Yggdrasil and Thunderbolt Gaming release feature-filled Rise and Fall of Ra
Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil has partnered up with Thunderbolt Gaming in a new Egyptian themed release, Rise and Fall of Ra, featuring six expanding reels, a thrilling Bonus Wheel and reverse play during the free spins mode.
Players are initially confronted with a variable-reel matrix, with sliding columns atop each reel. These columns inch up at least one spot for every Horus symbol that lands. These can max out to create a 6×9 structure offering a staggering 531,441 ways to win.
If any column expands to its full height, a Bonus Wheel will be launched which can award free spins, a respins mode, a small or large prize wheel, or sticky stacked wilds, as players unlock the full potential of the reels.
The Bonus Wheel is one of two ways to unlock the free spins, with the mode also launched if three or more Scatter symbols land on a single spin.
During the feature, all reels are reset to three symbols high, with a Bonus Wheel being awarded if the column fully expands. The two prize wheels and sticky stacked wilds remain present on the main wheel, while a direct cash prize can also be awarded.
Players can also increase their chances of unlocking a Bonus Wheel with the Boost, or progress directly to the free spins phase via the Buy Bonus.
Rise and Fall of Ra is the second game produced by Thunderbolt Gaming as part of the YGG Masters program, following 2023 hit Mayan Waterfalls.
The game 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.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Thunderbolt Gaming is a YGG Masters partner that has an unmistakeable approach to game design, with a careful focus on mechanics, design, and ultimately the refined production of an exceptional slot experience.
“Rise and Fall of Ra sees a unique column lifting mechanic introduced as players can enjoy numerous different bonus modes, all while exploring the popular theme of Ancient Egypt.”
Paul Malt, Head of Games at Thunderbolt Gaming, said: “Our latest collaboration with Yggdrasil sees us produce a game that we are incredibly proud of, with a Bonus Wheel offering an array of prizes triggerable throughout both base play and the free spins.
“With a diverse, ever changing reelset to appeal to players of all tastes, we are confident that Rise and Fall of Ra will bring excitement to our fans across the globe.”

We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”
Paul Witten, Managing Director at SIS, added: “We are passionate about delivering a greyhound racing service that benefits all of the sport’s stakeholders. Together with Premier Greyhound Raxing, we have introduced a revised racing schedule that benefits operators and their customers.
“Our approach to greyhound racing is grounded in sustainability and flexibility. This collaboration with fellow service providers allows everyone to enjoy all the high-quality action produced on a daily basis from tracks across the UK and Ireland.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots.
Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.
At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.
Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins.
Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
