Award-winning software provider promotes former Chief Commercial Officer to leading role with former CEO David Flynn focusing on the growth of parent company, Glitnor Group

Swintt, the leading software provider behind popular recent releases Candy Gold and The Crown starring Vinnie Jones, has announced a key reshuffle at executive level that will see former Chief Commercial Officer, David Mann, take over as the company’s new CEO.
As a result of the promotion, outgoing CEO, David Flynn, will take a seat on the Board and now be able to operationally focus on his role as CEO of Swintt’s parent company, Glitnor Group, with Mann now being tasked with expanding the business, driving profitability and managing the software provider’s overall operations going forward.
Mann has been with Swintt since May 2019 and the promotion is fitting recognition for his efforts in helping the studio establish a number of important partnerships that have brought about rapid expansion in global markets. Prior to his time at Swintt, Mann also held roles with Wazdan, Betway and William Hill, showcasing a diverse professional background and highlighting his knowledge across the industry.
Having previously held the role of CEO for both Swintt and Glitnor Group, Flynn will meanwhile step down from his position at the former in order to devote his full time to the latter. With Glitnor being among the fastest-growing business groups in the iGaming space, the move is certainly timely and will help both companies continue to expand with a clear and defined strategy going forward in 2022.
Flynn is also an iGaming veteran with over 19 years of experience in the industry. He holds a Masters in Meteorology from the University of Reading, a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Wolverhampton and has previously occupied C-Suite roles at JPJ Group plc (Ballys), NYX Gaming Group(now a part of Light & Wonder), Microgaming and OnGame AB (now a part of Entain plc).
With the move now allowing both executives to use their considerable expertise to drive the companies to even greater heights, Mann is relishing the opportunity to get started in his new role for Swintt, while Flynn is looking forward to fully dedicating his efforts to heading up Glitnor’s operations.
David Mann, new Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to step into the leading role at a company as dynamic and forward-thinking as Swintt. Over the past couple of years, we’ve witnessed incredible growth in a number of key markets and I’m very much looking forward to being able to continue contributing to this outstanding progress in my role as CEO.
We have an exciting path ahead of us as we continue to expand our product portfolio, revamp our tech and launch into new markets around the globe, including the UK in the very near future.”
David Flynn, Chief Executive Officer at Glitnor Group said: “While I’m incredibly proud of everything Swintt has achieved during my time as CEO, David’s promotion means I couldn’t be leaving the running of the company in safer hands. Over the past couple of years, David has proven he has the experience and expertise to flourish in the role while driving further growth for Swintt, and by handing over the reins, I’ll be able to fully focus my efforts on helping Glitnor Group become one of the most entrepreneurial and fastest growing business groups in the iGaming industry.”

Thunderkick expands popular franchise with Midas Golden Touch 3

Studio unveils Power Recharge and Retrigger Boost mechanics to enhance bonus round
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Midas Golden Touch 3, the latest addition to its successful series that elevates gameplay to new heights with fresh features and greater player control.
The famous King Midas graces the opulent reels once more, where between one and five wilds on a payline boost wins with multipliers from 2x up to 32x. The Gift of Midas feature also returns in the base game, randomly distributing one to five wilds or scatters across the reels.
Similarly to its predecessors, landing three or more scatters in the new release activates the bonus round, this time with five free spins. However, in the third instalment, the number of triggering scatters determines the starting Epic Wild Multiplier: three, four, or five award a 2x, 5x or 10x base multiplier respectively.
Thunderkick has revamped the bonus round with an all-new Power Recharge mechanic, which is activated at the end of every respin sequence, increasing the Epic Wild Multiplier by 1x and adding two extra spins to the meter.
The studio has also introduced a Retrigger Boost, which resets the number of free spins to five and increases the Epic Wild Multiplier by between 3x and 8x when three to five additional scatters land, unlocking 15,000x win potential.
Thunderkick has continued to align with a trend toward heightened player control within gameplay, with the integration of six bonus buy and ante bet options catering to a variety of playstyles and further refining the user experience.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “It has been over half a decade since we launched the original Midas Golden Touch, and the brand has continued to resonate with players across the globe since.
“Our goal was to push the boundaries with Midas Golden Touch 3 to make it the most entertaining release to date. By introducing two distinct ways to build the Epic Wild Multiplier, we have delivered a game that harnesses the popular aspects of the franchise while introducing refreshed gameplay to appeal to both new and existing players.”

WATERHOUSE VC SECURES OPTION IN MAINCARD, THE “SHOPIFY OF ONLINE BETTING”

Waterhouse VC, an investment fund specialising in the technology layer of the global gambling industry, has secured an option in Maincard, a “Shopify of Online Betting” platform targeting the launch of fully customisable licensed online betting sites in under 30 minutes.
Maincard targets the $1 trillion iGaming market by replacing months of development work, cumbersome licensing and complex integrations with a subscription-style workflow. Crypto-native founders, influencers and digital communities can spin up branded betting sites, monetise their audiences and retain full upside ownership from day one.
“iGaming still suffers from high startup costs and significant technical and regulatory friction,” said Tom Waterhouse, Chief Investment Officer of Waterhouse VC. “We’re seeing strong potential in platforms that can streamline development, similar to how Shopify revolutionised e-commerce. The sector is ripe for innovation that allows new entrants to focus on player acquisition and retention rather than backend development.”
“Waterhouse VC’s deep domain knowledge and network will accelerate our go-to-market,” said Valerii Makovetskii, Founder and CEO of Maincard. “We’ve developed strong technical foundations with our crypto-friendly payments gateway already powering third-party casinos. The next step is to make launching a betting site as easy as launching an online storefront.”
The investment aligns with Waterhouse VC’s approach of identifying promising B2B technology companies serving the wagering industry and negotiating options to acquire stakes in these businesses.
Maincard platform vision:
- Launch in <30 minutes — drag-and-drop, no code required
- End-to-end compliance — licensing, KYC/AML, fraud, payments, customer support and marketing handled by Maincard
- 15,000+ casino games & 1,000+ sportsbook markets out of the box
Maincard is currently raising USD $3M to scale its sales team and launch multiple brands from the waiting list by the end of Q3 2025.
