“With multi-level Free Games, potentially indefinite retriggers and expanding mega symbols, Book of Dwarves is set to be the most exciting Age of the Gods Norse game yet,” said Yehonatan Tishler, game producer for Origins. “As the levels rise, the more valuable symbols expand too, creating fantastic win potential.

“With the chance to win one of three Age of the Gods Norse Jackpots on any spin too, we’re sure Book of Dwarves will prove highly popular with both fans of the suite and fantasy-themed games – or any player who enjoys innovative features with the potential for big wins.”

Pragmatic Play’s Gems Bonanza

“With tumbling wins, every spin can lead to more wins, and with the nature of the Gold Fever feature, these wins can quickly increase in value exponentially. We’re delighted with Gems Bonanza and can’t wait to see how it is received by players.”
