Progressive jackpot games make the news on a regular basis. Usually we learn about the latest big jackpot being won somewhere in the world and more often than not the titles in question are Mega Moolah from Microgaming or NetEnt’s Mega Fortune or Mega Fortune Dreams.
But let’s not forget that NetEnt’s Hall of Gods jackpot slot is fast approaching the €7 million mark, which makes it the second highest jackpot currently available – right after Mega Moolah, which will soon hit €9 million.
Yggdrasil Gaming, now, is well known for their gorgeous and often quite innovative slots. Whilst the slot maker has not been around for very long, their still relatively small portfolio contains some excellent slots. Yggdrasil Gaming has been making the news lately, because they penned new deals for distributions left, right and centre, as well as getting new licenses from various gambling jurisdictions. Clearly they are not slowing down and the release of their latest slot is just further proof of that.
Their first venture into the progressive slot market happened with Joker Millions last year and the slot has become quite popular. Using the success of this first progressive jackpot slot, Yggdrasil Gaming now released a follow-up: Empire Fortunes. The coup: both slots are connected, so the jackpot grows twice as fast now.
Empire Fortunes is, of course, beautiful to look at. There are all kinds of gemstones on the reels and a joker scatter triggers the free spin feature. Players get 10 free spins with a 2x multiplier here, though it’s possible to get up to 30 free spins and a 10x multiplier.
More important is the bonus feature, of course, because that is where you can win the various jackpots. Three bonus symbols are needed to trigger the bonus game where the jackpot wheel will appear. Aside from awarding coin prizes and free spins, the wheel can also land on one of the three progressive jackpots.
When we checked out the slot for the first time yesterday, it was already at €2.5 million, but at the time of writing it appears that the jackpot has been won by a lucky player, because the value was down to just over €800,000, indicating that it had reset after a win.
Clearly, winning is not very difficult and a life changing amount waits for players. Try it out at LeoVegas casino, where both Yggdrasil jackpot slots are available.
