Having recently been nominated for the EGR B2B Awards in 5 categories, hotshot game studio Swintt is picking up where it left off last month with the fresh release of its new Del Fruit slot.

The latest title to feature in the supplier’s popular catalogue of Premium Games, Del Fruit is a five-reel, five-payline release that draws its inspiration from classic, land-based slot machines. The game features an instantly recognisable line-up of fruit-themed symbols including cherries, lemons, oranges and grapes, while the higher value icons are represented by BARs, liberty bells and lucky red sevens.

The game features maximum wins of 5,000x players’ bet, a relatively low volatility level and two exciting bonus features. The first of these will no doubt be familiar to fans of Swintt’s other Premium releases and is triggered by landing three or more of the now-iconic Book scatter symbols, which also double as substitute wilds to complete further paylines.

Should players achieve this feat during any base game spin, they’ll instantly be whisked away to a new screen where a short animation will begin. Players will be presented with an open book, the pages of which will turn over one by one to reveal a Lucky Symbol. Any instances of the selected symbol that appear during the feature will expand to fill the reels, increasing the slot’s overall winning potential.

Once a Lucky Symbol is selected, players will receive an initial 10 Free Spins, with one further bonus game being added whenever a new scatter appears. Should a Lucky Symbol expansion take place, wins will be calculated from left to right on all active paylines providing the minimum number of combinations is hit, irrespective of whether or not the expanding symbols appear on adjacent reels.

On top of that classic Free Spins feature, Del Fruit also includes a secondary bonus game that is capable of awarding huge multipliers and instant payouts. Activated whenever three or more pearl symbols appear anywhere on the reels, a new mini-game will launch where players begin with three re-spins.

When the feature is activated, the triggering pearl symbols will lock in place and the reels will begin spinning. Whenever a subsequent pearl appears, it will also remain on the reels as the re-spin counter is reset to 3. The feature will only end when all re-spins have been used up or when pearl symbols completely fill the reels, at which point all values will be added together and awarded as a prize.

Being a Premium release, players won’t be surprised to discover that Swintt’s rewarding Risk feature is also available after any winning spin. An optional extra that can be activated by clicking the button to the left of the reels, the Risk feature allows players to double or quadruple the value of their current prize by guessing the colour or suit of a hidden playing card respectively. Multiple rounds of Risk can be played, with the game ending when an incorrect guess is made or the maximum win is achieved.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With their iconic graphics and casino-style gameplay, Swintt Premium Games have proved incredibly popular with slot fans all around the world.
“Our new Del Fruit slot will build on that success by providing another intuitive user experience that’s further enhanced by two rewarding bonus features and maximum multipliers of 5,000x players’ bet.”

Groove says it has passed 20,000 titles in its aggregated casino content library, delivered to partners via “one API” and managed through its Groove Command back office.

The company said the catalogue includes slots, instant win games, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style titles, plus “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” Groove added that the portfolio is now live and available to its partners worldwide.

Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said the company focuses on curation rather than chasing volume: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” Says Tourgeman. “We don’t add studios for the sake of volume. We add them because they bring something distinctive: a mechanical innovation, a visual language, a player-engagement hook that our operators can’t get elsewhere. Our partners trust us to curate, not just collect. That trust is why we keep growing, and why the quality curve keeps rising alongside the quantity curve.”

Groove said recent integrations include KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it described as offering “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” The company said the additions were assessed for technical compatibility and “commercial distinctiveness.”

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, positioned the milestone as part of a broader platform pitch: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” said Meltzer. “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement. It says that Groove has become the default engine for operators who want to move fast, compete smart, and never compromise on content depth. But we are not stopping here. The next 20,000 will be even more selective, more integrated, and more aligned with where player behaviour is heading. Volume without curation is noise. We are building a signal.”
