Hacksaw Gaming Revives the Norse Mythology Theme with Rise of Ymir Slot

Hacksaw Gaming has had a successful lineup of releases in recent weeks, such as Le Bandit and Octo Attack. This time, it veers into the world of Norse mythology with the launch of its newest slot, Rise of Ymir. The audiovisual-rich game transports players to the ancient era of gods and giants presented on a fierce battlefield setting. The focus is on Ymir, believed to be the first being in existence and whose scattered body parts form the universe. In the slot, this mighty being rises over a 5-reel, 14-payline matrix like a God of War, ready to showcase his power and offer players a rewarding experience.

An Epic Journey of Conquests

Waking the mighty Ymir requires a stake between $0.10 and $100 per round. The slot features the poker cards 10 through Ace as the low pays. The premiums appear as a horn, axe, hammer, Thor, and his father, Odin. Rise of Ymir plays with a medium-high volatility, indicated by a 4/5 rating. On the other hand, the RTP varies depending on the active bonus buys, with 96.31% as the maximum value.

The Godly Force of Ymir

On the bonus front, Rise of Ymir delivers what one would expect of a Norse-themed slot. The bonus features are dense and muscular with plenty of thought poured into them. The display of Ymir’s power snows down to these features:

• Ymir’s Conquest: The Ymir icon, which denotes the wild, possesses a multiplier of 1x to 100x that applies when it is part of a win. More than one Ymir wild in a paying combination triggers a respin, and the free rounds continue until no more wilds come into view.
• Megamultiplier: If this symbol appears when Ymir icons are on the reels, their multiplier values are added together and transform into a global Megamultiplier. The multiplier value applies to any win, and the symbol triggers respins that stop when no new Ymir symbols appear.
• Dawn of the Gods: Three scatters activate 10 Dawn of the Gods free spins with higher chances of landing Ymir wilds with more valuable multipliers.
• Fury of War: Four scatters trigger 10 Fury of War freebies where the value of new Ymir wilds that appear during an active Megamultiplier is collected and applied to all payouts.
• Fall of Ymir: Five scatters trigger 10 Fall of Ymir freebies with dead, Volcanic Ymir, Megamultiplier, and Asgardian Orb symbols with upgraded respins and multiplier bonuses.

Feature Buy Options

Rise of Ymir offers the chance to skip the base round and jump straight into the bonus action with multiple Feature Buy options. The choices range includes 3x the bet to increase the chances of landing a bonus, 100x for the Dawn of Gods free spins, 200x for the Fury of Ymir freebies, and 300x for the Fall of Ymir free spins.
