By William - 2 November 2021
Yggdrasil has signed a multi-year iGaming content distribution agreement with IGT.
The agreement grants IGT exclusive access to a selected number of Yggdrasil’s online slots for distribution to operator partners in the U.S. and Canada where iGaming is permitted.
Titles include fan-favourites from Yggdrasil’s portfolio such as Vikings Go Wild, Valley of the Gods and Cazino Zeppelin. IGT expects to feature the first Yggdrasil game on its platform in December 2021.
Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO of Yggdrasil, commented on the agreement: “Yggdrasil continues to deliver on its growth strategy, and U.S. and Canada are key territories for driving continued sustainable long-term growth, and shareholder value.
“We are delighted to partner up with IGT, the world’s leading gaming supplier, who will have exclusive territorial distribution rights for a selected number of our best-in-class Yggdrasil game titles.
“As the online gaming market continues to expand in North America, we look forward to supporting IGT’s PlayCasino customers to realise their goals through our player-centric, highly entertaining and iconic games.”
“Partnering with high-performing game developers such as Yggdrasil Gaming is a pillar of IGT PlayDigital’s growth strategy and an additional differentiator of the IGT PlayCasino value proposition,” said Enrico Drago, IGT CEO Digital & Betting.
“Yggdrasil Gaming’s artistic talents, passion for innovation and commitment to quality and performance shine through in all their games and we believe Yggdrasil games will complement our player-favourite IGT PlayCasino games.”
