Yggdrasil Enters Finnish Market with Fruity Entertainment Deal, Launches on Kaahaus and Spinnaus

Yggdrasil has officially entered the Finnish gaming scene through a deal with Fruity Entertainment, whose two local casino brands, Kaahaus and Spinnaus, will be hosting titles developed by Yggdrasil. The Swedish company will be launching Game Engagement Mechanics (GEMs) and YG Masters programme titles—games made by Yggdrasil’s partner studios—as part of the deal. Find out what this means for the Finnish market.

Key Details of the Yggdrasil–Fruity Deal

The partnership Fruity Entertainment came into fruition in July 2025, marking the very first time the developer’s titles became accessible in the heavily-regulated Finnish market.

While there may be plans for expansion in the future, only the two local gambling platforms Kaahaus.com and Spinnaus.com  will access Yggdrasil’s portfolio for now. Each casino will host the entirety of Yggdrasil’s portfolio, including popular in-house games like Vikingz Go Berzerk and titles from smaller developers that release their games under Yggdrasil’s umbrella.

A notable bit of the agreement is the integration of GEMs—in-game features specific to Yggdrasil games.

Yggdrasil has been on a mission to grow across Europe, and its entry into Finland’s tightly regulated market shows its readiness to meet even the toughest of compliance standards. Analysts have described Yggdrasil’s decision to choose Fruity Entertainment for the partnership as a well-thought-out idea.

The operator is well-recognized in the Finnish market and therefore hands Yggdrasil a solid launchpad to hit the ground running. At the same time, Fruity becomes among the first operators to offer Yggdrasil’s globally-recognized titles in Finland, making it a win-win collaboration for both parties.

What Games Are Going Live in Finland?

To put it simply, the entirety of Yggdrasil’s game portfolio will now be available in Finland courtesy of Kaahaus and Spinnaus. Finnish players can access both classic favourites and newer titles from both Yggdrasil and its partner studios. Here’s what they can expect:

• Vikings Go Berzerk (popular legacy title)
• Valley of the Gods (highly acclaimed slot)
• GigaBlox Vikings (GEMs-based, huge symbols)
• WildEnergy (GEMs-powered volatility)
• MultiMax (feature-rich reel mechanics)
• YG Masters games (select third-party titles enhancing variety)

These titles cater to different tastes with their varying feature packs—from cascading wilds to engaging bonus rounds—offering something for both casual players and thrill‑seekers.

How This Fits Yggdrasil’s 2024–2025 Market Strategy

Yggdrasil’s expansion into Finland is preceded by a distribution deal with Elantil sealed in June, which added over 400 titles to European partner platforms. It’s a series of deals that show that while Yggdrasil is obviously targeting regulated markets across Europe, they understand that there’s a need for a larger portfolio as they’re now catering to a broader player base with a more varied taste spectrum.

Why Finland? Analysts think the market is attractive due to its transparent licensing and relatively high player engagement and is a perfect next step for Yggdrasil who are high on Nordic ambitions. Whether this is a one-off launch or part of a larger push remains to be seen, but it is clear the supplier’s focus is more on depth and less on one-off deals.

About Fruity Entertainment and the Finnish Brands

Fruity Entertainment is a Finland-based operator that runs Kaahaus and Spinnaus—both built for Finnish players. They offer native language support and have become local favourites among online casino buffs, thanks in part to their robust promotional frameworks.

Here’s a quick comparison of the two brands:

Partnering with Yggdrasil was likely a no-brainer for the two casinos—Yggdrasil alone brings over 260 in-house titles, plus hundreds more from its YG Masters partner studios, bringing the total offering to over 700 games. This not only massively expands their libraries but also puts Kaahaus and Spinnaus in a position to accelerate their already growing reach in the Finnish market.

New Brand Visibility Incoming

Entering the Finnish market through a local powerhouse like Fruity Entertainment saves Yggdrasil the need to build visibility from scratch in a market where new titles have been shown to take time to gain traction. For Fruity Entertainment, it’s a strategic chance to attract players who might otherwise turn to offshore casinos just to access Yggdrasil’s games.
