Software provider’s highly-volatile Premium release is ready to set the reels ablaze with top multipliers of 1,000x and a fiery scatter feature that pays out instant-win prizes

Throw off your winter jacket and put the umbrella back in the shed – award-winning software provider Swintt is turning up the heat this April with its brand-new Winnergie slot.

The latest game in the studio’s popular range of Premium releases – a fan-favourite line-up that combines fruit machine aesthetics with the latest in cutting-edge gameplay – Winnergie is a five-reel, five-payline title that offers red hot multipliers of up 1,000x players’ stake and a fiery scatter feature.

Set to a blazing red background, this classically-designed game uses a traditional line-up of symbols that includes BARs, liberty bells and fresh fruits. The highest-value icon to feature in Winnergie is the lucky seven symbol, which triggers the game’s top multiplier whenever five appear on a valid payline.

The special icon that players need to look out for in Winnergie is the golden fireball scatter, as this is essential to triggering the game’s main bonus. Essentially, whenever players land three or more of these symbols in any position, they’ll be awarded an instant payout that increases with every scatter collected. This prize is added on top of all other payline wins, meaning huge combinations are possible.

Keeping this in mind, the beauty of Swinnt’s Winnergie slot lies in its simplicity. Players don’t have to concern themselves with scrubbing up on the ins and outs of complicated Free Spins features, but can instead enjoy an uninterrupted gaming experience that can award incredible prizes on any given spin.

Couple this with the slot’s high volatility and 11% hit rate and Winnergie is the perfect game for both seasoned slot aficionados and those who simply want to jump into the action right away. Available at stakes ranging from €0.05 per spin all the way up to €100, the game is capable of catering for players of all different bankrolls and playing styles and can also be supplied in almost 20 different languages.

Like all other Swintt slots, Winnergie is completely optimised for mobile and can be enjoyed on most major smartphone and tablet devices. The game’s simple layout, bright visuals and input-free scatter feature make it the ideal title for fans of gaming on the go, no matter where they happen to be playing.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “While Swintt is a brand that’s well-known for innovative gameplay mechanics like XtraWaysTM, XtraLockTM and XtraStreakTM, so-called “classic” slots are considered classics for a reason – namely their iconic design and intuitive, user-friendly gameplay.
“Our Premium range of games has always tried to adhere to these values, and in Winnergie, we’ve really perfected the formula. The game features iconic fruit machine symbols, a simple but rewarding scatter bonus and huge multipliers of up to 1,000x players’ stake. Combined, we think this makes Winnergie an instant classic in its own right and we’re sure the slot will prove a huge hit with players.”

GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.

In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.

Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.

In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.

GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.

Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.

“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.

“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
