Hi everyone!
First of all, thanks to everyone for the keen interest in Vikings Go Berzerk - even though we don't we agree with everything, we appreciate any feedback nonetheless
Here's a quick reply by us at Yggdrasil regarding some of the questions that have risen in this topic:
1)
The RTP in Vikings Go Berzerk (VGB) doesn't change depending on how full any of the meters is. Also - the speed at which any meter fills doesn't change based on how full any meter is. Collection games are OK from a regulatory perspective, as long as it is described in the game rules how it works. But to secretly change the game RTP depending on the status of the collection is not OK. And we don't do that and have no incentive to do something like that. That goes for all of our games.
2) The reason VGB didn't have a UK certification until now is because the certification process is very strict and takes time. Due to that
our games come to UK up to a couple of months later than the .com release - but nothing changes during that time in the game maths or game. That wouldn't be allowed by any regulatory body (and also by operators) and also we would have absolutely no incentive of doing anything like that, both because of our beliefs and repercussions. Each of our games is made to fit all the standards and certifications by all of the markets the game eventually will be available on - and that always also includes UK.
We are actively working on minimizing the time between receiving our Malta and UK licences with every new release and hoping to start putting out games on both .com and .uk sites simultaneously very soon.
The certification of Vikings Go Berzerk by UK Gambling Commission was just finished and the game will be launched in UK 5th of April.
3) Our apologies to lockinlove that we haven't replied to him - as we continue our search for the emails that you've already sent and that seem to have slipped through the cracks of internet, we've also sent you a private response with a direct email so we can make sure you can share you studies with us.
We are of course honoured and thankful to everyone keeping a keen eye on our games, be it a fan or a critic, but also remind you that our goal is to offer our players the best slot games possible for years to come. And we don't believe one can be the best by cheating. We are a relatively young company but believe that the evergrowing list of AAA operators sharing our games, together with the industry awards we've received during our first years of operation are a clear sign that we also have earned the trust of both our peers and regulatory bodies.
Also just to give you a heads up on possible future discussions and to avoid any misunderstanding - we won't be replying on this forum regularly as we believe our actions to speak louder than our words. But we promise we'll keep an eye on and try to clarify when it seems our actions aren't enough anymore.
We hope you continue enjoying our games in the future as we enjoy making them. And be sure to
check out the Vikings Go Berzerk on your favourite .uk sites starting from next Wednesday
All the best,
Team Yggdrasil
