Fire Starts the Elemental Forces Series

Elemental Forces Embers is a fire-themed slot released through Yggdrasil on 25 August 2026, and the first game in Boomerang Studios' new Elemental Forces series. Yggdrasil's page names no other titles in the series yet, so Embers is the only one with published details.

The game pays across 1,024 ways and is built around what Yggdrasil calls POWER UP action. In the base game, reels 2, 3 and 4 can each switch on upgrades that add Wilds or boost wins, and in Free Spins those reels evolve as Wilds are collected.

Volatility is rated High and the top multiplier is X 8,233. The spec sheet lists no paylines and no separate feature list, so the description is the whole of the published rules.

Yggdrasil lists three RTP figures: 96%, 94%, 92%. Each is a separate version of the game, and the rules or help screen inside the game shows which one is running, so treat 96% as the top of the range rather than a fixed return.

Volatility is High and the hit frequency is 38.17%, close to two winning spins in five. That is a high hit rate to pair with a High volatility rating, but the two are not in conflict: hit frequency counts every win, including those smaller than the stake, while volatility describes how unevenly the returns are spread.

The max win is €246,990 and the maximum multiplier is X 8,233. They match at the €30 top bet, since 8,233 times €30 is €246,990. At the €1 default bet the multiplier would come to €8,233, shown only to illustrate the maths.

Bets are listed as €1 (min: €0.20, max: €30). That €30 ceiling is why the euro max win is far smaller than X 8,233 would be at a €100 stake.

Elemental Forces Embers pays on 1,024 ways, and its spec sheet lists no paylines at all. Yggdrasil gives the ways count in the description and again alongside the max win, so it is the one layout figure the provider commits to.

Yggdrasil's page does not give the reel and row layout or the symbol values, and it does not confirm whether every way pays from left to right. Open the paytable before judging the base game, because the value of a Wild depends on which symbols it is completing.

During the base game, reels 2, 3 and 4 can activate three distinct upgrades: Random Wild, Win Multi and Wild Multi. Yggdrasil says they add extra Wilds and boost winning potential, which is the engine behind the POWER UP name.

Yggdrasil describes the three together as adding extra Wilds and boosting winning potential, without explaining each one separately. It gives no values for any of them either, so how many Wilds are added and how large the multipliers get is for the paytable to say.

The page also does not say whether each upgrade belongs to one particular reel, whether more than one can activate on the same spin, or what triggers an upgrade in the first place. Those three questions decide how often the feature matters, so they are the first things to read in the rules.

In Free Spins, the POWER UP reels evolve as Wilds are collected, and their effects grow stronger. That progression is the main difference between the bonus round and the base game.

Yggdrasil does not publish how Free Spins are triggered, how many spins are awarded, how many Wilds each upgrade level needs or how many levels there are. Nor does the page mention a bonus buy, so as far as the provider's page shows, the round is reached only by playing.

Because the effects grow as Wilds are collected, the round is built to escalate rather than stay flat. Yggdrasil does not say whether the upgrades reset when the round ends or carry anything back to the base game, so read that in the rules too.

Yggdrasil's demo runs in euro play money, and it is the only way to see the upgrade values the game page leaves out.

In the base game, watch reels 2, 3 and 4. Note which upgrade appears on which reel, how many extra Wilds Random Wild adds and what size multipliers Win Multi and Wild Multi show. Then read the paytable for the symbol values across the 1,024 ways.

When Free Spins start, track the Wild collection and see what each new level changes. Finally, check the RTP line in the rules screen to see which of the three versions the demo is running.
