Former Yggdrasil executive and product specialist brings his wealth of experience and knowledge to the fast-growing online slot developer

Swintt, the developer of chart-topping online slots that include titles such as Book of the East and Rock n Ways XtraWays™, and live casino content distributor, has added serious firepower to its senior management team after appointing Per Hedén as Chief Product Officer.

Hedén has more than ten years’ experience in senior management roles with responsibility for product as well as IT and marketing. He has worked across a wide range of sectors including healthtech, ecommerce and data management, as well as online gambling.

His experience in the iGaming sector includes a two-year stint as Chief Product Officer at Yggdrasil Gaming and a period as a Senior Strategy Consultant at GAN. He first joined Swintt in October 2021 in a similar consulting role but has now been appointed to the full-time position of CPO.

Hedéns main responsibilities include developing ways to improve the player experience across the future games to leave Swintt’s production line. He has also been tasked with building out the product team with more top talent and to optimise product processes.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “I am delighted to announce Per as our Chief Product Officer and for Swintt to continue to benefit from his unrivalled experience, knowledge and passion as we look to take our games to the next level, grow our product team and streamline our internal processes.

“Per has been working with Swintt for several months and has already made an impact on our games and the experience our slots and live casino titles provide players. As CPO, he will continue to influence the direction in which we take to game development and how we elevate the player experience.”

Per Hedén, Chief Product Officer at Swintt, added: “I am delighted to be joining Swintt at such a pivotal stage in its growth journey and having recently been crowned Rising Star in Casino Innovation and Software at the SBC Awards.

“I am looking forward to working closely with the talented team to create the best player experience possible while also driving Swintt into becoming a tier one developer that also leads the change for sustainability across the industry and, indeed, globally.”

eGaming Integrity has been named Independent Online Gambling Assurance Provider of the Year 2026 at the UK Enterprise Awards, organised by SME News. The company is based in the Isle of Man and works with operators in regulated online gambling markets.

According to the company, the award recognises its assurance work aimed at helping gambling operators evaluate whether their compliance processes are prepared for regulated market requirements, as regulatory expectations increase around compliance standards and customer protection.

eGaming Integrity said its internal audit reviews assess how gambling businesses operate in practice, including whether procedures and controls meet standards expected by regulators. The company added that the process is designed to help operators identify where controls are effective and where improvements may be needed before issues emerge.

Emma Shilling, Director at eGaming Integrity, said,

“This award recognises the reason eGaming Integrity was created. Responsible operators want to know where they stand before problems appear, and independent assurance provides that outside perspective.

“Our team has seen regulation from both sides, which helps us understand where processes can break down and how operators can make practical improvements.”

Speaking on the accomplishments of the 2026 winners, Laura O’Carroll, Awards Manager, said,

“The announcement of our UK Enterprise Awards is perhaps one of our most anticipated milestones every year, and the 2026 launch is no different. We are truly pleased to deliver our digital magazine and winners list, showcasing such excellence, to our readers again this year. Atop this, to our winners, and from our team to yours, we wish you all a sincere congratulations on your success in this year’s programme.”

Booming Games has launched Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter, a new online slot released on 16 July 2026 from the supplier’s Malta base. The title is the second game in its Max Scatter series and uses a 6×4 grid with Scatter Pays, cascading wins and a stated maximum win potential of 15,000x.

The game pays when eight or more of the same symbol land. Winning symbols are removed and remaining symbols cascade down, with new symbols dropping in until no further wins are formed.

Free Spins are triggered by landing four or more Scatter symbols, including Scatters and Max Scatters, awarding 10 Free Spins. During the bonus, Random Multipliers can appear with values from 2x to 100x and remain active until the cascade sequence ends, after which multiplier values are combined and applied to the total win. Three or more Scatter symbols during Free Spins add five additional spins, while the feature ends if the max win is awarded.

Booming Games also includes Bonus Buy options priced at 100x the bet amount and a “Super Buy Bonus” at 500x, which the company says offers multipliers from 15x to 100x. A BOOST+ option increases the bet by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter is a great example of how we’re innovating within one of our top performing franchises. By adding exciting new Max Scatter mechanics to one of our most popular slots, we are confident the game will appeal to players looking for top-quality entertainment and high-stakes gameplay.”
