New partnership ahoy! Swintt titles now live at Jackpotpiraten.de
Having already made waves in the iGaming industry, Swintt’s full suite of slots is sailing into new waters by launching on Germany’s popular pirate-themed platform
Having only just plundered the title of Mobile Gaming Software Supplier of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards, Swintt, has already raised anchor and set sail on an all-new partnership project as its full fleet of slots prepare to dock at Jackpotpiraten.de.
Owned and operated by the same team that brought customers bingbong.de, Jackpotpiraten.de is a popular pirate-themed online casino platform that’s fully licensed to operate in Germany and offers a swashbuckling selection of slots to its loyal players.
Now that the operator has teamed up with Swintt, its already impressive game line-up has gotten even stronger thanks to the presence of both SwinttPremium as well as a few recent smash hits from the innovative new Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt slot catalogue.
With the last product range on that list coming as a result of the high-profile acquisition of Elysium Studios by Swintt earlier this year, customers at Jackpotpiraten.de can look forward to taking on state-of-the-art titles such as Elysium VIP and Law of Gilgamesh – both of which feature breathtaking visuals and engaging set of bonus rounds that’ll really blow them away.
For those with more traditional tastes, meanwhile, the SwinttPremium range features a number of titles that have already proved incredibly popular in Germany. These include fan favourite games like Seven Seven Pots and Pearls and Extra Win X, both of which are known for combining classic casino sounds and visuals with easy-to-access features that also pack a real prize punch.
With all that and more now available at Jackpotpiraten.de, the collaboration looks set to be beneficial for both parties, with Swintt now able to continue strengthening its presence in the German market while the platform cements its reputation as a go-to destination for the best new casino content.
Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “Swintt – and in particular, the studio’s SwinttPremium catalogue of games – is already very popular in Germany, so we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with new audiences via Jackpotpiraten.de. We’re sure the collaboration will be a big success and we can’t wait to see how our slots perform with players.”
Florian Werner, Managing Director at Jackpotpiraten.de, said: “At Jackpotpiraten.de, we’ve worked hard to compile a great selection of games from some of the most dynamic software providers in the industry. Being able to now add an award-winning studio like Swintt to our roster will only strengthen this line-up further and we’re sure our players will love seeing what they have to offer.”

Big Hot Flaming Pots
Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures – Lightning Box Brings Land-Based Hit Online
Light & Wonder has officially launched Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures, the digital debut of its highly successful land-based franchise. Developed by in-house specialist studio Lightning Box, this 3×5 slot offers 243 ways to win and a high-energy “three-pot” mechanic that has already become a staple on casino floors worldwide.
The game transitions the whimsical “dumpling-tossing” theme to online audiences, combining vibrant Asian-inspired aesthetics with a deep mathematical model designed for high-engagement sessions.
The Three-Pot Mechanic & Seven Feature Combinations
At the core of the gameplay is the persistent pot system. Landing specific colored coins fuels three separate pots—Yummy, Spicy, and Upsized. These pots can trigger individually or in any combination, leading to seven distinct bonus paths.
| Feature Mode | Gameplay Enhancement |
| Yummy Mode | Increases the Hold & Spin respin counter from 3 to 4, significantly extending bonus life. |
| Spicy Mode | Introduces Chilli multipliers; landing a pepper adds its cash value to every symbol currently held on the board. |
| Upsized Mode | Unlocks a Dual Grid (two reel sets) for the Hold & Spin round, doubling the win potential. |
| Combined Modes | Triggering all three at once creates the “Mega Bonus,” featuring dual grids, 4 respins, and value-boosting peppers. |
Innovation: The Stack N’ Hit
Feature
Unlike traditional Hold & Spin mechanics where symbols simply lock until the round ends, Tasty Treasures introduces the Stack N’ Hit
evolution.
-
Reel Clearing: When a vertical reel is filled with Bun symbols, the prizes are instantly collected, and the reel is cleared.
-
Persistent Respins: Clearing a reel creates open spaces for new prizes to land, allowing the bonus round to continue far longer than standard industry alternatives.
-
The Path to Grand: Each cleared reel activates a “Pepper Tracker” above it. Lighting up all five trackers awards the Grand Progressive Jackpot.
Jackpot Tiers & Base Game Depth
Operators benefit from a versatile math model that supports both consistent base-game performance and high-volatility jackpot chases.
-
Progressive Jackpots: Grand and Major tiers for life-changing win potential.
-
Fixed Jackpots: Minor and Mini tiers awarded through symbols landing during features.
-
Nudge Wilds: In the base game, Wild symbols can nudge to cover entire reels, assisting in achieving the 243-way payouts.
“Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures carries forward a brand that has already made its mark in land-based venues,” says Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box. “This release offers operators a flexible, high-performing title that combines familiarity with fresh layers of engagement.”

Blask data indicates Venezuela’s iGaming demand remained stable in the initial days following the US operation in Caracas.
On 3 January, US forces detained Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, transporting him from Caracas to face prosecution in New York. The raid came after months of intensifying American pressure throughout 2025 — naval presence, targeted strikes, and a fresh sanctions package.
For Venezuela’s iGaming sector, the disruption poses a critical question: will demand collapse, or adapt?
First results
Blask’s daily Index remained within a tight corridor from 1–4 January, hovering in the high-200K zone. It dropped 5% to 257.4K on the day of the operation, before recovering the next day.
The data reveals no abrupt demand shift during this period. A slight decline sits within Venezuela’s normal daily fluctuations and does not point to a fundamental market change.
Rapid expansion, growing dominance
Venezuela stood out as one of iGaming’s strongest demand gainers in 2025. Blask Index surged 134.9% year-on-year — the second-highest growth worldwide.
This expansion came alongside increasing market dominance. By December, Triunfo Bet commanded 59% of Blask’s BAP (Brand Accumulated Power, measuring a brand’s portion of total user interest nationally), gaining 15 percentage points since January. The top three brands collectively reached over 85%, up 11 points.
