Swintt stirs up another masterpiece in new Cocktail Book slot
Award-winning software provider returns to action with feature-packed premium release
Having recently been named winner of the ‘Risig Star in Casino Innovation/Software’ category at the SBC Awards 2021, popular game provider Swintt is raising a glass to players this month with the release of their brand-new Cocktail Book slot.
The latest title in the in-demand software developers’ Premium Slot collection, Cocktail Book is a classic 5×3 game that features five fixed paylines and a thirst-quenching theme. Set in a tropical island paradise, the game invites players to mix up the perfect blend of fresh fruits, BAR symbols, liberty bells and lucky red sevens as they say “chin, chin” to maximum multipliers of 5,500x their bet.
While all base game winnings can be bet in a gamble feature that sees players guess the colour or suit of a hidden playing card to double or quadruple their current prize respectively, this is merely the aperitif in terms of the refreshing rewards that Cocktail Book can offer in its main Free Spins feature.
Activated whenever three or more Cocktail Book scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, players will be whisked away to a new screen where they’ll have to choose from two fresh and fruity Free Spins recipes. Choosing the orange option awards 6-25 Free Spins with expanding wilds added to the reels, while choosing the purple option grants 8-12 Free Spins with an expanding mystery symbol.
Looking at the two Free Spins features in more detail, should players opt for orange they’ll be presented with a screen filled with ten coconuts. Clicking on any of them will reveal a number of Free Spins, and they can continue picking and adding games until one of the coconuts starts the feature. Once the bonus begins, any wilds that appear will expand to fill their reel and complete new paylines.
If players plump for purple, however, a bonus wheel with two rings will appear. Once clicked, the outer ring will spin and stop on a random base game symbol and the inner ring will select a number of Free Spins. Once the feature starts, whenever the previously selected symbol appears on the reels, it will expand to fill the entire column, with five expanding symbols triggering the Full Table maximum win.
To add the finishing touch to what is already a masterful bonus blend, should players land three of more subsequent scatter symbols during either of the Free Spins features, they’ll be able to pick more coconuts or spin the wheel again to prolong the round and potentially add further wins to their total.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “The start of the year can sometimes feel a bit gloomy, so we’re inviting players to get away from the cold and join us on a tropical island paradise as we serve up five reels of thirst-quenching fun in Cocktail Book.
“The latest game in our Premium Slot collection, Cocktail Book provides a blend of intuitive gameplay and fun features that a master mixologist would be proud of. With a maximum multiplier of 5,500x up for grabs, we’re sure the game will provide players with plenty of reasons to raise a toast this month.”

Bet It Drives Season 3 Premiere: Eman Pulis on Legacy, Risk, and Why Rome Changes Everything
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was SiGMA World.
But when Eman Pulis rolls through the Eternal City in Season 3 of Bet It Drives, he’s not just another iGaming founder with a war story. He’s the gladiator who fought COVID, broken rules, outplayed industry skeptics—and came out building schools in Ethiopia while running eight conferences across three continents.
“Now I’m free,” Eman says, quoting Hans Zimmer’s Gladiator soundtrack—his victory song for after SiGMA Central Europe wrapped and the chaos settled. Free from the rules that almost sank him. Free to build tribes, not just teams. Free to prove that legacy beats profit, every single time.
Season 3 of Bet It Drives, powered by GR8 Tech and hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, CSO, launches where champions are made: on the road, in motion, with no script and nowhere to hide. Rome sets the stage. Eman brings the empire.
In the episode, Eman reveals:
- The COVID gamble that saved SiGMA: How 14,000 people walked through doors that were supposed to stay shut—and why he’d do it again
- Why Rome, why now: The strategy behind planting the flag in Europe’s second-biggest gaming market (and why Malta stays in the picture)
- From beach in Phuket to existential crisis: The moment everything felt too perfect—two weeks before COVID hit
- 350 people, 8 offices, one tribe: How a multicultural team became SiGMA’s secret weapon across Manila, São Paulo, Cyprus, and beyond
- Business is done between people, not brands: The mantra that turned boozy Malta meetups into a global events empire
- Politics or impact? Why helping millions through the foundation beats governing 400,000 people in Malta
- The “zoom out” rule: Crisis survival advice from someone who almost became redundant overnight
“We covered a lot of ground—literally and figuratively,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “And Rome was the perfect place to kick off Season 3. The city represents where the industry is right now—ancient foundations, modern chaos, and endless opportunity.”
Season 3 keeps the momentum rolling with upcoming episodes featuring Valentina Diaco and Karolina Pelc—two more amazing leaders with stories worth hearing.
Watch or listen to Season 3, Episode 1 with Eman Pulis on:
The arena is open. The conversations have started. Season 3 of Bet It Drives is here—and it’s just the beginning.

Belatra invites players down to the Frozen Barrel Tavern to celebrate the festive season
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has rolled out the red carpet to the Frozen Barrel Tavern to celebrate the festive season. Players are warmly welcomed into a cosy winter tavern that radiates holiday cheer and buzzes with Christmas chatter.
In the standard game and free games feature, winning symbols explode and the empty positions are replaced with new symbols until no further wins occur. Big symbols that land are either 2×2 or 3×3 and act the same as 4 or 9 identical standard symbols. The large x2 and x3 barrels substitute for 4 or 9 identical standard symbols and also multiply the Global Multiplier above the reels.
During the Base Game and Bonus Games, multiplier symbols ranging from 2x to 250x can land. After each cycle, all multiplier symbols are added together, and if the Cumulative Multiplier is greater than 1, it is included. The winning total, visible at the top of the reels, is multiplied by this amount. Flying barrels have the potential to enter the fun and will replace the non-winning symbol with the multiplier symbol.
The Cumulative Multiplier begins at 1 at the start of both the base game and the Free Games round. During Free Games, any Multipliers that appear on the reels are added to the Cumulative Multiplier at the end of each spin, and the updated value carries over to the next Free Game. When the round ends, the total winnings are multiplied by the combined value of the reel Multipliers and the Cumulative Multiplier, if it is greater than 1.
Players finding four or more Scatters on the reels will be awarded with 10 Free Games. Three or more Scatters in Free Games trigger five more Free Games – the limit is capped at 100.
Tis’ the season, so the Frozen Barrel Tavern has a Happy Hour. Six Scatters appearing triggers the special Bonus game. Here the initial Cumulative Multiplier takes a value between 2 to 10, big wins appear more often, and the maximum win is 12000x.
Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented: “Frozen Barrel Tavern is the perfect place to celebrate the holidays – and hopefully land some big wins. Warm lights, fun features, and a touch of seasonal magic make this festive treat a fantastic addition to our portfolio.”
