Yggdrasil is happy to report that the company has teamed up with Merkur, a global behemoth, in Serbia to expand through its local MerkurXtip brand in the fast-developing Eastern European market.
Serbia provides both operators and suppliers with a dynamic and lucrative business environment, making Yggdrasil’s further local expansion logical.

The integration is carried out through a team-up with Bragg Gaming, which has helped roll out both the supplier’s original content as well as curated third-party content from the YGG Masters portfolio.
Commenting on this opportunity, Yggdrasil CCO Jose Kadala said that the company was greatly pleased to be further boosting its presence in the local market, and with Merkur, of all companies.
“We are confident that it will be a roaring success as we deliver both our proven core titles and innovative YGG Masters content to players. Serbia represents an important growth market for us, and this deal demonstrates our commitment to providing operators with exceptional player experiences across regulated regions.”
Among the titles that Merkur players may now enjoy locally and specifically through the MerkurXtip brand are such options as MexoMax 2, Bob Marlin Goes Splashing, and more.
Merkur Head of Online Casino Nenad Aleksić was similarly pleased with the opportunity to see the company host Yggdrasil’s blockbuster and third-party games onto the MerkurXtip platform, adding:
“Yggdrasil’s reputation for creating engaging, high-quality gaming content made them an ideal partner for expanding our offering. With a creative approach to game creation and the broad portfolio via the YGG Masters program, their games are a perfect addition to our already strong slot stable.”
Earlier this year, Yggdrasil teamed up with Fruity Entertainment, effectively forging a content alliance to supply the latter’s brands with its original and third-party content.
Serbia’s fast-expanding gambling market has already seen calls for restricting the industry’s reach, including urges to pass a complete ban on gambling advertisement in the country.
