Yggdrasil has partnered with Aristocrat’s online real money gaming (RMG) division, Aristocrat Interactive, to distribute its games in North America. Aristocrat Interactive now has exclusive rights to supply Yggdrasil’s content in the US and Ontario, with games from the provider expected to be integrated through Aristocrat’s studio accelerator and RGS platform, Ignite.  

The integration will be completed by Aristocrat Interactive’s Content & Aggregation division. 

Titles set to be integrated into Aristocrat Interactive’s platform include Valley of the Dead OnlyWins, Aphrodite Goes Wild Rushing Wilds and 3 Gladiators vs Caesar, among others.  

On the partnership, Yggdrasil CCO Jose Simon Kadala said, “As far as names in the industry go, they don’t come much bigger or renowned than Aristocrat Interactive, and we are very excited to make this significant step together in North America. 

“Aristocrat Interactive’s platform offers us everything we need to succeed in the region, and we have the utmost confidence that our profile will enhance considerably in this key market in the coming years.” 

Good to know: Yggdrasil was founded in 2013. On 14 January 2025, it appointed Kadala as CCO. The week prior, it received a Danish gaming license 

Aristocrat Interactive Content & Aggregation Director of Partnerships Ashley Bloor added, “We are thrilled to welcome Yggdrasil to Ignite and integrate its engaging and dynamic content into our portfolio, enhancing the variety and quality of content we offer our operators. This relationship underscores our commitment to delivering the most robust and desirable gaming experiences across North America.” 

Both Yggdrasil and Aristocrat Interactive have reported a range of partnerships in recent months. On Yggdrasil’s side, it announced a partnership with Galera.bet in Brazil in July, ahead of the regulated launch of the market. 

Meanwhile, in December alone, Aristocrat Interactive partnered with both Big Bola and the Kentucky Lottery, expanding its reach in Mexico and the Bluegrass State respectively.
