Swintt makes a sparkling start to 2024 in Big Max Diamonds and Wilds
Sought-after software provider’s latest Premium release dazzles players with a trio of rewarding respin features, including multipliers, random wilds and magical Mega Reels
Having seriously upgraded its exciting catalogue of Premium releases throughout 2023, popular software provider, Swintt, is seeking to maintain that momentum going into the New Year as it prepares to dazzle players with its sparkling new slot, Big Max Diamonds and Wilds.
Being both a SwinttPremium game and a new entry into the “Big Max” series of slots, players will find plenty of familiar features and design elements spread across the five reels and 30 fixed paylines of Big Max Diamonds and Wilds. For starters, the game’s symbols are comprised entirely of fruit symbols and lucky sevens, with substitute wild symbols that expand to fill their reels.
Where Big Max Diamonds and Wilds differs from many other classic slots, however, is in the trio of rewarding respin features that have been packed into the base game. As players spin, they’ll notice that special diamond icons appear on reels two and four – and should one of these stop in view, it will randomly add up to three coloured diamonds to the corresponding totems on the left side of the reels.
Whenever one of the totems is filled with three diamonds of the same colour, one of three rewarding extras will be activated. Collecting three red diamonds will trigger a Mega Reels respin, adding three rows to the gameboard and increasing the total number of paylines to 75. Three blue diamonds, meanwhile, will ensure any wilds that land in the subsequent respin benefit from a 2x multiplier. Finally, collecting three green diamonds will randomly add 5-10 wilds to the reels for the next respin.
As if those three features alone didn’t already add enough glitz and glamour to proceedings, Big Max Diamonds and Wilds also boasts a further free spins feature that can be activated by landing three or more scatters in any position. Doing so will award 8-12 free games, with any diamonds collected during the feature now providing a further free spin while also counting toward their respective respin bonus.
Of course, being a SwinttPremium title, players are also free to gamble any winnings they’ve made in the base game or free spins in the studio’s popular Risk feature. Available after any winning spin, Risk challenges them to correctly guess the colour of a hidden playing card to double their current prize, with multiple picks available until either an incorrect choice is made, or the maximum win is achieved.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With SwinttPremium releases proving incredibly popular with players all over the globe, we’ve gone to great lengths to expand the catalogue of titles that we offer over the past few months – and our first release of 2024 sees us pick up right where we left off by adding another exciting Premium game to our collection in Big Max Diamonds and Wilds.
“Featuring many of the staple sounds and design elements that Swintt players will already know and love from the series, this dazzling new addition to the “Big Max” line-up boasts a trio of rewarding respin features offering everything from expanding reels to multiplier wilds. Couple that with free spins and an optional Risk feature that lets them push their luck for even greater rewards and we’re certain the game will go on to be a big hit this month.”

We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”
Paul Witten, Managing Director at SIS, added: “We are passionate about delivering a greyhound racing service that benefits all of the sport’s stakeholders. Together with Premier Greyhound Raxing, we have introduced a revised racing schedule that benefits operators and their customers.
“Our approach to greyhound racing is grounded in sustainability and flexibility. This collaboration with fellow service providers allows everyone to enjoy all the high-quality action produced on a daily basis from tracks across the UK and Ireland.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots.
Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.
At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.
Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins.
Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
