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.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
