1. Mascot Gaming just came out with 'Yukon Fever,' a game about the old-time gold hunts. What makes this game different from others?

"Yukon Fever" is a gold rush like no other. Here, luck swings with every spin. No win? No problem. Symbols morph into Wilds, turning near misses into new chances. It’s a game where the cold Yukon keeps every spin heated with unpredictability.

2. In 'Yukon Fever,' symbols turn into Wilds if you don’t get a winning combination. Can you tell us more about why you added this and how it makes the game fun?

Adding Wild transformations in 'Yukon Fever' introduces one of the most thrilling features in slot gaming, delivering a surge of excitement with every spin. This feature dynamically shifts the gameplay, making each moment unpredictable and full of potential. After a non-winning spin, seeing symbols transform into Wilds can dramatically change the game's landscape, turning a moment of anticipation into an opportunity for unexpected wins.

This aspect of 'Yukon Fever' enriches the player's experience by adding an element of surprise and the chance for the game to swing in their favour suddenly. It captures the essence of the gold rush's unpredictability and the exhilarating chance of striking gold with just a bit of luck. The transformation feature keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging, ensuring that no two spins feel exactly the same and maintaining the excitement of the hunt for fortune.

3. You've got a feature where players can try to win more by picking a higher card than the dealer. Why did you include this, and how does it add to the thrill?

The feature in question, where players have the opportunity to increase their winnings by choosing a card higher than the dealer's, is a direct nod to the high-stakes gambles of the Wild West era. This mechanic isn't just about testing luck; it's a deliberate design choice that taps into the daring, risk-taking ethos that defined the period.

Incorporating this feature enhances the Wild West theme by evoking the tense, smoke-filled saloons where fortunes were made and lost in the blink of an eye. It adds an extra layer of excitement and immersion, reminding players of the fearless adventurers and gamblers who risked it all in search of wealth and glory. Through this, 'Yukon Fever' doesn't just tell a story—it invites players to live out their own tales of audacity and fortune-hunting in the untamed North.
