The iGaming slot developer sector in the iGaming industry took note of Yggdrasil’s huge ambitions in a recent move to push into North America.
The brand has already set itself up to become one of the top video slot producers and slot delivery platforms in Europe and on a global basis via its European-based operations.
However, it is set to dominate the industry after it was confirmed on the company website Yggdrasil enters Canada and US markets via IGT, which is operating as a delivery platform and aggregator platform in North America. It makes IGT the perfect partner for Yggdrasil to spread into this market.
Canadian Market – Yggdrasil Looking for a Local Presence
Online casinos in Canada are also starting to open under government licenses in North America, which is an interesting development we are all keeping a close eye on. As IGT is also a casino distribution platform in Canada of sorts, we presume the deal with IGT will expand to some of the local casinos, such as those licensed under Ontario laws.
US Market – Slot Players Will Receive Yggdrasil Titles
Yggdrasil Gaming is not a well-known brand in the US, unless, of course, you play one of the many cryptocurrency casinos licensed by under the Curacao eGaming authentication. Yggdrasil game titles are commonly found in these types of website – although many of them do not accept players from the US – the old saying goes ‘where there is a will, there is way’, and so people have found ways around using VPNs.
On the other hand, for the lucky 38+ million or so US citizens where online casinos are legal, Yggdrasil Gaming is about to come knocking at their doors which is thanks to a deal made with IGT – another video slot developer and online slot distributor.
Although only 6 US states allow their citizens access to online casinos licensed in the US market, this is a major move because that market is expected to grow. Currently Pennsylvania (population 13 million), Michigan (10 million), New Jersey (9 million), Connecticut (3.5 million) West Virginia (2 million), and Delaware (1 million) are the only states in which Yggdrasil video slots will be available while there are still plenty more states to join in the future with California, Texas, and Florida key states for the future as combined they make up for one-third of the US population which totals 331+ million people.
Yggdrasil Awards: It would be amiss of us not to remind that in earlier news published here on casinoplusbonus.com, we mentioned Yggdrasil won the International Gaming Awards (IGA) Software Provider of the year in 2021 and is also the winner of the RNG casino supplier of the year at the EGR B2B 2019 awards ceremony – the brand has always been a major challenger.
Famous Yggdrasil Slots Coming Domestically Licensed Casinos in Canada & USA From December
For the initial release of video slot titles from Yggdrasil via IGT is expected this December 2021. This is the official month given according to the Yggdrasil news team, and as this date comes straight from the horse’s mouth, we fully expect to see Yggdrasil hit US and Canada (North America) before New Year giving the brand an excellent 2022 to look forward to..
On the Yggdrasil casino platform there are more than 100 slot titles, while the company also releases games developer by other brands. On the official report, popular titles mentioned included Valley of the Gods and Cazino Zeppelin. However, that’s just a sample of what Yggdrasil has on offer. Adding to this we have the possibility of reel mechanics such as ‘Infinity Reels’ and features released on the Yggdrasil platform such as Gigablox, DoubleMax, Gigarize, and Splitz.
The Yggdrasil news team also mentioned Vikings Go Wild to which we have already seen the release of the sequel to that fan favourite slot title with the release of Vikings go Berserk Reloaded.
CEO of Yggdrasil: Fredrik Elmqvist said in the Yggdrasil new report that Yggdrasil continues to follow its growth strategy and moving into the US and Canada is a major part of the brand’s rise in iGaming. And if the new partnership with IGT, he explained that his firm is delighted to partner with one of the leading global iGaming suppliers who will distribute Yggdrasil game titles in the region.
