Yggdrasil partners with Reflex Gaming for daring heists in Desperate Dawgs

 Press Release

Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, travels to the Wild West in this new YG Masters release Desperate Dawgs, developed with Reflex Gaming. 

Set in Dodge City, Kansas where the gangs are up to no good, robbing banks and claiming cash, players are invited to join their mischievous antics and assist them on the reels with their heists.

The 5x3, 20 payline slot is packed with features, with three separate bonus games available to trigger, including the Wagon Trail, Crime Spree and Bank Buster rounds.

Wagon Trail is triggered by three or more ‘Chumdance Kid’ yellow character symbols appearing on the reels, with players given a selection of wagons to pick from. A hidden prize is then revealed and awarded.

The Crime Spree feature is launched if three or more green ‘Dog Holliday’ symbols land, awarding 10 free spins with an increasing multiplier on every spin. If the mode is retriggered, the multiplier can reach as high as 30x.

Desperate Dawgs’ Bank Buster bonus triggers when three red ‘Josey Tails’ characters appear, presenting players with three safes – bronze, silver, and gold.

Each safe has a unique code, which must be cracked to win the prize. Players select numbers on a keypad which may, or may not, reveal the lucrative loot, and continue to choose these until one safe is fully opened.

The game is the latest release in partnership with Reflex Gaming, who recently became the latest YG Masters studio to license the Gigablox mechanic from Yggdrasil.

The game is developed through Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art GATI technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil, said, “Desperate Dawgs is a fun-filled take on some of the craziest crime capers in the Wild West and we’re extremely happy to add it to our YG Masters offering.

“Our partnership with Reflex Gaming is going from strength to strength, and we look forward to more milestones together.”

Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, adds, “Our newest hit adds plenty of bonus rounds into an action-packed slot and gives players a chance to enjoy multiple ways to win big.

“We’ve been able to scale new distribution heights as a YG Masters partner and we’re delighted to unveil our latest title.”

Who Let The Dawgs Out?

Introducing Reflex Gaming’s newest game release, Desperate Dawgs; the latest addition to the Yggdrasil Masters programme.  Players are taken to a backdrop of glorious sunsets in the Badlands of the old west, where a trio of cunning canines are plotting the crime of the century.  Mayhem will be unleashed when these bad boys hit town.  We chat to Senior Game producer Steve Kick to find out more.

Briefly describe the game Steve

It is a 20 pay line, 5 reel, 3 row online slot game packed with 3 bonus features.  It is a low-medium volatility game.

How did you come up with the idea?

Desperate Dawgs is a twist on the classic wild west theme.  An era renowned for lawlessness, striking gold and hazardous shootouts.  We wanted something very feature-rich, with some colourful characters to hang the features on.   Our outlaws were inspired by famous characters such as Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but we thought putting the canine slant would soften the theme and create something fun and original. Here's an interesting fact for you, did you know that hounds were used historically in Dodge city to hunt pronghorn antelope?  

Tell us about the game features

This game has 3 bonus features; Wagon Trail, Crime Spree and Bank Buster.  

In Wagon Trail, land 3, 4 or 5 yellow Dawg symbols on the reels to trigger the feature. Players are invited to pick from one of three wagons.  Each wagon contains a cash prize.   

Guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck is the Crime Spree bonus feature.   3, 4 or 5 Green Dawg symbols will take you to this nail-biting Free Spins feature.  It has an incremental win multiplier as well as a chance of a re-trigger.    The win multiplier can go up to a massive X30, rewarding players with the chance to win huge cash prizes. 

If this wasn’t enough, there’s also the Bank Buster feature to play for, activated by 3 Red Dawg symbols.  In this bonus game, players are presented with three safes: bronze, silver and gold, each containing a spectacular prize.  Crack the secret code to unlock a safe, and win the prize inside.   

What makes this game special?

The game has been designed to deliver a nail-biting experience by combining exciting gameplay, with the backdrop of a stunning sunset in the wild west desert. It all comes together to deliver an immersive player experience.

When is the release date and where can we play it?

It will be released in mid-March 2021 through the Yggdrasil Masters programme and we expect this to be playable at all the major casino sites.
