Swintt brave the final frontier in Jelly Mania XtraStreak

Innovative software provider invites players to blast off to a galaxy of wins in an all-new intergalactic adventure featuring free re-spins, wilds and jelly symbols

This month, innovative software studio Swintt is boldly going where no slot provider has gone before in the Jelly Mania XtraStreakTM – a revolutionary 1×1 video slot that provides wins on every spin and a ground-breaking XtraStreakTM feature that can award top multipliers of 960x.

Set in a galaxy far, far away, Jelly Mania XtraStreakTM features a colourful cast of jelly-based lifeforms as its unique symbols. On starting their session, players will notice that the game is quite unlike anything the team at Swintt have released before, with just one giant icon filling the slot’s single reel and a special XtraStreakTM multiplier metre on the left of the screen detailing the potential pay outs.
The aim of the game is as simple as it is brilliant. No matter what alien symbol players land, they’re guaranteed to be awarded an instant pay out – with the bigger prizes being reserved for whenever the XtraStreakTM feature is activated. To do this, players just need to land the same symbol on consecutive spins, with multipliers of 2x, 5x, 20x and 100x being awarded for each step of their streak.
To make these long winning sequences easier to come by, Jelly Mania XtraStreakTM features two special symbols that can appear on any base game spin. The first is the blue star-shaped wild character, which substitutes for any regular alien symbol and always prolongs players’ current winning sequence.

The second is an orange jelly character wearing an asteroid crown. Whenever this awesome extra-terrestrial icon appears, players will instantly be awarded three re-spins, allowing them to embark on another winning streak without investing any additional credits. This special symbol will not be present during the re-spins themselves, but can be triggered again once players are returned to the base game.
The highest-value icon in Jelly Mania XtraStreakTM is the rainbow-coloured jelly holding a red and white lollipop. Whenever this rewarding symbol appears, players will win an initial prize of 3.2x their stake, with each consecutive occurrence boosting that amount as the music becomes increasingly more dramatic. After the max amount of straight wins using this symbol, players will unlock the stop multiplier of 960x their bet.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Having already introduced revolutionary new game concepts such as XtraWaysTM and XtraLockTM, we’re delighted to welcome another innovative pay out system to the Swintt family in Jelly Mania XtraStreakTM.
“This exciting 1×1 video slot is quite unlike anything the studio has released before, and we’re sure players are going to love its simple gameplay and guaranteed wins. With a top prize multiplier of 960x their bet available when the XtraStreakTM metre is completely filled, the game offers a galaxy of winning potential and should prove a big hit with players when it makes first contact later this month.”

Oddin.gg is proud to announce that it has secured a full 3-year sports betting license in Ohio, further strengthening its standing as the esports betting solutions provider with the most licenses in North America. With this latest addition, Oddin.gg now holds four US licenses—New Jersey, Colorado, West Virginia, and Ohio—and a total of five across North America, including Ontario, Canada.

The Ohio license is a strategic milestone, as the state is set to become one of the most active betting markets in the American Midwest. According to projections from the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, the state’s sports gaming market is expected to reach approximately $3.35 billion annually as it matures. By securing this license, Oddin.gg is well-positioned to support operators in tapping into this significant potential.

Obtaining the Ohio license also demonstrates Oddin.gg’s ability to meet the state’s comprehensive regulatory standards, which include arduous assessments of financial stability, operational integrity, and adherence to state laws. This achievement reinforces Oddin.gg’s reputation for compliance and reliability, enhancing its capability to deliver full-service esports betting solutions tailored to a growing market.

Ohio’s sports betting legislation imposes a 10% tax on sports gaming receipts, contributing to public education and initiatives supporting veterans in the state. Oddin.gg’s entry into this regulated environment reinforces its role as a leader in shaping the future of esports betting in the US while offering operators a pathway to engage with a new generation of bettors in a secure and exciting way.
