Yggdrasil goes voodoo with Baron Samedi slot release

Yggdrasil Gaming has gone down a dark path with the release of the Baron Samedi online slot game.

In Haitian voodoo tradition, Baron Samedi is the great spirit of the dead who ushers the deceased into the afterlife.

He is also charismatic trickster, occasional life-giver and expert in black magic who has a taste for rum and tobacco.

“The intricately designed slot is a beautiful testament to the detail our development teams include in every one of our games,” said Jonas Strandman, Head of Slots at Yggdrasil.

The base game includes five reels, three rows of symbols and 25 paylines, but it is the bonus features that make Baron Samedi what it is.

Players can collect up to 36 tarot cards that correspond to stacked symbols, extra wilds, mystery symbols, guaranteed wins, multipliers and other specials.

The cards come into play whenever two or more scatter symbols appear on the reels.

Two scatters result in a respin with three cards dealt, while three or more scatters get you a coin win and at least seven free spins with three cards dealt on every spin.

“Thirty-six collections might sound overwhelming at first, but as players begin their journey, they will find a well-balanced, action-packed game where powerful feature combinations can be activated with every spin, with the added anticipation of almost-guaranteed big wins when they finish a collection,” added Strandman.

“We are very proud of Baron Samedi and are confident that its amazing gameplay experience will raise an army of loyal followers!”

The Baron Samedi pokies game is now available at Yggdrasil casinos such as SlotsMillion.com, which runs thousands of real money slot games for PC, Mac and mobile.
