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.”

ZEAL has launched Dream Car Raffle (Traumautoverlosung), a new charity lottery offering in the regulated German gambling market. The company said the product is developed in-house and adds to its portfolio alongside its lottery brokerage business.

Traumautoverlosung is operated by Dreamify gGmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of ZEAL, while marketing and sales is handled by Lotto24 AG, also part of the group. ZEAL said the launch follows the Dream House Raffle (Traumhausverlosung) introduced in 2024 and freiheit+, making Traumautoverlosung its third charity lottery in Germany.

“With Traumautoverlosung, ZEAL continues its strategy of complementing its traditional lottery brokerage business with proprietary products, targeting new customer segments and reducing its dependence on jackpot-driven cycles of state lotteries,” the company said. Stefan Tweraser, CEO of ZEAL Group, added: “We are pleased to further expand our core business with attractive new products. Traumautoverlosung is another step towards diversifying our portfolio and reaching new target groups.”

ZEAL said Traumautoverlosung is structured with a limited number of tickets and a guaranteed winner. At launch, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be raffled, with a total of 250,000 tickets available. “With Traumautoverlosung, we are focusing on cars that are otherwise out of reach for many people – highly desirable models that are often difficult to obtain on the market,” said Michael Lee, founder of Traumautoverlosung. “Our goal is to translate this demand into a transparent, digital product with clearly defined mechanics.”

As a charity lottery, the product allocates at least 20 percent of ticket revenue to charitable causes, according to ZEAL. The company said the initiative will partner with Johanniter in 2026.

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, will introduce a new two-round Lotto format from 7 June and plans to launch a UK-specific version of Powerball later this summer, subject to final regulatory approval.

From 7 June, each £2 Lotto line will include two rounds per draw, giving players “two chances to win” from a single line. Allwyn said the change improves the odds of winning any prize from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9. Tickets go on sale on Sunday 7 June, with the first draw on Wednesday 10 June, continuing on Wednesdays and Saturdays at around 8pm. Two sets of six main balls and a Bonus Ball will be drawn using two separate draw machines.

Allwyn said the updated format is expected to increase the number of Lotto millionaires from around 140 a year to around 345. Lotto jackpots will continue to start at £2m and can roll over up to five times before a must-be-won event on the sixth consecutive draw. The £1m fixed prize for matching five main numbers plus the Bonus Ball remains, while the jackpot for matching six main numbers is shared across both rounds. The Lotto HotPicks add-on will also move to the two-round format and will remain priced at £1.

Powerball will be introduced in the UK in partnership with the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Allwyn said the UK version will be priced at £4 per line and will offer access to a “shared jackpot” with US participants, with UK jackpot winners paid out over 30 years. UK draws will align with the existing Powerball schedule, with ticket sales closing at 11.55pm the night before draws on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and draw results produced from the Powerball studio in Florida at around 4am on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Allwyn CEO, Andria Vidler, said, “We are delivering on our promise to bring more games, more entertainment and more innovation to The National Lottery. With extensive upgrades to our digital and retail channels now complete, we have a fantastic summer lined up, as we are now able to bring these exciting new games to our players.” She added that Allwyn’s goal is “doubling weekly returns to Good Causes from £30m to £60m by 2034, with £33m a week currently raised.”
