Swintt strengthens Dutch foothold with new Circus.nl partnership

Rapidly expanding software provider launches SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases on Netherlands-based betting brand
Following the announcement of further Netherlands-based partnership deals earlier this year, Swintt looks to have doubled down on its decision to take the Dutch market by storm after teaming up with Circus.nl to launch a wide range of games on the popular betting platform.
The new collaboration sees Circus.nl – which also offers sports betting and a dedicated live casino – host a hand-picked selection of releases from the SwinttGames and SwinttPremium catalogue, as well as exclusive third-party slots that have been launched via the exciting SwinttStudios programme.
Of that powerful trio of line-ups, it’s arguably games in the SwinttPremium range that will be the most eagerly anticipated by customers at Circus.nl. As player trends in the Dutch market have previously demonstrated a certain affinity for “classic” slots, these titles look set to be the perfect fit for the platform, given they combine the playability of land-based slot machines with modern bonus features.
The SwinttPremium games collection is perhaps most widely recognised for its “Book” series of games, which all feature Free Spins bonus rounds that boast innovative modifiers such as expanding mystery symbols. One such title that will now debut at Circus.nl is Master of Books Unlimited, which not only provides this powerful mechanic, but also gives players the chance to re-trigger Free Spins indefinitely.
Other Premium titles that are set to feature on the Dutch platform include Extra Win X, which gives players the chance to massively multiply their base game winnings in a wheel of fortune-style bonus round, and the recently-released Cleopatras Pearls with everyone’s favourite Pearl feature and seven different scatters with special features.
Circus.nl players with an appetite for more modern slot content, meanwhile, will also have plenty to enjoy courtesy of the SwinttGames catalogue. With these games all boasting immersive themes and ground-breaking bonuses, notable additions to the site will include The Crown starring Vinnie Jones, the mobile-game inspired, Candy Gold and Swintt’s most successful title to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM.
On top of these two staple collections, Circus.nl players will also be able to get their first look at boutique third-party software provider, Fine Edge Gaming, whose explosive Stacking Bison slot has been distributed via the SwinttStudios program. Featuring 720 ways to win, a maximum jackpot of 5,044x the selected bet and a Stacking Bison Respin feature that only uses high value symbols, the game has all the makings of an instant classic and should prove a huge hit among players at Circus.nl.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With the Dutch market being a key focus area for Swintt, we’re delighted to be teaming up with a quality brand like Circus.nl to ensure our state-of-the-art slot selection can be enjoyed by even more Netherlands-based players.
“With Premium releases, SwinttGames and SwinttStudios exclusive all launched recently, we’re sure Circus.nl customers will have no trouble finding a new favourite slot and we’re confident the partnership will prove a highly successful venture for everyone involved.”
Denis Wittebrood, Casino Operations Manager at Circus.nl, said: “We believe Circus.nl to be the top online casino and sports betting website available to Dutch players – and the most reliable way for us to cement our status as #1 is to carry on teaming up with the best and brightest game providers around.
“Over the past couple of years, Swintt have certainly proved that they’re one of the most sought-after developers in the online casino industry, so we’re very excited to now be able to share a wide selection of their releases with our casino customers and hope they enjoy taking these great games for a spin.”

Evoplay starts a big fiesta in spicy new title Don Juan Peppers

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.
Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.
The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.
Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.
The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.
Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.
“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”

Greek Casino Industry Undergoes Major Transformation

The Greek casino industry is undergoing a major transformation, with high-profile investments and relocations redefining the market.
While casinos now account for a smaller share of the broader gambling industry, with the total Greek gambling market reaching $31.5 billion in wagers in 2023 and gross gaming revenue of $2.8 billion, the flurry of new licenses, relocations and integrated resort projects is reshaping the sector and attracting international attention.
Following global trends, Greek casinos are evolving into integrated resorts, where gambling is just one part of a broader entertainment and hospitality experience.
These resorts aim to attract high-end tourists, generate consistent visitor flows, boost tax revenue and enhance Greece’s international brand in luxury tourism. The next five years will be critical in establishing Greece as a leading Mediterranean destination for integrated resorts.
Leading the wave is the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Athens at the former Ellinikon site, a project valued at $1.6 billion. The venture is a partnership between Hard Rock International (51%) and GEK TERNA (49%), a major Greek construction and energy company, set to create one of Europe’s largest integrated resorts.
Standing 646 feet (197 meters) tall with 42 floors, the resort will include a five-star hotel, a conference center, event spaces and a casino built to international standards. Completion is expected within three years, creating three thousand construction jobs and three thousand permanent positions once operational.
Another key development is the relocation of Parnitha Casino to Marousi. The plan, initially proposed thirteen years ago, overcame legal hurdles after the Council of State approved Presidential Decree No. 36 (FEK 79/A/30-3-2023), which permits the transfer and modernisation of the casino into a multifunctional complex.
This Voria complex will occupy 52 acres near Golden Hall—an upscale shopping mall in Marousi—with 27 acres allocated for public spaces and 25 acres housing the casino, a five-star hotel with 150 rooms, a 1400-seat auditorium, dining, entertainment areas and a 636-space underground parking garage.
The $270 million investment is projected to create three thousand construction jobs and three thousand permanent positions, with completion expected three years after the building permit, anticipated in September 2025.
Three other casinos—in Rio, Alexandroupolis and Corfu—are undergoing financial restructuring.
Saint George Participations, linked to the Arfani and Chioni families, secured operational approval from the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP) and plans to acquire licenses and control by purchasing existing loans and shares.
Although legally and financially complex, investors have already committed $13 million, signaling long-term involvement even before taking equity stakes.
The EEEP is also preparing to award a new casino license in Gournes, Heraklion, Crete, independent of the broader redevelopment of the former US base managed by Dimand.
Crete’s strategic location, strong tourism and new infrastructure make it highly attractive. The license is expected to be offered via tender by early 2026, drawing international interest.

UGC Calls for Global Teamwork to Stop Illegal Gambling

The Ukrainian Gambling Council (UGC) has called for a united, tech-based plan to tackle the worldwide increase in illegal online betting.
Viktoriya Zakrevskaya, UGC’s Deputy Chair, said the quick growth of digital platforms has led to more unlicensed operators. These operators often use cryptocurrencies and social media to avoid getting caught and to attract users.
Illegal operators now make up a big part of the $618.7 billion global iGaming market expected by the end of 2025. These platforms often register offshore, use anonymous payments and market online, making it harder to enforce laws against them.
Zakrevskaya pointed out that nations across the globe are trying out solutions that mix rules, tech and people’s involvement. Argentina, for example, has put in place tough age-checking systems and stops blacklisted websites on public Wi-Fi networks. This method, she explained, has made illegal sites harder to reach for at-risk groups such as kids.
In Indonesia, where betting is outlawed, officials have started watching money flows to cut off unlawful activity. Just last year, they froze 26,000 bank and e-wallet accounts tied to illegal betting operations, showing how focused money controls can limit unregulated gambling.
The US struggles with a unique problem because of its scattered rules. Unlawful betting websites are growing almost twice as fast as legal ones in the US. Over 80% of users see ads for unlicensed sites. People are now trying to tighten control on digital money and push big tech companies to better manage gambling content.
Ukraine has stepped up its crackdown. The country’s new watchdog PlayCity, which started after KRAIL was shut down, is teaming up with global tech firms like Meta to take down social media accounts that promote illegal casinos. The government has also blocked more than a hundred unlicensed sites thought to be sending money to Russia. Kyiv thinks Moscow uses the underground gambling world to fund its ongoing war.
A crucial element of Ukraine’s long-term plan involves creating a system to monitor bets and tax income in real time with transparency. The Ministry of Digital Transformation is working with tech experts to construct the platform, which should enhance supervision and boost public confidence in the regulated market.
