Pioneering software provider’s latest Premium release invites players on a magical journey to the Middle Kingdom where Free Spins and sticky wilds can lead to epic wins of 1,200x

This month, sought-after slot producer, Swintt, is preparing to embark on an unforgettable Asian adventure in Jade Princess – an all-new addition to the studio’s popular Premium line-up that pays homage to the region’s rich history while delivering eye-catching wins of up to 1,200x.

Played out across a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, Jade Princess is another beautifully-designed Premium release that features all manner of eastern antiquities across its reels. Alongside classic ace-through-ten playing card values that each come with their own unique Asian twist, the game’s theme is further enhanced by the presence of ceremonial bowls, ancient tea sets and embroidered hand fans.

In addition to these staple symbols, players will also encounter a trio of special icons that are well worth keeping an eye out for. The first is the titular Jade Princess, which appears stacked across all five reels and provides a payline win when just two symbols are present, while the second is the dragon statue, which is both the slot’s highest-paying icon and a wild that can substitute for any other symbol.

The third – and arguably the most rewarding – is the bonus scatter symbol, which is represented by a lucky Chinese coin. Whenever three or more of these important icons appear anywhere on the reels during a base game spin, players will instantly receive 12 Free Spins as the game’s feature is triggered.

When this happens, the excitement levels will crank up a notch as an upbeat soundtrack kicks in and the sparkling lights illuminate the night sky in front of the game’s traditional pagoda background. Of course, this being a Free Spins feature in a Swintt slot, the upgrades aren’t merely cosmetic as the dragon statue will now lock in place for the duration of the feature whenever it appears on the reels.

Thanks to this game-changing enhancement, it’s possible for players to have multiple wilds stuck in place over the course of their Free Spins, with this greatly improving the odds of landing five-of-a-kind wins and reducing the game’s volatility while boosting the overall hit frequency to a generous 26.67%.

A final incentive that will already be familiar to fans of Swintt’s Premium range is the addition of a Risk feature, which can be activated after any winning spin. Whenever this optional mini-game is triggered, players will be prompted to guess the colour or suit of a hidden playing card, with this doubling or quadrupling their current payout until the maximum win is achieved or an incorrect selection is made.

David Mann, Chief Executive Office at Swintt, said: “With its rich culture, striking architecture and awe-inspiring artefacts, ancient China has provided a wealth of inspiration for our designers – and we think we’ve captured the most iconic aspects of this historic part of the world in our Jade Princess slot.
“The slot is built on the same fundamental principles of straightforward gameplay and easy-to-trigger payouts that have already made our Premium line-up so popular with fans, but also includes an engaging Free Spins feature that harnesses the power of sticky wilds to seriously boost players’ prizes.”

As a part of the collaboration, Wunderino is enhancing its entertainment portfolio with a forthcoming increasing range of ZEAL slots. The initial titles are now active and accessible to players on Wunderino.de.

Increased diversity for gamers – enhanced exposure for premium titles.

Simultaneously, ZEAL Instant Games leverages Wunderino’s robust brand visibility and influence, reaching new audiences.

At launch, well-known titles like “The Bookmaker,” “Treasure Volcano,” and “Vegas Blaze” are included in the first batch of games already offered. The objective is to enhance the portfolio by adding more new games in the upcoming months.

Comments regarding the partnership

“With Wunderino, we are gaining a partner that has stood for entertainment, dynamism, and a strong brand identity for many years,” says Alex Green, Vice President Games at ZEAL. “Integrating our titles into one of the most popular platforms in Germany is another important step in making our portfolio accessible to even more players and driving our strategic expansion.”

Vegangster has introduced Hubster AI, a built-in conversational assistant designed to simplify platform setup and daily operations for operators. The tool allows clients to ask practical questions about platform features and receive instant, structured, step-by-step guidance.

Unlike traditional support models that rely on account manager availability and ticket queues, Hubster AI operates 24/7 and supports all major languages. Operators can configure features, adjust settings, and navigate workflows independently—without waiting for working hours.

Hubster AI provides detailed operational guidance across the entire platform, including:

Player Account Management
Bonus and promotion setup
Game and lobby management
CRM workflows
CMS and content updates
Reporting and analytics

Each response delivers clear instructions and, where relevant, direct access to pre-recorded video walkthroughs demonstrating the exact process.

Several brands have already completed onboarding and platform configuration without submitting setup tickets, relying entirely on Hubster AI for operational guidance.

“My idea is to make complex things simple,” said Tatjana Danevica, Product Operations Specialist at Vegangster. “Operators should not deeply need technical expertise or constant support interaction to launch and manage a brand. Hubster AI turns platform knowledge into an always-available guide, removing friction and allowing teams to move.”

Hubster AI forms part of Vegangster’s broader strategy to eliminate the skill barrier in iGaming by turning complex platform knowledge into instant, practical guidance operators can use in real time.
