Swintt joins forces with Jokerstar to strengthen German market presence
In-demand software provider teams up with leading online casino platform to bring full line-up of Premium and Select releases to German customers
Having already seen its Premium game line-up enjoy great success with players in the German market, Swintt has announced that it will be stepping up its efforts in the country after signing a new content partnership deal with leading online casino platform Jokerstar.
As part of the collaboration, the award-winning studio will now make its full selection of Premium and Select slots available to customers at Jokerstar, giving them access to titles that offer the allure and instant-play appeal of land-based casino classics as well as modern video slots with engaging features.
Of course, it’s the former category that arguably holds the most appeal in the German market, with many casino players in the country seeking out the thrills of their favourite land-based titles online. The Swintt Premium line-up is well-positioned for this demographic, as it combines the iconic aesthetics and sounds of classic slot machines with a selection of fun and easy-to-access bonus rounds. Jokerstar already has the Premium games in their gaming halls in Germany so it’s a natural progression to have them online as well.
Some of the popular releases from the Swintt Premium range that will now be available on Jokerstar include entries in the studio’s iconic “Book” series, Master of Books Unlimited and Seven Books Unlimited, both of which offer re-triggerable Free Spins that benefit from expanding mystery symbols.
In addition to these two fan-favourites, German players will also be among the first to be able to put the recently-released Secret Spellbook Respin through its paces. With this game again featuring a range of instantly-identifiable playing card symbols and a casino-style soundtrack, they’ll be able to activate an optional re-spin feature that makes triggering the slot’s Free Spins bonus infinitely easier.
Of course, players searching for a more modern take on the classic video slot will also be able to enjoy the ground-breaking releases that are provided courtesy of the Swintt Select line-up. With these games all featuring their own unique themes and a range of innovative bonus features that players won’t find at any other provider, players will now have a selection of exciting options at their disposal.
Naturally, these will include the studio’s most successful release to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, along with the celebrity-endorsed slot, The Crown starring Vinnie Jones, but players will also be able to experience the recent graveyard smash, Monster Disco XtraHoldTM, and the upcoming Select title, Electric Elements which boasts four rewarding reel modifiers that can be purchased for an extra stake.
As such, no matter what their slot gaming preferences may be, German customers will now have access to a rich and varied catalogue of Swintt slots at Jokerstar, which will help the studio strengthen its presence in the market while simultaneously elevating the platform’s software offering.
Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “While developing our portfolio of slots, Swintt has always kept a close eye on the German market – and we’re thrilled to now have the chance to share all of these exciting titles with German players through our new partnership with Jokerstar. “In particular, our range of Premium slots should prove especially appealing to players on the platform, given that they combine the aesthetics and gameplay elements of classic land-based machines that German players know and love with quick-fire gameplay and modern bonus features.”
Juergen Kling, CEO at Jokerstar DE, said: “At Jokerstar, our goal has always been to provide all the excitement of an in-person casino experience to players from the comfort of their own homes – and partnering with Swintt will certainly enable us to further enhance our slot offering.”
