Yggdrasil and Thunderbolt Gaming Unveil the Feature-Rich “Rise and Fall of Ra”

Yggdrasil, a top name in the iGaming industry, has teamed up with Thunderbolt Gaming to launch an exciting new game with an Egyptian theme, called “Rise and Fall of Ra.” This game introduces players to an innovative gaming experience with six expanding reels, an engaging Bonus Wheel, and an intriguing reverse play feature during the free spin’s mode.

The game begins with a unique reel matrix that changes size. As players land Horus symbols, sliding columns on each reel move up, potentially expanding the play area to a 6×9 grid, which opens up an impressive 531,441 ways to win.

When any column reaches its maximum height, players activate a Bonus Wheel. This wheel can grant various rewards, including free spins, a respins feature, access to either a small or large prize wheel, or sticky stacked wilds, maximizing the game’s winning potential.

The Bonus Wheel isn’t the only path to free spins; landing three or more scatter symbols in one spin also triggers this sought-after mode.

Once in the free spins feature, the game resets the reels to start three symbols high, offering another chance to expand the reels and win a Bonus Wheel. This mode keeps the excitement high with prize wheels and sticky stacked wilds, along with the possibility of a direct cash prize.

For those eager to boost their chances of hitting the Bonus Wheel or skip straight to the free spins, the game includes a Boost feature and a Buy Bonus option.

“Rise and Fall of Ra” marks Thunderbolt Gaming’s second creation under the YGG Masters program, following the successful release of “Mayan Waterfalls” in 2023.

The game benefits from Yggdrasil’s advanced GATI technology, a tool kit that allows partners to develop high-quality content and distribute it quickly and efficiently, ensuring a top-notch gaming experience for players around the globe.

Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said:

“Thunderbolt Gaming is a YGG Masters partner that has an unmistakeable approach to game design, with a careful focus on mechanics, design, and ultimately the refined production of an exceptional slot experience.

“Rise and Fall of Ra sees a unique column lifting mechanic introduced as players can enjoy numerous bonus modes, all while exploring the popular theme of Ancient Egypt.”
