Hot-shot software providers unveil sizzling new Select release where fire-breathing dragons can blaze a trail across the reels to unlock Free Spins and massive multipliers

The temperature may be dropping as we enter the winter months in Europe, but things are about to heat up at all online casinos that feature Swintt slots as the sought-after software studio prepares to unveil a sizzling new addition to its Select line-up in Path of Dragons.

A five-reel, 20-payline slot, Path of Dragons sees players ascend to the peaks of a mystical mountain where three of these magical fire-breathing beasts reside. There, they’ll be greeted by a suitably epic soundtrack as they spin their way to maximum wins of up to 3,000x their stake using a completely unique line-up of symbols that includes coloured gems, crossed swords and piercing green lizard eyes.

In addition to these ornately decorated base game icons, players will need to keep an eye out for the red, green and golden dragons that appear on reels two, three and four respectively. Whenever one of these special scatters appears, a dragon of the same colour will swoop its way across the reels from left to right, leaving behind a trail of fire that transforms everything in its path into matching symbols.

Should two dragons descend on the reels simultaneously, any point where their paths intersect will be transformed into a substitute wild, while if all three pass over each other together, the aforementioned wild will be upgraded with a 2x multiplier. Not only that, but landing three dragon scatter symbols at once will also trigger the game’s main feature, where even greater rewards await.

Whenever this happens, players will be awarded an initial eight Free Spins as the skies are set ablaze and the misty mountain backdrop transforms into a sea of fiery red. Now whenever a dragon scatter symbol lands, all symbols in its path will instantly be upgraded to substitute wilds – while any two dragons that cross each other’s trails will apply a 2x prize multiplier to the wilds that they leave behind.

Should players be fortunate enough to again land all three dragons during the Free Spins feature, not only will they receive an additional eight games, but the trio can also combine to create an even bigger 5x prize multiplier on any wilds that invariably leads to huge payouts whenever it appears on the reels.

All of this combines to make Path of Dragons a medium-high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.07%, meaning that should the terrifying trio favour players with their fiery blessing, there’s potentially an inferno of prizes to be won – especially if they use the Buy Feature button to access Free Spins early.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Path of Dragons is a fiery new addition to our Swintt Select catalogue that combines a captivating fantasy theme with real red hot prize potential.
“Featuring a unique bonus mechanic that can transform symbols, create wilds and apply additional prize multipliers, there are numerous ways for players to blaze their way to maximum wins of 3,000x their bet and we’re sure the game will prove a scorching success for all of our online casino partners.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
