“Mount Everest Mythology was the inspiration for our first slot 9K Yeti. We wanted to combine a climbing adventure with the elusive Yeti. Taking the player on that magic journey – not knowing what awaits them!

We spent a lot of time working on the Yeti design, it needed to be magnificent yet scary and respected. Iterations included animalistic expressions with almost fox-like features, In the end, we went with a design that showed human traits – this was done to create a connection to the player.

On the base game we took a photorealistic approach, to try and capture the elements the player might encounter on their climb; the crisp air, the bright sun and the gentle wind. This is offset by the design in the snowstorm feature where the tempo lifts and action descends.

I am proud of the outcome and hopefully, the players will enjoy their Everest adventure and find that 9K Yeti.”
