Yggdrasil launches brand-new mechanic in Starfire Fortunes TopHit

Leading igaming publisher Yggdrasil has entered an interstellar world like no other in its newest release, Starfire Fortunes TopHit, featuring the supplier’s tenth Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM). 

TopHit includes a reel that sits above the game, spinning in tandem. If a high-paying symbol lands fully in view, it will transform into a wild and turn any matching icons on the reels into wilds. If multiple copies of the same symbol land on the top reel, the wilds they produce will gain a multiplier of up to 5x.

A nudge icon can land on the fifth reel, which will push all the partially visible symbols on the special reel to make them fully visible, further enhancing the chances of wilds landing.

Three or more free spins symbols will trigger the bonus, where all features visible on the TopHit reel will remain for the duration of the session, ensuring significant chances of multiple wilds landing on single spins. In addition, more spins can be earned, either by landing a free spin symbol or if six or more copies of the same icon land on the TopHit reel during the round.

The title features a golden bet, where a guaranteed nudge can occur, and a buy bonus, where players can travel directly to the bonus round, in certain jurisdictions.

Starfire Fortunes TopHit is the latest game developed by Yggdrasil, which continues to combine innovative GEMs with bold themes and win potential.

Mark McGinley, chief gaming officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Our tenth GEM has been launched and we couldn’t be happier. The TopHit mechanic means any spin can lead to multiple wilds landing on the reels, while this takes a whole new dynamic in the bonus round with seriously lucrative wins up for grabs.

“Boasting a max payout of 25,000x, it’s a game that offers an easy-to-understand mechanic that brings a bold new flavour to the intergalactic creation.”
