Yggdrasil has launched the latest contribution from YG Masters partner Peter & Sons, , which is the second title from the Armenia-based development studio to incorporate the popular game engagement mechanic (GEM).
T ufa365 he high volatility, GATI-powered video slot has a 96 percent RTP and features a graphics story unique to the developer along with Wild Re-Spins and a Monster Free Spins bonus game that features a potentially lucrative Monster Multiplier and a 7500x max win.
The 6×6, 50-payline game grid sits atop a pond that is fed by the falls and where giant sea creatures travel from the deep blue and into the fjords where the forests of Walarya end. Here, players are invited to join a mystical shaman, who stands to the right of the game panel wearing a fish suit, to catch these odd-looking beasts for big rewards.
Game Payline & Wild:
Wins are awarded when players land three or more of the same symbol from the left side on a payline to the right. The game includes 8 regular paying symbols, with spade, club, heart and diamond card values serving as the lower pays and are worth 0.8x the bet for landing a line of six. Four premium symbols include a frog, a pufferfish, a purple fish, and a really cool octopus, which pay 2 to 10 times the bet for six of a kind.
And an angry and elusive anglerfish serves as the game’s wild. It can land on any reel and replace all paying symbols. If six of the wild symbols hit in a winning line, its value is 10x the bet, the same as the octopus.
Fantastic Features:
During base gameplay, Wild Re-Spins are randomly triggered, turning between one and three symbols wild. Once a win is awarded, a re-spin is triggered where the wilds roam. The number of roaming wilds is determined by the size of the wild symbol, e.g., a 6×6-sized block would award a player six roaming wilds.
Players who are lucky enough to land at least five scatter symbols anywhere on the game grid in the base game will activate the Monster Free Spins bonus game. The number awarded is equal to the number of scatters in view, and any scatter landing in the bonus round awards an additional free spin.
Wild Re-Spins are triggered by every spin during the bonus, while every wild sees points added to a meter which can boost the number of free spins. A Monster Multiplier also sets the stage for a win multiplier to come into play with a maximum of 10x.
Furthermore, each new scatter that lands on the grid also awards an additional free spin.
