Software provider’s long-awaited release sees players join the legendary Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels actor in an action-packed heist to capture the Crown Jewels

Assemble your crew, plan your approach and spin your way to top prize of 12,000x your stake in The Crown starring Vinnie Jones – the brand-new heist-themed slot from award-winning software providers Swintt that comes locked and loaded with four different base games.

Known for his all-action on-field performances and a star turn as “Big Chris” in Guy Ritchie’s iconic British gangster movies, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, The Crown sees former footballer-turned-actor Jones use his considerable stage presence to light up players’ screens in a much-anticipated release that takes place across four exciting fictional locations throughout the UK.

Boasting a unique line-up of symbols that includes pints, playing cards, guns and crew members, The Crown enables players to travel to one of four base game venues as they build a team and plan their raid on London’s famous Crown Jewels. Players can navigate between the titular The Crown pub, Michael’s Whiskey Tavern, The Bullseye and The Drunken Duck, each of which offers its own unique wild symbol.

Starting with The Crown, any wilds that appear will expand to fill their reels as a potentially lucrative re-spin is triggered. Clicking the car icon will then let players hop over to another location, with Michael’s Whiskey Tavern featuring sticky wilds that remain for up to five spins, The Bullseye boasting 4x multiplier wilds and The Drunken Duck offering random wilds that can fill the reels for gigantic wins.

Of course, jumping from meeting point to meeting point is just the preamble to main event, with The Crown Caper feature being triggerable from any location when three or more jewel scatter symbols appear. When this happens, players will be taken to a new screen where they’ll get to pick from four rows of cards to put together a crew and collect Free Spins that benefit from massive prize multipliers.

At the first level, The Crown Caper feature offers players eight Free Spins with a 3x multiplier applied to all wins. However, providing their pick reveals a crew member, players will advance one row up the grid to unlock even greater rewards. At the top of the pyramid, players can earn 12 Free Spins with a 7x multiplier, but revealing a police siren at any stage will end the picking phase and start the feature.

Naturally, planning the perfect heist is all about timing – and if players don’t want to wait to trigger the main bonus from the base game, they can access it immediately using the Buy Feature option. Available for an additional wager of 75x their selected stake, using this shortcut will instantly transport players to the pick screen, increasing their chances of landing the game’s maximum win of 12,000x.

Despite being cast in tough guy roles throughout his film career, these days Jones is better known for being an avid philanthropist with a heart of gold. With this in mind, Swintt is delighted to announce that it will be celebrating the launch of The Crown by donating a portion of the game’s future revenue to Jones’ non-profit organisation of choice – the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Charity.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “This month, Swintt is inviting players to lock and load for a daring heist on London’s best-known treasure in our ambitious new release, The Crown.
“Featuring an unforgettable performance from iconic actor, Vinnie Jones, The Crown is the first game in the Swintt catalogue to include bonuses spread across multiple base game locations. With each offering a special wild with its own unique perk, there are multiple ways for players to win big as they put together their crew and prepare to land the score of a century in the main Crown Caper feature.”

  • CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
  • College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025
Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6  will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.
“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”
“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”
”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.
Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.
“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”
More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.
CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.
CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
