HappyCasino goes live with full suite of Swintt Games
New Glitnor Group-owned platform to offer complete line-up of Select and Premium slots plus immersive casino titles from the SwinttLive catalogue
HappyCasino – the brand-new SGA-licensed product that’s owned and operated by the rapidly rising iGaming company, Glitnor Group – has announced it will be bolstering its post-launch line-up with the addition of Swintt’s range of video slot games.
Having only opened its virtual doors to the public in August, HappyCasino has wasted no time in strengthening its roster of titles and will now offer over 40 popular releases from the award-winning software provider, including games in the SwinttSelect and Premium slot ranges.
For the more modern video slot fan, the former Swintt’s Select line-up of games will give players access to innovative titles such as the Candy Crush-inspired Candy Gold, The Crown starring Vinnie Jones and Aloha Spirt XtraLockTM – with the last game in that trio boasting a patented XtraLockTM system that enables players to trigger Tiki Spins which can provide access to four local jackpot prizes.
In the second category, players in Sweden will now be able to enjoy games such as Extra Win X, Master of Books Unlimited and Book of Dino Unlimited, which combines gameplay of land-based slots with engaging features like free spins and expanding wilds.
Given its new status in the highly competitive world of online gaming, the presence of Swintt titles at HappyCasino will provide a boost for the brand as it aims to establish itself as a leading brand in Sweden. Similarly, it will enable the provider to put its games in front of a wide new audience, ensuring both parties will reap the benefits of what promises to be a long and successful partnership.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With HappyCasino being an innovative new mobile-first casino and Swintt recently being recognised as winners of the Innovation in Mobile category at the 2022 EGR B2B Awards, our latest collaboration looks set to be a match made in heaven.
“We’re very much looking forward to sharing our full suite of Select and Premium slots with players in Sweden and sincerely hope doing so will help Happy Casino establish itself an industry leading brand in its native market
David Schwieler, Chief Executive Officer at Lucky Group (Lucky Casino & Happy Casino), said: “Any new online casino is only as good as the games that it offers to players – and by including Swintt titles together with some other key suppliers in our early post-launch line-up, we think we’ll be able to deliver an unrivalled gaming experience to customers in Sweden.
“Time and time again, Swintt has demonstrated a mobile-first approach to game development that meshes perfectly with our brand’s vision and we’re thrilled to be able to offer the provider’s full suite of slots in a cutting-edge casino environment that’s perfect for mobile players.”

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
