Yggdrasil Gaming is a comparatively well-known software provider in the iGaming industry. Founded at the beginning of 2013 by former NetEnt CEO Fredrik Elmqvist, the company was created to produce technologically advanced gameplay that focuses on quality and user experience.
The name of the company refers to Scandinavian Mythology and to the ash tree, home to eagles and dragons. Needless to say, Yggdrasil Gaming has lived up to its name, creating mythology-themed slot games and various themes that has made it a casino household name today.
Yggdrasil games are mobile-friendly, good-looking and bursting with innovative features. In addition to original themes, Yggdrasil breathes new life into familiar worlds as well. From deserts of ancient Egypt to stormy seas and fairy castles, Yggdrasil makes the magic happen - with a twist.
Thanks to technological advancements and state-of-the-art visuals, Yggdrasil Gaming and Casinos have been rising through the ranks to become staple player favourites. The games are stunningly designed and come with great attention to detail that rivals that of its competitors.
What makes the games exceptional, however, is the numerous in-game features designed to offer players with a unique experience.
There are no run-of-the-mill features here. You'll still find free spins, bonus rounds and multipliers, but Yggdrasil Gaming approaches them from a different angle, making each and every game unique.
Yggdrasil Gaming's portfolio has more than 70 casino games on offer. These range from modern video slots to jackpot games and table games.
When it comes to video slots, you will quickly notice that they are of the highest calibre with plenty of attention to detail going into the graphics and sounds.
Here are some of the best-known games:
Winterberries: This 3D slot game is played out over five reels and 25 paylines. Filled to the brim with colourful wintery images, the graphics are realistic enough that you might want to reach out and pick a fruit off the reels.
Although it is a fruit-themed slot, it gives the classic game a refreshing makeover.
For starters, every time you hit a winning combination, the winterberries formed from this combo are frozen in place, resulting in a respin. Re-spins are free of charge and can trigger more re-spins and wins. You can also trigger a multiplier of up to 5x when you land symbols of a kind in 2 or more columns.
Vikings Go Berzerk: This highly volatile game was designed with high rollers in mind who want it all – Superb graphics, unique bonus features and exciting gameplay. This slot game sees you join a mutiny of Vikings in search for hidden treasures aboard a traditional Viking ship.
The game is built over five reels and 25 fixed paylines. It also comes with Viking rage meters which get filled up every time you hit a winning combo. Once a meter fills up, you'll earn yourself seven free spins.
It also comes with a free spins round which can award you with up to 21 spins, multipliers, wilds and much more.
There are more bonuses here than you can imagine!
Beauty and the Beast: Embark on an adventure and re-visit the popular children's fairy tale of Belle and the Beast over five reels and 20 paylines.
Set in a dark yet beautiful castle peppered with frozen flowers and stained glass windows, Beauty & the Beast invites you to take a chance on the beast, who will reward you with generous wins.
The free spins round on offer here is what makes the game stand out from the rest. Once you activate the free spins round, you'll be asked to choose two characters – The maid, the butler and the chef.
Each of these characters comes with their own special powers, including nudges and boosts. There are also wilds which can substitute for all symbols to help create winning combinations.
This medium to high variance slot game relies heavily on the free spins round, which can easily be triggered.

There are currently no live dealer games available. However, there are three blackjack games available at your disposal.
Dr Fortuno combines the thrills of online slots with those of Blackjack. You can pick one version over the other, but if you like the theme and the game of Blackjack, it is worth giving this table game a try.
Dr Fortuno is your dealer here, and you'll be asked to take a seat at the table to play against Dr Fortuno himself.
There is also Lucky Blackjack, which sees you play against an animated female dealer clad in green.
With an Irish jig playing in the background, you'll be playing alongside other players in this exciting version of Blackjack.
