Swintt partners with PressEnter to further increase game distribution
In-demand software supplier teams up with rapidly-expanding online casino network to bring full portfolio of titles to brand-new audiences in a wide range of iGaming markets
Having already signed off on a number of exciting partnership deals earlier this year, hotshot software providers Swintt are showing no signs of slowing down this month following the announcement that their full range of casino titles will now be available via PressEnter.
Like Swintt, PressEnter is a relatively young iGaming company who has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence over the past few years. Founded in 2018, the group currently boasts eight instantly-recognisable online casino brands within its ever-expanding network, with the likes of XLbet, Nitro Casino and Neon Vegas all catering to players in a wide range of markets around the world. Of course, the good news for customers at any of PressEnter’s online casino platforms is that they will now all be able to host Swintt’s rich and varied line-up of online video slots. These include both classically-styled games that take their inspiration from iconic land-based slot machines and more modern titles that all include their own unique themes, gameplay mechanics and innovative features.
Dealing with the latter category first, SwinttGames offer players an exciting mix of state-of-the-art graphics and sound and pioneering bonus rounds. Popular titles from this ground-breaking collection that will now be available at PressEnter sites include Swintt’s most successful launch to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, Mystic Bear XtraHoldTM and the highly-anticipated upcoming release, Book of Shai. If straightforward gameplay and an instantly-identifiable line-up of slot symbols that includes iconic classics such as liberty bells, BAR logos and lucky red sevens are more to players’ liking, however, SwinttPremium games definitely hold the answer. With these titles all boasting pick-up-and-play appeal and a selection of rewarding free spins features, they’re the perfect choice for all slot purists.
Fan-favourite games in the SwinttPremium collection that will now feature in the lobbies of PressEnter brands include the genre-defining Master of Books Unlimited, the magical Secret Spellbook Respin and the recently-added totem pole-topping slot, Takutiki, which features three unlockable modifiers. With all these great games and more shortly heading to PressEnter platforms, there’s plenty for players to look forward to this month – and the new collaboration will certainly help both parties further enhance their reputations for being two of the fastest-growing brands in the iGaming industry.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “We’re excited to be able to share our innovative collection of SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases with players on PressEnter’s casino network.
“Like us, PressEnter is a relatively young brand that has grown exponentially in the last few years and it already boasts a strong line-up of casino platforms in several markets. By teaming up with PressEnter, we’ll be able to introduce our slots to a wide new audience while also helping the company’s sites continue to deliver the outstanding casino content that sets them apart from the competition.”
Hampus Eriksson, Chief Product Officer at PressEnter, said: “While PressEnter has only been active since 2018, we’re incredibly proud of the rate at which the company has grown in such a relatively short space of time “With this in mind, we’re delighted to be teaming up with one of the industry’s most in-demand game providers, Swintt. Having their games in our lobbies will enable us to provide players with even more great casino gaming options and we’re sure they’re going to love everything the studio has to offer.”

Shaping the Future of Esports: ICE Esports Arena provides essential insights
The ICE Esports Arena at ICE Barcelona 2025 plays a key role in educating people about esports and how to access, integrate and regulate this growing vertical, says Clarion Gaming’s leader in Emerging Technology and Esports.
“Part of the role of the Esports Arena and The Esports and Games Conference is explaining exactly what esports is,” said Will Harding. “There is still work to be done in helping regulators to better understand esports. That’s why showcasing esports here at ICE is so important – we’re empowering people who are at the forefront of shaping regulatory policy.”
The ICE Esports Arena continues to grow year-on-year, with four world-ranked professional Counter-Strike 2 teams competing live at ICE 2025 for a US$25,000 prize pool. This year’s winners were 500 (Bulgaria: World ranking: 47).
“In terms of attendees, we have a whole spectrum of people here, from those that are still shocked that computer games have anything to do with sports betting to those that have built incredible businesses around esports,” Harding continued.
“There are also a number of visitors who realise that esports is significant for their business in terms of revenue but don’t necessarily know how to access this vertical, and we’re here to guide them toward unlocking its full potential.
“But the one thing which is absolutely certain is that esports betting is here to stay and it’s going to continue to grow”
He also praised headline partners, esports betting experts Oddin.gg, for their contribution in helping explain why esports is such a commercially important vertical for operators.
“Oddin.gg has been an excellent partner in realising the Esports Arena. Holding a professional esports tournament is a big endeavour. As our headline sponsor, Oddin.gg has played a key role in showcasing how the data and the odds work. They have helped complete the education journey,” he affirmed.
Commenting on ICE’s move to Barcelona, Harding highlighted that both the city and the show’s new venue Fira Barcelona Gran Via have extensive experience with esports, providing a perfect location for the ICE Esports Arena’s continuing expansion.
“It’s very established here. You can walk around Barcelona and see large-scale internet cafes catering for esports fans,” he added. “This represents an ideal foundation for the continued growth of the Esports Arena and The Esports and Games Conference in the years ahead.”
