After obtaining certification from the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli to distribute games in Italy last summer, the sought-after software provider Swintt has revealed it will expand its plans in the country through a partnership with Starcasino.it.

According to the details of the new agreement, starting this week, the well-known Italian online casino platform will start featuring games from the provider’s cutting-edge Elysium Studios collection, allowing players to enjoy a variety of next-gen slots known for their distinctive themes and captivating elements.

Under the terms of the deal between the two iGaming giants, Starcasino.it will receive a one-week exclusive access period for the newly released title, King’s Gold Hold & Win, guaranteeing that players on the platform are some of the first in the nation to try the new game.

Featuring a top win of 30,000x and three progress bars that can activate their distinct Hold & Win features, King’s Gold exemplifies the colorful visuals and dynamic mechanics that have contributed to the success of Elysium Studios slots in various regulated markets.

Alongside other leading titles like Law of Gilgamesh and I Hate Fairytales now offered on the site, players at Starcasino.it can explore all that this vibrant product line provides and will easily discover a new favorite to include in their “must-play” lists.

Consequently, Starcasino.it will enhance its collection of premium casino offerings and solidify its status as one of Italy’s leading iGaming platforms, whereas Swintt gains from the heightened visibility that partnering with such a prominent operator in the nation can offer.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Since being granted ADM approval to offer games in Italy, we’ve been steadily increasing our foothold in the market and are thrilled to have the opportunity to do so again by partnering with Starcasino.it. With a deal now in place, Starcasino customers will be able to enjoy all the great titles in our Elysium Studios range, while also enjoying one week of exclusive access to our huge recent hit, King’s Gold Hold & Win.”

Fabio Denegri, Business Director Italy at Betsson Group, said: “Games in Swintt’s Elysium Studios catalogue have already proven incredibly popular with Italian players, so we’re delighted to now be able to offer the full line-up at Starcasino.it. Crowned by a one-week exclusivity period for King’s Gold Hold & Win, hosting these exciting titles will enable us to offer an even wider range of casino content to players, further strengthening our position as one of Italy’s leading operators.”
