Innovative mobile-first software provider invites players to take the plunge in a brand-new Premium release that boasts a Pearl Feature which can award wave after wave of prizes
Having already made waves in the industry this year after winning the EGR Global B2B Awards’ Innovation in Mobile category, Swintt are diving back into action this month to bring players even more underwater excitement in a brand-new Premium release named Lucky Mermaid.
A five-reel, 10 pay line slot, Lucky Mermaid takes place to a backdrop of coral reefs and clear blue seas. Bubbles float up from the base of the screen as the reels spin and a menagerie of marine life falls into place, with symbols including fish, turtles and the mythical creature that gives the game its name.
The Lucky Mermaid acts as the slot’s wild and can be substituted for any regular base game icon when completing winning pay lines, but players will also need to look out for special MULTI symbols as they spin. With one letter appearing on each column, landing an M, U, L, T or I icon will store it in a special bar above the reels – and once the word is completed, the rewarding Pearl Feature will be activated.
When this happens, a vibrant school of fish will dart across the screen as a free respins round begins on a new set of reels featuring only pearls. Initially players will receive three respins, but each time a pearl stops in view, it will lock in place and the counter will reset. This will continue until one of two things happens – either no new pearls appear and the respins end or the reels are completely filled.
In either case, the values displayed on each pearl symbol at the end of the feature will be added together to give players their total prize. The amount will be awarded on top of any winnings from the triggering spin and they’ll then be returned to the base game so they can start collecting letters again.
Like other games in the Swintt Premium collection, Lucky Mermaid also offers players the chance to boost their base game wins using the popular Risk Feature. Available after any winning spin, this potentially lucrative mini-game simply requires them to correctly guess the colour or suit of a hidden playing card to double or quadruple their prize respectively. Multiple Risk rounds can also be played.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “As the latest game in our popular catalogue of Premium Slots, Lucky Mermaid invites players to dive beneath the waves to seek out sunken treasures and maximum wins of up to 3,026 x their bet.
“Like other games in our Premium collection, Lucky Mermaid combines the familiar graphics and pick-up-and-play appeal of classic land-based slots with innovative bonus rounds like the exciting Pearl Feature. Easily triggerable thanks to our brand-new MULTI symbol collection mechanic, this rewarding addition can seriously boost players’ wins and raises the game’s maximum RTP to a dependable 95.05%”

The Benefits of Playing at EU Casinos
There are many EU casinos that not only attract players from Europe itself but also from countries around the world, including the US, UK, and even those from countries where online gambling isn’t permitted. So why is it that EU casinos are so popular? What drives the online gambling community to these casinos?
Well, that’s what we’re going to be looking at today. What’s so attractive about EU casinos to people who are looking for an immersive and entertaining online casino experience? Why do people in the USA, the home of Las Vegas, go outside of the USA to play at online casinos?
Benefits of EU casinos
Online gambling is by far one of the most popular methods of gambling online. Throughout Europe, specific laws in each country can vary, so access to land-based casinos can sometimes be few and far between. Thus, going online to enjoy a casino experience has become a more preferable option. And so why EU casinos? Well, for those who are joining EU casinos from outside Europe and not from the UK or the US, the English-based support and customer service are very attractive. A lot of people who play at EU casinos access it using a VPN or from a country where they don’t have any domestic online casinos, and most of the time English is their first language or one that they can understand.
The next attractive factor regarding EU online casinos is safety and security. Each online casino in the EU is strictly regulated and licensed. It’s this reassurance that a lot of players look for when choosing an online casino to go to and play at. They are held to the same strict and high standards as those of their British counterparts in the UK, which are upheld and monitored by the UK Gambling Commission. In the EU, a lot of the casinos are also regulated by either the Malta Gaming Authority or the Curacao Gaming Licence Authority. All of which share the same standards and expectations as other authorities across theglobe,e which ensures that all players playing online at EU casino websites.
The casinos that are available online in the EU are also very open to a lot of different payment methods. There are even some crypto casinos where you can play casino games online with cryptocurrency. This openness to accepting a lot of different payment methods means a lot to people who like to play at online casinos. The vast majority of them also pride themselves on providing very quick withdrawals, which are measured in hours rather than days. After all, there is nothing more frustrating than having a big win and then having to wait days to get your hard-fought winnings.
And lastly, bonuses and promotions. The vast majority of EU online casinos will have a wide range of different bonuses and promotions that you can sign up for and take advantage of. There are certain countries, such as Sweden, where the online casinos are strictly limited to one bonus or one promotion; however, the vast majority of EU casinos are not subject to such restrictions and offer a great online casino experience.
When it comes to the popularity of EU online casinos, it is growing year on year. There is plenty going in their favour and more people than ever before are shifting to online casinos rather than having to go down to the casino themselves. The fact that they can access these EU casinos from their smartphones, wherever they are, means it’s easier than ever before to win big at a casino online and have a good time.

William Hill Announced as Official Betting Partner of Qipco Guineas Festival
Leading bookmaker becomes official betting partner of first UK Classic meeting of 2024
William Hill has been announced as the new official betting partner of the Qipco Guineas Festival, the first UK Classic meeting of the season.
It’s the latest addition to William Hill’s spring racing roster, following sponsorship of The Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster, the Punchestown Champion Chase and its status as official betting partner of the Randox Grand National Festival.
The 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas headline the three-day meeting and the leading bookmaker will sponsor 15 races across the weekend with the Jockey Club Stakes, Palace House and Dahlia Stakes among the races now featuring the William Hill title.
Aidan O’Brien’s unbeaten superstar City of Troy is still all the rage for the 2,000 Guineas at 4/6 whereas Karl Burke’s Fallen Angel heads a competitive looking 1,000 Guineas market at 7/2.
“We’re delighted to become the official betting partner of the Qipco Guineas Festival, strengthening our relationship with The Jockey Club on the back of a fantastic Grand National Festival,” a spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said. “It’s brilliant for William Hill to be associated directly with such a prestigious event at Newmarket, the home of the thoroughbred, for this season’s first two Classics. The company has a close connection with the history of the 2,000 Guineas as William Hill himself bred the 1949 winner, Nimbus, who then went on to win the Derby.
“We’re excited to be involved at racing’s key meetings and see the Qipco Guineas Festival as the perfect sponsorship as the British flat season kicks into gear.”
