Sought-after software provider’s new product vertical will enable third-party studios to launch on the Swintt platform, with Fine Edge Gaming set to become its first partner

Software innovator Swintt is delighted to announce the launch of SwinttStudios – an additional product vertical that will allow third-party studios to develop and distribute their product using the Swintt platform.

The SwinttStudios project is a brand-new initiative designed to help boutique software providers develop games within the existing Swintt framework. It will allow studios to focus more on the design and theme of their titles, while Swintt handles the nuts and bolts of game logic and product delivery.

Having only been announced this month, the revolutionary partnership program is set to hit the ground running straight away, with North American software provider, Fine Edge Gaming, already confirming that they will distribute six exciting slot titles via SwinttStudios throughout 2022.

Founded and managed by a team with huge experience in the US land-based sector, Fine Edge Gaming will use the opportunity to create a range of engaging games that will cater for player tastes in North America and beyond with the aid of Swintt’s extensive distribution network and useful back-end tools.

With two titles – Stacking Bisons and Diego’s Hunt – already confirmed, Fine Edge Gaming will use the SwinttStudios platform to develop and release a further four games throughout the year, with the collaboration enabling it to use Swintt’s licensing and partnerships to quickly roll out its new products.

Having spent over 35 years in the land-based gaming sector working for heavyweights like IGT and Incredible Technologies, Fine Edge Gaming Lead Founder, Beena Blake, is already a hugely experienced figure in the gaming industry – however, the additional technology and support offered by Swintt will certainly open up new doors and help her strengthen the company’s online presence.

With both parties expecting the partnership to be a resounding success, the deal between Fine Edge Gaming and SwinttStudios looks likely to be the first of many important collaborations on the new product vertical. It will simultaneously allow Swintt to make an instant impact with its latest venture by teaming up with an ambitious and hugely respected third-party studio, while also enabling Fine Edge Gaming to share its latest batch of games with new customers in a broad selection of markets.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With many independent suppliers requiring the support and know-how of an established industry partner, we’re delighted to be able to unveil our game-changing new partnership program, SwinttStudios. “Through SwinttStudios, we’ll be able to provide the perfect platform for providers such as Fine Edge Gaming to quickly and efficiently release their product in the markets they need to be seen. With six titles scheduled in 2022, we’re looking forward to working with them on this ambitious new project.”

Beena Blake, Lead Founder of Fine Edge Gaming, said: “The SwinttStudios project is an incredibly significant innovation in the iGaming industry and we’re honoured to be the first software provider to put the new product vertical through its paces.
“By teaming up with Swintt for this exciting new venture, we’ll be able to combine Fine Edge Gaming’s creative concepts and in-depth knowledge of player tastes across North America and beyond with Swintt’s advanced technology and distribution solutions to ensure we deliver a first-class gaming experience to a brand-new audience.”

Psiclone Games and Playtech-built title features three Free Spins modifiers, including expanding reels, sliding wilds and jackpots up to 500x bet.

PokerStars Casino has released Skullapalooza as the fifth game in its 2026 The Slotlist series, making the title the featured slot on the operator’s Casino tab for the month.

Skullapalooza is developed by Psiclone Games and Playtech. The game’s core hook is a Free Spins system built around three “Skull” features that can be triggered individually or in combination: expanding reels, jackpot accumulators and stacked sliding wilds.

According to the company, players can land different coloured gems to randomly trigger one or more Free Spins variants. Pink gems may trigger Free Games with Expanding Reels, blue gems may add Sliding Wilds, and purple gems may activate pots with a grand prize of up to 500x total bet. The company said all three variants can be active at once.

“The Slotlist is designed to spotlight games that deliver a well-rounded player experience, combining innovative features, striking visuals, and immersive gameplay”, said Ed Fogarty, Associate Director of PokerStars Casino Commercial. “Skullapalooza embodies all these qualities, and we’re thrilled to feature it prominently in The Slotlist this month.”

Skullapalooza joins earlier 2026 Slotlist picks including Baozang Empire of Plenty, Magnificent Power Leprechaun, and 12 Burning Baseballs.

Arizona extends Gaming Department for six years; problem gambling budget rises 20%

arizona-extends-gaming-department-for-six-years;-problem-gambling-budget-rises-20%

Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.

The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.

The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.

In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.

The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.

Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”

“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
