Swintt slots now live at Fair Play Casino
Slot innovator makes its Netherlands online debut by offering portfolio of games at regulated Dutch casino site
Dutch players who’ve enjoyed Swintt’s extensive collection of slots in the land-based gaming halls, such as Master of Books, Seven Seven, Fresh Fruit and Seventy Seven, woke up to good news this morning as the sought-after software provider announced its portfolio of games is for the first time available at Fair Play Online 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 now 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 has already worked with Swintt in the past, 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 the recently-released Lucky Jimmy, but they’ll also get to try out smash hits from the Swintt select line-up such as Aloha Spirit XtraLock™ 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 having recently launched its much-anticipated The Crown slot. Starring former footballer-turned-actor and philanthropist, Vinnie Jones, the ambitious release sees players embark on a daring mission to capture the Crown Jewels over five fun-packed bonus features.
The first slot in the Swintt line-up to include multiple base game locations, The Crown allows players to choose their preferred rendezvous, with each venue boasting a unique wild symbol that can significantly boost their payouts. With expanding wilds, sticky wilds, multiplier wilds and random wilds that fill the reels for huge wins, there are plenty of ways for players to pull off the perfect prize heist.
To top it all off, not only does The Crown offer players a cinematic slot experience like no other, but a portion of the game’s proceeds will also go to a good cause. Despite his tough guy persona, Jones has once again shown off his charitable side by teaming up with Swintt to donate a portion of The Crown’s future revenue to his non-profit group of choice – the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Charity.
With that exciting addition to look forward to and a range of other great options also available, the new partnership will certainly help Swintt raise their profile in the regulated Dutch market, while also
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 Casino. 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 regulated online market.”
Pascal Jahnsen, Business Development Manager at Fair Play Casino, said: “With Swintt slots having already proved a popular fixture at Fair Play’s bricks-and-mortar casinos, we’re delighted to be able to extend our partnership to bring their games into the regulated Dutch iGaming market. Having recently debuted their much-anticipated release, The Crown, the timing couldn’t be any more perfect for us and we’re sure the full Swintt line-up will go on to be a huge hit with players at Fair Play Online Casino.”

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
