Bets Jump 2.6 Times: SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator Report 2023
The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, a comprehensive player engagement solution, shares its 2023 results, highlighting pivotal trends. The 2.6 times increase in bets participating in jackpots indicates the intensity of the operators’ use of jackpots and underscores a surge in player interest in these mechanics.
Bets participating in jackpots demonstrated steady quarterly growth, increasing by 165% from January to December 2023. By the end of the year, the total amount of these bets reached 6.396 billion euro. The number of jackpot campaigns increased by 3.8 times compared to 2022, totalling 230.
The Jackpot Aggregator achieved a significant milestone in 2023 as the number of brands leveraging its jackpot solution tripled from the beginning of the year. By the end of the year, there were over 70 active brands, reflecting a substantial increase in market confidence and interest in the product.
One of the year’s achievements was introducing the new network campaign called the Prime Jackpot. Launched in Q4 of 2023, this innovative feature swiftly attracted significant interest from players across various casinos.
This network jackpot allows operators to join shared prize pools. All rewards are paid from this pool rather than by a specific brand operator. This approach helps provide more significant rewards to attract more players and increase their engagement and loyalty while optimising operator costs.
Aliaksei Douhin, Head of SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, shares his insights: “The number of clients and connected casino brands has noticeably increased, along with the number and total value of bets participating in jackpots.
We are pleased to see our clients actively using the Jackpot Aggregator, recognising the additional opportunities and value it brings to their brand operations. Our solution allows operators to offer players enhanced gaming experiences and more attractive winnings. We have received vast feedback and carefully analyse it to provide our clients with the most sought-after tools and mechanics.”
In 2024, the Jackpot Aggregator is set to unveil its potential to a broader range of clients. This expansion is grounded in a customised approach, ensuring that each client can tailor the product capabilities to suit their needs.
The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator team will be at the ICE London on 6–8 February, ready to share their latest advancements and engage in product discussions with existing and potential clients.

Sought-after software provider’s enhanced Premium release sees players step into the glow of the Far East as wild symbols and Quadspins combine for huge rewards
With Swintt having already opened the way to a world of wonder in the original Lucky Fortune Door, this month the award-winning software provider is back in action again with Lucky Fortune Door Wild – an exciting reboot that gives players even more ways to win!
Like its SwinttPremium predecessor, Lucky Fortune Door Wild is a five-reel slot that can be played with either five or ten paylines. Boasting an engaging Far East theme, the slot combines dragons, yin and yang pendants and coins with new golden ingot wilds that substitute for all other symbols.
The good news for fans of the original game is that the slot’s signature Quadspin mechanic again makes a welcome return. Activated whenever a win of at least 4x the bet is triggered, players will have the choice to either claim their current prize or gamble a portion of it to activate Quadspins.
Should they decide for the latter option, the gameboard will be divided into four separate reel sets to potentially quadruple the prizes on offer – and of course, with substitute wilds now also in play, the chances of players landing the slot’s maximum 6,000x win multiplier will be greatly increased.
As a further incentive, during Quadspins, an extra mystery symbol is also added to the reels. Should any instances of this icon appear on any of the four reel sets, they will be replaced by a random matching symbol to create additional payline wins and generate potentially huge prizes.
On top of this, should players continue to land wins of 4x their bet or greater during Quadspins, they can elect to remain in the feature for longer. With a maximum of 50 Quadspin available per set, the odds of them embarking on a prolonged winning streak are, therefore, much more likely.
To cap it off, all wins in Lucky Fortune Door Wild are paid from both left-to-right and right-to-left, meaning that no matter how aggressively players choose to play, fortune is only ever a spin away.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With Swintt’s signature Quadspin mechanic proving a hugely popular addition to our Premium line-up, we’re delighted to be giving the feature another outing in Lucky Fortune Door Wild. Offering the same great gameplay as the original release but now with added wilds, it’s sure to be a big hit with players and operators alike.”

18Peaches’ Squid Gold X2 plunges players into a mystical treasure hunt
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Squid Gold X2 by 18Peaches invites players to dive deep into a world of mystery, magic and forgotten riches. Set within a sacred castle filled with ancient relics and hidden chambers, every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown. The legendary golden squid is said to guard untold fortunes, and only the bravest adventurers will uncover its secrets.
The journey plays out across a 5×5 grid with 50 paylines, where expanding reels can unlock up to 100 paylines for even greater rewards.
With enchanting artifacts, secret rooms, and the electrifying Squid 500 feature, no spin ever feels ordinary. Add in Free Spins, Wild expansions and instant bonus access via Buy Bonus, and Squid Gold X2 becomes a pulse-raising treasure hunt built for thrill-seekers.
“With Squid Gold X2, our goal was to create a journey where every spin feels like a step closer to unlocking a forgotten legend,” says 18Peaches Chief Strategy Officer Arsen Tadevosyan. “We designed mechanics like Squid 500 and the X2 expanding reels to build momentum, each trigger feels like a gate opening, both visually and emotionally. It’s that feeling of chasing something mythical, where every feature builds anticipation and drives you deeper into the experience.”
“When reels expand, paylines double, and the chamber glows with energy, players feel the story unfolding through mechanics. That flow, the rise in tension, the surge of possibility, is what makes Squid Gold X2 such a captivating adventure.”
As with all 18Peaches’ releases, Squid Gold X2
is bursting with features that keep every moment alive. The highlight is the legendary Squid 500 mechanic.
Whenever a Wild lands and expands, it triggers the sacred Golden Gate, unlocking hidden energy within the castle walls. As the gate opens, the power of the golden squid surges through the reels, doubling your paylines and dramatically boosting winning potential.
There’s also our X2 Mechanic. During bonus rounds, when the Golden Gate rises it reveals additional rows, expanding the grid and transforming 50 paylines into a breathtaking 100-line battlefield of rewards.
Squid Gold X2 is the latest addition to 18Peaches’ fast-growing catalogue of hit titles that continue to resonate with modern players. Recent successes such as Leprechaun Jackpot Collector, Monster Load-Up Hold & Win, and the high-adrenaline Hacker Crash
Jackpot have firmly established the studio as a creator of distinctive, high-engagement experiences.
As with all 18Peaches titles, Squid Gold X2 is built for effortless market deployment. The platform supports Sweepstakes and Free Rounds via API, enabling operators to easily tailor promotional strategies across diverse regulatory environments.
