Yggdrasil has released YG Masters partner Dreamtech Gaming’s newest heroric online slots title, Sabres and Swords Charge, featuring the Swedish firm’s wildly successful GigaBlox advance, which is part of its innovative Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) solution package.

The sixth game in Yggdrasil’s GigaBlox arsenal plays out on a rolling battlefield where a 6-reel, 6-row panel is flanked by opposing armies in various stages of engagement. A highly volatile game with 50 fixed paylines, the RTP is 96.11 percent and the max win is €288,000 while winning combinations of at least three of a kind will hep get you there.

“Our GigaBlox mechanic has captivated audiences around the world”

Of the game’s eight regular pay symbols, there are four military igsignia for rank and are lower pays while four soldiers comprise the higher values. Landing a combination that includes six higher value symbols is worth up to 6.4 times the stake and gold cannon wilds are worth more at 9.6 times the stake for six on a line. They/wilds can replace any of the game’s symbols with the exception of the extra spins triggering scatter symbol.

Game features:

In order to trigger the Engage the Enemy Extra Games feature, players have to land at least five coat of arms Scatter symbols, allowing them to withstand the battle and gather more symbols to unlock even more extra casino games, with wins and spins multiplied by the exciting Extra Game GigaBlox Multiplier.

Sabres and Swords Charge GigaBlox offers huge potential, with the possibility for GigaBlox to fall on every spin. Blocks increased in size up to 6×6 can land on the reels but they then splinter off into seperate 1×1 symbols for wins to be decided. By creating a large variety of symbol configurations, the level of anticipation is amped up for players.

Buy feature:

Depending on the jurisdiction, players can choose to buy extra spins via the Buy Feature rather then wait for them during the natural flow of gameplay. The cost to do that is 80 times the bet, which results in a spin being triggered that leads to entering the extra spins feature. On the spin, only scatters are active and no other wins are paid.

The immersive video slot is the seventh title Dreamtech Gaming has created as a YG Masters partner and the very first to incorporate the fun GigaBlox mechanic. It joins other GigaBlox hits 3021 The Bounty Hunter, Suncatcher, Gator Gold, Hades, and the game that started it all, Lucky Neko!

Powered by Yggdrasil’s language agnostic GATI technology, which allows partners utilize the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to generate content that is cutting edge and to distribute it rapidly.
