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.”

  • CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
  • College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025
Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6  will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.
“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”
“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”
”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.
Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.
“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”
More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.
CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.
CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
