In-demand software provider’s latest SwinttPremium release sees players plunge into an exciting fruit-filled adventure where pearl and pot features provide seriously big wins

Swintt, the innovative software provider behind popular Premium releases Win-O-Rama XL and Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, has unveiled another addition to its successful “Big Max” series of games in Big Max Pot Hunter – an all-new fruit-themed adventure packed with pearl and pot features.

Like the majority of titles in the SwinttPremium range, Big Max Pot Hunter draws its inspiration from the classic video slot machines that players know and love from land-based casinos around the world. The game features an instantly-recognisable line-up of fruits, BARs and lucky red sevens among its base game icons, with retro sound effects and fiery win animations adding to the slot’s iconic appeal.

Where Big Max Pot Hunter stands out from other games in the series, however, is the inclusion of sticky pearl wild symbols. As well as substituting for any regular base game symbol to create additional winning paylines, these special icons play an important dual role in triggering both of Big Max Pot Hunter’s main bonus features, while also remaining on the reels for a minimum duration of three spins.

Players will notice that each red or blue sticky pearl wild symbol that appears on the game’s central three reels will be surrounded by three distinct bars. After each new spin, one of these bars will be removed and added to the corresponding coloured pot on the left or right of the reels, with the pearl symbol remaining in place until all bars are removed. However, should an additional sticky pearl wild appear during this countdown, the three bars will reset, allowing the icon to remain for even longer.

Any bar added to the red or blue chests beside the reels can potentially trigger the corresponding “pot” feature, with this transporting players to a new 5×3 grid where they’ll have to click pearls until they uncover three matching jackpot symbols. For the blue pot feature, players will have access to the Minor, Major and Maxi jackpots, while for the red feature they can also play for the 1,000x Mega Pot.

The other advantage of having these sticky pearl wilds remain in place is that they also count towards triggering Big Max Pot Hunter’s “pearl” feature. Already a popular bonus found in several other SwinttPremium releases, this fun mini-game transports players to a new set of reels where only pearls containing cash values are present as they’re awarded an initial three re-spins to start building a prize.

Each time a pearl symbol appears, the free spins counter will reset, and players can keep on going until they either run out of free spins or all 15 reel spaces have been filled, at which point they’ll automatically receive the Mega Pot bonus in addition to any accumulated winnings. On top of that, should they fill an entire column with pearl symbols, a random reel will be selected and all icons on that reel will be boosted by a random prize multiplier.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “While our SwinttPremium games are already incredibly popular with new and existing players alike, we’re constantly trying to refine this winning formula with each new release by adding ever-more engaging bonus rounds and bigger jackpot prizes.

“With this in mind, we’re very excited to now be able to unveil our new Big Max Pot Hunter slot, which takes our classic ‘pearl’ bonus feature to the next level by adding a multiplier spin to all completed columns and also gives players the chance to trigger random ‘pot’ prizes after each base game spin.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
