New game from Sweden

Swedish online gambling content developer Yggdrasil Gaming has some fun with fungi in its latest slot unveiled Thursday and titled Magic Mushrooms.

The game is a fantasy world-themed slot where players can win on an unchronological draw slot – a first for a high performance casino product, a spokesman claimed.

The majority of standard online slot games have paylines on one side and reels that stop in sequence. Magic Mushrooms, however uses intuitive gameplay with 40 paylines, 20 from the left and 20 from the right of the game, spread across a diamond shaped 3-4-5-4-3 reel position and with the five reels drawn in an unchronological order of 1-5-2-4-3.

Players are also treated to a number of distinctive in-game ambient sounds and music created by specialist sounds artists, while the characters themselves were created in-house and first modelled as clay figures before making it to the big screen.

Fredrik Elmqvist, chief executive of Yggdrasil Gaming, said: “This game is unique in every way, from the reel structure and the characters we’ve created to the sounds and music we’ve encapsulated.”
