Join a Wacky Winter Journey in YAK, YETI AND ROLL
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Take to the tundra with two unusual companions in Yak, Yeti and Roll. The seasonal, cascading slot game from Betsoft Gaming.
Set in the Arctic circle, Yak, Yeti and Roll invites players to join an Inuit inventor, known for his wild creations. Together with his long-suffering Yeti sidekick, they set out to traverse the wintry wastes in a very unusual vehicle. Foregoing traditional reindeer-pulled sleighs, our Eskimo Yak has built an ornate sled to steer through the snow. With a massive spiked wheel in front, his Yeti pal propels them forward by sheer pedal power.
Built around Betsoft’s proprietary TRAIL SYSTEM, Yak, Yeti and Roll was designed to create a sustainably compelling player journey. As our party crosses the ice fields, a constant trail of green, yellow, and white gems move across the bottom of the screen, advancing with each cascade of symbols that enter the reels. As the spiked wheel of the sled rolls over a gem, it is crushed into the snow and the player earns a prize from a pool containing instant cash, cumulative cascade multipliers, and free spins – with a maximum win of 200X their total bet.
Released right at the beginning of the holidays, Yak, Yeti and Roll is packed with seasonal spirit. A whimsical soundtrack follows the unlikely duo across the icy wastes, joined by festival symbols like warm mittens, a ribbon-bedecked reindeer, an inviting igloo, and a pack of snow-speckled huskies.
The wins really start to snowball in Yak, Yeti and Roll’s free spins feature. Players can build up big reserves of free spins on the trail, add free-spin-specific multipliers, then also apply cascade multipliers to quickly turn a small payout into an earth-shaking avalanche. As with all new Betsoft games, Yak, Yeti and Roll offers players freedom of choice with a feature-buy-in mechanic, allowing them to trigger free spins – otherwise only available from the trail – and improve their win potential on demand.
“Yak, Yeti and Roll is releasing at an exciting time,” says Annamaria Anastasi, Marketing Director for Betsoft. “Not tied to any particular celebration, the game is designed to evoke feelings of warmth in winter, which are common across the entire holiday season. We built that atmosphere with larger-than-life characters, jolly artwork, a wonderful soundtrack, and a clear paytable – creating a game with the broadest possible appeal for winter 2018/19 and beyond. At the same time, Yak, Yeti and Roll comes at a vital juncture for Betsoft, incorporating our full range of newly-developed proprietary technologies. We have also just released our genre-redefining Max Quest title, and Yak, Yeti and Roll demonstrates that, as well as introducing all-new experiences, we also lead the industry in character-driven traditional slots.”
Like all recent Betsoft games, Yak, Yeti and Roll was built in the company’s cross-platform SHIFT development environment, which guarantees that the same great gameplay reaches players on whatever device they choose.
Listen for the jingle of sleigh bells, the thump of Yeti feet in the snow, and the satisfying crunch of prize-laden gems when Yak, Yeti and Roll reaches players this winter.

Slotegrator unveils the first part of the iGaming trends 2025 report
Leading B2B iGaming solutions provider Slotegrator has released part 1 of the iGaming trends 2025 report, offering a comprehensive look at the trends set to define the industry in the coming year. The report highlights innovative strategies and technologies that operators and providers can leverage to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving iGaming landscape.
The report highlights transformative shifts in the iGaming landscape that are reshaping the way operators and providers approach their businesses.
The report contains information about AI and how it is set to revolutionize the iGaming industry by becoming a game-changing tool for operators. Its advances are enabling unprecedented levels of personalization, fraud detection, and player engagement, setting a new standard for the industry. Faruk Aydin, Chief Revenue Officer at Revpanda Group, expressed his opinion on the AI trend: “As we navigate the AI era, I believe it’s more important than ever for iGaming brands to ensure their content is local, relevant, and human-wr0itten to truly connect with players and build trust”.
William Sarto, PR & Marketing Specialist at CasinoRIX, believes that in 2025, iGaming trends will reflect global shifts and technological advancements. According to Sarto, “AI continues to transform the iGaming industry. In 2025, its application will expand in areas such as data analysis and processing to enhance the gaming experience, content creation and process automation, and tools for personalization and creating added value for players.’’
According to Slotegrator, payment technologies are also evolving rapidly. With the integration of cryptocurrencies, biometric authentication, and instant cross-border transactions, in 2025 it will become key to meeting player demands for speed, security, and convenience.
In addition, the growing importance of social gaming and community building is redefining player expectations. No longer just about entertainment, iGaming platforms are increasingly becoming spaces for connection, where features like live dealer games, player chats, and tournaments foster a sense of belonging and enhance retention.
William Sarto highlights that “responsible gambling, social and charitable initiatives, and addressing ecological concerns are becoming integral. These factors influence not only the external perception of companies but also their internal corporate culture.’’
Sarto also puts a focus on brand and values: “Building a strong brand is becoming a core development vector. Establishing values, communicating them to both B2B and B2C audiences, and creating added value for “consumers” are critical. Players will choose companies offering not just quality products but also emotional connection.’’
Slotegrator also delves into the emergence of innovative game formats, such as crash games, skill-based gaming, and immersive VR and AR experiences, which are attracting a broader and more diverse audience.
Meanwhile, the evolution of affiliate marketing strategies emphasizes authenticity, transparency, and localization, allowing operators to connect more deeply with their target demographics.
The report emphasizes the importance of forward planning, urging operators to adapt to shifting player preferences and adopt the latest technologies to maintain competitiveness in the dynamic iGaming market.
Faruk Aydin has added his predictions about iGaming trends for 2025: “I think 2025 will be another year where we’ll see new trends emerge, while still needing to stick to the fundamentals. If iGaming brands want to stay ahead in the marketing game, they’ll need to focus on a smarter, more strategic approach.
Multi-channel marketing will take center stage, enabling brands to engage players through a mix of social media, email, influencers, and more—creating seamless, personalized experiences. At the same time, SEO will remain a cornerstone of success—optimizing for search intent will help brands stay visible and competitive.
Finally, exploring new and emerging markets, especially in regions with growing online gaming adoption, presents a huge opportunity for brands that localize their approach and adapt to regional preferences. Overall, adopting a marketing strategy that balances technology with a human touch will be the key to success for iGaming brands in 2025”.

Unwrap a flurry of festive wins in Chessmas by Swintt’s Elysium Studios
New board-game based entry in the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up sees tactics meet tinsel as players get into the holiday spirit with big wins of up to 9,021x
We all know nothing beats a good board game over the holiday period – so to help players get into the competitive spirit this Christmas, Elysium Studios has created a cracking new Chessmas slot where making the perfect play could result in a flurry of festive wins.
Taking place in the cosy confines of Santa’s workshop, Chessmas features an expanded 5×5 reel set with 15 fixed paylines and is designed to look like a classic chess board. Symbols to feature in the game include reindeers, snowmen, sleighs and Mrs Claus, with each of these icons taking on the characteristics of a corresponding chess piece when its wild modifier has been activated.
At the start each round, a special “Christmas Reel” to the left of the board will spin to reveal either a win multiplier or a symbol to become wild. In the latter case, any instances of the selected symbol will expand in a pattern that mimics the actions of a particular chess piece – with reindeers moving in an L shape, snowmen spreading diagonally and sleighs copying horizontally.
Mrs Claus understandably acts as the queen piece and will not only move in any direction to complete the biggest win possible, but also rewards players with three free respins. “But what of Santa himself?” you might ask – fear not, for he also appears to trigger the game’s bonus feature.
Activated whenever Jolly St. Nick arrives on reels one, three and five simultaneously, players will be transported to a Christmas-themed board game and awarded between four and eight rolls of the dice. Each roll they make will see Santa travel around the board and land on spaces containing multipliers, win multipliers and extra turns, with all payouts accumulating as they go.
Should they not wish to wait to trigger this exciting extra from the base game, players also have the option to use the “Buy” button to enter the bonus directly, but either way it’s a feature that has the potential to award big prizes in addition to the slot’s already impressive 9,021x maximum win.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, Chessmas – our new festive-themed from Elysium Studios – has all the right ingredients to get you into the holiday spirit. Featuring expanding wilds and an exciting, board-game based bonus feature, it’s a Christmas cracker that we’re sure all players are going to love!”
