BGaming joins forces with Portuguese street artist for its first slot in the series

The company has announced the release of Yokai, the debut title in its new ART Collab series.

Press release.- BGaming has announced the release of Yokai, the debut title in its new ART Collab series, developed in partnership with one of Portugal’s most influential street artists.

ART Collab is an ongoing collection of titles created together with street artists from around the world. Each title will see the studio work alongside a different artist, helping them bring their individual art styles to life on the reels. Yokai marks BGaming’s third collaboration with the Portuguese street artist, following two previous projects, and this is the first time the partnership has evolved into a full game.

The partnership started when BGaming first encountered the artist’s work at an exhibition in Lisbon. Since then, they have worked together on various projects, including auctioned artwork as part of BGaming’s Charity Gala.

The reels have become a digital canvas for the artist’s creativity. The design, artwork, and story were created by the artist and brought to life with the help of the BGaming Team. The slot features various nods to the artist’s portfolio, including iconic images that inspired the game concept, used as symbols on the game grid.

In Yokai, players join a mysterious Samurai on the edge of an ancient Japanese forest in the shadow of Mount Fuji. The Samurai stands guard alongside the Yokai, the fortune-bearing spirits of the woods, bursting to life at various points during the game, triggering the bonus round. The Yokai spirits appear and vanish across the board during idle moments, giving the slot’s world a life of its own and making it ideal for live-streaming sessions.

On the gameplay side, Yokai features two types of Wilds, cumulative multipliers, and a Free Spins bonus round, which serves up a random number of spins each time. It also boasts a high winning potential, with a maximum win of x8,000 and a 97 per cent RTP.

The slot offers two Buy options. Buy Chance allows players to double the likelihood of triggering the bonus at a higher stake, while the Buy Bonus allows players to access Free Spins immediately.
