HungryBear Gaming is looking to extend the reach of its upcoming real-money Slot Masters title after collaborating with Yggdrasil to become the latest YGG Masters partner.
Through the alliance, Yggdrasil has secured itself as the exclusive distributor for HungryBear and its collection of free-to-play multiplayer Slot Masters games. However, the deal will focus on HungryBear’s upcoming real-money release that is expected to hit screens in July 2024.
Jose Simon, Commercial Director at Yggdrasil, stated: “Having Hungrybear join the YGG Masters program is a real coup for us. Not only do they bring a new vision and style to our slots portfolio with their first title in our roadmap but its Slot Masters product is a game changer in the space and we are honoured to be the chosen partner to take it to the next level by introducing a real-money gaming version.
“This collaboration will be hugely beneficial for our operator network as we will deliver true innovation with Hungrybear’s games and their multiplayer content that offers choice and gamification elements. We can’t wait to introduce a new level of gaming experience to players around the globe.”
Soon to branch out into the real-money igaming sector, HungryBear’s Slot Masters series currently consists of free-to-play games that see players face each other in a two minute game round to collect points by spinning reels and forming winning combinations.
Players can then impact each other’s gameplay by using attack or defence weapons to either take points from their opponents or defend their own scores.
HungryBear has long-held the vision of entering the multiplayer space with Slot Masters and partnering with Yggdrasil will allow the studio to reach an array of operators when the long-awaited real-money version is launched next month.
Justin Chamberlain, Founder and CEO at Hungrybear, added: “Our product portfolio has huge potential, and we are only just getting started!
“This partnership with Yggdrasil is a catalyst for future growth and its vast and established network of operators will ensure the widest reach as we continue to evolve Slot Masters and bring it into the real-money space.”
