Yggdrasil and Peter & Sons go on a spooky adventure in Voodoo Hex

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, and Peter & Sons are set to enjoy Mardi Gras with a twist in their latest collaboration, Voodoo Hex.

Set deep in the heart of the French Quarter, a Voodoo shop hosts a classic 3×3, five payline reel set, where plenty of features await plucky players.

Wilds can appear on any reel, and if two full reels are stacked with the same symbol, Mystery Stack Respins can occur, where respins happen until no more mystery symbols are present. This also contains a progressive multiplier, starting at 1x, that increases by one for every win in the mode.

Coin symbols will award an immediate prize, regardless of being on a payline or not. If a scatter symbol lands on the centre of any reel, Free Spins are triggered.

During this bonus, Mystery Stacks are triggered more often throughout the round, while the increasing multiplier does not reset for the duration.

In certain jurisdictions, players can also proceed directly to the Free Spins mode through the Bonus Buy feature.

Voodoo Hex becomes the latest title launched by Peter & Sons through the YG Masters initiative. Like all titles in the program, it 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: “We’re delighted to partner yet again with Peter & Sons for another fantastic creation, Voodoo Hex. With a very different theme to its usual content, we’re excited to bring new concepts to our offering and wow players with the immersive location.”

Yann Bautista, Business Development Manager at Peter & Sons, said: “Voodoo Hex is a spooky creation that brings a new side to our thrilling games portfolio, developed closely with Yggdrasil through the YG Masters program.

“With a simple matrix offering plenty of features and wins, we’re very happy with what we’ve created and look forward to entertaining players around the globe.”
