Innovative casino game supplier’s latest Premium release sees players brave scorching desert sands as they seek out a forgotten pharaoh’s fortune of up to 1,222x their stake
Having already journeyed to the four corners of the earth in their popular line-up of Premium Games, hot-shot software provider Swintt is set to embark on all-new adventure this month with the release of its highly-anticipated Pyramid of Light slot.
A five-reel, five-pay line game, Pyramid of Light sees players brave the desert winds and scorching sands of ancient Egypt as they seek out long lost treasures from the old world. Set to a backdrop of a setting sun dipping beneath the dunes, regular symbols to feature in the game include male and female pharaoh figures, dazzling gold hieroglyphs and the classic jack-through-ace playing card values.
Alongside these conventional pay table icons, the game also includes three special symbols that can impact players’ winnings in a variety of ways. The first two are scatters that are independent of the slot’s regular paylines, meaning players just need to hit three or more anywhere on the reels to win.
The ancient scroll scatter symbol only appears on reels 1, 3 and 5, but should players successfully land it in all three columns, they’ll receive a fixed payout of 20x their bet. The ancient book, meanwhile, can appear on any reel and awards prizes of 3x, 20x or 100x for three, four or five symbols respectively.
While the two scatters can certainly set players on their way to unearthing a pharaoh’s fortune, the real jewel of the desert in Pyramid of Light is the slot’s substitute wild symbol. Depicted as a golden pyramid, this exceptionally valuable icon will not only be counted as any base game symbol if it helps players complete a winning pay line, but it will also expand to fill the entire reel whenever it appears.
Through a combination of expanding wilds and high value pharaoh symbols, it’s possible for players to land a maximum win of 1,222x their stake, while the fact that the two scatters act independently from the regular paylines helps lower the game’s variance and improve the overall hit rate to 13.97%.
On top of all that, Pyramid of Light – like a lot of titles in the Swintt Premium collection – also enables players to participate in an optional Risk feature after any base game win. Here, they’ll be asked to correctly guess the colour or suit of a hidden playing card to double or quadruple their current win respectively. Multiple Risk rounds can also be played, meaning prizes can potentially grow and grow.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With its noble pharaohs and iconic architecture, ancient Egypt has always been a rich source of inspiration for slot developers – and we’ve done our best to capture that sense of awe and wonder in our new Premium release, Pyramid of Light.
“As the latest launch in our Premium Game line-up, Pyramid of Light has the instant play appeal of a classic land-based slot, but kicks the excitement up a notch thanks to the presence of scatter symbols and expanding wilds. Throw in a Risk feature on top of all that and we have high hopes for the release, particularly in the German and Dutch markets, where our Premium Games have performed so well.”

Betway Signs Real Madrid Legend Guti as Brand Ambassador
Betway officially signed Real Madrid legend Jose María Gutiérrez ‘Guti’ as a new brand ambassador for their Spanish market operations.
A true Spanish football legend, Guti came through the Real Madrid youth academy before making his first-team debut in a 4-1 win over Sevilla at The Bernabéu in December 1995. He went on to represent ‘Los Blancos’ 542 times between 1995 & 2010, scoring 77 goals and helping the club to 15 major trophies. He received his first cap for Spain in May 1999 and went on to represent his country on 13 occasions between 1999 and 2005.
Guti left his beloved Real Madrid in 2010, playing one final season for Turkish side Besiktas, before hanging up his boots in 2012. Post-retirement, coaching positions at Real Madrid and Besiktas led to his appointment as manager of Segunda side Almeria in 2019. Since leaving the club the following year, he has gone on to work in TV punditry, becoming a highly respected figure within the Spanish football media.
“Guti joins Betway as one of the greatest legends in Real Madrid’s recent history. He represents loyalty to the colours, excellence, and the purest talent in world football, making him the perfect ambassador for Betway in Spain,” Ignacio Alonso, Marketing Manager for Betway Spain, said.
“I’m excited to join Betway Spain as an ambassador. My time in elite football showed me that quality and commitment are inseparable; today, I’m proud to represent those values with a market leader and share this path with all of you,” Guti said.

Compliance Updates
KSA Tightens Gambling Ad and Betting Rules Ahead of FIFA World Cup
The Dutch Gaming Authority is intensifying its supervision of advertising and sports betting during the World Cup this summer. Prior to the World Cup, Dutch license holders were specifically reminded by letter of the applicable rules regarding advertising and betting offers.
In the letter, the KSA points out, among other things, the ban on untargeted advertising and sports sponsorship. The KSA also reminds providers that not all types of online betting are permitted in the Netherlands; for example, betting on who receives a yellow card or the first corner kick is not allowed. In the event of violations, the KSA takes immediate enforcement action.
During this period, the KSA is also extra vigilant regarding illegal providers and advertising for illegal offerings: immediate punitive action is being taken in these cases as well. Additionally, during the World Cup, attention is being paid to the risks of sports betting, particularly to raise awareness among young people.
Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the Board of the Gaming Authority, said: “We saw at the 2022 World Cup and 2024 European Championship that gambling increased. This makes it attractive for companies to attract new players during that period. While I understand this, I strongly urge providers to remain mindful of the protection of young adults and other vulnerable groups, and to adhere to the applicable rules. If we observe that this is not happening, we will take immediate action.”
