Step Into the Fascinating World of Norse Mythology in The Runemakers DoubleMax™ by Yggdrasil and Bang Bang Games

Feb 28, 2024 Anna Kiselova
Yggdrasil and Bang Bang Games have caught everyone’s attention once more. The two renowned online casino game developers have rolled out a new video slot masterpiece — The Runemakers DoubleMax™. This is their first game that combines the cluster pay mechanic and the multiplying power of DoubleMax™.
Set in an enchanted Nordic forest ruled by the Runemakers, the game unfolds on a 6×6 matrix bordered by ivy vines. There are no standard paylines; instead, you form a winning cluster by landing 5 or more matching symbols on a grid, horizontally or vertically.

The symbols consist of different runes intricately engraved on sparkling gems. Plus, there is a wild and a scatter.


The Runemakers DoubleMax™ is rich in features, and the first one you’ll notice is the Dropdown function. It removes the winning symbols from the reels, and each time it is triggered, 1–5 wild symbols will be added to the empty positions. In addition, it also plays a part in activating the DoubleMax™ mechanics, which doubles the total win multiplier.

Don’t be surprised if you see Mystery symbols during symbol replacements because they might appear after any win. They then transform into the same symbol, potentially bringing you even heftier prizes.

The scatter is your best friend for entering the bonus round. Landing at least 3 of them will get you in and let you have 7 FS. Each player will get a chance to gamble and win even more free spins before the round starts. Although you can earn up to 11 additional attempts at the reels, if you lose the bet, you’ll be left with no FS and return to the base game.

Yggdrasil’s chief product officer, Mark McGinley, has praised The Runemakers DoubleMax™ for bringing an engaging twist to one of its most popular GEMs. The team has combined cluster pays with the DoubleMax™ mechanic for the first time, and they believe it will be a great match. With its excellent features and impressive win potential, there’s no doubt that this release will be popular with players and operators alike.

Managing director of Bang Bang Games, Frank McPolin, has commented that it has been an excellent experience for them to explore novel themes and concepts while developing The Runemakers DoubleMax™. Therefore, they cannot wait to demonstrate the ancient power of Nordic mythology to players across the globe, as this game has all the ingredients to become a real hit.

Yggdrasil and Bang Bang Games have collaborated multiple times, releasing 14 titles together. The majority of them are from the DoubleMax™, UltraNudge™, and Gigablox™ collections, but other video slots are also available, such as Ancient Eclipse, Jumbo Jellies, and Arctic Catch.
