Swintt games launch on LuckyDays brands

Sought-after software provider announces new partnership deal that will see its full suite of slots go live at leading Lucky7 brands including LuckyDays.se
Having steadily expanded its presence in regulated markets in recent months, in-demand software provider, Swintt, has announced it has made further in-roads into Scandinavia and Ontario after signing a new partnership deal with licensed network, Lucky7.
Operating a wide range of high-profile online casino brands, Lucky7 has a strong presence not only in Scandinavia, where it runs platforms like LuckyDays.se and LuckyDays.com/fi – but also in Ontario, further expanding its global footprint. Through this new deal, all platforms in the Lucky7 portfolio will now have access to Swintt’s complete selection of state-of-the-art slots.
With this huge library of content not only including SwinttPremium and SwinttSelect games, but also titles from the recently-established Elysium Studios Driven by Swintt line, the collaboration will ensure that all Lucky7 customers can enjoy an even greater choice of quality gaming options.
While Swintt’s core product offering has already built up a strong following across Europe, it’s the Elysium Studios range of games that will likely hold the most appeal for Lucky7, given these titles have been designed specifically with modern markets like Scandinavia in mind.
Packed with innovative features and mobile-optimised mechanics, some of the games in the Elysium Studios line-up that will now go live across the Lucky7 network include I Hate Fairytales, Wild Wild North and the highly anticipated upcoming title, Pirate Pledge Hold & Win.
Scheduled to launch this March, the new game promises to be a swashbuckling adventure across the seven seas where players can harness the power of expanding wilds and special Pirate Spins to boost their base game winnings, making it an ideal choice for all fans of next generation slots.
Of course, with that merely being the tip of the iceberg in terms of the new games that will shortly be coming to Lucky7 brands, the partnership will help the company cement its position as a Scandinavian market leader while also helping Swintt get its games in front of a wider audience.
Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “Scandinavia has always been an important market for Swintt – and with our new Elysium Studios line-up, we’re even better positioned to give players in the region the type of content they want. With this in mind, the timing of this partnership with Lucky7 is perfect, as it will not only help us put our titles in front of a wider audience but also allow the network to offer an even stronger range of modern gaming options.”
Klara Sedlarikova, Casino Manager at Lucky7, said: “As a brand with a strong focus on regulated markets, it’s important for Lucky7 to constantly stay on top of evolving tastes and preferences of our customers. By adding Swintt titles to our network we’ll be able to offer our players an even wider choice of quality content, all of which has been designed with this modern, tech-savvy audience in mind.”
