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!”

18Peaches’ Squid Gold X2 plunges players into a mystical treasure hunt
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Squid Gold X2 by 18Peaches invites players to dive deep into a world of mystery, magic and forgotten riches. Set within a sacred castle filled with ancient relics and hidden chambers, every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown. The legendary golden squid is said to guard untold fortunes, and only the bravest adventurers will uncover its secrets.
The journey plays out across a 5×5 grid with 50 paylines, where expanding reels can unlock up to 100 paylines for even greater rewards.
With enchanting artifacts, secret rooms, and the electrifying Squid 500 feature, no spin ever feels ordinary. Add in Free Spins, Wild expansions and instant bonus access via Buy Bonus, and Squid Gold X2 becomes a pulse-raising treasure hunt built for thrill-seekers.
“With Squid Gold X2, our goal was to create a journey where every spin feels like a step closer to unlocking a forgotten legend,” says 18Peaches Chief Strategy Officer Arsen Tadevosyan. “We designed mechanics like Squid 500 and the X2 expanding reels to build momentum, each trigger feels like a gate opening, both visually and emotionally. It’s that feeling of chasing something mythical, where every feature builds anticipation and drives you deeper into the experience.”
“When reels expand, paylines double, and the chamber glows with energy, players feel the story unfolding through mechanics. That flow, the rise in tension, the surge of possibility, is what makes Squid Gold X2 such a captivating adventure.”
As with all 18Peaches’ releases, Squid Gold X2
is bursting with features that keep every moment alive. The highlight is the legendary Squid 500 mechanic.
Whenever a Wild lands and expands, it triggers the sacred Golden Gate, unlocking hidden energy within the castle walls. As the gate opens, the power of the golden squid surges through the reels, doubling your paylines and dramatically boosting winning potential.
There’s also our X2 Mechanic. During bonus rounds, when the Golden Gate rises it reveals additional rows, expanding the grid and transforming 50 paylines into a breathtaking 100-line battlefield of rewards.
Squid Gold X2 is the latest addition to 18Peaches’ fast-growing catalogue of hit titles that continue to resonate with modern players. Recent successes such as Leprechaun Jackpot Collector, Monster Load-Up Hold & Win, and the high-adrenaline Hacker Crash
Jackpot have firmly established the studio as a creator of distinctive, high-engagement experiences.
As with all 18Peaches titles, Squid Gold X2 is built for effortless market deployment. The platform supports Sweepstakes and Free Rounds via API, enabling operators to easily tailor promotional strategies across diverse regulatory environments.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Young Deer Song, a festive high-volatility slot that takes players deep into a mystical forest where nature’s creatures lead the way to great rewards.
As the moon rises over the treetops, the reels come alive in this Christmas themed title with the fox, owl, raccoon, and wolf, each carrying their own charm and fortune.
The deer, acting as the Wild symbol, prowls across the reels to complete winning combinations, while three or more Scatters trigger free spins beneath the light of the full moon.
The round begins with five spins, where each Extra Spin symbol adds another turn and special icons deliver instant prizes. When six or more bonus symbols appear, players enter a new feature filled with sticky symbols, respins, and jackpot potential.
Once the chase begins, players start with three spins, and each new symbol that lands resets the counter while staying locked in place. Collecting 15 symbols awards the Epic Jackpot, worth 3,000x the bet.
Smaller prizes, Mini (50x), Mega (150x), and Super (500x), can also be won during both this feature and Free Spins, while the Epic reward remains exclusive to the final round.
Packed with engaging mechanics and Evoplay’s signature flair, Young Deer Song showcases the studio’s ability to blend stunning design and dynamic gameplay that keeps players coming back for more.
