Swintt uncovers the treasures of the Nile in Cleopatras Pearls

Innovative software provider’s latest Premium release invites players to come and spin up a pharaoh’s fortune with the help of big money free spins connected to four local jackpots

This month, hotshot software developer, Swintt, is asking players to spin like an Egyptian in their latest Premium release, Cleopatras Pearls – a brand-new, pharaoh-themed slot that sees the welcome return of the studio’s popular Pearl feature and four signature jackpots.

Being a Premium title, Cleopatras Pearls again features the familiar sounds and gameplay mechanics players will recognise from classic slot machines; though the game’s graphics have certainly been given a new lick of paint, with action taking place in front of an atmospheric hieroglyphic-strewn background.

Though players will notice the appearance of iconic ace-through-ten playing card values at the lower end of the paytable, unique symbols to feature across Cleopatras Pearls’ five reels and 50 fixed paylines include shields, sarcophagi, statues of Horus and Cleopatra herself – though the one icon they’ll really need to look out for is the golden pearl, which is key to triggering the slot’s titular bonus.

Should six or more of these lucky symbols appear anywhere during a single spin, players will be whisked away to a new 5×3 set of reels where only the triggering pearls are displayed. Initially, each of these symbols will spin to reveal a cash prize and players will receive a starting set of three free spins.

During the feature, each new round will reduce the free spin counter by one, but should a new pearl symbol appear, it will be reset to its starting level. Action will continue in this manner until either all available reel spaces are filled or the counter reaches zero, but there are many more surprises in store.

Rather than a prize value, certain pearl symbols will instead display a bonus modifier, with these dramatically upgrading how the feature is played. Available modifiers include arrows that add an extra row to the feature gameboard, plus icons which increase players’ maximum number of free spins by one, dollar symbols which boost the value of up to five pearls, multipliers which double all prizes and a moneybag, which will add together the value of all currently-won pearls to create an additional prize.

Not only that, but the dollar and moneybag pearls are also available in VIP versions – which mean they award their modifier not just once, but after each and every spin – and players may also be lucky enough to stumble upon a special chest icon. When this happens, a countdown of ten will be displayed to indicate the number of spins needed before the chest will open; and once this number reaches zero, players will randomly receive a Minor, Major, Maxi or Mega Pot.

With all that huge prize potential up for grabs in the Pearl spin feature, it’s understandable players might not want to wait to trigger the bonus during the base game – so luckily for them, Cleopatras Pearls also boasts a Buy Feature Games button so they can jump into the action whenever they please.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Since its debut, Swintt’s Pearl feature has been a popular addition to our SwinttPremium range of slots – and we’ve been constantly refining the bonus with each new release to the point that it now includes all manner of highly-rewarding extras.
“This is certainly the case in our exciting new Egyptian-themed release, Cleopatras Pearls, where players will now have access to boosters, multipliers and summarisers which can all increase their standard payouts, as well as four special jackpot prizes to boost winnings to a maximum of 3,000 x the bet!”

Independent evaluation highlights impact of Ygam’s parent programme

An independent evaluation has provided compelling evidence that Ygam’s work is effectively equipping families with the tools and knowledge to safeguard children from gaming and gambling harms.

The evaluation report, conducted by Sherbert Research, examined Ygam’s programme tailored for parents and carers, which includes online workshops, resources, and the Family Hub website.

The evaluation, assessed against Ygam’s comprehensive Theory of Change, found ‘strong evidence across all groups’ of increased understanding of gaming and gambling harms and their impact on behaviour change and the wellbeing of children and young people. It also highlighted that parents regard Ygam as a trusted source of support and information on these subjects.

After attending a Ygam workshop, parents expressed a deeper understanding of their role in supporting children and young people on these issues. The workshops were credited with reducing stigma around gaming and gambling harms and encouraging greater engagement from families. Many parents reported proactively understanding the risks and feeling empowered to start conversations with their children about gaming and gambling, putting boundaries in place before harm occurs.

While parents and professionals are increasingly aware of the risks associated with gaming, fewer recognise children’s potential exposure to gambling and gambling-like features, along with the related harms. The report reinforces that Ygam’s work plays a vital role in closing this critical knowledge gap through awareness raising, offering effective safeguarding tools, and providing the guidance and support required to create a safer digital home environment.

The programme was also commended for shifting perceptions around video gaming and microtransactions. They described taking immediate proactive steps such as adjusting screen time, understanding app spending, and setting clearer rules around their child’s online habits.

One parent who took part in the evaluation said: “After the session, I checked my son’s gaming account and realised he had spent over £200 on in-game purchases. We talked about it, and I’ve now set up parental controls.”

The high quality and standard of Ygam’s educational content was also praised by parents, with many describing it as ‘one of the best’ workshops they had attended for addressing a topical and complex issue, and for delivering accessible knowledge that supports real-life action.

Another parent said: ” A friend mentioned Ygam after I shared concerns about my son’s gaming habits. She had been on the course and said it had really helped her understand how to manage screen time”.

Claire Patel, Programme Lead for the Parents and Carers programme at Ygam, said: “We welcome the findings of this evaluation, which highlight the widespread and meaningful difference our programme is making for families. Parents and carers know their children better than anyone, and they have a crucial role to play – but they consistently tell us they often feel under-informed in today’s fast-moving digital world. We remain committed to listening to families and providing the information and tools they need to promote healthy habits and safeguard their children from potential harms.”

The evaluation was informed by interviews and video diaries from parents, foster carers, and professionals who attended Ygam workshops between 2023 and 2024.

All recommendations for improvement will be incorporated into the ongoing review and development of Ygam’s programmes to ensure they remain as effective and impactful as possible.
