Yggdrasil is a slot studio licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, known for the Vikings series and for its own game mechanics, which it calls GEMs, such as GigaBlox, where oversized symbols land on the reels. It also lets partner studios build games on its technology, so some slots released under Yggdrasil come from those partners.
