byword for innovation, and no stone has been left unturned with Enchanted Waters.

Yes, you can escape the humdrum of everyday life by playing this 5-reel slot boasting 1,024 pay lines and a maximum win worth up to a whopping 25,000x your stake.

Although it has an RTP (Return to Player) of 96%, it has a hit frequency of 40.05%.

Statistics shelved to one side; Enchanted Waters is an inviting slot with mermaids as the main paying symbol.

When you land on any of the mermaids, this will trigger a response, while the blue mermaid is worth looking out for as it has a random win multiplier worth up to 25x. Meanwhile, the red mermaid removes all low-paying symbols.

And if three scatter symbols land on reels one, three and five, then 10 free spins will be triggered.

With plenty of ways to win big, Enchanted Waters is one of those games that will grab your attention when you load the reels.

Discussing the release of Enchanted Waters, Yggdrasil chief gaming officer Mark McGinley said: “We are genuinely excited by the release of Enchanted Waters, and the entire team shares my confidence that players will feel the same way and take the plunge into mermaid-infested waters.

“When you have such a well-designed game that boasts respins and many lucrative modifiers, including win multipliers and expanding symbols, it’s bound to turn a few heads.”

And head turning is just the impact that Yggdrasil hopes to make when players try out its games for the first time.

Other Games on the way

Don’t worry; Yggdrasil hasn’t poured all its heart and soul into creating Enchanted Waters.

There are a few other games that are either in the final stages of production or waiting to be debuted, and we have listed these below:

• Peter Hunter (coming September 5)
• GigaGong (coming September 7)

GigaGong, for example, has an Ancient Chinese theme, and it is of medium volatility, as the RTP is set at 96%.

This 4×4 reel comes with a maximum win multiplier worth up to 2,498x your stake, and there is a striking free spins mode where the gong increases by a multiplier of one each time.

With titles such as GigaGong, players can go on an enthralling quest for treasure and come back with a bounty of riches.

Board changes

Behind the scenes, Yggdrasil has been undergoing some changes. Most notably, this is the case with a personnel change as Bjorn Krantz will be stepping down as Yggdrasil CEO.

Taking over the reins will be James Kurwen, who will assume the post as of October 1.

And judging by Krantz’s recent comments, Yggdrasil will have a safe pair of hands steering the ship.

He said: “James Curwen is an industry veteran; he will bring invaluable experience and leadership to the company as it enters the next phase of driving sustainable, profitable growth. It’s his time to lead.”

Aside from the fundamental personnel change, Yggdrasil recently expanded its European footprint by teaming up with Inbet, Bulgaria’s leading local gambling operator.

And under the terms of the deal, Inbet players can get their hands on all Yggdrasil slots.

Final Thoughts

Yggdrasil and slots go hand in hand. Enchanted Waters, by the sounds of it, has plenty of potential, and the gameplay functions will excite those who like aquatic-style slots.

It is fair to say that Yggdrasil has an eclectic range of slots in its catalogue. Nevertheless, each one of the titles that they have produced offers something rather unique, and they have, more often than not, left a positive, long-lasting impression.

Although new slots are constantly rolling off the Yggdrasil production line, Enchanted Waters has arrived with some fanfare, and it could well be a fan favourite or a smash hit. Only time will tell as to whether or not this is the case.
