Yggdrasil launches new Empire Fortune slot

Swedish online gambling games provider Yggdrasil Gaming has announced the launch of a new progressive jackpot slot branded Empire Fortune which shares a jackpot pool with the company’s popular title Joker Millions.

Unlike most progressive jackpot slots, Empire Fortune is built around an engaging base game, including an interesting feature that allows the player to hold two free spins or bonus symbols for a chance of hitting a third symbol on the next spin.

The 5 reels 3 rows (20 pay-lines) game also features eye-catching graphics and a captivating soundscape, but the highlight is an innovative and feature-packed jackpot bonus game, where three separate jackpots are up for grabs.

The bonus game takes the form of a 3D wheel of fortune, with the chance for a wide range of different wins, including coins, free spins and mystery prizes.

A “fireworks feature” during the bonus game sees a number of rockets launch and land on different areas of the wheel, with the player picking up prizes depending on where the rockets land.

The Joker Millions progressive jackpot last fell in July, when a Norwegian player on LeoVegas won almost Euro 2.9 million from a spin of just Euro 1.25.

Yggdrasil games manager Jonas Strandman said in a launch statement that for too long progressive slot developers have focused on the big prize and neglected the core gameplay.

“Empire Fortune is a new breed of progressive jackpot slot that provides a great experience to all users – not just the lucky individual who lands the jackpot,” he said.
