GREENTUBE RELEASES VIKING & DRAGON NOVOMATIC INTERACTIVE SUBSIDIARY Greentube announced its latest release with the launch of its Norse-themed Viking & Dragon slot. The game follows the actionpacked journeys of a fearless Viking and his fire-breathing friend, Dragon, as they go in search of gold and legend. The five-reel, three-row slot with 25 win lines features free games and extra added wilds. The Coin and Dwarf symbols are even more special, as just two symbols next to each other win. The Coin is also the Wild symbol and substitutes all other symbols except the Chest (Scatter symbol) to form winning combinations and further increase the chances of winning.
ISOFTBET LAUNCHES LEGEND OF LOKI IN ANOTHER NORSE-THEMED slot, iSoftBet released a 20-line video slot, Legend of Loki. Drawing on Norse mythology, the title includes various features such as wild strikes, stacked re-spins and storm showers, as well as a free spins round with a unique sticky symbol. “While we know our players appreciate technical quality, an element of mystery adds real excitement to a game,” says head of business development Michael Probert. “We paired our audio-visual excellence and unique mechanics with the Norse Legend of Loki to produce a game that will keep players on the edge of their seats.”
