Swintt takes it to the max in new Maximator slot
Sought-after software provider’s latest Premium Game cranks up the action with stacked wilds and a Wheel of Fortune feature where the electrifying MAXI jackpot can be won
Having already wowed players with popular Premium releases Win Eagle and Reels on Fire in recent weeks, Swintt has been back in the lab this month working on their latest slot creation – a new three-reel, five-payline, jackpot-packing powerhouse by the name of Maximator.
Like a lot of the titles that have gone before it in the Swintt Premium collection, Maximator draws on many of the hallmarks of classic land-based slots to provide a familiar and intuitive user experience. Played out across a 3×3 reel matrix, the slot uses fruit-themed icons such as cherries, plums and lemons and combines them with casino-style sound effects to recreate that gaming hall atmosphere.
Where Maximator differs from the fruit machines of old, however, is in the game’s exciting range of bonuses and features. For starters, the slot uses special wild symbols which can substitute for any regular base game icon to help complete winning paylines. Depicted as Swintt’s now-iconic wild fox, these important icons also appear stacked on the reels, which can be key to triggering full table wins.
The reason that this is so significant is Maximator’s other key feature – the Wheel of Fortune bonus round. In order to trigger this rewarding mini-game, players will need to successfully activate a full table win by filling all nine reel spaces with one base game icon. When they do this, the Wheel of Fortune will appear on the screen and they’ll be prompted to click or swipe to win an additional prize.
After spinning the wheel, the pointer will eventually stop on a segment containing a prize multiplier value of between 2x and 5x or – if players are especially lucky – the red MAXI space. Landing on the latter will activate the local MAXI jackpot, triggering the slot’s maximum payout of 800x players’ bet.
To help players access the Wheel of Fortune more regularly, Maximator also includes a second-chance respin feature. Activated whenever two out of the three reels are filled with one identical symbol or fox wilds, players will be granted a free respin to give them a second shot at triggering a full table win.
Finally, to round out the slot’s bonus features, Maximator also includes the popular Risk mini-game. Available after any winning base game spin, this optional extra enables players to double or quadruple the value of their current prize by correctly guessing the colour or suit of a hidden card respectively.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With our Premium Games continuing to prove popular in markets where players are more familiar with land-based slots, we’ve bolstered our line-up again this month with another action-packed release where huge wins are just nine symbols away. “Boasting stacked wilds, second chance respins and an iconic Wheel of Fortune bonus round, our new Maximator slot lives up to its name by packing the maximum punch into a simple 3×3 reel matrix. Also giving players access to our local MAXI jackpot, the game features a top prize of 800x players’ stake and should prove another popular addition at our partner casinos when it arrives this week.”

Groove says its aggregator library passes 20,000 casino games
Groove says it has surpassed 20,000 casino titles on its aggregation platform, up from 15,000 games two years ago. The company said the library now includes content from more than 150 providers and is available to partners worldwide through a single API.
According to Groove, the portfolio spans slots, instant wins, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style content, alongside “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” The company said the catalogue is delivered through “one API, one back office, one pipeline,” and positioned the milestone as a curated expansion rather than a volume play.
Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” She added: “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 pointed to recent integrations including KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it said offers “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” For operators, Groove said the full library is accessible via Groove Command, its centralised back-office product, with tools including content matching, regional segmentation and automated tournaments.
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” adding: “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement.” Meltzer also claimed Groove’s “technology stack with predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, real-time compliance mesh” supports execution “across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision.”

OS Studios names Ishaan Arya country manager to lead India expansion
OS Studios has appointed Ishaan Arya as Country Manager for India, tasking him with leading the agency’s expansion across newly established hubs in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Mumbai. The appointment was announced on 25 June, 2026 in Bengaluru.
OS Studios, a Project Worldwide agency, said it recently entered the Indian market and will deploy its ‘Fan Z’ approach for brands looking to engage with gaming, esports and live events audiences in South Asia. The company said the expansion will leverage the infrastructure and production capabilities of sister agency George P. Johnson (GPJ) India.
“The future of gaming will be shaped by the communities that care about it most, and few markets embody that more than India,” said John Higgins, CEO of OS Studios. “To build something meaningful, you have to be part of the culture, not looking in from the outside. Ishaan understands that better than anyone. He’s exactly the kind of leader we want building the future of OS Studios in India.”
In the role, Arya will oversee operations, drive strategic brand partnerships, and scale local capabilities, according to the company. “Brands are investing heavily in Indian gaming, but true fan experience is too often an afterthought,” said Rasheed Sait, Chief Growth Officer for India and South Asia at Project Worldwide. “Alongside GPJ India’s experiential footprint, OS Studios will set a new standard for fan engagement in the region.”
Arya previously co-founded The Esports Club and most recently served as Vice President of Partnerships at Nodwin Gaming, where he led Comic Con India. “A massive gap remains between brand intent and authentic community engagement in India,” said Arya. “I’m thrilled to leverage Project Worldwide and GPJ India’s operational strength to build culture-defining experiences for brands and fans alike.”
