Yggdrasil Gaming

What Yggdrasil Is

Yggdrasil is a business-to-business supplier of slots and gaming technology, not a casino operator. Its own About page describes game creation as equal parts creativity, craft and innovation and says the company has been building iGaming experiences for over a decade, alongside platform and engagement tooling it sells to other suppliers and operators. It states that it builds games for regulated markets and supports clients with responsible gaming functionality in its front-end game client. The company lists offices in San Ġiljan, Malta and in Kraków, Poland.

Corporate Structure

Yggdrasil operates through several companies rather than one. Its privacy policy states that "Yggdrasil Gaming" means Yggdrasil Gaming Sweden AB, a company incorporated in Sweden with registration number 559107-9735 and a registered address in Stockholm, together with all its subsidiaries. The Maltese licensee is Yggdrasil Gaming Limited and there is a separate Gibraltar company, Yggdrasil Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited. The group does not publish an ultimate parent company on its own site, and none is recorded here.

Licensing

The Malta Gaming Authority's own seal of authorisation records Yggdrasil Gaming Limited as holding licence MGA/B2B/230/2012, a B2B critical supply licence covering Type 1 and Type 3 gaming services; the provider's footer gives the date of issue as 1 August 2018.

The Gambling Commission's public register holds three Yggdrasil accounts. Yggdrasil Gaming Limited, account 44137, holds a remote casino licence, 044137-R-322934-015, active from 22 December 2015. Yggdrasil Gaming Sweden AB, account 50632, holds a remote gambling software licence, 050632-R-328581-004, active from 24 May 2018. Yggdrasil Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, account 45735, holds a remote casino licence, 045735-R-323978-011, active from 27 May 2016.

Beyond Malta and Great Britain the company states that it holds a Gibraltar remote gambling (B2B) licence, a B2B software provision licence from the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, two Class 2 licences from Romania's National Gambling Office (ONJN), an A1 manufacturer licence from the Hellenic Gambling Commission, and a Class E manufacturers, installers and repairers licence from the Belgian Gaming Commission. It also says it has been a member of the Swedish Gambling Association (SPER) since 2020. Those are the provider's own statements; no licence numbers are published for them, so none are given here.

How Yggdrasil’s Game Mechanics Work

Yggdrasil sells its mechanics as named, reusable parts rather than as one-off features, and its own technology page calls them GEMs: "Yggdrasil’s GEMs (Game Engagement Mechanics) are our signature building blocks for unforgettable gameplay." The games page filters the catalogue by those names — Gigablox, MultiMAX, Splitz, GigaRise and DoubleMax among them — so the same mechanic turns up across unrelated titles.

Two of them show what that means in play. DoubleMax doubles a multiplier on each consecutive win: of Raptor DoubleMax the company writes that it "features a doubling multiplier, where every consecutive win doubles your multiplier, with no limit to its extent", on a 3×5 grid. DuoMax does the same thing in two directions at once — in Florageddon, "multipliers are placed on either side of the reels. Therefore, paylines do not only pay from the left side of the reels, but also from the right." A third, FastPot5, splits a jackpot five ways: in Elysian Jackpots the company "places one jackpot at the top of each reel, having a total of five". None of this says anything about what a game returns over time, and Yggdrasil publishes no provider-level figure.
