Betsoft Gaming is taking to the tundra with two unusual companions in Yak, Yeti and Roll in its new, seasonal, cascading slot game.
Set in the Arctic circle, Yak, Yeti and Roll invites players to join an Inuit inventor, known for his wild creations. Together with his long-suffering Yeti sidekick, they set out to traverse the wintry wastes in a very unusual vehicle. Foregoing traditional reindeer-pulled sleighs, the Eskimo Yak has built an ornate sled to steer through the snow. With a massive spiked wheel in front, his Yeti pal propels them forward by sheer pedal power.
Built around Betsoft’s proprietary Trail system, Yak, Yeti and Roll was designed to create a sustainably compelling player journey. As the party crosses the ice fields, a constant trail of green, yellow, and white gems move across the bottom of the screen, advancing with each cascade of symbols that enter the reels.
As the spiked wheel of the sled rolls over a gem, it is crushed into the snow and the player earns a prize from a pool containing instant cash, cumulative cascade multipliers, and free spins – with a maximum win of 200x their total bet.
“Yak, Yeti and Roll is releasing at an exciting time,” said Annamaria Anastasi, Betsoft’s marketing director. “Not tied to any particular celebration, the game is designed to evoke feelings of warmth in winter, which are common across the entire holiday season.
“We built that atmosphere with larger-than-life characters, jolly artwork, a wonderful soundtrack, and a clear paytable – creating a game with the broadest possible appeal for winter 2018-19 and beyond.
“At the same time, Yak, Yeti and Roll comes at a vital juncture for Betsoft, incorporating our full range of newly-developed proprietary technologies. We have also just released our genre-redefining Max Quest title, and Yak, Yeti and Roll demonstrates that, as well as introducing all-new experiences, we also lead the industry in character-driven traditional slots.”
Like all recent Betsoft games, Yak, Yeti and Roll was built in the company’s cross-platform Shift development environment, which guarantees that the same gameplay reaches players on whatever device they choose.
