High-flying software provider confirms it will make further in-roads in the regulated Dutch market after signing a new partnership agreement with popular Netherlands-based brand

Having acquired game certification for the Dutch market last year, sought-after software suppliers, Swintt, have announced that a wide selection of their games will soon be made available at KSA-licensed online casino operator, 711.

Having signed a new partnership deal with the popular Netherlands-based brand earlier this month, the news means that players at 711 will shortly be able to access titles from both the SwinttPremium and SwinttGames collections, as well as third-party slots released via the new SwinttStudios initiative.

With the gaming preferences of the Dutch market currently being similar to those found in neighbouring Germany, it’s perhaps the more traditional SwinttPremium releases that will hold the most appeal on the site. By bringing the popular land-based slot games to the online casinos, these titles all combine classic symbols and sounds with next-gen bonus rounds.

Among the SwinttPremium releases set to make their debut at 711, players will be able enjoy several chapters in the studio’s iconic “Book” series including Master of Books Unlimited, the wheel of fortune-style bonus round of the fruit-themed Extra Win X and the innovative Harvest Time respins feature of the recently-release Duolitos Garden, which also offers them the chance to win up to four local jackpots.

Of course, while traditional slot purists will obviously be well catered for by these engaging titles, fans of cutting edge releases will also have ample opportunity to find a new favourite courtesy of the
SwinttGames line-up. Notable additions in this exciting catalogue include Swintt’s most successful title to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLock^TM – which includes a rewarding Tiki respins feature – and the mobile game-inspired Candy Gold, which boasts a cluster pays mechanic and all manner of optional boosters.

The final Swintt additions to 711’s game library will come courtesy of their SwinttStudios programme, which enables boutique third-party software providers to develop and distribute their games via the company’s existing infrastructure. Although a relatively new initiative, this exclusive collection already offers titles from a number of up-and-coming studios, including Fine Edge Gaming, who is releasing their 720-ways-to-win Stacking Bisons slot in the Netherlands as a result of the deal.

With all this and more set to be rolled out at 711 over the coming weeks, both parties are clearly excited about the potential that the new collaboration holds and the impact it will have on the market.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “The regulated Dutch market is one that Swintt has had its eye on ever since obtaining certification for our games there last year, so we’re absolutely thrilled to now be able to offer a selection of our titles at 711. As a popular and trusted Netherlands-based brand, they’ll provide the perfect platform for us to share our games with a wide new audience.”

Gilles de Backer, Chief Operating Officer at 711, said: “Over the past few years, Swintt have proved themselves to be one of the most exciting and ambitious software developers around and we’re really excited to host their games. From classic slots to the state-of-the-art releases, there’s something for everyone in the Swintt catalogue and we’re sure their titles will prove hugely popular with our players.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Swintt – the award-winning software provider behind recent slot sensations Big Max Pot Hunter and Big Fish – has announced it has formed a new partnership with established Lithuanian betting brand, TOPsport, that will see the studio further raise its profile in the country.

With the new deal now in place, Swintt is already live with 36 Premium releases on the TOPsport platform, with these giving players access to a roster of classically-themed games that combine the design elements of traditional land-based slots with exciting mechanics and bonus features.

Established in 2002, TOPsport is Lithuania’s first and largest gambling operator, boasting a strong bricks-and-mortar presence that includes 50 casino slot saloons spread across 26 towns in addition to its online enterprise. Given the brand’s rich land-based heritage, the SwinttPremium range seems to be ideally suited for its customers, who will enjoy the slots’ familiar look and feel.

Among the Premium options now available at TOPsport.lt, players will be particularly keen to try the acclaimed Extra Win X, which adds an innovative Bonus Wheel to the iconic fruit machine format, and Max The Winner, which features a unique gathering mechanic that sees the titular cartoon squirrel appear on the reels during the bonus feature to collect acorns and award prizes.

With these just being two of the standout examples from the new collection of Swintt slots that are now available at TOPsport.lt, the brand will be able to further cement its reputation as the country’s leading operator while Swintt continues to reach more players in the Lithuanian market.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With TOPsport being Lithuania’s oldest and most-trusted betting brand, we’re delighted to be able to introduce our Premium releases to players on the platform. With all of these games offering themes and features that are inspired by traditional land-based slot machines, we’re sure they’ll prove a popular addition to their line-up.”

Linas Dargenavičius, Chief Commercial Officer at TOPsport, said: “With a diverse library of over 3,000 slot titles, TOPsport offers the most extensive selection of online casino games in Lithuania. The addition of SwinttPremium titles further strengthens our portfolio, bringing in games that resonate with players familiar with classic land-based machines. Their engaging mechanics make them a valuable extension of the experience we aim to provide.”
