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 XtraLock^TM – with the last game in that trio boasting a patented XtraLock^TM 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.”

Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, is set to unveil its 2026 multi-vertical product roadmap at ICE Barcelona, spotlighting major new slot releases and live casino launches alongside the latest season of its industry-leading Drops & Wins promotional tool.

The exhibition will mark the start of what promises to be another standout year for Pragmatic Play, following a record-breaking 2025 in which the provider launched more than 100 network slots, expanded its dynamic game show portfolio, and entered a new vertical with its arcade collection.

A show-stopping stand designed to deliver a fully integrated experience, spanning more than 1,750m² and featuring 100 screens powered by over 150 million pixels, including two giant displays, will bring Pragmatic Play’s characters to life. The centrepiece will be a striking candy cascade featuring more than one tonne of sweet treats, alongside a dedicated Pragmatic Play Sports zone, housing famous football memorabilia.

Over the past 12 months, Pragmatic Play has reinforced its localisation strategy by rolling out more than 150 new live dealer tables, 55 of which are localised for specific markets, supported by the opening of new studios in Serbia and Colombia. This has been complemented by the first-class Smart Studio technology, which has delivered over 800 bespoke tables for prominent operators.

Live Casino remains a major focus for the business, and following recent studio openings in Serbia and Colombia, there are plans to open additional Live Casino studios in 2026, including one in Brazil.

Pragmatic Play’s expansive portfolio will be on full display across stands 2P30, 2P50, and 2P70, featuring headline slots Jelly Express and Sugar Rush Super Scatter, which further strengthen its sweet-themed collection, Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin, the latest iteration of its timeless franchise, and Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250, a sequel to its hugely successful 2023 title.

The provider will also debut the upcoming Gates of Olympus Roulette, taking the popular Greek mythology IP into a new vertical and building on the momentum of numerous high-profile game show releases in 2025, including Fortune Roulette, Money Time, and Mega Roulette 3000. This will feature amongst a stellar live casino lineup that includes Color Game Bonanza, Crystal Roulette, and the provider’s all new Flow Blackjack tables, which aim to redefine the blackjack experience by reimagining the classic game through contemporary design.

Alongside its core verticals, Pragmatic Play will also spotlight additions to its arcade portfolio, including Plinko+ and Chicken+, a fast-paced, retro-style title built around simple gameplay and risk-reward cash-out mechanics.

Further supplementing its portfolio, Pragmatic Play will spotlight the latest season of Drops & Wins. Offering up to €25,000,000 in Weekly Wheel Drops and Daily Tournaments – the largest provider-funded prize pool in the industry – Drops & Wins underscores the supplier’s ongoing drive to deliver tangible value to its global partners and their players.

Pragmatic Play Sports will also be in attendance, shining a light on its rapidly expanding sportsbook offering. The brand is promising a hive of activity throughout the conference, including an intimate Q&A with football legend Clarence Seedorf on Monday 19^th at 2pm, hosted by Sky Sports presenter Polly James.

Pragmatic Play’s showstopping presence at ICE Barcelona outlines its 2026 ambitions, as it continues to push boundaries in betting and gaming innovation, setting new benchmarks for industry service.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “2025 was a landmark year for Pragmatic Play, with our strength across multiple product verticals reflected in record player activity and the receipt of 39 industry awards.

“2026 is shaping up to be another exceptional year, and it all starts at ICE Barcelona. We’re looking forward to showcasing our newest games, including Chicken+, Jelly Express, Color Game, and Fortune of Olympus Roulette, and demonstrating how we plan to deliver bigger, bolder, and more exciting experiences for our partners and their players.”
