Of course, it’s the former category that arguably holds the most appeal in the German market, with many casino players in the country seeking out the thrills of their favourite land-based titles online. The Swintt Premium line-up is well-positioned for this demographic, as it combines the iconic aesthetics and sounds of classic slot machines with a selection of fun and easy-to-access bonus rounds. Jokerstar already has the Premium games in their gaming halls in Germany so it’s a natural progression to have them online as well.

Some of the popular releases from the Swintt Premium range that will now be available on Jokerstar include entries in the studio’s iconic “Book” series, Master of Books Unlimited and Seven Books Unlimited, both of which offer re-triggerable Free Spins that benefit from expanding mystery symbols.

In addition to these two fan-favourites, German players will also be among the first to be able to put the recently-released Secret Spellbook Respin through its paces. With this game again featuring a range of instantly-identifiable playing card symbols and a casino-style soundtrack, they’ll be able to activate an optional re-spin feature that makes triggering the slot’s Free Spins bonus infinitely easier.

Of course, players searching for a more modern take on the classic video slot will also be able to enjoy the ground-breaking releases that are provided courtesy of the Swintt Select line-up. With these games all featuring their own unique themes and a range of innovative bonus features that players won’t find at any other provider, players will now have a selection of exciting options at their disposal.

Naturally, these will include the studio’s most successful release to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, along with the celebrity-endorsed slot, The Crown starring Vinnie Jones, but players will also be able to experience the recent graveyard smash, Monster Disco XtraHoldTM, and the upcoming Select title, Electric Elements which boasts four rewarding reel modifiers that can be purchased for an extra stake.
As such, no matter what their slot gaming preferences may be, German customers will now have access to a rich and varied catalogue of Swintt slots at Jokerstar, which will help the studio strengthen its presence in the market while simultaneously elevating the platform’s software offering.

Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “While developing our portfolio of slots, Swintt has always kept a close eye on the German market – and we’re thrilled to now have the chance to share all of these exciting titles with German players through our new partnership with Jokerstar. “In particular, our range of Premium slots should prove especially appealing to players on the platform, given that they combine the aesthetics and gameplay elements of classic land-based machines that German players know and love with quick-fire gameplay and modern bonus features.”

Juergen Kling, CEO at Jokerstar DE, said: “At Jokerstar, our goal has always been to provide all the excitement of an in-person casino experience to players from the comfort of their own homes – and partnering with Swintt will certainly enable us to further enhance our slot offering.”

Turnover of Legal Gambling Market in Hungary Increases

Published

The Regulated Activities Supervisory Authority (SZTFH) has announced that the turnover of the legal gambling market in Hungary has increased.

The SZTFH and its predecessor have been blocking illegal gambling websites since 2014, preventing them from being accessible to Hungarian players. Thanks to the more than two thousand blockings ordered so far in 2024 and 2025, the traffic and turnover of the legal market is sharply increasing compared to the total market, which can be considered a significant improvement compared to the illegal market presence in previous years.

One of the main goals of the SZTFH is to take action against websites offering illegal online gambling that are not licensed in Hungary and the prohibited advertising sites that promote them, and to whitewash the Hungarian online gambling market. In the past two years, several legislative changes have come into force that have resulted in the acceleration and extension of the blocking procedure to advertising and contributing sites, and have created the opportunity to track and immediately block illegal sites that are constantly jumping to new domain names every day in order to evade the authority’s measures. Thanks to the change in the legal environment and the intensive action of the Authority, the number of visits to illegal gambling sites has now decreased significantly.

In the case of services offered by organisers who are not licensed to organise gambling in Hungary, the Authority has no possibility to oblige the gambling organiser to comply with the guarantee rules protecting the interests of the players, and the claim for the payment of the prize cannot be enforced before a Hungarian court. Gambling organisers who are not licensed by the Authority also violate the interests of the Hungarian State in the economic activity of organising and operating gambling. In addition to the above, by not joining the player protection register kept by the Authority, which prevents players who have been excluded from gambling voluntarily or by a court from participating in gambling, they also constitute an obstacle to the effective enforcement of goals related to player protection.

The SZTFH is committed to the elimination of illegal gambling and the whitening and increasing the competitiveness of the Hungarian gambling market in order to protect the interests of Hungarian players, and therefore will continue its intensive blocking activities with great effort and the use of innovative solutions in the future. Players can find out about the gambling organizers licensed in Hungary and the illegal sites blocked by the Authority on the Authority’s website.
