Swintt explores the wonders of the ancient world in Treasures of Rome
Hot-shot software provider’s latest Premium release sees players assemble a legion of legendary wins by drawing on the power of three thrilling Mystery Diamond features
This month, sought-after software providers, Swintt, is inviting players to join them on a journey back in time to the golden age of prosperity in Treasures of Rome – a brand-new Premium release where a trio of Mystery Diamond bonus features can help them to truly colossal wins.
Featuring five reels and 30 fixed paylines in its base game, Treasures of Rome transports players back to the heart of the ancient empire as they set their sights on maximum wins of up to 450x their stake. Alongside traditional ace-through-jack card values, unique symbols to appear on the reels include Roman nobles, harps and vases, with an imposing coliseum acting as the slot’s bonus-triggering scatter.
While they spin, players will also notice diamonds whizzing by on reels two and four. Should one of these special icons land in view during the base game, it will add up to three coloured diamonds to the metres on the left of the game board, with these in turn triggering one of three thrilling bonus features.
In each case, players will receive a free respin as one of the following lucrative modifiers is activated. Collecting three red diamonds will cause the reels to expand, doubling the number of rows and increasing the game’s total pay lines from 30 to 75, three purple diamonds will see all wilds boosted by a 2x multiplier, while three green diamonds will randomly add between 5 and 10 wilds to the reels.
The Mystery Diamond modifiers become even more prominent during Treasures of Rome’s main free spins feature, which is triggered whenever three or more coliseum scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. When this happens, players will be awarded between 8 and 12 free spins, but now any diamonds that land will not only instantly trigger at least one bonus, but also award an additional spin.
As each symbol can still potentially award three coloured diamonds, it’s therefore much easier for players to enjoy their next respin with all three modifiers activated, creating potentially huge combination wins. Not only that, but the extra free spins that they receive can prolong the feature indefinitely, further increasing the chance of them walking off with the wealth of an empire at the end.
With Treasures of Rome being a SwinttPremium release, players will also be delighted to discover that they can boost their base game wins with the help of the studio’s signature Risk feature. Available after each successful spin, this optional extra simply requires players to correctly guess the colour of a face-down playing card to double their prize, after which they can collect their winnings or carry on picking.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “They say that Rome wasn’t built in a day – but in Swintt’s new Treasures of Rome slot, colossal wins can certainly be built in a single spin thanks to the presence of three Mystery Diamond features that can combine to create some truly epic payouts.
“As an exciting addition to our popular SwinttPremium line-up, Treasures of Rome features the iconic visuals and simple gameplay that have made the series such a success, but the inclusion of expanding reels, 2x multipliers and random wilds gives the slot a modern edge that new players will really enjoy.”

The Lithuanian Gaming Control Authority (LPT) has completed its inspection: Olympic Casino has been fined almost 8.4 million euros
The company Olympic Casino Group Baltija (OCGB) did not take sufficient steps to identify the origin of Šarūnas Stepukonis’ losing funds, and the monitoring of his financial transactions was only formal and ineffective. Such violations were identified by the Gaming Supervisory Authority, which conducted an inspection of OCGB’s activities in Lithuania. The company was fined almost 8.4 million euros.
The Gaming Supervisory Authority (LPT) investigated the actions taken by OCGB in response to Š. Stepukonis’ transactions on the company’s gaming website from December 2016 to the end of June 2021. The law obliges gaming operators to ensure that customer funds are not obtained from criminal activities or through participation in such activities. It is also mandatory to verify the origin of the funds. LPT found that the measures applied by OCGB were poor and insufficient, and the monitoring of Š. Stepukonis’ transactions was formal.
Gambling organizers must report suspicious transactions to the FNTT. Š. Stepukonis’ transactions had obvious signs that should have raised suspicions for the gambling organizer. However, the FNTT was not informed about this.
During the inspection, evidence was also collected that Š. Stepukonis’ gambling was irresponsible. The gambling company should have noticed this, especially since the client was assigned a personal manager who saw all of his transactions.
“Instead of finding out whether Š. Stepukonis had a gambling problem or informing the supervisory authority, Olympic Casino encouraged him to gamble even more. An individual incentive package was prepared for him. A total of 1.3 million euros was allocated for this. This “bonus” could only be spent on gambling. Other incentives were also allocated,” – comments on the results of the inspection by LPT Director Virginijus Daukšys.
Since mid-2021, gambling companies in Lithuania have no longer been allowed to offer incentives to their customers that they would later lose. Just before this tightening came into effect, Š. Stepukonis’ virtual gambling was moved from Lithuania to Estonia, where it was still allowed to encourage gamblers.
In this way, it was possible not only to maintain incentives for gambling, but also to avoid supervision by the LPT. If an ordinary gambler from Lithuania tried to go and register on the Estonian Olympic Casino website, he would be redirected to the Lithuanian website. However, in the case of Š. Stepukonis, the redirection was not carried out. These circumstances are part of the pre-trial investigation.
During the inspection, a total of five violations of the provisions of the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism and the Law on Gambling were identified.
The law allows for a fine of up to twice the amount of damage caused. The damage was determined to be 6.4 million euros – the amount Š. Stepukonis lost at the Olympic Casino in Lithuania. When calculating the fine, an aggravating circumstance was taken into account – the company did not cooperate during the inspection.
According to V. Daukšys, after this story came to light, steps were taken to prevent similar cases from recurring. The most important change is the law, proposed by the LPT, which obliges gambling companies to take action upon noticing irresponsible gambling and to provide information about it to the LPT.
“Until now, there was no such obligation. Therefore, the LPT did not have information that would allow it to take preventive actions in advance,” says V. Daukšys.
The new Gambling Law will come into force in November this year. Its aim is to reduce the accessibility, attractiveness and potential harm to personal health of gambling.
LPT also reviewed its procedures, adjusted internal procedures, allowing for more frequent scheduled inspections of the activities of gambling companies. In addition, the Ministry of Finance conducted an audit of LPT’s activities. No significant operational deficiencies were identified during the audit. LPT took into account the audit recommendations and allocated more human resources to money laundering prevention functions.
