In-demand software provider’s latest Premium release serves up a snowstorm of wild wins that’s further boosted by the presence of Free Spins and big Bloxx prizes

This month, sought-after software provider, Swintt is inviting players to brave the icy winter weather and join them for another unforgettable slot adventure in Bloxx Arctic – a brand-new release in the studio’s Premium range that features Free Spins and special Bloxx bonuses.

Played out across a 5×3 reel set that includes 30 fixed paylines, Bloxx Arctic sees players venture to the globe’s polar region to unearth prizes of up to 3,500x their stake. With a gameboard that’s trimmed with hanging icicles and a scenic backdrop of rolling tundra, unique symbols to feature in the slot include polar bears, wolves and snowflakes, with a female explorer serving as the substitute wild.

Being a Premium release, the classic ace-through-ten playing card values also appear on the reels, but the key icons that players will really need to look out for include frozen crystals and golden dollar signs. These special symbols serve to trigger the game’s Free Spins and Bloxx Win features respectively, with the latter proving a big hit with fans since it debuted in last year’s Bloxx Fruit release.

Just as in that popular title, Bloxx Arctic features an additional 5×3 reel grid comprised entirely of coloured blocks containing random bonus amounts. In order to access these additional prizes, players need to line-up dollar symbols on three or more adjacent columns starting from the left-most reel, with the corresponding Bloxx amounts then being paid as new ones drop from above to replace them.

The Free Spins feature, meanwhile, not only awards players 10 bonus games, but also makes triggering a Bloxx Win infinitely easier by adding additional dollar symbols to the reels. Activated whenever three or more frozen crystal scatter symbols appear in any reel position, these spins also benefit from the fact that wilds will now also substitute for any dollar symbols, creating further ways for players to win.

Of course, being a Premium title, players will also be able to gamble any base game wins that they collect in Swintt’s optional Risk feature. With this iconic bonus simply requiring players to correctly predict the colour or suit of a hidden playing card to double or quadruple their prize respectively, multiple Risk rounds can be played until either an incorrect guess is made or the max win is triggered.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “This month, the forecast at Swintt’s studios is blustery with a chance of big wins as our exciting new Premium release, Bloxx Arctic, blows into town.
“Featuring Free Spins and the revolutionary Bloxx prize system that we debuted last year, the game offers multiple ways for players to get their hands on ice-cold prizes and should prove a popular addition to our Premium line-up when it launches at Swintt’s online casino partners later this month.”

Full-service digital and cloud infrastructure provider to support customers launching in the fast-growing, emerging regulated Brazilian market with its cutting-edge solutions

Continent 8 Technologies, the award-winning managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity provider to the global iGaming and online sports betting industry, is set to launch in Brazil. This strategic expansion aims to address growing customer demand in this rapidly emerging market. The move comes in anticipation of the market’s quick progression towards a comprehensive regulation of its online offering, with an expected launch in the summer of 2024.

Its move into Brazil strengthens its position in the wider Latin America region, where it has taken an ambitious first-to-market approach to deliver tailored solutions to customers in the likes of Colombia, Peru and Puerto Rico. Brazil adds to a private network spanning more than 100 locations across the world, making it one of the Top 20 best connected networks globally.

Operators and suppliers in Brazil will be able to benefit from Continent 8’s full suite of innovative and reliable digital and cloud infrastructure solutions including a Public Cloud, a scalable and cost-effective offering, with a usage-based commercial model to suit the customer.

Customers will also be able to access its Gaming Exchange, a powerful private internet that offers unrivalled speed, capacity, and security, as well as a full suite of cybersecurity solutions designed to combat the ever-changing threat landscape.

Cybersecurity will be a major concern for both operators and suppliers making a move in Brazil as it is a hotbed for cyber-attacks, in addition to the iGaming and online sports betting industry being one of the most vulnerable to attack ahead of healthcare and finance.

Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Brazil looks set to be a hugely significant market and one that our customers are keen to explore.

“Digital and cloud infrastructure is the foundation of any successful online business, and we are delighted to be launching in Brazil to support new and existing customers with our solutions and services as they make their move in the market.”

Continent 8 has strategically positioned itself with certified operations in various locations across Latin America. This recent expansion into the Brazilian territory is integral to Continent 8’s long-term Latin American and global growth strategy as the company looks to deliver essential local, technical, and regulatory support in each new and emerging market.

Michael Tobin, Founder and CEO of Continent 8 Technologies, added: “For more than 25 years, we have been supporting customers as they launch into new and growing markets, and we couldn’t be more excited to be doing this in Brazil.

“This is a market that offers tremendous potential to both operators and suppliers, but they must have the right foundation in place to maximise the opportunities on the table. Continent 8 has the experience, expertise, and solutions to help businesses do just that.”
