Swintt unveils a new graveyard smash in Monster Disco XtraHoldTM
Software provider’s spooktacular new slot serves up a haunting selection of features just in time for Halloween, with Free Spins, re-spins and colossal symbols all joining the party
This Halloween, Swintt is inviting players to don their dancing cape, shake their bones and strut their stuff on the haunted dancefloor of Monster Disco XtraHoldTM – a brand-new Select slot that comes packed with ghoulishly good features and a spooktacular RTP of 94.97%
Played out across a 5×4 reel matrix with 25 win lines, Monster Disco XtraHoldTM sees the denizens of the night shuffle out on the tiles to show off their moves. Unique symbols in the game include Dracula, a grinning ghost and various other undead disco dwellers, with a glowing mausoleum and tombstones depicting the classic ace-through-jack playing card values completing the regular base game line-up.
Special symbols to look out for include the Monster Disco XtraHoldTM gold vinyl disc with a bite taken out of it and the super scatter symbol, with the former arguably being the most profitable in the game and the latter increasing the excitement by not only acting as a wild that substitutes for any regular base game symbol to complete winning lines, but landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters also activates 5, 8 or 10 Free Spins respectively.
During the Free Spins feature, the game’s central three reels will be merged to create a giant 3×4 Mega Symbol, with this making it infinitely easier to land five-of-a-kind combos and trigger the slot’s huge pay-outs. Not only that, but landing three or more additional scatter symbols will also re-trigger the Free Spins, thereby prolonging the bonus feature and helping players to even more wins.
The gold vinyl disc symbol, meanwhile, will activate the game’s signature XtraHoldTM feature – a bonus that first debuted in Mystic Bear XtraHoldTM to great player acclaim earlier this year. In order to trigger this lucrative extra, players will need to land at least six gold discs anywhere on the reels, at which point they’ll all around spin to reveal cash prizes and an initial batch of three re-spins will be awarded.
During the XtraHoldTM feature, the re-spins counter will reduce by one after each new round, but landing any subsequent gold disc will see it reset as players continue spinning. This process will carry on until either no new vinyls are added, or players successfully fill all 20 reel spaces – at which point the Monster Disco Mega Bonus prize of 10,000 x bet will be awarded.
David Mann, Chief Executive Office at Swintt, said: “To get players in the mood to raise some hell this Halloween, Swintt are inviting all slot wizards, witches and warlocks to come and shake their stuff on the haunted dancefloor of Monster Disco XtraHoldTM – a spooky new slot in the Swintt Select range.
“Boasting the popular XtraHoldTM mechanic that we debuted a few months ago in Mystic Bear XtraHoldTM and a Free Spins feature that comes with colossal 3×4 Mega Symbols, the slot promises all players a ghoulishly good time and a series of monster prizes that are large enough to wake the dead!”

The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the world’s largest game providers – Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: “According to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesn’t stop here – we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer ‘the sleeping giant’. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.”
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 – ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20–22 January, at stand 2G42.
