Yggdrasil strikes “mutually beneficial” content supply deal with Aspire Global

Swedish provider of premium online gaming solutions Yggdrasil has made its slots content available to an even wider audience worldwide thanks to a freshly-inked supply deal with Aspire Global. The Malta-based B2B online casino platform and solutions provider recently finalized the acquisition of BtoBet Ltd.

Under the terms of the deal, the Cherry AB subsidiary‘s extensive slots offering including popular games such as the smash hit Vikings trilogy – Vikings Go to Hell, Vikings Go Berzerk, and Vikings Go Wild, as well as more recent releases Valley of the Gods 2, Multifly!, Lucky Neko Gigablox, and Temple Stacks: Splitz, all of which come complete with exciting and innovative mechanics and features, will be made available to the B2B service provider’s customers.

“The partnership will prove to be mutually beneficial with Yggdrasil set to reap the benefits of our network’s reach.”
