BGaming has launched Yokai, marking the debut of its new ART Collab series. The provider developed the slot in partnership with a Portuguese street artist to showcase their visual style on the reels.
Collaboration Background
This project represents the third collaboration between the studio and the artist, following an initial meeting at a Lisbon exhibition and subsequent artwork auctions at the BGaming Charity Gala. While previous interactions focused on individual pieces, Yokai is the first instance where the partnership has expanded into a complete game design.
The studio worked alongside the artist to translate their specific aesthetic into the slot's interface and grid symbols.
Visuals and Gameplay Mechanics
The visual design relies on the artist's portfolio, utilizing iconic images as grid symbols. The narrative setting places players near Mount Fuji with a guardian Samurai. Animated Yokai spirits appear and disappear during idle moments to trigger bonus rounds, a feature designed to support live-streaming visibility.
The game mechanics include two distinct Wild types and cumulative multipliers. The Free Spins bonus round awards a random number of spins per trigger. Players can utilize the Buy Chance option to increase bonus frequency or the Buy Bonus feature for immediate access.
The slot offers a 97 percent RTP and a maximum payout potential of x8,000.
