Yggdrasil creates a buzz with new launch Bugs Money

Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming are transporting players to a world where bees make more than honey in the latest YG Masters creation, Bugs Money.
Hailed by Reflex Gaming as one of their most impactful slots to date, the game presents a wide array of vibrant bees, bugs, insects, flowers and fruits. The colourful art and design is coupled with thrilling features: Free Spins and Glow Wilds reel modifiers.
The Free Spins feature is triggered when three or more scatter symbols land and offers a choice of 3, 7, 10, or 15 Free Spins with a max win multiplier of 50x, 20x, 10x and 5x respectively. This allows players to directly set the volatility of the Free Spins feature and encourages user participation.
During the bonus, the majestic Queen Bee symbol can land on the centre reel, increasing the multiplier by 10x, up to a huge maximum of 500x.
When the Glow Wilds reel modifier bonus is triggered during the base game or Free Spins, the setting changes from day into night. While the reels are spinning, glow bugs land on random reel positions to add wild symbols. The Queen Bee can also make an appearance during the Glow Wilds bonus to deliver insane wins.
Part of the YG Masters portfolio, Bugs Money is Reflex Gaming’s 13th title as part of the initiative. The offering 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.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Bugs Money is a playful, fun and vibrant title with straightforward yet engaging game play.
“Our partnership with Reflex Gaming has been fantastic to date with over 10 titles launched and we are excited to introduce yet another premium game to our wide operator network.”
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “This game has been a lot of fun to create. It’s another original concept from our studio.
“Despite the tranquil setting, it can quickly turn volatile. The Free Spins can dramatically increase the volatility by offering a super volatile mode. Allowing players to set their own volatility in the Free Spins feature offers greater engagement and ensures the title appeals to a wide demographic.”
