Sought-after software provider teams up with leading online casino and sports betting brand to expand its presence in global markets

Swintt, the EGR award-winning software provider famed for its immersive slots and signature bonus features, has announced it has reached an agreement with popular online casino brand, Superbet, to bring its full catalogue of releases to players within global markets.

As a result of the deal, not only will Superbet customers have access to Swintt’s much-loved collection of Premium games and Select slots, but also titles in the new Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt range, which debuted following the company’s acquisition of the studio earlier this year.

While the first title in this exciting new line-up – Tipsy Charms – has already launched to record-breaking effect, of particular appeal to players at Superbet will be the recently released game, Law of Gilgamesh, which is undoubtedly one the studio’s most ambitious projects to date.

Featuring cluster pays and an engaging cascading reels mechanic which can lead to multiple wins on every game round, Law of Gilgamesh is a new state-of-the-art slot adventure based on the exploits of the legendary Sumerian king that also boasts a plethora of engaging bonus rounds.

For starters, players will be able to take advantage of three base-game modifiers in which Gilgamesh, the warrior Enkidu and the goddess Isthar unleash their powers on the reels, and they can also collect scatters to activate free spins or climb to massive multipliers in the Tower Bonus.

As such the game promises to be a hugely popular addition to Superbet’s slot line-up, but with more than 120 other top Swintt titles now also available, there’ll certainly be something for everyone as this latest collaboration further raises the profile of the provider.

Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “Having a strong online presence is obviously hugely important to Swintt – and teaming up with a big brand like Superbet will certainly help us achieve this ambition.

“On the back of this collaboration, not only will Superbet customers gain access to our stunning catalogue of SwinttPremium and SwinttSelect slots, but they can also look forward to exciting releases from Elysium Studios such as Law of Gilgamesh.

Nicholas Yu, Head of Commercial at Superbet, said: “At Superbet we’ve always prided ourselves on providing the best of the best when it comes to online casino entertainment and being able to add Swintt’s full catalogue of titles to our line-up will definitely ensure our players aren’t left wanting.

“Offering classically-themed Premium games and state-of-the-art Select slots, the provider has something for everyone and we’re especially excited to see how new releases from the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt range like Law of Gilgamesh are received by the Superbet community.”
