Software provider’s highly-volatile Premium release is ready to set the reels ablaze with top multipliers of 1,000x and a fiery scatter feature that pays out instant-win prizes

Throw off your winter jacket and put the umbrella back in the shed – award-winning software provider Swintt is turning up the heat this April with its brand-new Winnergie slot.

The latest game in the studio’s popular range of Premium releases – a fan-favourite line-up that combines fruit machine aesthetics with the latest in cutting-edge gameplay – Winnergie is a five-reel, five-payline title that offers red hot multipliers of up 1,000x players’ stake and a fiery scatter feature.

Set to a blazing red background, this classically-designed game uses a traditional line-up of symbols that includes BARs, liberty bells and fresh fruits. The highest-value icon to feature in Winnergie is the lucky seven symbol, which triggers the game’s top multiplier whenever five appear on a valid payline.

The special icon that players need to look out for in Winnergie is the golden fireball scatter, as this is essential to triggering the game’s main bonus. Essentially, whenever players land three or more of these symbols in any position, they’ll be awarded an instant payout that increases with every scatter collected. This prize is added on top of all other payline wins, meaning huge combinations are possible.

Keeping this in mind, the beauty of Swinnt’s Winnergie slot lies in its simplicity. Players don’t have to concern themselves with scrubbing up on the ins and outs of complicated Free Spins features, but can instead enjoy an uninterrupted gaming experience that can award incredible prizes on any given spin.

Couple this with the slot’s high volatility and 11% hit rate and Winnergie is the perfect game for both seasoned slot aficionados and those who simply want to jump into the action right away. Available at stakes ranging from €0.05 per spin all the way up to €100, the game is capable of catering for players of all different bankrolls and playing styles and can also be supplied in almost 20 different languages.

Like all other Swintt slots, Winnergie is completely optimised for mobile and can be enjoyed on most major smartphone and tablet devices. The game’s simple layout, bright visuals and input-free scatter feature make it the ideal title for fans of gaming on the go, no matter where they happen to be playing.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “While Swintt is a brand that’s well-known for innovative gameplay mechanics like XtraWays^TM, XtraLock^TM and XtraStreak^TM, so-called “classic” slots are considered classics for a reason – namely their iconic design and intuitive, user-friendly gameplay.
“Our Premium range of games has always tried to adhere to these values, and in Winnergie, we’ve really perfected the formula. The game features iconic fruit machine symbols, a simple but rewarding scatter bonus and huge multipliers of up to 1,000x players’ stake. Combined, we think this makes Winnergie an instant classic in its own right and we’re sure the slot will prove a huge hit with players.”

Meridianbet Completes Fairbet Acquisition, Expanding Malta Retail Gaming Network Under Golden Matrix Group

Meridianbet, a leading global sports betting and gaming operator and a subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has completed the acquisition of Fairbet Ltd., a licensed retail gaming operator in Malta.

The transaction significantly expands Meridianbet’s physical retail footprint in one of Europe’s most tightly regulated gaming jurisdictions.

Fairbet operates under Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) license B2C/195/2011, and the acquisition grants Meridianbet 100% ownership of Fairbet’s retail operations across Malta and Gozo, the archipelago’s second-largest island. The deal expands Meridianbet’s presence beyond its existing locations and further consolidates its position within the Maltese retail gaming market.

As part of the transaction, nine additional retail locations will be integrated into the Meridianbet network, increasing the company’s total number of storefronts in Malta to 20. The enlarged retail estate is expected to operate more than 60 sports betting terminals and over 120 slot machines, significantly boosting Meridianbet’s land-based gaming capacity.

The companies’ previous technology partnership will now transition into full operational integration, with Meridianbet assuming complete operational control of Fairbet’s retail network. All locations will be rebranded under the Meridianbet name, ensuring unified technology, compliance, and customer experience across the portfolio.

Malta’s retail gaming sector is governed by one of the most restrictive regulatory frameworks in Europe, with only three licensed operators permitted to operate retail betting locations: Meridianbet, Izibet (the National Lottery operator), and Fairbet. With Fairbet now wholly owned by Meridianbet, the company effectively controls two of the three retail gaming licenses in the jurisdiction.

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) enforces strict licensing criteria, substantial capital requirements, and rigorous compliance standards that create significant barriers to market entry. These conditions limit competition and create long-term scarcity value for licensed operators that meet the regulatory threshold.

“Completing the acquisition of Fairbet strengthens our position in a market where regulatory barriers create inherent scarcity value,” said Zoran Milosevic, CEO of Meridianbet. “This transaction allows us to expand our retail infrastructure in Malta, while our technology now supports the majority of licensed retail gaming in the country. It reflects our disciplined M&A strategy, targeting high-barrier markets where limited licensing creates durable competitive advantages.”

The Fairbet acquisition aligns with Meridianbet’s broader growth strategy, which combines organic expansion with selective mergers and acquisitions in jurisdictions where regulation encourages consolidation. Malta has been a core operational hub for Meridianbet since 2008, with the company ranking among the country’s originally licensed gaming operators during the early development of the MGA framework.

Malta’s gaming industry benefits from a regulatory regime widely regarded as one of Europe’s most credible. The MGA’s oversight framework emphasizes investor protection, technical compliance, and financial stability, positioning Malta-licensed operators for trust and recognition across international markets.

Meridianbet’s expanded retail footprint across Malta and Gozo enhances its ability to serve both local customers and the island nation’s strong tourism sector. According to Malta’s National Statistics Office, tourist arrivals exceeded three million visitors in 2024, reinforcing the strategic value of a broad, well-positioned retail gaming network
