Yggdrasil launches new Robin – Sherwood Marauders online slot via Peter & Sons collaboration

In its latest Peter & Sons (P&S) collaboration, Swedish provider of online gaming solutions, Yggdrasil Gaming, has launched its second YG Masters title inside of one month, Robin – Sherwood Marauders.

Based on the legendary heroic outlaw of English folklore who was known for his generosity to the poor and his extreme dislike for the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, the 6-reel, 4-row video slot, which according to Yggdrasil is “a title that all slots fans will love,” offers 4,096 paylines that pay all-ways and a €700,000 max win. 

Set in Sherwood Forest where Robin Hood and his band of merry men await the wicked tax collectors, the high volatility GATI-powered game features Avalanche Cascades, increasing prize Multipliers, expanding Wilds and “Super Free Spins,” and a 96.10 percent RTP (return to player).

Players can choose to bet as little as €0.10 all the way up to €20 per round to pay for fixed wins that range from 2X to 40X the bet, while lining up the game’s symbols that include card suits as the low pays, followed by a club, a lute, an arrow-filled quiver, crossed swords, the nasty tax man, and Robin Hood himself for the premiums.

Game features:

During gameplay, Avalanche Cascades are activated by landing a win on the reels which causes the winning titles to disappear. After that, new symbols drop filling the empty spaces for a chance to create even more winning combinations. Cascades end when new wins no longer line up. A win multiplier increases by +1 with each new cascade and resets to its starting value of 1x with each new spin.

When at least three bonus symbols land on the reels, 10 extra spins are awarded, with an additional two spins added for each scatter symbol. In addition to a multiplier being applied to all wins, the feature also includes expanding Wilds which grow in size to cover the entire reels.

“Super Free Spins,” meanwhile, launches when treasure chest scatter symbols fill the progress bar which is displayed below the reels in the base game. When that happens, 10 extra spins are awarded and multipliers start at random value and expanding wilds land on the reels more frequently.

Promising partnership:

Using a company presser to comment on the new release, Head of Partner for Yggdrasil Gaming, Stuart McCarthy said…

“Peter & Sons produce instantly recognisable content and are masters at developing premium titles with unparalleled design and graphics coupled with highly entertaining gameplay.” He added that Robin – Sherwood Marauders, which stars a legendary character that is known worldwide and is “packed with gripping features,” is “a title that all slots fans will love,” and that they can’t wait to see what more P&S will develop via its YG Masters.

The new game is developed in conjunction with Armenian-based game development studio and powered by the Cherry AB subsidiary’s state-of-the-art GATI (Game Adaptation Tools & Interface) technology, which is used by all its YG Masters partners, allowing them to produce cutting-edge content and rapidly distribute those products.

Also commenting on its “unique take on one of the world’s most famous folktales,” which offers players a thrilling and engaging experience while chasing big wins,” Business Development Manager for Peter & Sons, Yann Bautista said…

“Like all our titles, Robin – Sherwood Marauders is beautifully illustrated with charming characters and music and fun features that keep players on the edge of their seats. Creating our content via GATI ensures a rapid development process and wide distribution and we couldn’t be happier to be part of the YG Masters program.”

The launch follows the successful March 29th release of Johan Legendarian, the first P&Ss game through the YG Masters program, after the up-and-coming studio agreed to implement Yggdrasil’s popular Gigablox mechanic in upcoming titles via the game engagement mechanics (GEM) offering.

Virginia Wants You to Snitch on Illegal Gambling Operations

by admin Games News

In a public appeal, the Virginia State Police said that it is launching a dedicated hotline, Gaming Tip Line, which is aimed at helping authorities locate and shutter illegal gambling operations.

Illegal Forms of Gambling Now Targeted by the Public Eye

This comes after extended attempts by local authorities to limit the proliferation of illegal gambling properties that have continued to push their illicit business onto customers. A statement from the police reads:

“As the options and opportunities for legal gaming in Virginia expand, Virginia State Police is launching a statewide gaming tip line and online form for the public to report concerns of suspected gaming operations.”

Virginia police

The idea is to involve the public so that such operations are much harder to run, although they are unlikely to disappear completely just because an informant line has been set up.

Then again, there is a correlation between the lowering of illegal operations and higher public awareness and involvement. This comes at a time of reasonable doubts also raised about the nature of gambling expansion in Virginia, with one lawmaker said to have accepted donations from a casino developer.

The tip line need not deliver concrete evidence either, as people may just call in and leave tips about potential illicit operations that they only suspect. Meanwhile, Virginia continues to play a tug-of-war between bars, restaurants, and convenience store owners on the one hand and the Supreme Court on the other, which has taken a dim view of the so-called skill game machines in the state.

Skill-based games were banned in Virginia back in October by the Supreme Court of Virginia, finding the games to be nothing more than actual slot machines operating under a false pretence. Naturally, this has elicited a strong response from companies involved in the sector making a good buck out of it, and the owners of such establishments have confirmed that they would bear the brunt of this decision.

Arguing the Toss – Machines Have to Go

However, in the past two months since, the majority of such machines have been unplugged, indicative of the realization that no matter what the opposition, law enforcement will seize such games and most likely take punitive measures against any business owner that hosts such operations on their premises.

The machines, many owners said, were a lifeline for their business, and without them, they would simply go under, but this appeal has not swayed the Supreme Court. Now, Virginia’s police are taking matters further by encouraging the public to share evidence of suspected wrongdoing involving what is now considered illegal gambling.

Youthforia’s Darkest Shade Causes Controversy on TikTok

by admin Games News

The makeup brand Youthforia is facing criticism online over the darkest shade of its Date Night foundation.

Youthforia, launched in 2021, caught flack in Oct. 2023 after releasing 15 shades of the Date Night Skin Tint that several beauty influencers, mainly those with darker skin tones, called out for not being inclusive.

The brand expanded their shade range in March, releasing 10 new foundation shades, in response to the criticism. But Youthforia’s attempt to right their wrongs is facing even more backlash.

Why Youthforia is under fire

Beauty influencer Golloria George, who has a regular series on her page where she swatches the darkest shade of makeup products offered by different beauty brands, posted a video on Monday of a swatch test for Youthforia’s shade 600 foundation, the darkest color in the line. This video, however, began a little differently than George’s usual posts. It shows that on one side of her face, she applied the foundation; on the other, she applied black face paint to reveal that both look the same.

“Which side of my face is the black face paint or the Youthforia foundation? Tea, you can’t tell. You know why? Tar in a bottle,” she says, holding up the foundation bottle.

The video gained over 11.6 million views in less than 24 hours. In a follow-up video that now has more than 2 million views, George tests out Youthforia’s second-darkest shade, 590, which leans too red for her skin tone. “I’m a little bit cooler than 590, guys, which means Youthforia does not even make my shade,” she says before comparing shade 590 to shade 600. 

“When we say we want you guys to make shades for us, we don’t mean [for you] to go to the lab and ask for minstrel show black,” George says in the video. “What we mean is for you to take the browns that you have made and create undertones. Do what you need to do in the lab so it’s a darker shade of brown.”

In an interview with TIME, George says she was shocked and frustrated when she swatched the foundation for the first time. “It was a really weird, surreal, out-of-this-world experience,” says. “It almost didn’t feel real.”

In October, George tried the Youthforia’s darkest foundation shade at the time, 495, which was not a match. She called out the brand for making the shade look different on its website and in the bottle than how it actually appears on her skin. After trying the newest deep shade, George says she’s frustrated. “Last year, the shade wasn’t dark enough. Not only do you miss the mark once, you go back and miss the mark again,” she says. “That just says a lot about the ethos of the brand. It rubbed me the wrong way, and I thought, ‘This is really hurtful.’”

The work of calling out brands for their lack of inclusivity “weighs a lot” on George. While her videos constantly go viral, they are “met with anti-blackness and colorism.” She says that it’s “easy for TikTok and the internet to police dark-skinned women’s experiences in beauty and when it comes to trying stuff that doesn’t work for us.”

Other beauty brands have made products accessible to a wide range of skin tones; therefore, George says it’s disheartening when brands are exclusive. George suggests that Youthforia scrap shade 600 altogether and work to correct course by using shade 590 as a place to tweak and make changes to the shade range.

Several other beauty influencers and TikTok creators have stitched George’s video to express their distaste for Youthforia’s new shade. In a video about the foundation, cosmetic chemist Javon Ford notes the differences between the brand’s lighter shades and the darkest shade. The ingredients list for one of the lighter shades includes three different colors, shown by the “CI” marker at the bottom. Ford explains what each represents and says those are “pretty much the only colors you need to create a lighter shade.”

Ford then examines the ingredients list for the darkest shade, which only includes one “CI” number. 

“This foundation only has pure black pigment,” he says. “This problem is so avoidable. This brand does not care about us.”

Ayeyi, a TikToker who says she’s worked in the beauty industry for the past 10 years, stitched George’s video to say that beauty brands “know what they’re doing. It’s not hard to extend a shade range.”

“This shade that they released is actually asinine,” she says. “It is so obvious to me that this brand released this shade begrudgingly as some sort of half-baked consolation prize.”

Youthforia founder Fiona Co Chan has had to answer to criticism of the brand’s lack of inclusivity since launching their first 15 foundation shades last year. In a since-deleted video, Chan said the first drop was a “proof of concept” to see if the brand would be successful. YouTuber Jackie Aina, who is often credited for blazing the trail of online content creators trying to hold beauty brands accountable, stitched her video and said that as a business owner, she understands why Chan made this video but can see why it’s “bullsh-t.”

“What you’re inadvertently saying is that anybody that isn’t dark skin is the default, and if they like it first, then the rest of y’all will get it,” Aina said.

Before launching the new shades in March, including shade 600, Chan posted a video on Youthforia’s TikTok page saying she had trouble finding a model for the latest shade. “I’m super stressed because I need to find a model for our darkest shade of Youthforia foundation,” Chan says in the video. She explains that they reached out to modeling agencies but couldn’t find any models that the shade worked on. In the video, there is text at the bottom of one clip that says, “This is a huge problem! I hope model agencies sign on more diverse models.” She goes on to say the company held a casting call and still couldn’t find anyone.

On Thursday, Chan posted another video saying she was on “the other side of the world,” which is later revealed to be Dubai, and had found two men to model for her. One of them was later used as a model for the swatch test on the website. Representatives for Chan and Youthforia did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 

After TikToker Wumi Afuye (@wumi.afuye) posted a video last week, giving her opinion on the new darkest shade, she followed up on Wednesday to say that someone from the company messaged a group of Youthforia TikTok ambassadors to address the concerns regarding the shade.

“Seeing some confusion on our TikTok from people who are suggesting that our darkest shade of foundation (Shade 600) is ‘black face paint’ and not meant for real people,” reads the message she . “We created shade 600 as part of our ten-shade expansion this past March. We heard everyone loud and clear last October that our shades were not dark enough or inclusive enough.”

According to the message, Chan “worked super hard, calling in favors with all of her manufacturers to get this created in four months instead of the regular 18 months.” The brand says they worked with makeup artists and tested against real people. The message ends with a suggestion for the brand’s ambassadors to “comment on any TikTok post with a [heart emoji] or any positivity.”
