Return to the depths in latest Yggdrasil release Champion of the Underworld GigaBlox™ feat. Wild Fight™
Yggdrasil is sending brave and fearless warriors into battle beneath the depths of Earth in the second instalment of the Underworld series, Champion of the Underworld GigaBlox™ feat. Wild Fight™.
The 6-reel, 4,096 ways to win slot is driven by Yggdrasil’s signature GEM mechanic, GigaBlox™, that sees symbols connect to create supersized icons 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 large. Champion of the Underworld also sees the Free Spins icon land as a GigaBlox™ symbol for even greater win opportunity.
This metal masterpiece also boasts Yggdrasil’s latest GEM, Wild Fight™, which is designed to have more Wild symbols to land on the reels during base gameplay. The mechanic sees Hades fight against any high-paying symbols on the reels and if he wins his battle, the symbol turns into a Wild.
Upon landing five or more free spin symbols, the Free Spins bonus will trigger, during which the Wild Fight™ feature triggers automatically on every single spin. Additionally, a lucrative Win Multiplier is charged by each wild that lands, climbing up to an impressive maximum of x25.
Players that wish to jump straight into the action can do so by utilising the game’s Buy Bonus feature, which can see them kick-start their gameplay with five or 25 free spins.
The title is the second part of Yggdrasil’s Underworld series, joining the popular Hades GigaBlox™ which is one of the supplier’s best-performing games. Champion of the Underworld 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 and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Champion of the Underworld is the second episode in our Underworld series which we plan to expand with even more exciting titles in the future, giving players thrilling and memorable gameplay.
“Champion of the Underworld is a slot that has all the makings of a classic, with great features and mechanics including two of our coveted GEMs, GigaBlox™ and Wild Fight™, and we’re confident players will love this game.”

![egt’s-gods-&-kings-link-with-first-installation-in-bulgaria](https://igamingradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/132264-egts-gods-kings-link-with-first-installation-in-bulgaria.png)
EGT’s jackpot Gods & Kings Link made its debut in Bulgaria. The first local gaming establishment to install the product is the largest casino in the country GoldenEye, located in Svilengrad.
“We are very happy to once again have the opportunity to support our partners from GoldenEye by providing them with one of the latest developments from our slot portfolio,” commented Biserka Draganova, Sales Manager for the Balkans and Egypt at EGT. “The fact that out of a total of 500 machines in the casino, 320 are EGT’s is a testament to the great confidence they have in us, and I believe that Gods & Kings Link will show the excellent results expected from it.”
The product is currently available on several cabinets of the G 50 J2 St model, and will be installed on more by the end of June. Gods & Kings Link has 4 levels of jackpot: Minor and Mini, that are fixed for each machine and Grand and Major, which are progressive and can be won with every bet made on any of the 4 games Rise of Ra, Olympus Glory, Ape of luck and Glorious Alexander. The Grand and Major levels are common with EGT’s bestseller jackpot Bell Link, thus creating even greater chances for wealth.
“Gods & Kings Link has definitely caught the attention of our customers and in the short period of time we’ve been offering it, we’ve seen a lot of interest in it,” said Mert Caliskan, Casino Operation Director. “The titles in the mix are extremely interesting and provide lots of bonuses and fun during play. This in combination with the possibility of getting even bigger winnings thanks to the connection to Bell Link, which is very popular in our casino, is a guarantee that this will be another very successful EGT product.”
