Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has released its latest YG Masters game, Elemental Princess in partnership with Dreamtech Gaming.

The program’s most recent title transports players to the serene landscapes of the Far East, as four elemental princesses harness the powers of their chosen element to gift players with rewards.

The game has been configured using Yggdrasil’s pioneering GATI technology, which is used by all YG Masters partners, allowing developers to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to create cutting-edge content.

Rapid distribution across Yggdrasil’s entire distribution network enables all YG Masters partners to scale and accelerate their global growth strategies.

The 25 payline slot sees each princess have their own power, which can be triggered on any spin. Earth Princess spins see all Wilds on the reels become Earth Princess Wilds, while any high-paying symbols which are adjacent to these Wilds are also transformed.

The Water Princess can add up to 10 Wilds to the reels in random positions, while the Fire Princess adds a win multiplier of up to 10x. The Air Princess can turn all Wilds into Air Princess Wilds while also adding a Floating Mega Wild, which can be up to 3×3 in size.

If the bonus feature is triggered by landing three or more Scatter symbols, or by the Lucky Feature Trigger, then the powers of the princesses are magnified. At the start of the feature, a princess is selected at random, with her power lasting for the duration of the spins.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil, said: Elemental Princess brings the powers of all four key elements together as players look to harness the Princesses’ abilities to win huge amounts.

“Our partnership with DreamTech Gaming has seen thrilling additions to our portfolio already and this looks set to be yet another hit added to the growing YG Masters offering.”

Thomas Lu, CEO of DreamTech Gaming, said: “This is our third release as a YG Masters partner and adds a different perspective after Ice and Fire and Medusa: Fortune and Glory.

“With helpful guardians of the elements on hand, players will enjoy their journey across the game and hopefully find bountiful riches throughout. Being part of the YG Masters initiative has allowed us to flourish over the course of the year and we’re already looking forward to the release of our next title.”

• amend three existing standards having considered industry proposals to improve customer enjoyment and gameplay

• consolidate the existing 12 gaming machine technical standards into a single standard, whilst amending the format to be more consistent with our Remote gambling and software technical standards for greater clarity

• update the gaming machine technical standards and the related testing strategy to remove obsolete material.

“We recognise that regulatory changes that impact the design of machines can come with considerable costs. We are encouraging consumers, gambling businesses and other interested groups to share evidence that will assist us in measuring both the likely regulatory impacts of the proposed changes and the likely costs of implementing them. This evidence will be invaluable to helping make a robust assessment on whether the benefits to consumers are proportionate to the costs involved.”

As part of The Unit’s company restructure, its highly successful in-house marketing division will be launched as an agency serving iGaming and sports betting industries

The Unit, a leader in product design and development for sports betting and iGaming, has invested €500,000 to launch marketing agency tentenseven. This exciting transformation of The Unit’s in-house marketing division marks the latest step in its growth strategy and expansion roadmap.

Following an expansion in The Unit’s marketing offering, the marketing team will now operate as tentenseven, which will stand as its own entity. On top of paid search and marketing planning, tentenseven will offer SEO, PPC, social media, brand strategy, editorial content, influencer marketing services and social media production among its many areas of expertise.

Feargal Byrne, Director of Strategic Marketing at The Unit, will head up the new phase of growth at tentenseven as Director of iGaming, Ecommerce and Fintech.

In January, The Unit announced a refresh of its visual brand identity, including a new company logo and redesigned website, which reflected the company’s recent growth and ambitious expansion plans. These expansion plans were signified by the recent opening of The Unit’s North American hub in New York City. As part of the brand refresh, the company is focusing on product design and development, with the marketing side of the business now operating as a standalone agency.

Paddy Casey, Co-founder at The Unit, said: “After kicking off 2025 with our brand refresh, we are redefining our structure as a business. With additional funding in place, we think now is the right time for tentenseven to stand in its own right as a marketing leader in the industry. With this investment, tentenseven has the means to grow and maximise its potential in the coming years. We expect to see tentenseven expand in the short and long-term, just as we expect with The Unit.

“In his time with The Unit, Feargal has demonstrated his ability to help clients develop their marketing strategies, establishing channel-level approaches across PPC, social and SEO. Feargal is perfectly positioned to run tentenseven and steward the company into this new and exciting era.”

Feargal Byrne added: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to lead tentenseven as Director of iGaming, Ecommerce and Fintech.

“This is an exciting period for The Unit as a company, and with this significant investment, tentenseven will have the capability to expand and make further headway in the market. That’s great news not just for us, but also for our clients. I can’t wait to get started on this project with the team and I look forward to putting our plans for tentenseven into action as quickly as possible.”
