Sought-after software provider rolls out a selection of its greatest hits on popular Dutch betting platform, with Elysium Studios games supplying the perfect encore

This month two titans of the entertainment industry are joining forces as iGaming provider, Swintt, teams up with leisure and hospitality legends, Hard Rock Casino NL, to bring a bumper selection of the popular provider’s biggest hits to customers in the Dutch market.

As a result of the new collaboration, customers at HardRockCasino.nl will not only be able to enjoy a wide selection of titles from the SwinttSelect and SwinttPremium catalogues – the latter of which has already proved incredibly popular with players in the country – but they’ll also be able to get a first look at the state-of-the-art slots in the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt range.

With these including immersive titles like Fox Tale – which sends players on a journey through an enchanted Japanese forest in search of expanding wilds and maximum wins of up to 2,165x their stake – and the upcoming I Hate Fairytales, which provides a quirky twist on the classic fantasy slot format with a maximum payout of 33,934 x their bet, there’s sure to be something for everyone among the innovative studio’s new line-up.

Of course, with that just being a few highlights from the full Swintt set list that will be playing out at HardRockCasino.nl over the coming weeks, both parties are optimistic about the benefits that the new partnership will bring and have already spoken of their enthusiasm to get things started.

Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “With Hard Rock Casino undoubtedly being one of the most recognisable names in entertainment, we’re delighted to be able to help them strengthen their online licensed casino brand in the Netherlands with the addition of Swintt games.

“By partnering with such a respected operator, we’ll be able to put both our SwinttSelect and SwinttPremium titles in front of a wide new audience and will also be able to give Dutch players a first look at the state-of-the-art titles in our exciting Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up.”

Paul Strikers, CEO at Hard Rock Casino NL, said: “One of the cornerstones of the Hard Rock Casino NL brand’s success online has been the depth and variety of our game line-up, which is made up of the hottest releases from over 40 of the biggest software providers in the business.

Being able to add Swintt to this all-star roster will only strengthen our offering further and we’re really looking forward to hearing how customers take to immersive releases in the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up such as Fox Tale and the eagerly-anticipated I Hate Fairytales.”

A new fully EveryMatrix-funded project aimed at helping veterans of the war in Ukraine transition to develop new careers in technology has launched in Lviv.

The NGO, entitled ‘Academy for Heroes’, is spearheaded by EveryMatrix and was inspired by its 300+ employees, based in Lviv in Ukraine, some of whom are fighting in the war.

There are hundreds of thousands of combatants in Ukraine, a number that is rising every day. Following their return from war, sometimes with serious injuries, many need social adaptation and work that can provide a more certain future.

The Academy will organise courses designed by leading experts in the IT industry, enabling former military personnel to gain the knowledge and skills needed for successful IT careers.

Beyond its primary goal of equipping veterans with IT skills, it also aims to help them successfully integrate into today’s labour market. EveryMatrix and several other local IT companies will be involved in the employment of veterans after they have completed courses.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: “Our Lviv office is central to our continued success and growth. Ever since the country has experienced conflict we have supported our friends and colleagues, as well as charities, with much needed funds committing more than €2 million to date, and we will continue to help them.

“Now, we’re taking that one step further by setting up our second company NGO to ensure veterans receive the training and skills they need to return to work and develop successful careers in technology.

“The IT industry is one of the strongest parts of the Ukrainian economy, renowned worldwide for technical skills. I hope many will either join us or go on to join other IT companies, giving them hope and a more certain future for themselves and their families.”

Professor Oleksiy Druhov, CEO, Academy for Heroes, said: “This is the only continuously operating project of its kind in Ukraine for military veterans. Our goal is to teach four groups of veterans every year.

“Each group will have its own specialisation such as Project Management, Quality Assurance and Full stack to name just a few areas. We carefully monitor the Ukrainian IT market and only train the specialisms required.

“All participants will undergo internships at EveryMatrix and other leading Ukrainian IT companies during their studies and they will have the best teachers from the IT Industry. We are also planning to open a specialised, inclusive-friendly training centre at the end of 2024.”

This is the second fully funded NGO that EveryMatrix has initiated. In 2015 the iGaming technology provider established TeachStream supplying much needed funds and resources to disadvantaged children in Romania who might otherwise never have the opportunity to develop IT, computer science, mathematics and English skills.
