Enter the wicked world of voodoo with Yggdrasil’s Baron Samedi
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Game set in realms of the spirit world marks third in trio of ‘dark’ releases
Innovative gaming solutions supplier Yggdrasil has released its latest epic slot game, the voodoo-themed Baron Samedi, which has a staggering 36 feature collections.
In the third in a trio of ‘dark-themed’ games including the recently launched Wolf Hunters and Dark Vortex, players are invited to enter the mystical world of the all-mighty spirit lord Baron Samedi, with the 3×5, 25 payline slot featuring a host of other-worldly symbols and collectible features.
The game’s most engaging feature is the deck of 36 collectible tarot cards, each representing a specific feature of either super stacked symbols, added wilds or mystery symbols, guaranteed win lines or win multipliers. Whenever the cards appear, they bestow their features to the player, as well as fill their corresponding collections.
Cards always appear three at a time and are dealt as soon as a player gets at least two scatters or fills a collection. Hitting two scatters gives players one Voodoo Respin with three random cards dealt, while hitting three or more gives players a coin win and seven to 15 Free Spins with three feature cards dealt every spin. Filling any of the 36 collections also rewards players with three respins.
Yggdrasil Head of Slots, Jonas Strandman, said: “The intricately designed slot is a beautiful testament to the detail our development teams include in every one of our games.
Thirty-six collections might sound overwhelming at first, but as players begin their journey, they will find a well-balanced, action-packed game where powerful feature combinations can be activated with every spin, with the added anticipation of almost-guaranteed big wins when they finish a collection. We are very proud of Baron Samedi and are confident that its amazing gameplay experience will raise an army of loyal followers!”

Boomerang’s insights: The evolution of sports betting traffic
Sports betting is becoming a key driver of affiliate growth — it’s a global trend, and Boomerang Partners reveals the latest insights behind this evolution.
Sports betting has evolved significantly in recent years. Now, it is a serious separate direction in affiliate traffic, bringing top profits. Boomerang Partners, a rapidly growing global brand and organizer of the tournament for affiliate teams – the Golden Boomerang Awards, has analyzed the evolution of this business direction and shared its insights.
It’s a thing of the past: simple Sportsbook sites, limited payment methods, and basic betting options
Evolution touches every aspect of human activity, and sports betting is no exception. Previously, bookmakers offered their users simple website functionality so they could focus their attention only on betting opportunities. The range of markets was much more modest than it is now.
Payment options for deposits and withdrawals were also quite limited compared to today, often causing inconvenience for users. Users had to choose from a few options for transferring funds, and it was not always convenient for them.
Current trends: focus on dynamics, privacy, and modern technology
Today, the betting industry is booming thanks to live betting, where users place wagers in real time. The rapid development of the mobile app segment makes it possible to place bets wherever one likes. Users also appreciate dynamically changing odds and the ability to watch match streams on betting platforms to adjust their predictions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to calculate odds, making them more accurate and adaptive.
Modern technologies have expanded the range of payment methods available, with the integration of cryptocurrencies opening new possibilities for fast, secure, and anonymous transactions. Another notable trend is the introduction of social functions into the work of Sportsbooks. For example, holding tournaments with prize pools adds an element of interaction and competition between players.
Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 as an opportunity to succeed through sports traffic
Sports betting is now an important area that can significantly impact traffic growth. Boomerang Partners is currently running its second annual global Golden Boomerang Awards 2025. Its participants compete for monthly prizes and awards in 11 categories, including a Grand Prix. This year, for the first time, organizers have introduced two separate leaderboards: one for sports and one for casino traffic. Registration is open until May 5, and all interested affiliate teams have time to join and compete for awards.
Also, as part of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2025, Boomerang Partners is holding a special raffle with prizes to coincide with the Champions League semifinals. The tournament will run until May 11. If you register now, you can get into the prize draw, which will take place on May 3. The top 30 teams at the end of the tournament will go to Milan to the iconic San Siro stadium.

Olympian Legends: Galaxsys’ New Slot Game Inspired by Ancient Myths
Galaxsys, the award-winning games developer, is proud to announce the launch of Olympian Legends, a new slot game that brings the power and majesty of ancient mythology to life.
More than just a tribute to ancient mythology, Olympian Legends combines breathtaking visuals, innovative features, and dynamic gameplay, promising players an unforgettable journey through the myths of Olympus. As players progress and reveal mythic features, they face the power of ancient gods. With cascading symbols and exciting bonuses, the game delivers a dynamic adventure that’s truly worth exploring.
This marks the third slot title that Galaxsys has announced over the last two months, following the launches of Funny Faces: Hoglet-Moglet and El Dorado.
What Makes Olympian Legends Special
Olympian Legends stands out by blending rich narrative elements with innovative slot mechanics. The progress bar on the right side of the grid consists of five elements. Each time a winning combination is formed, the progress bar fills from bottom to top, triggering a mythical feature when an element is completed. Additionally, the Buy Bonus option allows players to take fate into their own hands, enabling them to access the bonus game at any time they choose.
Dynamic animations and sound design ensure every encounter with Zeus, Poseidon, and more characters feels like stepping into an epic saga rather than playing a traditional slot.
Vigen Safaryan, CPO at Galaxsys, commented: “Olympian Legends combines strong gameplay mechanics with a detailed and dynamic theme. Our goal was to deliver a slot that feels rewarding to play while offering players a more refined experience through mythology. We paid special attention to balancing the game’s features to ensure that the experience feels dynamic, without overwhelming the player. From the visuals and animations to the way the bonuses unfold, every element was designed to create a journey that feels both entertaining and authentic.”
Olympian Legends is now live and available for Galaxsys’ global network of partners.
