Reflex Gaming, partner of YG Masters, has signed an agreement with Yggdrasil to utilise the latter’s proprietary mechanic Gigablox for its future games development.
This will make Reflex Gaming the third YG Masters partner, after DreamTech Gaming and Bang Bang Games, to sign up to Yggdrasil’s framework agreement following the launch of the mechanic last year.
The Gigablox mechanic has been included in several successful games, including Lucky Neko and Hades. It enables dynamic feels to spawn blocks up to 6×6 stacks, leading to potential big wins for players, as well as enabling the GigaBlox battles gaming feature.
It is one of three mechanics available to YG’s partners – alongside Splitz and MultiMax – for use within content creation, to help drive player engagement and retention levels.
“By offering our proven mechanics to our YG Masters partners they can launch new games knowing they will appeal to global players,” said Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil.
“YG Masters help our partners rapidly develop content for distribution to our vast operator network, while within our framework offering, studios can elevate their portfolios even further.
“Our partnership with Reflex Gaming is going from strength-to-strength and we are excited to see the upcoming titles they will deliver with the Gigablox™ mechanic to further fuel their success.”
Yggdrasil’s YG Master’s programme also provides the latter’s partners with GATI technology, a preconfigured, regulation-ready development toolkit, allowing studios and developers to apply standardised technology to develop and distribute games.
Reflex Gaming joined YG Masters in June last year, with the studio’s first game, Moley Moolah, released through the program in November 2020.
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, commented: “Through the YG Masters program, we have been able to streamline the development process, allowing us to focus on the game design and enabling us to launch exciting titles to a new audience. We have a full game launch schedule for 2021, with some epic releases coming.
“We are really impressed with what Yggdrasil has done on their games using these mechanics. Our game design team already has ideas on how to deploy these clever slot mechanics on our own upcoming games.”
