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.”
