Swintt sets to go live on Premier Gaming network
In-demand software provider ramps up expansion plans for 2024 with a new partnership that will see Swintt’s portfolio widely available at Premier Gaming sites
Swintt, the well-known software provider behind the celebrated Seven Seven and Xtra series of games, has announced it has agreed to a new deal with Premier Gaming that will see its full catalogue of titles become available to operators on the network.
Premier Gaming is the company behind some of Europe’s fastest-growing online casino brands and currently powers a number of big-name platforms including Pronto Casino and Slothino. Specialising in slots and live casino games, the brand is committed to offering users ‘the ultimate online gaming experience’ and has now doubled down on that promise by adding Swintt titles to its portfolio.
With SwinttSelect and SwinttPremium releases to be introduced to customers in MGA and SGA markets, players will be able to enjoy a rich and varied line-up of content that features state-of-the-art titles and slots that take their inspiration from land-based casino games.
In the former category, the SwinttSelect catalogue includes a number of uniquely themed releases that come with signature mechanics and bonus features that players won’t find from any other provider, as well as soon-to-be available titles from Elysium Studios. Of particular interest to Premier Gaming players will be Aloha Spirit XtraLock™, which – with its Tiki free spins and a max win of 200,500 x bet – still ranks as the studio’s most successful release to date.
The SwinttPremium collection, meanwhile, seeks to recreate the thrill of a land-based slot machine online by combining straightforward features and gameplay with iconic graphics and sound. Popular with more traditional casino players, one of the undisputed highlights of the Premium range coming to Premier Gaming will be Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, which includes its own lucrative free spin feature.
With these two great games and more set to make their debut on the Premier Gaming network, the new collaboration looks set to be a win-win for both parties – with Swintt able to increase its online presence in the MGA and SGA markets while brands like Pronto Casino and Slothino continue their rapid recent growth by adding even more top titles to their extensive portfolios of casino games.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “While everyone at Swintt is very proud of the growth we achieved in 2023, going into the New Year we recognised it was important we didn’t rest on our laurels and we continued to expand through partnerships with the biggest brands in the business. “As the company behind some of Europe’s fastest-growing online casino platforms, our new collaboration with Premier Gaming will certainly help us achieve that goal by introducing our titles to players in both the MGA and SGA markets through trusted operators like Pronto Casino and Slothino.”
Mark Zammit Perici, Chief Marketing Officer at Premier Gaming, said: “With the Premier Gaming network already powering some of the best-loved online casino brands in Europe, we know that partnering with top software providers like Swintt is crucial to making our offering even more appealing to players. “Boasting both innovative SwinttSelect with cutting-edge features and traditional SwinttPremium titles with classic graphics and sounds, the provider offers something for everyone and we’re sure their games will prove to be a popular addition to our network as we look to strengthen our line-up in 2024.”
ACR Poker is igniting the spring poker season with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, offering an astonishing $10 million in guaranteed prize pools alongside the return of its celebrated High Five Series.
From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.
Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.
With five Day 1 flights, participants can enter multiple times and build competitive stacks for Day 2’s showdown. Qualifiers begin April 7th through Venom Fever satellites, providing hundreds of seats — some even free — via Direct, Mega, or Beast satellite events.
All players who make it to Day 2 on April 27th at 1:05 pm ET are already in the money. The climactic final table to crown this special edition’s champions will take place on April 28th at 4:05 pm ET.
ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker says the High Five edition builds on the momentum of earlier high‑stakes events like the $50 Million OSS XL, combining huge guarantees with broad access and big bounty potential for players of all bankrolls.

Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.
Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.
According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.
Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.
However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.
