With carnival season almost upon us, hot-shot software provider Swintt is inviting players to limber up and feel the rhythm in Continental Princess – a brand-new both-ways-pay slot that lets them shimmy and sway their way to Full Table wins of up to 1,000x their stake.

Boasting five reels and 10 fixed paylines, Continental Princess is the latest release in Swintt’s ever-expanding line-up of Premium games; a collection of titles that channels the bright graphics and straightforward gameplay of land-based slots and fuses them with a range of modern bonus features.

Taking place to a backdrop of lush South American jungle, Continental Princess features an entirely unique line-up of symbols including brightly-coloured gems, an ornate serpent and a golden jaguar. Additional princess wild symbols appear exclusively on the three central reels, with these special icons being key to triggering both the game’s main bonus feature and the maximum 1,000x prize multiplier.

Should players be lucky enough to land one of these unique wild symbols during any base game spin, it will expand to fill the entire reel as a special animation is triggered that sees the princess showing off her samba skills. As this happens, new payline combinations will be calculated both from left-to-right and right-to-left, with a free re-spin being awarded once all current winnings have been added.

While this re-spin takes place, the princess wild symbol will remain locked in place, with any subsequent wilds repeating the process and triggering a further re-spin. In this manner, it’s possible for players to collect a maximum of three re-spins with all three of the central reels becoming wild, with this significantly improving the odds of them landing one of game’s coveted Full Table payouts.

A Full Table payout is awarded whenever one symbol occupies all 15 reel spaces, so with princess symbols covering the central reels and substituting for all regular base game icons, players will only need to land full columns of matching symbols on reels 1 and 5 to trigger one of these incredible wins.

As a final incentive to get players dancing, all winnings collected during the base game or re-spins can also be gambled in Swintt’s popular Risk feature. Activated by clicking the flashing symbol to the left of the reels after any winning spin, players will be prompted to guess the colour or suit of a hidden playing card, with correct picks doubling or quadrupling the value of their current prize respectively.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With carnival season about to get into full swing, we’re challenging players to show off their moves in our exciting new Continental Princess slot.
“Featuring wins that pay both from left-to-right and right-to-left plus a hugely rewarding wild re-spin feature, the game looks certain to be another popular addition to our Premium collection and we hope players will enjoy taking it for a spin at any of our online casino partners 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.
