May 20, 2025 – Yggdrasil Gaming, a leading publisher in the iGaming industry, has announced the addition of UK-based studio R3SPIN to its prestigious YGG Masters program, further expanding its network of innovative development partners.
Founded in August 2024 by Lloyd Butler, Matthew Parker, and Oliver Vlaytchev—the team behind the successful game development studio Live 5, acquired by a prominent operator in 2022—R3SPIN enters the market with a mission to deliver premium slot content and push creative boundaries across multiple game formats.
The studio aims to build on the success and momentum of its founders’ past ventures, with a focus on high-quality, engaging gameplay that resonates with today’s slot audiences. In addition to classic slots, R3SPIN plans to expand into non-slot gaming formats, showcasing a versatile and forward-thinking content strategy.
As part of the YGG Masters program, R3SPIN will leverage Yggdrasil’s cutting-edge technology stack, including the GATI (Game Adaptation Tools & Interface) framework, enabling the studio to develop and distribute games efficiently across Yggdrasil’s global operator network.
Zoe Bird, Head of Masters at Yggdrasil, welcomed the new addition:
“We’re excited to welcome R3SPIN to the YGG Masters family. They have a clear vision and a passion for creating standout games, and we’re looking forward to helping them scale their ideas through our technology and commercial reach.”
Lloyd Butler, Founder of R3SPIN, commented on the partnership:
“For us, it’s not just about making great games, it’s about making sure they reach the right audiences. Partnering with Yggdrasil as our distribution partner is a key strategic step. Their platform, network, and expertise are second to none, and we’re thrilled to join the YGG Masters program as we prepare to launch our first titles.”
This latest collaboration reinforces Yggdrasil’s commitment to supporting the next generation of iGaming studios, providing access to award-winning tools, scalable technology, and unmatched global reach.
