Swintt prepares to spin up a Pharaoh’s fortune in Egypt King 2
Sought-after software provider’s latest Premium release offers players the chance to plunder the pyramids to win mystery prizes and lucrative Pearl Feature free spins
This month, popular software studio Swintt is inviting players to join them on an action-packed adventure to the land of the pyramids in Egypt King 2 – an all-new Premium game that can potentially provide a pharaoh’s fortune in wins with its mystery prize feature and Pearl free spins.
Being a SwinttPremium release, the new game boasts all the familiar graphics and sounds of a land-based slot, with ace-through-jack playing card symbols being joined on the reels by golden sarcophagi, ancient scrolls and plucky adventurers. Additionally, the slot uses a special pyramid wild symbol that will not only substitute for any regular icon, but also expands to fill its reel if a payline win can be made.
On top of these standard-issue symbols, Egypt King 2 also offers two additional scatters that can be used to trigger a pair of rewarding bonus features. The first is a purple-bordered diamond that appears only one reels one, three and five – and should three of these icons land at once, players will get to pick one of three mystery prizes to receive an instant multiplier of 30x, 60x or 100x their current stake.
The second meanwhile, is the omni-present Pearl scatter found in many of the studio’s more recent Premium titles. Whenever six of these symbols appear during any base game spin, players will whisk away to a brand-new set of reels where they’ll initially be rewarded with three complimentary free spins.
For each turn that occurs during the Pearl Feature, the free spins counter will reduce by one, but should a subsequent pearl symbol stop in view, it will reset to the starting amount. This process can, of course, continue indefinitely until either no new pearl symbols appear or all 15-reel sections have been filled.
In either case, the cash values displayed on all visible pearls will then be added together and awarded as a bonus prize, but should players successfully fill all five reels, an additional 2x multiplier will be awarded for a full table win. Not only that, but during their free spins, players can also encounter special jackpot pearls that are linked to four local prize pools – namely the Minor, Major, Maxi and Mega pots.
If three matching jackpot pearls appear during the free spins, players will receive the corresponding jackpot amount in addition to their regular prizes – and should they not wish to play for the free spins in the base game, they can also access the bonus directly using the optional Buy Feature Games button.
To give players one final chance to win like an Egyptian, any prizes collected during the base game or the bonus rounds can also be gambled in Swintt’s popular Risk feature. Here, players will be tasked with correctly guessing the colour of a hidden playing card to potentially multiply their total win by 2x.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “As Swintt has expanded throughout Europe over the past few months, we’ve seen an uptick in the popularity of our SwinttPremium games – particularly in Germany and the Netherlands, where our Pearl Feature has already established itself as a huge hit.
“In light of this we wanted to improve on our winning formula in Egypt King 2, which not only grants players access to four rewarding local jackpots, but also includes an additional 2x multiplier if they’re lucky enough to fill all 15-reel spaces with pearls. As such, we expect the slot to be a popular addition to our Premium range and we can’t wait to hear players’ response when it goes live later this month.”

FBM Foundation helps Rio Grande do Sul communities with substantial donation from FBM Brazil
In a heartfelt display of solidarity, the FBM Foundation has announced a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to humanitarian causes through FBM Brazil’s support.
A generous donation of 500 grocery baskets, 500 personal hygiene kits, and 9,000 liters of water will be delivered and distributed to struggling communities in Rio Grande, Brazil. This effort will be carried out in partnership with Central Única das Favelas (CUFA) in Porto Alegre, with J&T Express Brazil and Correios Sedex Brasil providing transportation.
The most recent and devastating Rio Grande natural disasters, that provoked floods, landslides, and extreme weather events, have left communities grappling with immense challenges, from widespread displacement to the destruction of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods.
Given the context of these calamities and the urgent need to assist these families, FBM Foundation’s donation emerged as a powerful alliance dedicated to promoting positive change in communities worldwide. With FBM Brazil’s substantial contribution, the organisation aims to make an impact in supporting these communities.
Beyond financial assistance, FBM Foundation recognizes the power of awareness and advocacy in driving meaningful change. Through strategic communication efforts, the organisation aims to raise awareness for additional support from like-minded individuals and organizations.
At the heart of this donation lies a shared vision of creating a brighter, more inclusive world for all. By supporting Rio Grande do Sul, FBM Foundation reaffirms its commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
“As a foundation deeply rooted in Brazilian heritage, FBM Foundation takes pride in its origins and the rich cultural background of Brazil. We have a legacy shaped by the spirit of proximity, compassion, and innovation, so we want to honour its Brazilian roots while embracing a global perspective in its solidarity endeavours”, shares Renato Almeida, Director at the FBM Group.
As we continue this journey of solidarity, FBM Foundation invites individuals and entities alike to join hands in creating a brighter future for all. Through collective actions, we can uplift communities, inspire change, and leave a lasting impact on the world.
