AceRun and Yggdrasil launch festive slot Golden Donkey Xmas

AceRun has partnered with Yggdrasil to launch Golden Donkey Xmas, a seasonal slot title built around a Hold and Win mechanic with retriggerable free spins.

The game awards its Hold & Win bonus mode when six or more bonus symbols appear, with the feature populated solely by coin and jackpot icons. Play begins with three free spins, and the counter resets whenever a further bonus symbol lands. Should every field display bonus or jackpot coins during the feature, players receive the Grand jackpot on top of any other wins.

In the base game, landing three scatter symbols on reels two, three or four triggers eight free games, which can be retriggered if another three scatters appear during that round, extending the potential winnings.

Golden Donkey Xmas is AceRun’s eighth title released under the YGG Masters initiative. The game runs on Yggdrasil’s GATI technology, a standardised, regulation-ready development toolkit designed to help partners produce and distribute content quickly.

Zoe Bird, Head of Masters at Yggdrasil, said the title was launched ahead of the festive period and highlighted its Hold and Win mechanic and retriggerable free spins as offering an entertaining experience for the season.

Jeroen van der Heijden, Head of Development at AceRun, described the game as offering a journey of surprises and rewards, adding that its gameplay and festive theme were designed to appeal to players over the holidays.

The release was issued by Yggdrasil.
