Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil and YGG Masters partner Bang Bang Games have combined to deliver thrilling gameplay in toxic new release Mutant Trawlers.

Players must navigate a contaminated nuclear lake to fish up wins worth a maximum of 3,000x by way of Trawler Respins, Mutant Cash and Meltdown Free Spins.

Trawler respins can be triggered whenever a boat lands on the same reel as a Mutant Cash symbol, automatically igniting a chain of respins where multipliers increase after every successful spin.

Up to 20 Meltdown Free Spins are launched whenever three or more bonus symbols land anywhere on the game reels. During the Meltdown Free Spins bonus, the trawler multiplier does not reset between spins, leading to enhanced prizes.

A gamble feature can see players spin a wheel of fortune to increase the number of free spins they receive by three and five, leading to a maximum of twenty free spins.

For 50% extra per spin, the Bonus Boost feature can be activated, automatically doubling the chance of triggering the Meltdown Free Spins bonus.

Those wishing to kick-start the bonus immediately can do so by paying 65x their stake, guaranteeing a feature. For 120x their stake, players can guarantee five bonus symbols for 20 free spins.

Mutant Trawlers is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Zoe Bird, Senior Product & Program Manager at Yggdrasil, said: “Mutant Trawlers takes the concept of much-loved fishing-themed slots and turns it on its head with a dark twist. Not only does this release look and sound fantastic, but it also offers great winning potential thanks to some truly wonderful features including Trawler Respins.”

Frank McPolin, Managing Director at Bang Bang, said: “Players are increasingly leaning towards games with an edge to them, and we feel like Mutant Trawlers offers that in abundance! This gruesome game is a dream come true for those chasing big wins via unique bonus features and mechanics. Grab your hazmat suit and fishing rod and get stuck in!”

NetBet Denmark customers are now able to experience Yggdrasil’s range of games as a result of an established deal between the two firms.

Since its founding in 2013, Yggdrasil has become an influential force in the iGaming industry, having won numerous prestigious awards to reinforce these credentials. Most recently, the company was crowned the Innovator of the Year at the International Gaming Awards 2023.

While Yggdrasil has made a name for itself with its innovative games, the frontrunners for the most anticipated titles are Giganimals GigaBlox, E-Force, and Frost Queen Jackpots.

NetBet Denmark’s PR manager, Claudia Georgevici, said: “At NetBet, it is essential that we partner with leading gaming providers who have a history of creating excellent games for players to enjoy. Yggdrasil has created countless exciting titles, which makes it the perfect partner as we look to expand the amount of games we can offer to players going forward.”

The Thai government is exploring the possibility of restricting gambling areas within entertainment complexes to no more than 5% of the total project space. This proposal was revealed by Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat, who also chairs the House committee responsible for evaluating the potential establishment of casino resorts in the country.

Amornvivat noted that the allocation of space for gaming activities within these entertainment complexes would be determined based on input from various governmental entities involved in a project.

Last month, Thailand’s cabinet approved a report from the National Assembly committee that examined the feasibility of introducing casino resorts in the country. The Ministry of Finance was tasked with conducting a 30-day study to assess the viability of implementing such a policy.

Each proposed venue would require a minimum investment of THB100 billion ($2.75 billion), according to the committee report. Amornvivat recently requested a two-week extension for the study period to further evaluate the matter in collaboration with 16 other government agencies.

The special House committee’s study focused on three main areas. First, it examined the potential impacts of introducing entertainment complexes with casinos on various aspects of Thai society, including economics, politics, social dynamics and the environment.

Second, the committee analysed the business framework of integrated entertainment venues, exploring revenue generation mechanisms such as taxes, fees and licensing structures. It recommended the implementation of specific casino taxes and the establishment of a fund aimed at addressing the negative effects of gambling activities.

Last, the report highlighted the importance of conducting a comprehensive review of the legal framework governing entertainment venues and gambling laws in Thailand. This effort aims to update existing legislation or develop new laws that align with the evolving societal landscape.
