Sought-after software provider’s latest Premium release invites players to rumble in the jungle as expanding lucky symbols and Free Spins help them hunt down Jurassic wins

Having already drawn players’ attention to Master of Books and Seven Books Unlimited, award-winning software provider Swintt is inviting players to join them on an exciting new adventure in Book of Dino Unlimited.

The latest release in the studio’s popular Premium Game series, Book of Dino Unlimited is a five-reel, 10-payline slot that takes place in the perilous jungles of the Jurassic era. There, players will team up with an intrepid explorer as they walk among dinosaurs and hunt down max multipliers of 5,000x their stake.

Featuring a colourful cast of unique symbols that includes the aforementioned adventurer, a roaring stegosaurus and essential kit such as binoculars and a sturdy-looking pistol, players will quickly notice that the iconic book icon also makes a welcome return. Acting as both the game’s scatter and a substitute wild, this special symbol is the key to unlocking Book of Dino Unlimited’s biggest pay outs.
Not only will the book icon replace any regular base game symbol to form winning paylines, but whenever three or more appear on the reels during a single spin, players will also be transported to an exciting Free Spins feature where an additional Lucky Symbol will be chosen to expand throughout.

When the feature is triggered, the titular Book of Dino will appear over the reels and the pages will turn to reveal a random base game symbol. Should any required instances of the selected symbol appear during the Free Spins, they will stretch to fill the entire reel and help players create new prize combinations.

To add a bit of extra bite to the feature, should players land three or more subsequent scatter symbols, not only will they receive an additional 10 Free Spins, but a new Lucky Symbol will also be chosen. In this manner, the bonus can be prolonged until all nine regular base game symbols expand whenever they feature, with this naturally paving the way for more frequent pay outs and gigantic full table wins.
Having previously appeared in other titles in the series, the Buy Feature option also makes a welcome return in Book of Dino. This means that for an optional wager of 89x their stake, players can elect to access the Free Spins directly without needing to trigger them by collecting scatters in the base game.

As a final incentive, players will also be able to gamble any winnings they make during the base game in Swintt’s popular Risk Feature. When this option is selected, they’ll be given the chance to double or quadruple the value of their prize by correctly guessing the colour or suit of a hidden card respectively.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “The “Book” collection is undoubtedly one of the most popular slot series in the Swintt catalogue – and we’re delighted to be able to invite players to join us for an exciting new chapter in Book of Dino Unlimited.

“Combining a rewarding Free Spins feature and expanding Lucky Symbols with the iconic design and gameplay of our Premium Games, we’re sure this brand-new Book is going to be a real page-turner!”

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
