Swintt journeys back through the sands of time in Egypt King Book Hunt
Calling all treasure hunters, thrill seekers and intrepid explorers with a thirst for the unknown – this month, popular premium casino software provider, Swintt, is inviting you back on an epic journey through the sands of time in its action-packed slot, Egypt King Book Hunt.
Set to a backdrop of a long-forgotten temple where mystic relics abound, Egypt King Book Hunt is the third instalment of the popular SwinttPremium series and this time combines simple gameplay and classic graphics and sound with the studio’s much-loved “Book” free spins feature.
Activated whenever three or more of the iconic ‘Book’ symbols appear anywhere on the reels, players will first be prompted to leaf through the pages of an ancient tome until one icon is chosen at random to be the game’s lucky symbol, after which a series of 10 free spins will get underway.
During these bonus games, any instances of the lucky symbol that complete a payline will expand to fill their entire reel – and what’s more, payouts will be awarded for all winning combos regardless of whether the symbols are adjacent or not. On top of that, further free spins can be won for landing additional book symbols and players can even opt to buy into the feature directly.
With Egypt King Book Hunt being available to play with 5 or 10 fixed paylines, players will be able to customise their experience to the level of variance that they’re most comfortable with and they’ll also have the chance to try and double any winnings they collect in an optional risk feature.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “The fact that the pyramids have stood for thousands of years is testament to them being a design classic – and we feel our Premium slots fall into much the same category! Combining iconic graphics and sound, intuitive gameplay and popular ‘Book’ free spins, we’re sure Egypt King Book Hunt will be a great addition.”

MrQ’s affordability and AML check completion rate soars to 55% with ClearStake integration
MrQ.com, the UK’s fastest growing online casino, has seen a dramatic increase in the number of players willing to submit financial data for affordability and source of funds checks after implementing ClearStake’s industry tailored smart financial data request solution.
Through the integration of ClearStake, MrQ enables its players to quickly, easily and securely share data via their banking app in under 30 seconds, rather than having to manually supply physical documents.
55% of MrQ’s players are now seamlessly submitting their financial data, laying rest to the long-held market belief that players are unwilling or unable to share the financial data required for affordability and AML checks.
The adoption of ClearStake was part of a larger review by MrQ of its processes, designed to solve issues surrounding the cumbersome process of manually requesting and analysing documents which had historically seen poor uptake from players.
ClearStake has also enabled MrQ to reduce affordability and AML case review times by 46% through seamless follow up requests and reliable data verified directly from the bank, in contrast to requesting physical documents which are prone to fraud, error and unreliable OCR extraction.
MrQ’s remarkable results will no doubt give comfort to other operators who need to navigate the challenges of an increasing number of checks as the UKGC sets to fulfil the recommendations of the white paper.
Savvas Fellas, Founder & CEO at MrQ.com, said: “At MrQ.com we are committed to our mission of offering ‘value-entertainment’. In today’s regulatory landscape this goes hand-in-hand with the security and wellbeing of our players without negatively impacting their entertainment experience or worse, discouraging them to seek their entertainment from within the regulated space.
“We are constantly looking into new ways of navigating our regulatory obligations by embracing new and up and coming technology services. We share ClearStake’s vision on the utilisation of open banking technology and leveraging this to keep our learning curve ahead of those around us.
“ClearStake offers MrQ a strong route towards achieving seamless affordability and AML checks. ClearStake’s feature-rich platform, player-centric design and speed of integration made them the clear supplier of choice, and we look forward to furthering the capability of the technology around thresholds like Standard Due Diligence and our Enhanced Due Diligence checks.”
Martin Burt, Founder of ClearStake, said: “We are delighted to be working with such a forward-thinking market leader who share our vision of how new technology can transform an industry.
“This partnership with MrQ demonstrates that ClearStake’s technology is trusted by the industry’s leading brands and is a fantastic testament to the strength of our product.
“We are thrilled with the results to date which unequivocally demonstrate players’ willingness to share data when required. Furthermore, we are excited by the opportunity to fully automate once resource intensive compliance processes and continuing to delight both players and operators alike.”
