Caesars Entertainment backs Yggdrasil’s debut in US iGaming market

Caesars Entertainment has facilitated Yggdrasil’s long-awaited entry into the regulated US online casino sector, signing a content deal that brings the studio’s games to players in Michigan and New Jersey. Yggdrasil’s portfolio will initially go live on three of Caesars’ digital brands — Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino — with integration handled by Aristocrat Interactive.

“This partnership reinforces our commitment to bringing players fresh and entertaining gaming experiences across our online casino platforms,” said Ricardo Cornejo Rivas, Vice President of Online Gaming at Caesars Digital. “We’re proud to introduce Yggdrasil’s innovative content to players in Michigan and New Jersey and look forward to building a strong and successful partnership together.”

One initial title now available to Caesars’ customers in both states is Valley of the Gods, a 5×5 ancient-Egyptian slot first released in 2017. The game features multipliers, respins, extra lives, and hidden treasure blocks. Additional Yggdrasil titles are expected to roll out across the operator’s platforms in the coming months.

Aurora Armaro, Head of Region LATAM & USA at Yggdrasil, noted: “Launching our first game in the United States with one of the industry’s strongest operators represents a major milestone for Yggdrasil.” She added that the company sees the partnership as the first of many opportunities to deliver premium content to players across North America.
