Popular software provider’s latest Premium slot sees players embark on a daring descent to the planet’s core, where Free Spins and expanding symbols are waiting to be dug up

Having wandered ancient coliseums in Treasures of Rome and explored the pyramids in Cleopatras Pearls, there aren’t many places that SwinttPremium slots haven’t already visited; and that’s why this month, they’re diving beneath the planet’s surface in Heart of Earth Deluxe.

A five-reel, five-payline game with medium volatility, Heart of Earth Deluxe sees players join a Steampunk-style captain aboard his drill ship as he makes a daring descent towards the globe’s core. Along the way, they’ll encounter subterranean sculptures, complex-looking compasses, and a host of other unique icons, with all these lining up alongside the classic ace-through-jack playing card values.

As is often the case in SwinttPremium slots, the key to uncovering Heart of Earth Deluxe’s greatest treasures is the game’s substitute wild, which also acts as a bonus-triggering scatter symbol. Whenever three or more of these special icons appear anywhere on the reels, players will be whisked even deeper beneath the surface to a new screen, where a molten core will spin to reveal a random mystery symbol.

They’ll then be granted 10 Free Spins initially to boost their base game winnings, with any instances of the selected icon now expanding to fill its entire reel. Not only that, but landing three more scatters will re-trigger the feature, awarding a further 10 Free Spins as an additional mystery symbol is selected.

In this manner, players can prolong the feature indefinitely and benefit from multiple mystery symbols at once. If they don’t wish to trigger the bonus manually, however, players will be pleased to know that an optional Buy Feature Games button is available that can instantly transport them to the Free Spins.

With a maximum win multiplier of 5,000x the selected stake available, players will also be able to boost their wins in Heart of Earth Deluxe’s patented Risk feature. A popular addition to the majority of SwinttPremium titles, Risk simply challenges players to correctly guess the colour of a hidden playing card to double the value of their current prize, with multiple picks available until an incorrect choice is made.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Having explored virtually every corner of the globe in our SwinttPremium series, this month we thought ‘why not delve even deeper beneath the surface?’ – and our fiery new slot, Heart of Earth Deluxe, was ultimately the result of our excavations!
“Featuring the same Free Spins with expanding mystery symbols mechanic that players know and love from other titles in our Premium line-up, Heart of Earth Deluxe is an intuitive release that offers big wins of up to 5,000x. Also boasting a Buy Feature Games button that takes players directly to the heart of the action, we’re sure it’ll prove a big hit with any intrepid explorers’ brave enough to face the heat.”

Pragmatic Play, a leading supplier to the iGaming industry, treats players to a festive version of its top-performing title with Sugar Rush Xmas.

Trading candy mountains for a snow-topped landscape, the game utilises the same 7×7 grid of the original and fills it with frosted sugary treats as the game’s icons.

Clusters of five or more are needed to secure a win, with the tumbling mechanic filling the board with a cascade of new symbols to take their place.

In addition, all winning sweets leave behind a wrapper which grows an incrementally increasing multiplier following subsequent wins in the same position, offering a maximum multiplier of 128x in a single spot.

Three or more bauble-filled scatter symbols award at least 10 free spins. During this bonus round, marked multiplier spots are held in place, allowing players to further increase the multiplier amount and boost win potential.

Offering more good tidings is the respin feature, with additional scatter symbols awarding up to 30 extra free spins.

In preparation for the holiday season, Pragmatic Play has given several of its leading titles a festive twist, including the likes of Big Bass Christmas Bash and 5 Frozen Charms Megaways.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Pragmatic Play has infused a delightful touch of festive spirit into our top-performing titles, offering players exciting gameplay fit for this time of year across their favourite games.

“Seasonal releases have proven to be a hit, driving engagement for operators around the season. In the case of Sugar Rush Xmas, we’ve retained all the beloved elements of the original title, enriching the overall experience with a festive-themed makeover for added fun.”
