The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, an award-winning player engagement solution, celebrates its fourth anniversary, delivering strong business results and expanding into new regulated markets.

Since its launch in 2021, the SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator has become a trusted engagement and retention tool for operators worldwide. By the beginning of Q4 2025, the solution powers over 100 active brands, with more than 520 jackpot campaigns launched and 68,000+ jackpot hits. These numbers reflect growing adoption and consistent performance across regulated markets.

In early 2025, the SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator obtained certifications in Brazil, Peru, and Estonia, strengthening its position in Latin America and Europe. These approvals allow operators in both markets to integrate the tool in full compliance with regulatory and technical standards.

Angelina Stasiuk, Head of Business Line at SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, shares: “Four years of consistent growth show how powerful engagement mechanics can be when built on flexibility and trust. Our recent expansion into new regulated markets marks an exciting new chapter, giving regional operators access to the same reliable and engaging jackpot solutions that have already proven successful worldwide. We’re proud to see the Jackpot Aggregator evolve into a solution that brings real value to both operators and their audiences.”

The flagship Prime Network Jackpot remains the key feature of the Jackpot Aggregator. The tool unites multiple operators under a shared prize pool, driving some of the industry’s most impressive payouts. One of its campaigns paid out a record-breaking €1,368,013, while a recent win in September 2025 saw a lucky player take home €758,262.71. The growing scale of the network confirms its power to increase engagement and deliver immersive gaming experiences for players worldwide.

Rosaria Freitas, Director of Product at Kirgo Casino, comments: “Congratulations to SOFTSWISS on four years of the Jackpot Aggregator. At Kirgo, we emphasise real play, real rewards, and zero distractions. This partnership enhances what our players can win without compromising that focus. By combining our local jackpots with the Prime Network, we’re offering Kirgo players exclusive community rewards and access to major shared prizes: simple, transparent, and designed for real enjoyment value.”

The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator continues to evolve as a cornerstone of player engagement strategy. This year, the solution introduced a major update – the Paid Participation Campaigns feature, which expands entertainment options for players and creates new revenue opportunities for operators. In this format, players contribute an entry fee to join jackpots, prize drops, multi-prizes, or even the Prime Network Jackpot. The feature also encourages closer collaboration with game providers, driving mutual promotion and long-term player engagement.

Smash and Win mechanic boosted by three Special Features and powerful Free Spins to elevate entertainment

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, welcomes players to join the party with Paddy Star: Smash and Win, where a charismatic leprechaun host and his Piggy Banks introduce the supplier’s innovative new mechanic.

The brand-new Smash and Win feature activates when the leprechaun Wild symbol combines with any Bonus or Jackpot icon. It unlocks their values and adds them to the winning spin in the Main Game or to the total win during Free Spins. This fresh mechanic is enhanced by three randomly triggered Special Features that can activate during a single spin.

Paddy Spin guarantees Wild and Bonus symbols, while Jackpot Nudge rewinds a random number of icons to reveal Jackpot symbols when the Wild lands on the central reel. Wild Nudge rewinds the centre cell of the third reel to land on the Wild symbol, with each feature capable of transforming an ordinary spin into something magnificent.

The title’s animated Piggy Banks, positioned above the reels, receive coins from the Wild symbol during both the Main Game and Free Spins. Each has the power to trigger six Free Spins, offering the opportunity to land a total of 12 if both activate at the same time. Free Spins can then retrigger, extending the party-level energy.

Four in-game Jackpots, from a 10x Mini Jackpot up to a 1,000x Grand Jackpot, add further excitement and are all paid during the Smash and Win feature only. With medium-high volatility and a max win of 2,129x, the title combines retention-proven mechanics with inventive new features.

This latest release demonstrates Playson’s talent for developing unique mechanics that enhance player engagement based on data-driven insights.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Paddy Star: Smash and Win represents a fresh chapter in our commitment to innovation and delivering more to our partners. The mechanic was developed specifically for this title and brings something genuinely new to the reels.

“The combination of our Smash and Win feature, multiple themed Special Features and the dancing Piggy Bank characters creates an experience that is memorable and packed with winning potential.”
