Swintt slots to go live at Fair Play Casino
Slot innovators to make their Netherlands online debut by offering portfolio of games at regulated Dutch casino site
Swintt, one of the most in-demand game developers, has expanded its geographical reach into the thriving Dutch market after striking a deal with Fair Play Casino.
The new arrangement represents Swintt’s first steps into recently-regulated Dutch igaming market and marks a significant step in the evolution of the company, with Netherlands players soon able to access games in their slot and premium slot collection online from the comfort of their own homes.
Fair Play Casino is one of the biggest regulated operators in the Netherlands and is looking forward to working with Swintt in their new online operation, with their bricks-and-mortar gaming venues featuring many of the provider’s premium games. As such, the studio has already built up a large fan-base in the country and the new deal will further strengthen their presence in the market by bringing Swintt slots to a new audience.
This means that Dutch players will now not only be able to enjoy the premium games that they know and love such as Master of Books and Extra Win but they’ll also get to try out smash hits from the Swintt select line-up such as Book Of The East and a host of other top titles.
The online partnership between Swintt and Fair Play Casino Online also comes at the perfect time for players, with the software provider set to launch its hotly-anticipated Rock n’ Ways XtraWays slot this month. The upcoming game has been in the pipeline for a few weeks now and has created plenty of buzz in the industry thanks to a unique pay system that offers players up to 262,144 ways and up to 25,000 x bet to win
The slot begins on a conventional 6×3 reel matrix, but every star symbol that appears will add additional spaces to the reel it lands on. In this manner, the game board can be expanded up to a massive 6×8 layout, with this configuration unlocking the slot’s maximum number of win lines. On top of that, players can also trigger up to 25 Free Spins on their current layout for potentially huge prizes.
With that exciting addition to look forward to and a range of other great options already available, the new partnership will certainly help Swintt raise their profile in the regulated Dutch market, while also allowing Fair Play Casino Online to deliver on their promise of providing the very best slots to players.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “We’re thrilled to be taking games from our slot and premium slot collection live at Fair Play Casino Online. The latter are already hugely popular with Dutch players due to their presence in Fair Play Casino’s live venues, while the former will introduce them to a world of great games as we make our first steps into the Dutch regulated online market.”
Pascal Janshen, Content Manager at Fair Play Casino: “We are very excited about our partnership with Swintt, as they give us the opportunity to offer our online players some of their favorite games which they have gotten to know and love in our landbased casinos, such as Moon Oak and Seven Seven. Besides these “classics”, we are confident that Swintt’s newly developed games will become equally popular and an appreciated addition to our existing game portfolio.

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.
