Online game creator Yggdrasil has developed a new slot feature called “Jackpot TopUp.” Operators will be able to integrate this feature into their jackpot games in order to boost prize pools. This innovation will add more potential for winning and will almost certainly bring in many new users due to the enhanced experience.
When developing Jackpot TopUp, Yggdrasil added a function in which its business partners can beef up jackpot pools with additional funds. This can be done at any time, so players will check in frequently to see how large the pool is.
Brands can use the Jackpot TopUp feature in order to set themselves apart from competitors. This is especially important during current times when online gambling and slots are seeing a surge in activity. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many online casinos and other e-betting venues are having lots of new users sign up to use their services. The market is flooded with all kinds of jackpot games, so brands should use any opportunity they can get in order to stand out from the crowd.
The Jackpot TopUp will certainly make brands seem more attractive to players because they can market the fact that pools are being pumped with bonus money. For instance, a brand could run a marketing campaign on a game that has had its jackpot increased by €50,000.

Yggdrasil’s Senior Product Strategist, Jonas Strandman, said that this new feature would allow operators to provide new and veteran players with an incentive to use their services. Lucky players will have an even larger potential for winning, while operators can rake in extra revenue. It’s a win-win solution.
Earlier in 2020, Yggdrasil offered another new mechanic called Splitz. This feature boosts player engagement by creating a massive potential for winning. The mechanic will drop mystery symbols on the slot reels, which would build anticipation among players. It is possible for Splitz to reveal up to 12 symbols per stack, which would give the user the best chance of winning big. In fact, operators who utilize Splitz in their slots will provide players with over 240,000 ways to win.
For veteran e-slots players, the concept of having more paylines is pretty familiar. Many slots games have moved on from the old 25+ paylines marketing system. Instead, the games have moved towards implementing thousands of win opportunities. Yet, even if a player is used to having thousands of ways to win, Splitz’s quarter of a million paylines are nothing to scoff at.
In January, Yggradsil’s Temple Stacks slot became the first game to feature Splitz. The company also later implemented the mechanic in another slot game, Neon Rush. Temple Stacks has an Aztec theme, while Neon Rush is a futuristic game that draws inspiration from neon city environments.
A Yggradsil representative commented on the Splitz mechanic, saying that the feature is a perfect example of the company’s hunger for innovation. She believes that it will give slots a boost of exhilaration and make playing them a more enjoyable experience.
