Swintt teams up with Casino 777 to increase regulated market presence
In-demand software provider partners with leading Dutch operator to supply Swintt titles in Belgium and the Netherlands, with Belgium launching first.
Swintt, the rapidly-expanding software developer behind popular titles Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM and Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, has announced that it has formed a new partnership with Casino 777 that will see its full suite of games released on the Netherlands-based platform.
As a result of the new deal, both classically-themed SwinttPremium games and cutting-edge SwinttSelect releases will go live on the platform later this month, with this bumper collection of almost 150 top titles providing Casino 777 customers with an unrivalled choice of gaming options.
The provider also hinted that titles from Swintt’s latest venture – Elysium Studios – will be added later in the year, further improving the range of gaming options available to players.
With Casino 777 already offering hundreds of slots, table games, and ‘Gridders’ from other industry-leading studios, Swintt’s addition as a top-quality software provider will further elevate the operator’s reputation with Dutch and Belgian players. Belgium will be the first to experience this partnership, followed by the Netherlands.
Of all the Swintt games that will shortly be live on the platform, it’s the two aforementioned titles that are likely to attract the most attention from slot fans. The former – Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM – is an innovative Tiki-themed title in the SwinttSelect range that currently stands as the provider’s most successful release to date thanks to its exciting XtraLockTM feature and a max win of 200,500 x bet.
Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, meanwhile, is a SwinttPremium release that puts a fresh spin on the classic fruit-themed slot format. Boasting iconic graphics and sound that provide a fitting homage to traditional land-based machines, the game gives players access to Swintt’s signature Pearl feature which can potentially award one of four local jackpots for truly huge wins.
Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “The goal at Swintt has always been to have a strong presence in regulated markets – and partnering with an operator of the size of Casino 777 will enable us to raise our profile in both the Netherlands and Belgium. We’re really looking forward to working with them and can’t wait to hear what their players make of our slots.”
Jennifer Dettori, General Manager at Casino 777, is thrilled, “At Casino 777, we’re always in pursuit of the next level of entertainment, curating top-tier titles from industry-leading suppliers. Welcoming Swintt to our ever-growing portfolio is a testament to our commitment to offering unparalleled gaming experiences. With their diverse range of Premium and Select slots, we’re confident that Swintt’s innovative games will captivate and thrill our customers, taking our entertainment offerings to the next level.”
